KITS ARE LOCKED!
I am open only for changes which do fix some major issues
if there are any.
Dear fellow geeks,
i welcome you to the interest
check for GMK Carbon Round 2 which will probably happen on
Massdrop in Q4 of this Year (german fiscal year format). So
we got some time and i want to use it for getting
usefuland
constructivefeedback for the upcomming
drop.
GMK Carbon Round 1 owners will be able to get
some addons since its using still the same custom colors.
Tho not all kits will be compatible with GMK Carbon Round 1.
The reason: I am very passionate about this hobby and i am
in mad love with Cherry profile and i decided to focus in
this round onto vintage Cherry profile. Most of you heard
probably about the row 0 and row 5 which you will find on
some vintage Cherry boards but also in some current GMK
Groupbuys. For example recent Triumph Adler Groupbuy which i
joined in a heart beat after it went online.
However
most of groupbuys do utilze only rows 1,2,3 and 4. This is
because row 5 is missing 1.25u key which is crucial for most
modern layouts and making a new mold for it is actually an
expensive investment. In general any key mold is expensive
and please dont mix it with legend molds. So in this round i
want to take the chance and introduce 1.25u key for row 5,
which will make Cherry profile complete from my enthusiastic
point of view. I hope this fruits and i hope if the mold
gets build it will be used extensively in all upcoming GMK
keyset projects. Also it may motivate keyset designer to
rerun their keysets which i would love to see.
Anyway
let me show you how a full Cherry profile looks like from
the side:
Keep in mind i am using modern row notation. Afaik in
cherry dicumentation the rows are called (from left to
right): F, E, D, C, B, A
So this side view displays
also how the base sets for round 2 will be. Being honest i
can say setting up the full cherry profile kits was quite
challenging since i had to rethink all the established kit
designs. The additional rows 0 and 5 do requiring more keys
in order to cover some important basic layouts.
GMK
Carbon round 2 will probably drop in November or December of
2018
So enough said and i dont like to write much. Here
are the kits for Round 2.
Base kits
Upgrade for Round 1 GMK Carbon -
DISCARDED
Extension kits
Novelty kits
Kits are not final and are subject to change. Base
kits are almost complete and if i dont discover some major
flaw they will get only minor changes.
If you dont see
the kit you desire dont worry here is my ToDo list with
missing kits:
- Definitely Spacebar kit (need some confirmations in order to make it) done
- Definitely International kit (NORDEUK) done
- Definitely Dvorak and Colemak kit. done
- Definitely a kit with some usefull extra keys like vertical function keys. discarded
- Definitely a kit with icon bottom row ala Yuri. Considering also OS specific keys like for win or macos partially done and partially discarded
- Probably Upgrade kit for round 1 to Vintage rows. done
- Probably 40% kit done
- Probably beige mods with og icons like Bone base kit and some sugar keys like in alpha extensions (see the bee caps lock key in Beezarre alphas) done
-
Probably any idea i get…
