Im probably not alone among Ergodox users in wishing I had
the option to use more GMK sets. In particular, to my
knowledge no sets thus far that have used black (color code
CR) as a base have offered an Ergodox kit at all. There are
quite a few such sets: Miami Nights, Demonic, Signal (Blue
on Black), Originative/White on Black (currently on
Massdrop), etc. There are also other sets, such as the
current Monochrome group buy, that could easily use it. So,
I would like to get a CR Ergodox kit produced.
Here is
my proposed kit:
The accent colors match Miami Nights, Demonic, and
Signal. Id be open to adding a fourth if enough people want
one and can agree on which one, but three is fine with me.
The 2/3/4 profile for the thumb cluster 1u keys isnt really
standard, but it provides coverage for Planck/Preonic with
only 1 additional key needed (R4 2u) which reduces the
overall cost of the kit. Ive put 2/3/4 on my Ergodox and
didnt really notice much of a difference; however, I dont
actually use the columns of 1u keys in the thumb clusters
much at all. They could be the more standard 2u everywhere
but it would require adding four R2 keys plus a pair of R3
and R4 keys for Planck support (8 keys total). Obviously,
adding more keys will raise the price, and 8 keys is about
16% of the current size.
Speaking of pricing, its still
TBD since it will depend on the final constitution of the
kit. Being standalone, it will be a bit higher than Ergodox
child kits. I am already organizing proxies to handle the
transactions for the USA, Europe, and hopefully Asia. This
is one of the questions on the form, so that I can let them
know the number of potential kits sold.
I would like to
run the GB in a week or two and here is a form to register
your interest in it, along with options you would prefer:
