Objectives:

  • Simple monochrome gray set consisting of GMK standard color pair (2B, CR).
  • R5 row support.
  • Supports most popular keyboard layouts with a lot of flexibility but cutting lots of common keyset options, in order to reduce number of keys in the set for what most people actually use (down to 130 keys). So 60%, 65%, fc660[cm], TKL in all variations are supported, but not full size, 1800, 40%, Ergodox, or any split space combinations.
  • Of course, that means no extra kits and no extra country support except the good’ol US Ansi.
  • But as a European, ISO is a must and will be supported. But not even UK gets a break. Instead it is the only set (on paper), that has explicit “ISO” keys ;). So a true ISO lover shouldn’t miss it (if GMK goes along, we see with the price later)..
  • No Win keys (because you know why), I have chosen Code instead (could be Super, Meta, Cmd, or what have you, but one is enogh I think, and code can mean anything, and I am a programmer, and n’uff said).
  • Extra F keys. I mean, what does Scroll Lock mean or do? Yes, you are right. Nothing.
  • Standard/classical GMK/Cherry Symbol and text, aka Up Arrow and Shift in letters etc., except for the 1.5U Backspace with a planned symbol (because I think the key is too short for both or even text - or because I like the symbol).
  • Only single classical tighter/scooped Cherry style F and J home row keys (no bar on these two keys). If you aren’t yet, you will get used to the scooped keys, believe me. And two keys saved.. ;).
  • Distribution out of Europe. But the idea is to send overseas, east and west, as well.
    Next Step:
  • Check with GMK for price. What is the impact of R5 row and a few keys I have never seen in any other set. My idea is to spend extra for R5, but some new keys in the list are not really “key”, so I might replace them if it would make a real difference in price (e.g. the F0 key etc.).
    Renders:
  • I don’t want renders, because renders look always fantastic.
    Photos of Some Real Stuff
  • Holy cow, I wanted to point to some photos of GMK Slate.. but that seems to have never made it? Not sure about the modifiers of GMK Muted or if that uses some custom gray instead.
  • So here is something from GMK themselves with the 2B a gray, but I am not sure if this is really a photo. Anyway, if you see some standard color from GMK better and more gray than 2B, let me know. Otherwise I don’t see much choice and 2B it will be.
