This is a collaboration between Snappo, Duckboi and me. We would rather see one set succeed than none, so we decided to join force and work together.
Have you always thought you were meant for something bigger (come on, click)? Have you always thought this planet was not meant for you? This is your chance, this is your time! Enlist and come die for the EMPIRE!
Kits
Colors:
Alphas: WS2 - CR
Modifiers: CR - WS2
The keyset will be composed of three kits - they will be revised and are subject to change:
Core Kit
Here are some of the changes I requested:
-
that the R2 delete keys be replaced by backspace keys;
-
that two 6u (centered and off-centered) spacebars be added; and
-
that a “5” barred key be added.
Spacebar Kit
Here are some of the changes I requested:
-
that the white 6u spacebar be taken out of the kit to be added in the core kit;
-
that two 6u (centered and off-centered) and one 7u black spacebars be added; and
-
that “little” spacebars be added in black as well.
Novelty Kit- a.k.a. the one that may never see the light of day
Here are some of the changes I requested:
-
that the R4 1u novelties be changed for 1.5u novelties;
-
that the number of two novelties be doubled (four 1.25u instead of two, etc.); and
-
that a couple of red novelties be added with a black Empire logo.
Extras
I am an artisan lovers, as a matter of fact what really decided me is that I have no good keyset to go with these little dudes.
-
I contacted Booper to see if we could work something out and if I could get her on board;
-
as of this morning (07/06) Alphakeycaps is on board and there will be a raffle for his Jedi Blinker which would work so well with GMK Empire!
-
RAMA will produce something special (not the X/O keycaps) for this set, I will share more details when everything is done and will share some renders soon
Every person joining the Empire GB will be granted one unique entry into the raffles IF I end up teaming up with someone!
Monochrome and Empire fusing
As mentionned at the beginning, Snappo and I have been talking about the sets and we have agreed it is better to work together to reach a common goal, rather than have our sets compete against each other.
We are keeping the theme of this keyset, the novelties (if Disney miraculously accepts) as well as the artisans but we are changing the white from WS1 to WS2 (see this and this), we are changing to Monochrome’s icon mods. Kits will be revised and might be subject to change. We are also thinking about a new name, hang tied
GB Announcement
I still have to check with the vendors but I will either go with:
- for Europe, MyKeyboard.eu;
- for the States and Canada Novelkeys; and
- for Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, zFrontier.
Pricing & MOQ
TBD as I’m still waiting the MOQ and the changes (like the addition to the novelty kit) but will update this in the next couple of days!
