GB Thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=116307.0

Hi all,

I'd like to unveil a project I've been working on in the background for a while now: GMK Indigo is inspired by Japanese denim culture, especially sashiko mending.

NEW IC Form & Social Media

As the kits have had a major revision, please do me a favor and fill out the NEW FORM! If you'd like, you can also follow me and my other projects on Instagram.

This set is slated for a February 2022 GB window with the following vendors:

Kits

Base

The updated Base kit now features Latin-only legends with support for 60% boards and up. Terminal-style ISO and F13 are included.



Hiragana

Due to costing, JIS support has been dropped, and this kit now features ANSI-only Hiragana support.



Extension

The Extension kit features a wealth of additional compatibility:

• R3/R4 PgUp/PgDn
• 2u Shift
• MacOS support
• 40s support
• Alice support

Spacebars

Alice support being moved to the new Extension kit made room for some more accents here.



Novelties

Accent arrows have been added here. The 1.25u and 1.5u novelty artworks have been swapped.
