[IC] GMK Big Ass Enter pack

jihadu · 23 Oct 2017, 12:03

What's up, clackers?
This is an IC for a pack of 10 GMK Big Ass Enter keys and (possibly) 1U backspace keys in community colourways.
I've set aside WoB and Black on Beige as they are the most popular OG colourways.

23/10/2017 IC launched. Waiting to hear from GMK on MOQ, stabilizer config and the 1U backspace

But why?

Why not ? The BAE is awesome

Forgive my ignorance but which keyboards actually support this BAE?
I never looked into this topic

It depends. Old Cherry boards that had BAE used a ISO style stabilizer layout centered on 1.5U upper half(instead of being centered on the 1.25U, like regular ISO Enters) that used a secondary mx switch for stabilization, but my objective is to make it so it's compatible with standard ISO stabilizers and PCB's.

From the looks of it ... Meh let me see if I can find one of these keycaps and try putting them on a standard ISO layout. It could be compatible already?

OG Cherry BAE does not fit on the stems of an ISO Enter key, the OP is verifying with GMK if current BAE mold does fit on ISO's stems, they have said so. Yet, it has not been confirmed.
