And done, stripes for sure..
An striped shift kit is likely utopic..

Ergodox/Planck kit
- Added complete row 4 bottom row. The reason for this is some people want to use some 1u modifiers from the base set.

Mad props for giving the Ergodox (and Planck) some love.

Dont worry Star on stripes does not belong to US only. It has wide use by military around the world.

In case of Yuri stripes behind the star represent the Ribbon of Saint George. That ribbon was used by UDSSR military and it is also used by Russia.

Wrong. Yuri never had the corresponding decoration, moreover the Cross of Saint George has never been official Soviet decoration. That Ribbon of Saint George is just modern pseudopatriotic hype, nothing more.
I personally prefer to think that 3 stripes and a star represent the Major rank he's been granted after come back.

I think you haven't read through the wiki article i have posted. Also the soviets used that ribbon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Glory

Anyway i'll keep that star on stripes. May everyone give it its own meaning.

I've read it in Russian, JFYI.

This colors have been used throughout Imperial and Soviet military history and is used now, but it's battle decoration. It is strongly associated with war, heroism and violence, not with space exploration.
The modern usage of ribbon in the same colors by civils and paramilitary depreciate the whole thing IMO.

Anyway, it's up to you. For me and I guess some others Yuri is not associated with this ribbon.

The star on stripe stands for a relationship between Yuri and military. And that ribbon followed the russian and sovjet military through history. So i see nothing wrong with it. If someone got offended by that then thats his personal problem.

So hyped for this set! waiting for it to drop any day now

Update.(XPOST)

Ergodox/planck kit
- Added the requested keys. Having options is always better and the added keys makes it only few bucks pricier. Anyway i prefer variety. I think this kit can also suit a planck with row 1.


Novelties
- Added ISO enter cosmonaut helmet novelty. Thanks for voting

Just great. I'm grateful. This rocks my ergo world. And… I'm also a big supporter of having options. Current status: stage of pure bliss.

I love the big ergo kit, really neat!
Is there a reason why the icon mod kit doesnt cover a full TKL?
I still think that an only-modifier-kit would be awesome as it makes combining with OG sets easier
(adding arrows/nav cluster/F5, 6, 7, 8 suffices)

This set is not proven. All kits are based(require) on the base kit. So the icon mods are optional addon (they are not meant to avoid base set entirely) to the base kit, though you can buy it without the base kit.

no problem.
looks good nevertheless

And ordered, sweet keycaps

Got my Yuri directly from GMK. I hope all who ordered apreciate these RL pictures. The set looks even better in person. Yuri Sets are now on their way to Massdrop. Thus you will be able to hold it in your hands soon.

I can feel the looks of people who regret not getting Yuri

Kinda regret not getting the hammer and sickle caps, they look neat. As for the rest, no thank you, not my cup of tea.

I'm willing to bet that you're in the minority there. This set will be HOT on the second hand marketplace.

That's like saying the pope has a funny hat; what gmk set does not sell for absurd prices on meme market? Moreover, had this been reddit, I'd most probably been in the minority, but it isn't so I doubt I am. Most people around here just don't care enough to express an opinion.

Any pictures of the Icon modifiers? Please?

Check the GB on MD: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x ... guest_open

I meant, real life pictures.

Sure but they are sealed because i dont want to use them in the near future.

Thank you.

For any one wanting to sell their sets, I'd be interested in purchasing them. Please pm me. Thanks.
