I'm very happy to see the gmk involvement in the mechanical keyboard world, but sincerely I don't think that I will buy this one: I will wait for a 75% standard version, if it will ever be available, or for a 100% keyboard in iso uk layout. I appreciate particularly the fact that there is a new software which will allow to customize each keypress, this is really fantastic. What I don't like about the new keyboard: - completely incompatible with existing keysets because it has a non standard bottom row, and because pgup, pgdown etc belong to a different row - it's only 20mm smaller that a tkl with standard keycaps. To save 20mm you lose compatibility with all existing keysets. - it has a 6u spacebar (centered stem or offset stem?) which is really a rare sigthing - incompatible with all the existing cases in the market - you can't use the keycaps bundled with the keyboard on any other keyboard, and this is really a shame Personally I'd like more if they could sell a 75% keyboard with standard keycaps; with each keyboard they could also bundle extra keys to cover a 100% standard layout: you add about 20 keys, with an increase of the price of less than 10 usd, but with an enormous benefit to the user.

GiorgioPretty much GMK set is going to support the bottom row, except for possibly the space bar.
You can also use properly-profiled, but mis-legended caps in the nav area.

pwade3Has the 6u spacebar the a center stem or an offset stem? If it has a center stem, well, that is available nowhere else. Is has been included in 1/1000 gmk group buys.
Giorgiospacebar is confirmed by Zambumon to be 6u off-centered stem.
