GMK 9009 R2
Manufactured in Germany with original Cherry tooling and using a colourway from a classic trading keyboard, this set became an instant classic. The set broke records selling over 1400 kits total! For this project we decided to work together with some incredible vendors from the United States, Belgium, Korea, China and Singapore. This helped a lot of people save a lot of money on shipping and definitely contributed to the sets success.

Kits
Base
The 9009 Base Kit was designed to offer as much compatibility as possible while still balancing the price. The kit supports layouts from a standard 104 key, to an exotic 1800 and anything in between. Note the front printed legends for the numpad to add to the retro feeling, the 1.5u super keys and the extra ISO compatibility for our European friends. Included are not only the widely used 6.25 and 7u spacebar sizes, but also a 6u size with a centred stem: Topre users rejoice!
Spacebar
This really is the Cherry on top of 9009. While also adding support for split spacebars and allowing for the shine-haters amongst you to swap out your spacebars once they start to shine, the spacebar kit is mainly designed to add some extra vibrancy to your beloved board. Includes support for 2.25u and 2.75u R4 keys and centre stemmed 6u, 6.25u and 7u spacebars.
Add-on
Do you want to crank up the vintage level of you board even further with some windowed caps? Or do you want to add a more modern splash with the Windows 10 icon keys? Than this add-on kit is for you! It includes the aforementioned Windows 10 icon modifiers and additional windowed keys allowing for LED shine through but also alternative caps lock keys. Nothing is more retro than this!
