GMK Modern Dolch 2
A modern take on a timeless classic
Inspiration
As the name might suggest, GMK Modern Dolch is a cooler and more modern take on the classic Dolch colourway. It turned into must have keyset for a lot of people and was voted second best keyset of the year in Mech Madness 2019. Modern Dolch 2 keeps everything that made the original great while adding more compatibility, accents, add-ons and a whole new take on the Modern Dolch theme in the form of the Mist kit.
Kits
Standard
The standard kits has compatibility for the most popular layouts in the community. It features the reworked icon mods introduced with GMK 8008/9009 and has the classic Modo accent options for both escape and enter keys.
Addition
Addition adds support for 660c style layouts, ISO UK, 60%s with arrows and boards with an F13 key like the TGR Jane V2 CE. It also adds alternate legend options for 65% layouts and more.
Numbers
Numbers adds compatibility for layouts with a numpad. It also includes the keys needed to outfit a 1800 style layout.
Obscure
Obscure adds support for 40% layouts, both staggered and ortholinear, and split spacebar boards with options ranging from 1u to 3u.
Alternate
Alternate introduces a whole new simplistic look to Modern Dolch by “alternating” the existing colours on some keys. This kit is great if you enjoy monochrome accents or a more uniform looking f row.
Norde
This kit adds compatibility for ISO NO, SE, FL, DK, DE, US layouts. It also includes 1.25 and 1.5u Alt Gr keys, a 1.25u Shift and ISO enters in the 3 Modern Dolch colours. This means that Norde users don't have to buy the Addition kit!
Aesthetic

Command
Command is specifically aimed at Mac users by adding correct legends for Command and Option keys.
Modern
Modern adds the option for a full icon bottom row, function, escape and 175 control and command keys. It also adds an alternate icon for the tab key.
Mist
Mist is a stand-alone base kit for those of you who want a cooler and more colourful take of Modern Dolch. It's kit design is nearly identical to the Standard kit, exchanging the red accents for an F13 key and a second B for Alice layouts in combination with the spacebars from the Obscure kit. This makes sure all the most popular layouts from 60% to TKL are supported!
