GMK Modern Dolch 2

A modern take on a timeless classic

GMK Modern Dolch 2

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

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

Aesthetic is for those of you who like to add a little bit of colour to your boards, either through extra accents or through LEDs under lock keys. It also adds both centred and offset 6u spacebar support.

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!
