[quochung1989]

Yeah maybe red alert or teal

[Candyflip]

I would like to see something like this!

I'm thinking that color is only because it was faded etc, not sure they match it.

Yeah that one... almost always is discolored when you can find one. Though I did see someone that had a US layout version of it in the proper original un****ed up color. We could do something similar, but not exactly with CP/N5, V4/CP... or could go lighter and use UN6037.

I like the n5 blue, it would look similar yet different in a good way if that even makes sense..

[MOZ]

V4 - Blue from RGB from Team-Redline's GB, KBD-MOD
N5 - Blue from EK's "Authentic Cherry" caps in their store
UN6037 - Cyan from CMYK/CMYW

None of them are close to the color in that German Police board. Closest would be the Cyan, which I would say is the original color of the caps in the board and due to yellowing over time has become more teal.

So it's pretty much GMK Raindrop?

[Halvar]

The LED sticker has the original colors AFAIK.

Shouldn't this all be in a new IC thread? Still in the spirit of fun

~~~~~ PURPLE AND BEIGE ~~~~~

Probably should be in a IC thread but...

White on 2B grey with white on purple, V2 orange, or N5 blue mods

[Halvar]

A black on orange (or yellow) modifier + nav set would look great with my Skidata as well as BoW old Cherry stuff!   

[biochem]

Any interest in SoWaRe?

[LechnerDE]

I also doubled my order to resell the second set later, but I am afraid all this won't help

I also don't think an interest check will really help. We might find a nice compromise for the ~50 people that are always active in Ivan's GB threads, but these guys (including me) will place an order anyways because it's GMK

What we need is a set that is nice enough for the average Joe and not too extravagant.

We should stick to the compostition of keys we worked out in this GB and go for a nice two-tone set.

I guess we could try Red Alert / CCnG GMK edition?

There are already people asking for re-runs of the SP group buys and I would buy this for sure although I have these sets in DCS already.

Of course this would be nothing special or innovating, but that's why it could suceed...

[lightsout714]

Classic beige gets my vote. Should sell easy. If we can't get gray at 250 are we really going to get it with purple or teal? I'm down for red alert with gray or beige mods.

Yeah, I'm down for some classic stuff or red alert
Maybe someone will come up with something revolutionary :O

I think the problem with beige is that many people have OG Cherry beige sets and just want something different.  At least, that's the boat I'm in.

[esoomenona]

[billnye]

I would hope for a new and original GB, instead of a reproduction of an existing set.

[cphead]

I'd be down for a classic set like beige but also not sure how much traction that would gain.

Problem with original sets is not sure what will sell @_@.

[bazemk1979]

coffee/cream with these color combos? caps are from GMK

[IvanIvanovich]

I'll get an IC up soonish... but for now I am thinking to have a vote between
1. Commodore style inverted black on beige/white
2. red on white/beige set similar to the 60th Anniversary 3494
3. TA Alpha style N7/U9 alphanums with CP/AE mods
4. TBD... I will be open to further suggestions, all of which absolutely must be stock colors. Custom colors are not possible on our reduced 250 tier MOQ.

Key selection will be pretty much set to the same that is in the OP for this set unless there is a very good reason for any changes.

[pmh1410]

I vote RA with Beige modified or Orange charcoal two tone

[Kfactork]

I would buy the N7/U9 set, unless someone suggests an even better looking one  )

This sounds good.  The Commodore style would be interesting.

[pix3l_fodder]

its actually going to be impossible to get an ISO Dolch / dark theme that isn't garish isn't it? Everyone says no Dolch but i've yet to see an ISO version ever be posted!

ISO Dolch exists, it's just a fair bit rarer than the ANSI variants.

[tlt]

I vote for a WoB modifier pack to complement vintage sets to fit on modern keyboards.

[r3dx]

Ivan, I just put in an order because I'm not sure if I had put one in earlier. I think I put in one when you still had it split into different packs but I'm not sure if you carried those over.

I'd also be willing to pick up another order if we get any closer to close the gap.

If it wouldn't step on anyones toes and there is enough interest I'd be up for running a plain dolch set GB with the keyset the same as this keyset...
It's not my personal first choice - this current set was but I feel that there's enough peeps out there that would buy it

I would definitely order a set and all the people who wanted to take part in the Korean Dolch GB (that seems to be dead right now) will probably join as well.

AFAIK they would have been made by cherry at the time but GMK has since bought cherry's keycap equipment.

I would definitely order a set. I particularly like this keyset because it caters for ISO/GB users as well as the usual US. 

I would also be interested in a classic beige. Boring maybe, buts that's my preference...

I would order that.

A lot of people seem to have been stuck on Dolch when this group buy was being suggested to them. Getting a Dolch groupbuy completed may also have an added benefit where enough sets saturate the forums allowing other options to be explored without people longing for that one theme.

I think Red on White (mono tone) is better than Red on White/Beige. Voted

Everyone! Please consider a full set based on the WoG Code key posted by Dianoda, pic (courtesy of Dianoda). This would look amazing!

I would get some funds together for that for sure. Although it would probably take orders away from Ivan's buy, whatever that turns out to be.

I dont think GMK have tools to do these today because they're kinda old and quite different to the usual keycaps on Cherry keyboard, not only the double-shot look but also the size to, they're a little bit smaller :/

I'm referring to the WoG color itself :) Just using that pic as an example.

That may indeed be a good point. Maybe I should just do this so everyone will STFU about Dolch already.

[gojira54]

I think dolch will meet the MOQ.
Also if you go with the alternate graphical legends for the home group/mods/numkeys then it is already different from previous versions.
I propose you add an optional x cents donation to the order system so you get a set for free!

My hope is that if/when a Dolch group buy succeeds then perhaps at some point a group buy for the alphas to match this dark grey set could be proposed. And then we could end up with this colour theme in the end

[yicaoyimu]

Even if I have Originative Dolch already, I may grab another set just because it's GMK and Ivan runs the buy.

Why can't I stop laughing at how Ivan said "STFU" hahaha. The big frustration with this Dolch obsession lol.
