my school sends me an email when i get a package in the post office.

So the dolch set on originativeco is made in germany which makes me assume its GMK but then all their kits are split up and priced gouged..

It is GMK, the only difference is the Dolch set there includes text on the mod keys (shift/enter etc). Prices are higher but if you only wanted the Numpad/Mods it might be better than having spent 110$ on the Base Kit here. I'd be more concerned about Originative actually fulfilling the orders, 8-12 weeks lead time and a history of ignoring e-mails/delayed shipments is not promising.

Originative started the 8-12 week thing back on July 10th so well over 12 weeks now.

Yeah I'm going to email them about it. Also the way they did their mod kits is weird. They didn't even specifically list what was in each.

Any Canadians get their sets yet?

Ask about deliveries and they arrive.

My Dolch, Colour Pack and stabilizers arrived today.

Thanks Ivan!!

I guess I will get mine next week...

I'm trying to get orders sent out as quickly as I can. Got though another 40 odd orders today.

The main reason for the numbers only numpad legends is so you can use them on standalone numpads, boards like the CM TK or Plum 96 and etc that don't follow the standard secondary nav arrangements. I also like that it's more minimal and cleaner looking which follows on well with the over all aesthetic.

Why does the '" key (hyphen key? Don't make fun of me!) have an @ symbol front printed?

[IvanIvanovich]

See GB layout.

[GSimon]

See GB layout.

It's see that it is there, just not sure what the purpose of the @ sign is. In other words to me it seems as out of place as having a $ sign front-printed on the letter 'a' key.

I'm sure there's some logical purpose, not questioning that, but what is it? :/

That is for UK ISO compatibility. On the UK ISO you have @ and ' on the same key, @ instead of "

Thanks, the more you know

My set arrived today

Thanks again for running yet another awesome GMK GB Ivan 

Hopefully next time you offer  the "`~" and "\|" keys in both colors, so people can choose between classic and symmetrical look!

As long as we're talking about *next* time, we really need an R1 1x \| key!  With the R2 backspace and R3 control we were so close to *accidentally* supporting the HHKB layout.

I created a pseudo symmetrical look with the Joker key and the smaller backspace key ;)

yup, saw it on the light saber thread, pretty clever!  :thumb:

if anyone wants to sell me the 00 & 0 1x1 R1 key let me know =)

If you can't find someone in the US to sell you the keys, let me know. I don't have any numpads.

I doubt GMK does have a mold for that, considering there's no cherry keyboard with that key in R1.

Why not?

[IvanIvanovich]

Yeh that exists... I only forgot it.

[Motan22]

Thanks ever so much for delivering me my first ever GMK set Ivan, it is above and beyond what I expected. The quality is just amazing.   

Some quick potato shots including how I am probably going to be laying these out on my Duck Viper once I have finished building it:

[Karura]

Yeh that exists... I only forgot it.

Ivan got a question about the JOKER key. Is GMK able to create new legends easily, or was that from some old mold they had lying around?

I can't imagine what a "joker" key would be for

OH, that would totally make sense haha. Didn't come across my mind. Makes me wonder what other goodies/interesting molds they have

[IvanIvanovich]

The JOKER key was something they had. I've been asking about cutting some new legends now and then, but they always tell me they aren't ready to offer that service yet.

Very nice! But did you put the packaging material between the plate and the PCB? I always thought people put it between case and PCB. Or am I seeing things?

The PCB is in the background. I think he just put some switches into the plate for the pic

Yeah pretty much this. I still need to build the board and am undecided on a few bits and waiting for LEDs so I just threw things together for a picture 
Do most people tend to put material between the pcb / case then (shelf liner is it?). What purpose does it serve?

 I was thinking about getting some o rings to put between the pcb and case to help soften the keystrokes a little but I need to find somewhere to source some the right size in the UK.

lwpl just ran a GB, he might have a few laying around. he's in the uk

Didn't even notice the PCB lmao, fine then I took some packaging material (very similar to that from the Viper) and put it in my other keyboard. It makes the case feel and sound less hollow. Quite nice in my opinion.

Waiting for my spacebars!

Got my stuff the other day, thanks so much Ivan!

The board the set is for isn't built yet, but had some fun with them anyway   

[whentheclouds]

i really enjoy your photos and their distinctive style. what do you think about red housings in general? they look really nice in standalone photos (especially when combined with a dark keyset), but i feel like the red draws too much attention to itself if it's placed in a black-predominant setting. and having a keyboard as the centerpiece of your computer area is just wrong to me

[Ripudio]

What case is that?! Its gorgeous!

[Puddsy]

What case is that?! Its gorgeous!

I think it's a 356 mini.

Thanks! I generally prefer black or silver/gray housings. My desk isn't predominantly black, my computer case is white as is my desk - I don't mind the way colored cases look there personally

TacticalStache is right, it's a 356 mini

I remember seeing that you got one in the mail recently, so I figured that you'd put dolch on it at some point.

Good choice, looks great.

[madhias]

This is a group buy i really regret that i did not participate. I remember when it was live i waited every day and thought like tomorrow i'm in, but somehow... Maybe i'll catch a set in the classifieds sometimes.

That wasn't me Thanks though, I like dolch on red cases, it looks cool 

[Limewirelord]

Oh man, I hope mine arrives before this weekend.   It's the last chance I have to grab stuff from my house in a while. 

[keyit]
