[xiaodian317]

GB is open on GH
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80942.0


The IC for this set is over.
Finally we choose the four color and place the order directly.
The GB will be started at some right time for this set.
And more colorful GEEKHACK keycaps will try as another set.

Thank you for all your support.

[SpAmRaY]

What kind of pricing are we looking at?

[64rky]

What kind of pricing are we looking at?

don't care, TAKE MY MONEY!!


ps. I am in!

[xiaodian317]

What kind of pricing are we looking at?

If enough members are interested in the sets, I will ask for the price to GMK.
I think it will be a little higher(Two factor) per key than the character key.

1.) icon design and manufacture cost by GMK
2.) Cherry factor

Just like have done the Group Buy for the a small quantity of key set. (CMYK or others)

[SpAmRaY]

You won't know how many are really interested without a price.

[xiaodian317]

The price is the first factor on GH?

Thanks for your suggestion,
I will update the price in some next days.

[64rky]

ps. how about including a GH key?

[xiaodian317]

ps. how about including a GH key?

That's perfect and I like to do it
but that need the authorization by GH's boss just the same as Cherry.

Thanks for your idea and now in my mind.

Where is he? Let's get him in here pronto!

Also, I don't want to stir it all up here but for the reddit communite, you could think about doing snoo! or whatever that little alien is

[UsualSuspectXXX]

ps. how about including a GH key?

Consider me interested (depending on the price). I also thing that including a matching GH key in the different sets would be significantly beneficial to the sale.

[iMav]

Fine by me (including a GH key).

[CommonCurt]

If you manage to get GMK GH caps I'll definitely be in.

[cryptokey]

I'd be in if a GH key was included 

[swimmingbird]

I've been in contact with GMK about getting these made - I think 2500 for just 3 colour combos is a bit of a tall order - it would be great to get more colours (maybe 8-10 combos)

[mrboovn]

I am in for these 

[iamtootallforthis]

I would be in for a bunch of different combos!

CR &V1
T9@V1
it  will be  ok

[27]

I'm interested!

[swimmingbird]

Interested to hear pricing. 

Still waiting to hear back from GMK and Cherry on permissions

With the most recent Chinese buys that ran the cap they actually went through Cherry to get them made rather than directly going to GMK

[STARLORDCOFFEE]

[Auxo]

depending on where my financial situation is at (currently looking for work).. i might be down

[Diokhan]

I'm down for it!

[swimmingbird]

GMK got back to me - happy to manufacture once I get the permission of Cherry

Fingers crossed guys

[CommonCurt]

Sorry if this has already been answered  , but does that mean they'll do GH caps also?

GMK would do it but to get the mold made it would cost a lot to get the mold made - can't remember the exact number but it was something like $4-5k

Ah, i see. I remember hearing about the cost of the mold a while ago, but wasn't sure if something had changed with the price since people where talking about having some made.

It could be done but would probably add about $20 to the cost of a set (assuming you got 250 orders)

edit: for the first run of course

[CommonCurt]

I'd definitely throw in for the cause

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Why not run this with JTK? They already have the molds for the Cherry logo & Geek Hack keys! Also, probably much more willing to to more custom legends in the future.

[64rky]

So both the valentine and monkey GMK sets have the cherry logo,  did they in theory also need permission?

[swimmingbird]

Why not run this with JTK? They already have the molds for the Cherry logo & Geek Hack keys! Also, probably much more willing to to more custom legends in the future.

JTK's roadmap is pretty much taped out for quite a while - don't think its possible at the moment

Plus I'm wanting to get the colours to match existing gmk sets

[xiaodian317]

I am not to say that the JTK is not good.
But the JTK Cherry Logo is unauthorized.

[xiaodian317]

So both the valentine and monkey GMK sets have the cherry logo,  did they in theory also need permission?

When you wil see the render graph by GMK, that means it already get the permission from the brand. 
The GMK is so cautious on the copyright things.

Yep this is the case

Been speaking to GMK and they have referred me on to Cherry to get permission even before doing a mock up

That makes sense. And yea, I'm sure they have themselves booked out for quite a while.

[popkorn62]

Yes yes ues

[s3vv4]

I don't really get why so little colors when you want to sell 5-15 per participant, wouldn't several colors be way more interesting, or is that just so bad for production cost?

[xiaodian317]

Thanks for your input,

For the Cherry Logo, it has the VI standard requirement.
Only the Red/Black/White for each other.
And each color has the MOQ maybe.

I will update this if i get something new.

[turboloser]

This just makes me wish that Hack'd was like this.

I'm interested in this. by the way, what's the VI standard requirement for Cherry logo keycap? is it a requirement from GMK or Cherry? this would be helpful if we are to plan any future groupbuys and include the new Cherry logo in it.

[romevi]

Sure, why not?

[Limewirelord]

Are we only doing the red on black colorway?  I think this would look fantastic in some other colors.

[xiaodian317]

Red on white
White on Red
Black on Red

Of couse we can do some colorful choice.

[Giorgio]

How many interest checks are there about this logo?

This is a really nice keycap, and the more offer the better, but it seems like swimmingbird has been doing exactly the same work on this subject.

[livingspeedbump]

my money is yours

Hello Giorgio,
Yes, I have noticed that swimmingbird want to start the GMK single key at IC here.
And will also do the Cherry Logo keycap after I posted the thread https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=78534.0
(Please note that the red on black Cherry logo keycap is ordered by me).

I have gotten the permission from Cherry and GMK.
So this set will come out maybe in the next some months.
That's not the competitive action, I wish he can also do some amazing keycaps.

[luckyryan333]

Great! Count me in. 

[xiaodian317]

Great! Count me in. 

Thanks for your support.

[LeandreN]

I need it!

[billnye]

I'll be in .

Cherry China is doing some cool stuff.

[TalkingTree]

Will gladly get a set.

[64rky]

oh man, these new mockups!!! I am in for a few sets when you go to GB.

 

[trenzafeeds]

You might want to cut the cherry keys and replace them with something else, considering the fact that there's a buy running right now for them. I'm in for the GH keys though.

Good idea. More colors of the GH keys would be nice.

Strictly speaking, color schemes of Cherry caps in that GB you referred is not the same as those of this IC.
Why not more colors for new Cherries as well as GH keys?

According to CID_CD-Manual_INT_20150906, more colors are not allowed to be used at Cherry Logo.
So the blue, greed and cyan color as legend in the GB is the first time that I see.
Well I don't think the GB will be going well as that color.

[Zapheo]

I would most definitely buy a set.

[switchnollie]

Down for some gh keys

If so, how did GMK render the mockup for Cherry keys using colors not permitted in the manual you referred, and even send it to GB organizer?

The GMK don't even know the Manual and just do it maybe after Cherry say yes.
And Cherry don't know what you wanna do, I guess.

GMK GEEKHACK KEYCAPS?! YEEESSSSSSSS

You could do a GB for the Geek Hack keys though. 

[CPTBadAss]

Would also be great to see a cap with CR as the base and V1 as the legend color. To me those are the classic geekhack colors.

`Tis true 

[LXXXIX]

Following. I'd be interested.

[William_S_Jones]

I'm interested too

[livingspeedbump]

Buying many of these     

[romevi]

Shouldn't "GEEK / HACK" be lower case?
"geek / hack"

 

[livingspeedbump]

Shouldn't "GEEK / HACK" be lower case?
"geek / hack"

 

I think that would look odd with the rest of the GMK sets though.

I also suggested that he run these in colors of recent popular sets, notably Skiidata and Hyperfuse.

One to match the Dolch color pack would be great too!

[ideus]

I'd like to get some of these.

[hashbaz]

These mockups look great, I'm 100% in.

[polentA]

I would definitely join this gb. Count me in!

[WNovizar]

So the pricing finalized yet or not?

I'll be in, even if the price USD 10 each, which "hopefully" lower than that.

[tigersharkdude]

Would be in for some hyperfuse colored caps

[iamtootallforthis]

I would be in for a Magenta on Cyan to go with the GMK Cyan Color pack and a Cyan on Grey to match Dolch!

[LXXXIX]

Hyperfuse and Miami colorway would be nice.

[switchnollie]

I would be in for a Magenta on Cyan to go with the GMK Cyan Color pack and a Cyan on Grey to match Dolch!

Ohh I like that idea, matching some GMK keys that are already out would be cool since they were't available before

[iamtootallforthis]

I would be in for a Magenta on Cyan to go with the GMK Cyan Color pack and a Cyan on Grey to match Dolch!

Yeah I figure by doing that a lot more people would be interested in buying the keys.

[CPTBadAss]

Shouldn't "GEEK / HACK" be lower case?
"geek / hack"

 

I mean if we're going to go that route, might as well be "geek ha ck"

I would be in for a Magenta on Cyan to go with the GMK Cyan Color pack and a Cyan on Grey to match Dolch!

Ohh I like that idea, matching some GMK keys that are already out would be cool since they were't available before

I think that's a great idea. Matching colors for older GMK keysets.

See I told you, I'm only slow sometimes. I has some good ideas.

Maybe we can work on that English next .

[iamtootallforthis]

You're lucky I am not drunk!

[Hyde]

In for the GH key !

[ctm]

Looks cool! I am interested!

[engicoder]

I'm in for GEEK HACK caps as well.

[meow a cat]

Interested, but I'd love to see more colours.

An OG beige/black legend GH key would be awesome, Miami, or magenta/white legend, cyan/white legend?

[64rky]

Added to the GMK Database

[swimmingbird]

I think we need to understand with who the ownership of this legend is going to lay with

Historically I believe that pretty must every set with custom legends has transferred ownership of the legends to Geekhack (on behalf of Halverson) so that people can run them in the future
