Hi guys,
I hope you have a great thanksgiving and got some awesome stuff with the black friday sales.
I've made a Google form to collect votes for the keys that I'm considering to remove so that we can bring down the pricing of GMK Camping a little bit.
Please vote, I will be really appreciated!

Hi fellow geek hackers,
Hereby I'd like to introduce you GMK Camping.
This was planned after the success run of SA Camping, and we finally have the time to settle this down.
First of all, Camping was created by Monkey six with ideas came from friends among the Camp group. It was meant to be a private project within the group. I posted the “IC” here and received a lot of interests which drove the project to be opened to the public. After Camping was delivered, I received questions from different resources asking if we will run that again in the future. Unfortunately, Camping was meant to be a one-off run to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Camp group. As alternative, I talked to the original creator Monkey six, and we are providing the GMK version of Camping in return of your support during SA Camping.
We hope you like this. :) And please feel free to provide any suggetions.
Specs:
Profile: Cherry 112344
Manufacturer: GMK
Material: ABS double shot
Colors: Custom colors per SA Camping (SP colors: VF/WCK/RBC)
Special thanks to our homie Oblotzky for renders

Set looks very good. Only thing id wish for was a green ISO enter (but if only one - the red is good). Usually not liking novelties but i like every single one here.

We've been preparing this for months. So yeah..this is actually ready to go, we'll make modifications per IC feedback as I'm talking to vendors and GMK for group buy details.
The actual launch date depends on regional vendors and how well the pricing progress goes.

Aw yisss. Great port over for GMK. Glad to see this set return. Heads up all! Custom colors announced, we need a hype train on all fronts for this with a SOLID vendor for support. 250 is the minimum and though we can all say insta buy, we need some strong media blasts for this. Is Chain as hyped up about this as the NA market?
(https://i.imgur.com/tweObnL.png)
Id say the interest is there! This was actually the biggest surprise in a long time and i never expected a GMK version of it.
Post by: amnesia0287 on Sun, 19 November 2017, 18:57:58
In for sure, but planck support in the base set like laser currently has would be even nicer. An r3 and r2 1u novelty would be nice too.
I don't care about planck support. But I'd love if it added R2/R3 novelties for 65% layouts :P. Either way I will buy it though.
Post by: mudcakehoney on Sun, 19 November 2017, 19:03:01

Post by: kingnestea on Mon, 20 November 2017, 02:27:30
Thanks for all your comments/suggestions, I'll surely look into some great suggestions such as a R4 1u End.
About ergo/planck and more novelty keys, the thing is..we are doing this as a vendor GB rather than MD.
Hence we need to take good consideration of pricing and compatibility and of course MOQ.
Once GMK sends me the pricing of this initial design, I'll see what we can do about all your requests. ;D
Currently, my goal is to keep Camping ~$150 GB price. I received some nice suggestions about lowering the price that really worth considering, such as remove one of those 2 arrow novelties.
Let me know what you think about this please.

I do have one question tho, and I realize it might be completely unrealistic, but here goes anyway. I would love two R4 1.5U keys that would go on a HHKB layout board with a Mac. The 1.5 Control and Alt keys are a bit out of place there. Command / Super / Novelties in 1.5U R4 would be great. Looking forward to this set either way!
Post by: crtexcnndrm99 on Mon, 20 November 2017, 05:23:14
Edit: how about removing the green novelty arrows? I would think the maroon accent ones would be more popular, so I’d keep the novelty matrons arrows and just have a set of regular arrows in both colours. Just a suggestion :)

Hi all,Not having ortho support isn't that big of a deal but dropping novelties would suck. The novelties make this kit IMHO. Even If the price was over 150 I feel it would be worth it to keep as many novelties as possible.

You should keep the brown arrow keys since the arrow keys in the base kit are already green.
Yeah definitely, my suggestion was to possibly have both those green arrows and also brown arrow keys in the base kit that aren’t novelty.

Yeah seems like most GMK kits are expensive these days with the Euro being strong compared to 2-3 years ago. At least it's down from early this year.

Another suggestion would be to replace those 8, with just regular maroon arrows as well.
Is both 6u (either one or both) space-bars needed? Especially since you can get those in the space-bar addon kit. Not sure how many actually use those.
So:
-remove 8 novelty arrow
-possible add maroon regular arrow cluster
-remove 6u spacebar(s) since 6u is available in spacebar-kit.
Post by: MeloDet on Tue, 21 November 2017, 11:58:35
My suggestion would to remove all 8 novelty arrow keys. Yes, they are really really nice, but i would much rather have the different novelties, and the arrows with 4 (?) new molds should detract quite a decent bit from the price i suppose.

Agree with all the above. If people really want the arrow novelties I would settle on one colour at most. And yeah I'd pick one 6u spacebar at most as well, not sure which is more commonly used though.

Obviously I haven’t seen the pricing and I’m not sure if this has been said before, but why not just split the base kit into base + novelties and add some extra maroon accents to the base kit, like enter, escape, or arrows? I feel like that’s more in line with the status quo for GMK sets coming out lately anyway. Love the novelties though, please don’t change them, except maybe only doing one arrow color!
Problem with splitting novelties is they might not fire. MOQ is high, and the camping novelties is such an integral part of the keyset.

I think we should keep at least one color of the arrows, this is something special from Camping, Camping would be incomplete without those
spliting the novelty is not an option imo. Spliting kits won't help much for the total cost, may even increase it due to MOQ, this is unfair for those who will buy both base and novelty kit.
For the record, according to the pricing I got today, we are looking at $170-180 GB price depends on freight. This is for the kit design in my OP without that 6u spacebar.
I think I'm gonna remove the green arrow novelties and put some spacebars in the spacebar kit, and see if we can get it down to $150-160.
HHKB will stay, no worries.

I hope I don't get flogged for this but I think cream and maroon spacebars make up for a better kit than cream and green bars :-X Green bars with the green modifiers just look too... green
There are definitely a couple of novelties that I could live without (particularly the fish), but I imagine we'd need to do a poll or something and that's assuming OP is even ok with it.
I think that the set has two things that need to be addressed... It's very green. I think that maroon works as a wonderful accent, but we're not getting enough of it. Secondly, I think that we could certainly leave out a few 'novelites'. Specifically, I don't see the need for two sets of those arrow keys, and, seeing as the set is already green enough, the maroon ones are the better alternative.
I think this set needs a bit more thought in that regard, and a little less C-c C-v. That being said, I'm a big fan of where it's heading.

Besides this, removing the R3 ctrl sounds doable to me. A quick question to HHKB users tho, do you really need a R3 ctrl?
tbh, I don't think I wanna sacrifice any individual novelty key, neither does Monkey six.
I guess we need to start a poll...if I figure out how to start one.. ;D

Would it be possible to add a 2u shift for DZ60/XD60/Manila compatibility? GMK appears to have the molds for it now so hopefully it's not too out of the question.
Other than that, it looks great! Looking forward to the buy!
This sounds quite doable to me, since I own 2 XD60 boards and it's quite popular in China as well. Will add that in the next revision.

Removal suggestions:
LED window caps lock and LED stepped caps lock
R3 stepped control - keep the standard R3 control
four long green space bars - bring the white space bars into the spacebars kit
green arrow novelty keys - keep the maroon
Any possibility for an R4 1u Hack key? The mould for it already exists, so there shouldn't be any significant costs to have it produced.

Please don‘t take the fish! Love this one!

The windowed keys are there because a member of the camp team likes them, and will not be removed. I was talking to KNT about it, since I also like windowed keys.
I suspect the 6u spacebars will be added to the spacebar kit, and one of the arrow sets will be removed.
If my math is right, that should be enough to bring it to $150.

Edit: IDC about stepped R3 control. That can go for all I care. But standard R3 ctrl is a must.

Any chance we can get the red space bars instead of green ones? Wouldn't the idea of the additional space bar kits is to have alternatives color different than the mods? Which in this case is green?
This is what I'm thinking of
Post by: ctrl on Wed, 22 November 2017, 01:32:45
Keep the LED windowed keys.
Keep the maroon novelty arrows.
Drop the stepped Control key.
Drop the green novelty arrows.
Add 2 x R4 1.5u Meta keys or novelty keys? This would add HHKB-style support with the outer bottom row keys being 1u Alt keys. It's something I found lacking in the original keyset.
Just my two cents.

+1 on this. With the addition of moving the 6U spacebars to the spacebars kits.

…Removing multiples of keys with custom novelties on them won't significantly lower the price of the set.
Both color ways of novelty arrows would be preferred… they are a part of this set that stand out. One of my biggest issues with GMK is the general lack of options in design. I'm more or less done buying GMK unless these kinds of options are available. Many of the default GMK legends are not well designed, a lot of sloppy choices were made way back—the draw and appeal to me is the nostalgia—but I'd like to see more variety and have options long-term. A few bucks more isn't an issue if that's the case. We're already spending a good chunk of change here… I need reasons to choose this over so many other things out there.

My only concern is that the muted green ends up being more saturated than in those nice renders. This has happened before e.g. gmk plum (https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_comment%2FlocIutTNQCiqz5TinmGQ_gmkplum.jpg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=max&w=1300&h=787&dpr=2&q=40) and gmk nautilus (https://i.imgur.com/Ej00yxw.jpg). I would be all over this set if it would be 100% certain that end product would look exactly like those renders.

Have you tried looking at these through an IPS display* :O. I thought Plum came out perfectly. There's only a handful of photos that perfectly capture the colors. It's probably the most difficult set to photograph (tbf almost all keysets that have non-muted colors are hard to photograph, haha).
Nautilus concerns me though cos the yellow from the renders is brighter than the yellow in Zambumon's pictures. But eh, it could just be the filters he added to his instagram photos.
*It won't be 100% faithful to whatever was rendered but it'll be close enough.
**I didn't buy either of the GMK sets you mentioned and I am very, very sad
Edit: The SA Camping photos here have greens that are more saturated than the renders. I get what you mean :). It suddenly looks a bit tacky if the greens aren't muted

Just pick them up on mechmarket. Plum is cheap and nautilus should be plenty available in a few weeks.

They literally always end up more saturated. It's a symptom of computer monitors. GMK renders are worse than others, but you shouldn't count on them being exact to the renders.
At least in my experience.

I would really like both colors of arrows even if I have to buy the other arrows as a kit lol. But I do think green makes more sense for general use, it fits more readily with 65/75%. I personally do like the maroon though.
The real cost of the arrows is from the molds anyway, it seems like a waste to spend the money for the molds and then only use them once.
I also wouldn't mind 1.5 novelties, could care less about meta keys though.

Hi guys,
I hope you have a great thanksgiving and got some awesome stuff with the black friday sales.
I've made a Google form to collect votes for the keys that I'm considering to remove so that we can bring down the pricing of GMK Camping a little bit.
Please vote, I will be really appreciated!

- remove R4 pipe (ISO)
- remove either green or maroon novelty arrows (poll people for this)
- change cardinal direction (text) or arrow icon only (it's too cluttered to have both, from my experience with SA Camping)
- keep both regular and stepped R3 Control
- move 6u spacebars to spacebar kit
- reduce number of R1 1u novelties
- add R4 1u End key

- Drop homing scoops and keep the bars
- ditch the alpha colored F5-F8
- drop R3 control keys since they don't functionally contribute to the kit, only aesthetically
- change the R3 iso \| key to have the ~# as main legends since that seems to be what most iso layouts have there
- keep the R4 \| key since that's crucial for physical iso support, otherwise iso users are missing a key there
- move 6u spacebars to the spacebar kit
- maybe add a R4 End, but I don't see that as crucial since there's plenty of R4 1u keys to go there
- consider slimming down the unique novelty designs, not the campfire though since I dig that

The maroon arrows really doesn't look good on 65/75% keyboards.
Or no novelty arrows at all, so that it can be cheaper.
But as you've said, these novelty arrows are part of what make Camping “Camping”.
As much as you don't want to do it, I still think a separate novelty set would be the best option.
And if possible, please consider changing at least 2 novelty keys from R1 to R2 and R3.
Thanks for making GMK Camping happen!

I would really really prefer to keep the dished keys, so much better than barred. For my OCD I'd like to keep the 1u green ~. Creamy white F5-F8 would be nice to have but not a dealbreaker for me. I also have a Ducky Pocket so the 1u 00 would be nice but a novelty would replace fine. I'm ok with rest of changes. I'm indifferent on the watster. I like the cap but don't see it fitting in line with rest of novelties. x
Would it be possible to add back at least a 6.25 green spacebar?
edit: I'm also ok with paying the $180 or whatever it would be to have all keys included.

I too would like green spacebars, but I care about 7u more... But I would ideally like both spacebars sold in some sort of kit.
Regardless, I WILL NOT buy any set with no scoops and only bars. I can't deal with bars and won't buy anything where that is the only option. That is 100% a deal breaker for me. A lot of keys change how a board looks, but those change how a board feels. I literally never use bars as I hate them and how they feel. If that specific change is kept I'm out.

Removing deep dished F,J and adding watster was not a good choice, man. :(Watster really doesn't fit in there, he looks really out of place. I'd personally suggest considering holding another poll on whether we should or shouldn't keep watster and a poll on which of the removed key(s) we want back the most. I kinda wish I said I'd pay the whole $180 for the set now.

Would still greatly appreciate an R4 1u Hack key added to the base kit.
Post by: LightningXI on Mon, 27 November 2017, 06:07:27
26/11/2017 Rev. 2:
Please see OP for kit renders
Removed:
- R1 1u creamy white F5-F8
- R1 1u green ~`
- R2 1.5u green |\
- R3 1.75u stepped Control, regular caps lock(windowed)
- R3 1u dished F, J, 5
- R4 1u 00
- 6u Spacebars
Added:
- R4 1u End
- R1 1u Green watster novelty key
- R4 2u shift
Changed:
- R3 1u iso key changed to primary legend
- Green spacebars in the spacebar kit changed to maroon
Pls tell me what you think :)
Personally I'm not very happy about the removal of:
- the alpha colored F5-F8 as a big 75% layout user,
- stepped Control (not as big of a deal)
- deep dish homing FJ5 (huge deal since I love scoops)
The Watster is a meme, and as was mentioned, it's not a good fit for the theme of the keyset.

$165+domestic shipping cost for the base kit will be pretty much doable with this revision, of course I need to discuss this with regional vendors.
for the spacebar kit, we are looking at $30-ish at 250MOQ.
I'll add those scooped keys back in the next revision.
About the watster novelty, switch mod said something like he will stock this set if that key is added.
I thought that would help with MOQ and since tooling is already paid, it's just a regular 1u key.
That's the reason why I have added that key in revision 2.
I'll confirm this with switch mod and see if this is doable. If he's helping with MOQ.
I don't think it'd be so bad to have just 1 key added.
And for those who are willing to pay premium to have all keys that's been removed.
I understand that, I'd pay $200 to have them as well, but from the perspective of a GB runner.
I need to think about the majority and I can't risk MOQ for some keys that won't actually impact compatibility. I hope you understand this.

Why not add a transparent red campfire key instead of watster? :) Ofc I am assuming GMK would use the same mold but transparent plastic this time
I'm not sure if it's possible for GMK to produce those. I'll ask in my next mail.

Again, any chance to move any of the R1 novelties like the white campfire or another to R2 in the next revision? Would be nice if you could provide your thoughts on this instead of remaining silent with me. I am requesting this because there's already a good number of R1 novelties for use, moving any to R2 will provide a more efficient spread for small compact layout users.
I don't think I would like to move any novelty key to R2, the novelty keys are minimized tbh.
This is what I'm planning to do with those novelty keys, put 4 green novelties on the F row for f5-f8, 3 different camp fire novelties on the function keys.
let me know if anyone else thinks some R2 novelties would be nice.
I don't think adding some will be doable since the package is already pretty huge.
Post by: lithopedion on Mon, 27 November 2017, 07:46:48
R4 2u shift is mainly for minila or XD64. That's very tempting. However you removed R1 1u green ~` and R2 1.5u green |\, which are very important for 60% keyboards IMO. These two keys costs little. Please do keep them!
As for the watster novelty, it has nothing to do with Camping! But if it helps with MOQ, Well I can always give it to some friend who want it anyway.
Just please add back R1 1u green ~` and R2 1.5u green |\
A 3 days voting might not be that accurate.
BTW I'm one of those who think some R2 novelties would be really nice. But I understand it's not a major demand.

One R2 novelty is sufficient and enough, though two or three would be great; but the request is for one. It doesn't need to be a new novelty, a duplicate of any of the ones that exist is ok.

Not sure how this is important as the keys already exist; it is mostly a colour symmetry OCD than an important matter since they're not modifiers.

I have like 5 60% boards, and I never put a modifier colored |\ on them, but I can understand ppl do that.
It's just I wanna minimize aesthetics and make room for compatibility.

Yes, a green ~ is more likely to be used on a 68-key layout(top right corner), and it surely can be replaced by a green novelty.
Please add green |\ back at least.

Yeah but we added the watster... wat?? Why? It literally has nothing to do with SA Camping. If we're being that suggestible, why don't we run a matching green and red boobycap gb. We could call it boobycamp....

Read the entire thread before you comment. The watster was added cause one of the stores said they would stock sets if it was included. The cost of 1 key is negligible and is totally worth it to sell a bunch of extra sets and help moq.

I have indeed read the thread. But if you look at the overwhelming cries of the commenters, few people actually want it here. And, more importantly, useful keys are getting cut in favor novelties. Personally, I'm largely indifferent towards it, but I can't help but seeing how ridiculous it is. I vote function over form ... but I just bought a Gaijin laser set so I really shouldn't talk. :wat:
Edit: with the popularity of SA Camping, I doubt we really need the watster for this set to be picked up be a distributor anyway.

You understand you are literally getting worked up over like $2 right?
You don’t want a watster we get it. Most people are indifferent. Some like myself would love to get one. For $2 and the added benefit of a distributor, this seems simple to me.

I'm not sure if it's possible for GMK to produce those. I'll ask in my next mail.
If GMK can't make it, then can we have a simple artisan instead? Granted Monkey Six and Kingnestea allow for such a thing. People who opted in GMK Camping are the only ones allowed to have a chance at purchasing such a thing. Newbie me is wary of the logistic/shipping nightmare tho.

The new renders are looking amazing, but I've noticed that the star, moon, and fish R1 novelties are in maroon in the 96 key render whereas in the kit render it's green, are these novelties actually gonna change to maroon or are they going to be green like in the current kit render?
Green, I didn't notice that, those 2 on the Kira are early renders, thesiscamper is pretty busy lately. I think I'm not gonna bug him to remake those.
for those who are wondering why we've changed the novelty keys to green, different from SA Camping, it was MonkeySix's idea and I do agree with him.
imo, Cherry profile is more classic looking and should not have so much accents as SA keysets do.
btw, although those renders from thesiscamper are super awesome, I do think the renders from Oblotzky are more accurate in terms of color.

Added more renders from our homie thesiscamper :D :D
GMK confirmed they can produce that translucent novelty key as SP made for SA Camping.

Is there any way we can see a render on a grey compact 1800 board?..... :)

Would a standard red text return key be possible for both the numpad and the main return?
I like the idea of a maroon return key for numpad, not so sure about the regular return since we already have a maroon novelty key for that.
Shall we change the numpad return key to maroon? I don't really wanna add one because I really don't wanna bump up the pricing anymore.
In the meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the quote for revision 4. Christoph has been busy I guess. I will send him a reminder if I don't hear from him by the end of today.

I didn't put much thought into the numpad area since I'm on a 60% board. But if I do end up getting a full board or a separate numpad, I'd like to have a maroon enter key instead of green to balance out the color scheme :)

If only one numpad, please keep it green. Accent keys are fine, but usually they are offered as extras. Having a totally green + white set and then a maroon enter will make it look quite inconsistent.
On seperate numpads, it will look quite weird with one maroon key.

I wouldn’t want to replace the standard green return key on the numpad. Just wanted to see if an additional red numpad can be offered.
I personally like the look of the different colour return key even on separate numpads.
However if it drives the price up too much, don’t worry about it. Was just throwing it out there to see if others felt the same.

I like the idea of a maroon return for the numpad, but I definitely wouldn't want to remove the green one to add it. I'm still on the fence with whether I'll use the maroon accents at all; I'd rather not be forced to.

Hmm if it really is only $1-2 for the extra key. Would it be the same cost to add an additional maroon main modifier enter key with the text “enter”
I know we already have the mountain enter key but presumably for a few dollars more it would give more options for people that might want a more simplistic look as well.
That’s my 2 cents anyways.

Seriously, please don't remove the green numpad return. I get that you don't want the price going up, but that forces anyone with a numpad to use the maroon accents. If you're going to do that you might as well remove the green arrows, remove the green novelty return, and make the regular return maroon too.

Splitting into kits with GMK will significantly increase the total price because they have a fully automated production line.
This is also the reason why the most GMK sets are all-in-one.
For ppl located in the US:
Kono store by input club has already put up a temporary page, you can join the waitlist there.

I really want to join this, but the price is pretty steep. With shipping to Canada it will be close to $200. A bit hard to swallow compared to recent GMK sets (I know, this won’t have Massdrop volume). Decisions, decisions.
Not just volume, Camping has a huge pack of novelty keys.
All pricing I've been estimating so far is based on 250 MOQ, it won't be much cheaper if this is gonna be on MD as starting point, just we have bigger chance to unlocker higher MOQ tiers.

I wish I could have the chance to join this project.I think the kit is moreorless finalized now, but the group buy hasn't started yet so you should be able to join the group buy relatively soon when it happens. I don' lt know if there will be a Taiwanese proxy though.

Proxies are listed as below:
US: Kono store by input club
EU: mykeyboards.eu
Asia/Taobao: KP and zfrontier
Korea: Cocobrais

Based on the watster GB, I think 2 keys would only be like $5. Maybe do both colors since once the legends are done it shouldn't be so expensive which would be around $10 a kit.
I guess probably would still need a lot of people who would buy more than 1 set to actually hit moq, unless camping sells REALLY well.

I wonder if there would be enough people interested to run a separate GB kit with just a R2 and R3 novelty to allow them to be used as the right strip on 65/75% boards.

I think once the tooling cost for novelty keys is paid. Running a set novelty keys with different rows should be considered as normal keys starting from 150 MOQ or even 100 MOQ.
Also for custom colors, the spacebar kit is starting from a normal MOQ tier rather than custom color MOQ tier.
you can start collecting interest, I'll be more than happy to approve the use of those toolings for the Camping novelty keys. :)

Do the legend plates work for other profiles? I wasn't sure if I would need new legend plates for the other rows or if they could reuse them as that would drop the price a decent bit i'd think. If it was just 100moq, that wouldn't be that bad. Just need like 20-30 ppl who would spend like $25. I guess it really depends how well GMK Camping sells overall.
Either way, I can totally do an IC if people are interested. I wanna run a full GMK set myself eventually, so a tiny novelty kit shouldn't be too bad.
Also, looking at the kit again, I think if it was gonna be maroon, I'd also need to add another R4 novelty. I'll have to play around with some options and see what works best.

I think Camping will do well, as we have proxies cover all around the world, 350 ppl are on the kono watchlist alone.
The tooling should be the same for novelty keys with different row profile.

Will there be a price drop for higher moq?
On the store page it states that if enough people join it will drop $10 for the base set and $5 for the spacebars. They don't specify how many sets it takes though...
