GMK Handarbeit didn't meet MOQ so it's going back to IC, this thread will be locked!
GMK Handarbeit+ Keycap set
Hey, Guys!
Here I come back again with GMK Handarbeit+ is one of the most interesting keyset.
This is GMK Handarbeit+ Keycap set GB.
Inspired by G81-3000HBD OG Handarbeit keyboard.
Some years ago, G81-3000HBD OG keyboard with various colorful double shot keycap was found by Ruseupi.
Its housing had engrave as 'Handarbeit', and many users have called this keyboard as just "Handarbeit".
About 2 years ago, I designed this set and finally this set come true!
Just join this GB to get legendary keyset!!

Approved! Will try to help with the pics :D
Edit: Ok did the most improtant pictures, but I still need a picture for the GB pricing.
-
It's time!!! Let's go!
-
In for one German set. I hope we'll hit moq :thumb:
-
I'm in! Let's do this!
-
I keep telling myself no more keysets. Ah well. In for the M kit. I think I'll have to start buying boards just to put keycaps on... LOL
-
Why is the R kit ISO ?
-
Damn that's hideous. With that said, I'll be placing an order soon. :p
-
Why is the R kit ISO ?
the OG board was ISO (on which this is based)
-
I might be in, love handarbeit

Thanks for approval and editing pics. Haha
-
Why is the R kit ISO ?
R kit is replica kit. OG kbd is ISO DE layout and R5 winkeyless.

Nice, its finally happening! :thumb: Placing an R order around Nov.

Thanks for your help to reach the MOQ. In this stage, we have to focus to reach the MOQ.
This set is lovely to me but I don't know how many people like this. It's time to test how many like Handarbeit!
If you have some friends like this set, please introduce this GB. Thanks again.

Sincerely I don't understand the pricing.
I'm the owner of a GMK TA set, and this costs much more than that. No, you can't blame the usd/eur change since I bought it in euro. And a recent bw set from massdrop had a much much much lower price too.
And about the guy that says that the renders are horrible, yes they are really horrible. Please OP, replace them with the actual pictures of the set and you'll have more success :thumb:
This set is cheap in USD. Was expecting higher. GMK has a per color cost. This set has a lot of colors.

The maximum price increase, for an almost arbitrary number of colors is 10/15 eur.
And about the guy that says that the renders are horrible, yes they are really horrible. Please OP, replace them with the actual pictures of the set and you'll have more success :thumb:
Actual pictures were updated.
And Regarding price, it is cheaper than my expectation. Many users have mentioned why GB price is higher than massdrop in other GBs.
1. Maybe you got the TA in massdrop before about 3 years ago and TA GB was reached to very high MOQ. (in my understanding, maybe over 1000)
2. Let me see... for example, in case of US, 150usd@150set. But if MOQ 250, 140usd@250. next MOQ is 500 and if 500??, maybe 130~135. if 1000?, maybe about 120~125usd.
I don't know exactly but may if we will reach to 1000 set, 120usd would be possible. (maybe more cheap....)
Please see the other GBs and compare this exceting massdrop.
It is difficult to compare between all sets because all sets are different as num of keys, color scheme, LED caps or not, new mold or not......not easy but I think that this price is reasonable...
(As I mentioned before, it is cheaper than my expectation)

Hard to compare these prices as back 3 years ago when GMK really operated so differently.
This set also has a bunch of colors. TA just had 2. As for white on black on Massdrop, Massdrop also purchases a lot of units and its business model relies on the "drop" system that is meant to subsidize costs. It's why it has had success and bigger reach commercially.
You should keep in mind also that the main set has quite a lot of compatibility, and prices will increase per key added.

Mein Gott. A dream komm true. I'd totes be all over this if I still used keebs at home, but these days the only computers I use that require a separate keyboard is at work, and Handarbeit would feel widely out of place there. :confused:
-
My 4yrs daughter just told me that she wants a keeb with these caps ;D
-
I don't know. In Europe, buying from zfrontier is cheaper than the European site.
On the european site, VAT ist most certainly already included.

Not when you add shipping and VAT.

Is this including all of the proxies? The difference between the previous count and this count (+1/+0/+1) is smaller than my order (1/1/1), but maybe someone canceled.
I really want this set to make it :(

Just stop this counts. Alot of keyset GBs have been running but we have still 3 weeks. I believe that this legendary keyset will come true....Just join this GB!

Just put an order for 2 sets of M and 1 set of R. This is my end game GMK set and I really hope it can make it. I think a lot of people jump on Massdrop GMK carbon though so I won't hold my breath. The fact that GMK would even consider doing all the custom color is a very positive sign. If not this time, we will definitely see Handarbeit next time around. Finger crossed!
-
Ugh. I'd totally buy if this were 2016 romevi when I had a full home office setup. But I have only a work setup and this wouldn't bode well in my current work environment. :'(

GB is supposed to close today... any word if it will be extended? Or will it just be cancelled?
Thanks

sorry for late reply. Currently I am checking final number.

Long time no update.
Final counts are
- M 32
- R 10
- Modi 12
I think that timing is not good. (end year season.)
Gap between counts and MOQ is very big. So proxies can't absorb extra.
So I decide to move this GB to interesting check again. And I will try to progress this GB again.
Sorry to particaipants.
Today I will request refund to proxies. So if participants paid already, they will receive refund from proxies.
Thanks

This is a sad day, but I’m just as in next time around! Handarbeit+ was my keyset of the year 2018, by a wide margin.

How did this fail :(
