GMK white/dark grey US/GB full set + 'Gamer' add-on {Closed}

[bazemk1979]

Ivan this proposal looks much better for the majority of the people that will order the sets, speaking of GB ISO and ANSI and ISO US. That's probably 80% of the people from the GB, and yes no hurt feelings either for the majority of the orders.

There is no doubt in my mind that the 2 language packs wont make 400 MOQ... but, is it thats why you have offered the GENERIC pack? just in case the language pack don't make it they can have this pack to fill in with blanks, have just numbers for the number row and not secondary legend if they don't need them correct?

One more question, the keys P1-P5 are they in the pack to be used for people that have the 60% board with the F1-F12 row? like the Choco, Vortex had one board same layout too, LZ SE,... correct?

LOL and whats up with the arrows for WASD....

[IvanIvanovich]

Generic is intended for those that have no complete language set representation here, like Czech, Slovak, Swiss, Italian, Hungarian, Southern Slavic, etc.. P1-5 keys can be used as one wishes, used on 75%, macro key replacements, or on 122+ key. Depending on pricing the GENERIC pack may also be a viable option for a 75% NAV kit. WASD/ESDF arrows... for gaming duh.

[GeeNDL82]

thank you for working on new package. I am waiting new price on it

[esoomenona]

Well, whichever way you go with this, just change my order for one of everything.

[IvanIvanovich]

Cool esoomenona, I will let GMK know you want one of EVERYTHING. I hope you have a million dollars ready. )

Probably blinded by the shine of all of this, but I don't see any prices for the new options ... ?

I will have pricing on these shortly.

soon!

[IvanIvanovich]

I only just submitted the set revisions to GMK this morning (afternoon/evening in Germany), hopefully they will get back to me tomorrow.

[longweight]

Should I hold off for the new prices / kits before ordering?

[IvanIvanovich]

Final kit options are up. If you are unsure where your spending limits are might as well wait for pricing to be posted to be sure.

[longweight]

Is the payment date still accurate?

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes, I want to try and keep to the end dates.

[longweight]

Ah ok, that counts me out then!


Good luck

[Halvar]

Thanks, I hadn't seen that.


I'm very happy about the mod and nav kits and will certainly be in one or two for them.

About the alphas -- I'll try to buy the necessary kits for a full German set, but I will say from the beginning that I'll only commit to buying a base set under the condition that "my" language set hits MOQ. I'm not in this for another "English" set that I don't need and that we only have because of the advice of some people in this thread who will probably not be buying it anyway. Maybe there should be a possibility to express this kind of conditional commitment in the order form (like the commitment to buy when a certain price tier is met on Massdrop), so that the real numbers for the base set become clearer from the beginning on.

[damorgue]

A) To everyone stating over and over again that finding similar caps is easy: NOPE. Some of us haven't found any over the past years and haven't even heard rumors of anyone else finding them. You keep thinking solely of ansi there.

B) I think people are forgetting that GMK most likely sets the MOQ to get the total monetary value up to a certain level for it to be worth the effort to them. More keycaps in total means a bigger order, more money and likely a greater chance that MOQ might be negotiated a bit lower or at the very least not increased. If the kits get too small, the total amount GMK gets paid will be lower and they may be inclined to increase the MOQ to compensate. That is why I would encourage lots of caps rather than trimming. This means that there are more reasons to keep the less popular kits other than the number of people who might buy the primary kits because of the smaller ones.

C) Poor Norwegians who get letters in the numpad and in the number row

[longweight]

Ok screw it, I am going to cancel other buys to get this set


Will extra spacebars be an option?

[Tarzan]

Ordered.

(Re-ordered, actually, but that's just me being pedantic.)

[SpAmRaY]

Ordered.

(Re-ordered, actually, but that's just me being pedantic.)

Oh yeah I just read the OP....doh, will reorder soon!!

[longweight]

I'm thinking that this will be a base set to keep on my board for a long time so I am going to try and get two sets except for the language packs unless they are quite cheap or struggling to reach MOQ.

[IvanIvanovich]

Other languages are COOL! Come on guys! Maybe I am just a weirdo, but I have German, Swiss, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian keysets. I have Japanese and Polish G80 models on their way. I want to add every other thing that I don't have already, and every thing I do have in colorways I don't!
Cherry made doubleshots in dozen languages for decades, in the thousands (tens of) I imagine. Yet, people still assume there are not enough buyers to make 400 and expect it to fail, giving up before making an effort. Maybe I am too optimistic to find the people that would want the high quality stuff in the woodwork... but I still keep getting requests from the last GMK buy from those that missed it, especially the ISO keys. I think that says something.

[longweight]

But cool costs money!

[SpAmRaY]

I'll wait to see final pricing in case it entices me to order more than one set

[GeeNDL82]

it should be better if this set have windowed scroll lock

[quochung1989]

I can't find price, Ivan (

[Elrick]

Placed 2 of everything in this new ORDER - except the Languages division.

Thank you Ivan, looking good thus far  .

[pmh1410]

interest but waiting your pricing update.

[___q]

Reordered -- didn't place an order for the language kits, but I will add them to my order if the price isn't excessive, since I want them to make moq.

[bueller]

Re-ordered, you're the man Ivan. Keep us posted on MOQ for the language kits, if they're struggling I may order one to try and help them through.

[tlt]

Great! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the German/Nordic kit to make MOQ. If I had the money I just order them all myself.

[korrelate]

Re-ordered. I really tried to avoid buying the generic pack this time around but the appeal of two-tone Fkeys was too great to resist.

Ooohhhh Goody, Goody, Goody *Wringing Hands* Muuuaahh-ah-ah-ah-ah.

[GeorgeK]

Any idea what shipping costs will be to the UK?

[IvanIvanovich]

I need to pull equivalent caps and take weights so you can calculate postage estimate on USPS. I will get that done so it can be up with the pricing as soon as I have it.

[GeorgeK]

Cheers mate - I'm thinking of running a mini buy for chaps in the UK (from BT) to combine and save on postage & knowing that would be really helpful to decide if we go ahead / if it'd be worth it.

George

[bueller]

Yeah I'll be seeing if I can get some people from the Australian Overclockers forum on board as well.

[tadbitnerdy]

Ordered!  Thanks again for bringing another great GMK buy to Geekhack!

[Smeagol_RP]

I can't find price, Ivan (

[2] 

[xavierblak]

I can't find price, Ivan (

He resubmitted the changed layouts to gmk. We're waiting for them to get back to us with a price.

[GeorgeK]

Are the spacebars with GENERIC black?  If so, is that the only way to get them?  Not that I think I'd want them but it's worth an ask.

[Binge]

ORDERED LIKE A BOSS

[longweight]

I would definitely be up for some extra spacebars if possible.

[Caaaarrrt]

Not sure if this is a silly request or not; would it be possible at all to add in, or have as an extra, a long right shift in the alpha colours since they are the same colours as dolch mods, in order to complete an original dolch set on a standard 1.5x mods layout keyboard?

I would also be up for extra spacebars if possible.

[IvanIvanovich]

We are done making changes of any kind. Perhaps some day in the future, we will run that colors white/dark grey modifier pack... but it's not now.

[Caaaarrrt]

Yeah, fair enough, just thought I'd ask.

I really appreciate all of the work you've put in to this great group buy, will definitely be submitting an order.

[longweight]

Any news from GMK lysol? I want to work out what I can afford!


Also any comment on extra space bars?

[TaNaKa$_]

Yes, I agree with that. When the prices  per set are lower I plan to order more then one.

[Broadmonkey]

Also any comment on extra space bars?

We are done making changes of any kind...

[GeorgeK]

I think the 'we are done making changes' was more aimed at the suggestion of adding a shift in the other colour...  Although I'm not 100% about that...

[quochung1989]

Ivan, i think that you should split numpad invidual because there are more people only use TKL keyboard. So they only take less money to join GB. If that happen, more people response

No, it's a small increase in price to make sure that the kits meet MOQ.
