The Q@ is a nice touch; but, being a non standard layout user this does not fit my needs, good luck with the set, its pricing is not bad for a basic coverage set.

OMG :rolleyes:
May I suggest to expand greatly your public by adding a very small and simple addon, which could include F, J and 5 with homing bare, plus ISO keys?
I'm sure that it would amount to only $5. I would be happy to buy more than one ;D
1800 support would be very nice, but I don't know how many keys are required.

I believe Q@ is a standard legend on German ISO layouts.

How does it differ from a normal Q key? and why is it modifier coloured?

How does it differ from a normal Q key? and why is it modifier coloured?
On a German ISO keyboard, pressing AltGr+Q will produce @. It differs from a normal Q key in that it has a @ sign on it :p
I don't believe there's any other differences apart from that, and probably the only reason it was included in this set is for the novelty value (and the extra dash of colour, obviously). I personally quite like it, but it's not strictly necessary for the sake of the set, it's GB runner's discretion.
As for the additional keys, since this set is being run by the Chinese MK community, I'm not sure how feasible it is for the GB runner to add the extra keys, since the majority of the orders will probably come from the Chinese side of the GB, adding keys would basically make everyone else subsidise the small subset of people who wants 1800 coverage. I don't know how popular the 1800 layout is in China, probably not that common since a lot of Chinese buys only caters to full/TKL with allowances for difference bottom row configs.
This GB appears to be just a window for a Chinese buy, so it did not get proper consulting here, that is why it is mostly an standard set.

I believe this is correct. This seems to be the international proxy of the currently running zFrontier GMK Dolch buy

So, it is just a take it or leave it thing, no conversation going on.
Are there nubs on the F,J and 5 key?
What separates this from last years Dolch set?Not much apart from that it's going to happen whatsoever.
I will join if some of the improvements people have been suggesting are implemented.

That's what I thought :-) but I think that it would be quite simple for them - under each aspect - to add some keys in an addon.

That depends on how popular non-standard form factors are valued in the Chinese market, and frankly I'm not so convinced.
I want to buy a set of GMK Dolch. I'll wait until something shows up on Massdrop or another webstore.
Don't want to get burned by another failed group buy.
Which layouts are standard in the chinese market, anyway? Do they use BAE?

yeah, i just collect orders from GH. The price and lay-out have been decided.
This gb will not extend GB period to meet MOQ, if they below 150 , the price is 115$dollar.

Thanks shower_king for running the proxy. Could you update us on the current MOQ numbers? Does the 150 set limit include the Chinese orders as well or do international order form their own MOQ?

Tell that to my $150 that the ex-geekhack mod IvanIvanovich scammed from the PBT dark groupbuy (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71995.0).
GMK keycaps would be shipped to China by DHL and shipped to US.The real shipment fee is around 15$ or 10$.
Due to my fault ,i forget to change the price.
After my discussion with zfrontier, they will invoice participants in US in this GB with 5$ not 15$.

Are you doing the fulfillment to USA?
You may want to find a USA proxy to help you handle shipment to that, and hopefully do a split shipment from GMK to USA and China. Might make things easier IMO.
PM me if you need help. If it's just reshipment, I don't mind lending a hand for this.

So if go in on this set I would essentially just need to locate a down page button in the correct profile and color to support my 68% board, right?

paid. been wanting a dolch set for a while and this is way cheaper than secondhand market anywaythanks for your interest and fast pay
kinda sucks there's no R3 control to replace caps lock though, that's a fairly popular layout option
sent an email to order. Hope it meets MOQ
just sent you PM, shower_king. Although there is no 1u 0, i'm still in :'(
This set is sadly pretty shy of extras, I haven't asked the details but, I'm 90% sure Originative will continue it's Dolch runs
Still, I would join this GB If I had a paypal, I want the 1u Fn, I'm curious about the Q@, and I want the cyan Esc/Enter, even though I also suspect/heard we will see some GMK Esc/Enter packs real soon
Could you give us an update on MOQ? Thanks!please look the OP,thank you.
I have wanted this set for the longest time. The only thing that is missing for me is having nubs on F and J.Would the F and J key from Originative match colors exactly? https://www.originativeco.com/products/dolch-f-j
I would think it would match since its both GMK but I just want to make sure it does match 100%

So this is my first GB and buying GMK keycaps all together. How are these going to be shipped? Are they going to be in bags or in the nice organized trays? Apologies for the newbie questions.They will be sorted by GMK and shipped to China using DHL by air in bags. Then the zfrontier will wrap them with foam bubble in new box designed by zfroniter to avoid scratches.
thank you for everyone's interest and attentiondid you receive my pm regarding the adding of 1 more set :(

1, about the lay-out , i appreciate your reasonable request. however the is the final one since we want to make this in a lower price and have decided the schedual with GMK to make this fast before huge successful GMK carbon production

it's been 2 weeks from the latest update, is there any update about the payment confirmation to GMK?
zfrontier has paid for this two days ago.
I will upload the email of payment.
now waiting for payment confirmation email from GMK
i think that would need about 2-3 days.
i will upload the email as well .Show Image(http://i2.buimg.com/567571/9868284e8fe4340e.png)
zfrontier used telegraphic transfer to pay to GMK. This may be need some time for GMK to receive them.
I also upload the payment confirmation email from GMK soon.
Is there an ISO addon for this set? Anywhere?sorry for that. this is a quick GB and have scheduled the production date with GMK. Thus ,no iso add-on.
Are there extras? Is there a taobao link?PMed you. sorry for no taobao link
So since this is my first group but (and super stoked btw) is there any kind of warranty if the key caps come damaged at all? I have my concerns since they're being shipped in bags.These keycaps will be shipped to zfrontier in China. They will scrupulously check the keycaps. If there are damaged keycaps ,they will be replaced using backup sets. and then zfrontier will re-pack them with bubble wrap and box to avoid scratches and shipped to the participants.
Awesome thank you for the fast reply and thank you for letting me jump in late.

Hi Shower_king,
I've sent a couple of PMs here but haven't gotten a response from you yet. The order hasn't shown up yet, and I'm still waiting on a tracking number, would love an update if you could please provide it.
