Background Story
Blastoise! Hydro Pump!
GMK Hydro has been a little side project assembled by the Squad
(https://66.media.tumblr.com/339845c43129fbb64e03cdceaa5878af/tumblr_oase91CmwL1vxdttuo1_500.png).
This set was pumped together with the heart of a Blastoise. The colors were chosen for a splash of blue, with the sleekness of Blastoise's hydro cannons. Note, this is not a Blastoise themed set.
Note, it's not using Blastoise's colorway (brown, etc).
Inspirations
Inspired by Carbon, created by T0mb3ry. I decided to use the way that the Carbon colorway was hinted, and change the colors around. Thanks T0m for making Carbon! I can't wait for it to drop.
And of course, our main homie, Blastoise.
(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/pokemon/images/c/c9/Blue_Blastoise_Hydro_Pump_PO.png/revision/latest?cb=20151010081450)
Colors & Renders (updated Aug 19)
GR1 = Alpha Keycaps
V4 = Alpha Legends
N5 = Mod Legends
N9 = Mod Keycaps
GR1 = White Legends
N5 = Blue Mod Keycaps
More
After going back and forth, I have decided to make all blue keycaps (n5) use the n9 (dark gray) legend. The novelties are what tie this keyset together imo and I don't think that gr1 will work well with the novelties. The gmk render will be updated to match the renders. (Aug 24 9:50pm pst)

Updated News about novelties: After creating the novelties and posting them, I started searching IP law and such things such as "fan art". I will not be moving forward with these current novelties and will be remaking them to exclude explicit images of squirtle, etc. I'm as sad as you about this :(
UPDATED NOVELTIES: Aug 7 2016
These will be for FUNCTION ROW, in R1. Will have to double up & ask GMK if this is possible (copyright + limitations of doubleshot molds).

- Can I order 1 base + 2 novelty? Yes.
- I want to organize a GB for my country / local mech community. I have a GB setup for China destination so you get it without mailing issues.

- Will there be a R2? Yes. Possibly GMK, but possibly SP DSA.
- When will R2 be? When I see a consistent unsatisfactory after market value.

Really like this, basically GMK Eve and Eve is low key one of my favorite colorways. I'd love to see beige mods as an option and also white text on blue instead of black.
That white text on blue does sound like an amazing idea. I guess I'll have to play with renders to see how it looks like!
decisions, decisions!

Using CR (black), CP (white) and V4 (blue). All keys here are identical to GMK Hyperfuse, the best in my opinion.

Dont really like the blue f-row tho, if you could include white or grey extras as carbon did, it would be awsome.
Btw, you can make a "similar" set on uniqey designer, so, yay, free render. Well, more or less.

Add R5. I love that row.
Maybe a 6u space bar? I think GMK makes them now.
How firm is the color choice? I've always preferred N5 over V4, but not sure how that would look with colors for the mod caps; Electric Bluegaloo is great, so maybe you want to keep it different.
How would the alpha legends look with black instead of blue?

I remember EVE was one of the first keycap sets I really lusted after. Stopped wanting it after I lost interest in DSA, but that color combo is still my fave. So glad to see it being worked on as a possible GMK set.

I mean no offense,but at first glance,I think its just a combination of GMK Olivetti and GMK Electric Bluegaloo Mod Set. :p :p
I know there're some differences,but I am afraid thats not enough to appeal to enough people to make this happen.
Good luck,man.

EB is N5; this uses V4 for the mods. But yeah, I'm still not sure about the alpha legend color.
Post by: jchan94 on Fri, 05 August 2016, 11:42:03
Interested! And I agree with crovax3000, a blue space bar could be a nice addition.
A blue spacebar was actually added to this set and I'm considering adding it to the universal kit.
Issued with that are that it costs a lot more to add the two spacebars.

I'll look at the keys included I'm this versus the set I proposed.
Mind linking a KLE so I can compare and move things around?
The kit I put together was based off carbon and existing gmk full sets I looked at.
wauuu looks awesome!
Ty!
Looks pretty nice :D

Oh what? Where is this? I initially had the Grey function keys, so we'll see what it ends at. I don't want to add too many keys as that just adds cost and I liked the splash :)
A blue spacebar would look nice.
Will be included if we do this!
Original design looks like a blue version of hyperfuse.

Hmm interesting. I don't think so at all. The colors are very much different.
I really do like the look of it, but I think you're missing out on not using the brown of his turtle shell. I think it'd look very nice as an accent on the enter key, escape, or perhaps the FN key, and you could just do one custom key, have the FN key be like a turtle shell. I think that'd be real cool.
I was actually thinking about the brown enter key! I thought it'd be a nice change. But maybe we can do that as an optional color pack with the blue spacebar. Don't want to add too many keys and have people not using keys but paying extra for just more colors of the same key.

I can see the similarities for the alphas, but also consider that mods contribute to the look of a set :)
Filled out the survey. Some thoughts:

I like the blue arrow keys, but not so much on the function keys. I like this set, GJ.

Post by: shower_king on Sat, 06 August 2016, 01:48:48
but GMK penumbra with lighter yellow as alpha is being done in GMK and lighter green as alpha is new and novel and is inspired by your picture.
that is why i prefer to put darker blue(V4 on GMK color card) legend on lighter green(3A on GMK color card) .
I have indicated the two color which could be proper for alpha keycaps

Sounds like you want to make a green version of penumbra? I'm not really sure what you mean with the color changes. I'd prefer white mods because of the contrast with the blue.

I thought about 1800 support, but I think that adding those keys adds much cost for this when not that many users use it as much as other layouts.

The deep contrast for the the blues is something I really enjoy. I'll have to look at renders for the alphas and mods next to each other to give a definite response to this. That is a great idea however :)

I have some ideas for the novelties. I'm also a huge Squirtle/Blastoise fan, but I think it would be a good idea to add some other tangential novelties that tie into either the water theme specifically or the blue color in general. Stuff like wave hazard or drowning hazard signs, hydroelecticity, etc.

I also think it would a perfect opportunity to utilize Arch Linux, as the color scheme is almost identical. I realize it's a trademarked logo, but I don't think it would take much negotiation to ask for permission. I wouldn't mind initiating the conversation with Arch if jchan94 approves. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:TrademarkPolicy (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:TrademarkPolicy)

What about a wave or a shell? Want this to happen so bad :|
Shell that I provided is doable (just need to make it not as thin).
having the arch logo would be awesome actually, but I don't know how feasible that is considering not everyone uses arch or cares.
sunglasses please!
Sounds good! Working on the sunglasses.

It would be cool to have some additional colored novelties like the electric, grass, and fire type logos as well! Don't mean to go and make this a Pokemon keyset, but a Pokemon themed novelty kit would sell like hotcakes right now.

If they make it into production, I would build a separate numpad-like keyboard just to house these novelties

Am I the only one that think its similar to GMK Olivetti to some degree?I realized that I must take back what I said as soon as I saw the rendors,great work,I'm in! :p :p
I mean no offense,but at first glance,I think its just a combination of GMK Olivetti and GMK Electric Bluegaloo Mod Set. :p :p
I know there're some differences,but I am afraid thats not enough to appeal to enough people to make this happen.
Good luck,man.
Post by: alveeno on Sat, 13 August 2016, 11:59:42
Yes, please post an IC. Honestly, novelties would make this set 100% better to me because its just a cool colorway. Novelties would tie in pokemon with a kick ass keyset. That's just my 2 centsCan I make a novelty suggestion? What about the water energy design from the TCG?

Just updated renders from GMK!
I love the set. It's simple and to the point whilst still being unique and interesting - and I'm usually not even a fan of blue on my keyboards. I'll definitely be buying one when you get the GB going.

I cannot get over how good this looks. This has been my dream keyset (the colorway is my personal favorite) and I'll regret it forever and ever and ever if I don't join.

Would love to see the Ctrl legends changed to Control.
Didn't even catch that. I agree; I hate "Ctrl" on the 1.5u mods.
All this time I've been paying attention to the colors. I have to now inspect the legends and actual cap options. ;D
Post by: duynguyenle on Tue, 16 August 2016, 12:10:35
One minor point though, regarding the GMK render, it seems there are way too many R4 1u 'Code' keys? Surely we don't need 4 Code caps. Please change it back to 2x 1u Code and 3x 1u R4 blanks. Thanks! :thumb:

2 blanks and this set would be beyond perfect for me, however, since modifiers are N9, I guess I can use my existing Dolch Blank collection (I just wish I bought more at the time, as a lot of people were kind enough to sell the ones they don't use, from the Ivan's first Dolch GB)

- Is it possible to add F5-F8 and Prt Sc-Pause in GR1 to match the alphas? This way the blue ones won't look too out of place.
- The novelties are the only things that make this set "Squirtle," but if the novelties don't work out then the set doesn't really remind me of Squirtle. Maybe just name the set something else and have an easier time getting novelties?
- Surprised there are no Windows/Menu caps. Consider adding some, if at all for child packs.
- I just realized there are no icons. They look so weird as text-only, especially since there are other caps that have icons-with-text. I'm fine with the short Backspace as is, but I personally prefer the bigger arrow with the X inside.
- Any willingness to make the 7u bottom row R5? :-*
- LED caps?

Is custom legend text something that happens with GMK sets? Perhaps change the text on Enter/Shift/Caps Lock/etc. to Pokemon moves or something, similar to how space-themed sets have their Overdrive buttons and such.
Maybe just have a custom escape or meta key by default, like JTK does.

Custom legends are possible, even with text, seeing that they are willing to do novelties. But this requires you pay for the tooling associated with this.
Custom keys are gonna be in a novelty pack as shown in the OP :D
The set looks good now, but can GMK do such tiny details for the novelties?
Nope, but they are being refined now to be adjusted for their requirements. Wish I knew the specifications before I made the icons...
Okay, finally got a chance to look over the mock-up. Still love the set, but here are some things I noticed/thought of:

:D Romevi, the man with details. Here are your answers.
1. Sorry, but I won't be doing that this time :(. Trying to stick it with some blues.
2. Haha you gotta go back to OG Kanto Region Pokemon then. The novelties are : Bubble, Squad Glasses, Surf, and Shell :)
3. We can see that. Definitely a good consideration and that can be finalized as we can get closer. GMK is on break now so I'll have to wait for them :)
4. Icons are being added. That's an error.

They do pad-printing, which is what I assumed this set was going to go with. Otherwise, is it possible to do texts with moves? If so, would those be pad-printed as well?

Thanks for the response!
1. That's fine, but I guess it's the all-black row that clashes most. Most, if not all, Cherry sets have alternating top rows with the main modifier and alpha base colors; having that top row with no white would look off to me, but I guess we'll see.
2. OG Kanto is what I was thinking of, but when I look at the set I don't think of Squirtle at all, and I think it's because of the lack of brown. I know the novelties include it, but since the black dominates the modifiers I don't really think of the blue starter Pokemon. I don't want to change the colors at all, but rather the name. But it's totally your call.
3. Great!
4. Ah, thank goodness!
5. R5 > R4 for bottom row. >;)
6. They definitely do, but I think I meant to use the term "window" caps as mentioned above. I have them with my Skidata set!
Please don't take these as negative criticisms but as mere suggestions from one user. As I've said, I love this set and already have planned to put aside money for the GB.

6. They definitely do, but I think I meant to use the term "window" caps as mentioned above. I have them with my Skidata set!
Please don't take these as negative criticisms but as mere suggestions from one user. As I've said, I love this set and already have planned to put aside money for the GB.
Haha it isn't negative :) I can tell you're very passsionate about this. Oh and I thought you meant backlit ones. I think of those caps as "windowed caps". lol.
:D glad to have you on board romevi

Using CR (black), CP (white) and V4 (blue). All keys here are identical to GMK Hyperfuse, the best in my opinion.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/kHYnRtT.png)
Replaced CP with U9.
U9 is light gray, which gonna look horrible on most white especially cream white keyboard. CR is a good choice while i think WS1 is always the best choice cause it's purer.
Not identical to hyperfuse at all, totally definitely legends color

Are two 7u space bars in the render of the main set? Is it an error? or you meant 6, 6.25 and 7u space bars?Good spot. I think the bottom one is supposed to be a 6u.

Add the Windows key and Im in!
Unfortunately, I won't be adding that. Trying to stay impartial to OS D: // btw I use Win&OS X, but OS X more these days because hackintosh.

I don't suppose you could make a small pack that includes the windows key/other keys that people are requesting? If it doesn't hit moq then it doesn't hit moq but at least we would have a chance at the few keys we might want. Either way, the set is shaping up very nicely.

Extremely fair point.
Can you list what sizes you'd want the win pack?
2x 1u & 2x 1.25u?.
I've seen a lot of support for a classic windows key logo so I think that's the way to go.

I would use diamonds but I don't feel like it fits the theme unfortunately. :(
The alternative keys are already the novelties so we'll see about the win pack.

Yeah I think that would be nice. My vote is for the classic windows key but when it comes down to it I don't mind which one it is as long as there is one. Thanks for the awesome work man!

Also, is Backspace supposed to have an arrow?

+1 for the 1.25u and 1.u Windows pack. It was taken out of Plum unfortunately, but I really like the contrast (icon against the control/alt text) and accuracy (what the key says, the key does) of the Windows keys.
In N9 for the keycap color? :)

That just reminds me, isn't N9 the Dolch base colour? Maybe we can have Sky Blue Dolch to compliment last year's Sky Dolch! :p

Post by: shangrila500 on Sun, 21 August 2016, 16:59:14
- The novelties are the only things that make this set "Squirtle," but if the novelties don't work out then the set doesn't really remind me of Squirtle. Maybe just name the set something else and have an easier time getting novelties?
Is custom legend text something that happens with GMK sets? Perhaps change the text on Enter/Shift/Caps Lock/etc. to Pokemon moves or something, similar to how space-themed sets have their Overdrive buttons and such.
Maybe just have a custom escape or meta key by default, like JTK does.
Custom legends are possible, even with text, seeing that they are willing to do novelties. But this requires you pay for the tooling associated with this.
Custom keys are gonna be in a novelty pack as shown in the OP :DThe set looks good now, but can GMK do such tiny details for the novelties?
Nope, but they are being refined now to be adjusted for their requirements. Wish I knew the specifications before I made the icons...Okay, finally got a chance to look over the mock-up. Still love the set, but here are some things I noticed/thought of:
- Is it possible to add F5-F8 and Prt Sc-Pause in GR1 to match the alphas? This way the blue ones won't look too out of place.
- The novelties are the only things that make this set "Squirtle," but if the novelties don't work out then the set doesn't really remind me of Squirtle. Maybe just name the set something else and have an easier time getting novelties?
- Surprised there are no Windows/Menu caps. Consider adding some, if at all for child packs.
- I just realized there are no icons. They look so weird as text-only, especially since there are other caps that have icons-with-text. I'm fine with the short Backspace as is, but I personally prefer the bigger arrow with the X inside.
- Any willingness to make the 7u bottom row R5? :-*
- LED caps?
:D Romevi, the man with details. Here are your answers.
1. Sorry, but I won't be doing that this time :(. Trying to stick it with some blues.
2. Haha you gotta go back to OG Kanto Region Pokemon then. The novelties are : Bubble, Squad Glasses, Surf, and Shell :)
3. We can see that. Definitely a good consideration and that can be finalized as we can get closer. GMK is on break now so I'll have to wait for them :)
4. Icons are being added. That's an error.
5. Sorry not at this time :(. No R5 :( </3 sorry.
6. GMK doesn't make LED caps afaik.
I have seen GMK LED caps but I never saw the GB so it could have been someone else making them.
Is there any chance that you could add a spacebar kit similar to what is going to drop in the near future for Carbon?
Spacebar? A 6.25u and 7u white are included and an optional n5 spacebar kit is also available
No, I mean similar to the new kit that hasn't dropped yet

The green set is next :). I've done some drawing the novelties but these are more like sketches compared to what has happened for GMK Hydro, as I believe they are fundamental to the final design of the whole set.
Here are my plans:
1) GMK Hydro
2) GMK Vines
3) Possibly GMK Flames
3.5) Possibly GMK Lightning ?:)
4) Possibly DSA Hydro
5) Possibly DSA Vines.
6) Possibly DSA Flames.
I would do a red set, but I think there's this certain quality of red that people don't enjoy. Not that many RED sets have been made but many this can be one of the few!
I hope you all enjoy this plan and hope you all enjoy the designs that come from this.
But these are just plans, and if I can't get these things done, I'll make sure to pass of the designs to someone else to make sure they get done :^).

Will GMK Vines be something similar to GMK Nordic pine? If you haven't chosen a palette for that yet, maybe you could confer with the designer of that set, seeing as it is unlikely to happen, I would love to see it reincarnated as GMK vine (perhaps with some bulbasaur novelties?)

Palette will be the similar, but I will look at a custom green color.N7 is a little too dark for my tastes., but the way that the colors will be hinted will be similar to this one. I will rethink how deep the grey tones are. I really do prefer mute tone alphas (white, grey, black), so I'll be using those as point of departures in the designs.
And of course, there will be some bulbasaur inspired novelties to go along with it.
I'm sure that if you are enjoying the current taste of GMK Hydro, you will enjoy the designs I have setup for GMK Vines.
IC for is it planned to go up when Hydro finishes payment phase & we submit to GMK :). So early October? :D

I hope you all enjoy this plan and hope you all enjoy the designs that come from this.
But these are just plans, and if I can't get these things done, I'll make sure to pass of the designs to someone else to make sure they get done :^).
Oh damn, it's already in the works and I also got the name right?! Sweet!
Ready for the Bulbasaur bulb novelty!
Solar beam Enter? ;D ;D
Yeee that'd be awesome!
I was thinking a vine whip Enter but that may look weird... :eek:

Palette will be the similar, but I will look at a custom green color.N7 is a little too dark for my tastes., but the way that the colors will be hinted will be similar to this one. I will rethink how deep the grey tones are. I really do prefer mute tone alphas (white, grey, black), so I'll be using those as point of departures in the designs.
And of course, there will be some bulbasaur inspired novelties to go along with it.
I'm sure that if you are enjoying the current taste of GMK Hydro, you will enjoy the designs I have setup for GMK Vines.
IC for is it planned to go up when Hydro finishes payment phase & we submit to GMK :). So early October? :D
I'm not fussed about the shade of green, as long as it's not obnoxiously bright. Do hope you keep with the N9 base though, since it will keep some sort of corellation between sets, and also it's the base colour of Dolch, and Dolch base is best base :))

Will have to play around with it.
I do like the idea of having Magenta (sort of like Venasaur's plant) as the mods. Maybe with the light green on the mods, but the legends might screwed.
I'll have to get renders before I mess with it more and end up in a hole :(.
But N9 can be the solution we need :)

Really excited to see what you got coming in the next few months man. I think GMK Flames and Lightning could be something really great.Awesome colors! Will most definitely be in for one...
Now if only we can get a Bulbasaur Set similar to this one... GMK Vine anyone?
The green set is next :). I've done some drawing the novelties but these are more like sketches compared to what has happened for GMK Hydro, as I believe they are fundamental to the final design of the whole set.
Here are my plans:
1) GMK Hydro
2) GMK Vines
3) Possibly GMK Flames
3.5) Possibly GMK Lightning ?:)
4) Possibly DSA Hydro
5) Possibly DSA Vines.
6) Possibly DSA Flames.

All of this could not be possible without the community and the support for these sets.
It's important to rally behind these GBs because we can get more sets out there and not have some aftermarket value fiasco :D

It does support 1800 including the 6u space bar, it is shown in both the base alpha color and in the blue one and you should be aware that GMK mold for these bars fits the 1800's stems positions, while SP's does not.

Almost gave up looking for sets for the Cherry 1800s, because recent sets from GMK aren't designed with them in mind but for modern 1800 layouts with standard or 7U spacebars.

Right; fortunately, a few sensible group buy leaders of current ICs that will turn into buys soon, are offering the 6u option, you should be prepared to invest in them, because I think, most upcoming sets will support 6.25 and 7 units bars, only; also, you should be aware that Sprit has developed the wire in that size and he posted a picture of it today, I suppose the wire will be available soon. The original wires of this size from 1800 keyboards tend to present a bump in the middle that may clash with plates as most of the boards that carried it do not have plates, while the Sprit's is straight.

AFAIK, 1800 keyboards with 7u WKL arrangement is actually the old-school arrangement. Newer boards are the ones that comes with 6u spacebar and winkeys

For 1u r4, this set includes:

2x 1u windows key
1x 1u fn.
You can also get 6 more by getting novelty pack.

White legend on blue modifiers match novelties better , i think.
We have switched to N9 on blue mods. I fundamentally believe that N9 is how the novelties should be designed.

Sorry Xondat :(. The battle between uniformity vs the novelties was a tough one.
I fundamentally believe that I'd kill off the novelties by changing it to GR1.
Maybe if we need to change that up, R2 will have the N5/GR1 keys that you wish to see. Of course, you can always try to find a bluegaloo set to change it up :^).

I wonder how different the alphas will look in person compared to TA (i.e. how much bluer). Because right now I'm using TA alphas and Bluegaloo mods, feel like I'm already 50% of the way to GMK Hydro.

I had that. Wasn't too impressed with the combo. With the black mods, I'm sure Hydro will adhere to my preferences better.
Post by: romevi on Fri, 26 August 2016, 19:28:15
That said, looks like we can't do much to have a more traditional set as the black keys on top deter from that.
It's still my dream set, but I may have to think 'bout it.
Still glad you chose the Win95 logo and the splash of blue to break up the top row, but no matching alpha-colored F keys... ;_;

I'm supporting this set because someone finally is supporting the 1.25u Fn and Code keys. Almost no sets do this. Hats off to you sir.

Modifier Gray should be the same as Dolch Alphas Base (i believe).

The Alpha appear to be the same as Hyperfuse obviously with blue instead of purple. Are their color codes the same?
Everything set will always be compared to Hyperfuse :p
Hyperfuse uses 2M (IIRC) & this uses GR1.

I think I actually like the gr1 better. The hyperfuse alphas look really white. Gr1 looked more white

Really? Gr1 looks like it has a little hint of gray in it ; maybe 8%?
Looking at this on a Macbook Pro

Then looked at the Hyperfuse in-person, indeed the hyperfuse alphas look too white for my taste, but when you inspect them individually, they are not that white, but within the set, they look super-white, probably from the contrast
GR1 seemed ok. to me too, I guess, it might be futile to try to avoid whiteness for a set with white alphas
I think this set would look nice on 2M, GR1, CP, not sure how exactly 2M vs GR1 compares tho
TL;DR: I don't have a strong opinion on the topic :)

While I can bend my own thick wires for stabs, I'm not inclined to fit a plate on my 1800s unless they're universal. I like them the way they are as they absolutely sound wonderful.Is there support intended for original Cherry 1800s?
I see there's multiple spacebar sizes in the sketches, sure hope this set comes with support for 1800's and 6U spacebars. :thumb:
It does support 1800 including the 6u space bar, it is shown in both the base alpha color and in the blue one and you should be aware that GMK mold for these bars fits the 1800's stems positions, while SP's does not.
Schweet, thanks for the heads up. ;D
Almost gave up looking for sets for the Cherry 1800s, because recent sets from GMK aren't designed with them in mind but for modern 1800 layouts with standard or 7U spacebars.
Right; fortunately, a few sensible group buy leaders of current ICs that will turn into buys soon, are offering the 6u option, you should be prepared to invest in them, because I think, most upcoming sets will support 6.25 and 7 units bars, only; also, you should be aware that Sprit has developed the wire in that size and he posted a picture of it today, I suppose the wire will be available soon. The original wires of this size from 1800 keyboards tend to present a bump in the middle that may clash with plates as most of the boards that carried it do not have plates, while the Sprit's is straight.
(I absolutely have a thing with how keyboards sounds.)
I'm just looking to find time get my 1808 and 1867 removable mini-b modded.

What do you mean by universal? Like ANSI-ISO universal cutouts? Or universal as in supporting both 1800 and 1865 bottom row?
I've been on working on a 1800 plate file for laser cutting, I've got plates for both 1800 and 1865 layouts too if you want to get some cut.

That plate is a hybrid bottom row layout but I could make one specifically for 6+7u bottom row too :thumb:
PCB mounted 1800s feels a bit too mushy for me, and the dowels in the bottom and top casing are made out of wet tissue paper, they just break off way too easily. Gotta start getting better at generating 3D geometries so I can have my own 1800 cases made out of aluminium

Wow, now that's dedication. :thumb:
That's basically it, looks like you even take into consideration with the plate for ease of switch top removal.
Yea, I will confess that was the main draw of a plate with the bottoms of the cases being very brittle and it even looks like your switches are not leveled when your case isn't fully closed up with some of them snapped off.

Aluminium? I have a pok3r and I like so much more the supercheap $15 plastic cases... Well, if you succeed in replicating a 1800 case, you can probably make a gb for 3d printed plastic cases then ;-)

That's my main problem with 1800 series cases, there are usually two large dowels on the top case that goes into two holes on the PCB and locates it axially, but there are also two little dowels on the bottom case that keeps the PCB in the proper alignment for when you snap the top case down. The problem is that these two pins always snap off doesn't matter how careful you are. Having a plate makes for a much more secure fit when the case is closed down.

I haven't have the slightest idea til I opened up one recently for a full clean up too. Will definitely follow your posts closely on updates for inspiration on the case fabrication, I however really liked to go with acrylic instead to keep the keyboard sounding as similar to the original as possible.

I never understood the love for 1800. It's like one inch shorter than the 3000, and SO much harder to get correct caps for...
g80-1800
Dimensions (product):
approx. 405 x 180 x 44 mm
g80-3000
Dimensions (product):
approx. 470 x 195 x 44 mm
That's a difference of 65mm or 2.55 inches, which is a lot!!
If the bezel of the g80-1800 was more modern and smaller (let's say as big as the novatouch), the g80-1800 could measure only 380mm!! Which is a fantastic result.
novatouch
approx. 359 x 39 x 138 mm
the pok3r should be
292 x 103 x 38mm

I do love the Gameboy games tho, bought a 3DS ~2 years ago for the new games, they still provide 30 hours of net. guaranteed fun per game
Then I spent an awful amount of money on TCG, re-lived the old days with my brother, in those days, we weren't much on the lucky side of things - now I have a huge drawer section full of Pokemon cards
If anyone is interested, the online card game is JUST INCREDIBLE - There are just countless strategies, decks, and collecting/using cards is a breeze - I had the most annoying deck possible for example, using Pokemons and trainers that just discard energies and cards of the opponent, most people just forfeit after 1-2 turns, only the most agile decks were able to beat it
For this set, I'm interested for the colors tho and not Pokemon

For some reason Pokemon GO really ruined Pokemon for me, even though I didn't play the game, have no idea why it happened, maybe it happened before and I only realised with Pokemon GO release

Totes agree on the TCG, but I haven't played it in a couple of years. I had no idea how to play the game before the TCG Beta was released, and when I played I was instantly hooked. Bought some boxes, made some decks, and attended a few events. Got my kid sister hooked on it so thankfully I didn't look like an old creep at the events, but after going to them I was nowhere near actual creep level.
Anywho, as a kid I was the ripe age when Blue and Red released; took the neighborhood by storm. Never got the games or a Game Boy, but years later my roommate in college was into the DS games, so I got a Lite and the GBA and DS games. played all the main series thus far save for Black 2 and X/Y.

I had a game boy, but, what no one realised was, every GB/A game in my country was a fake game at the time, even the ones Toy's R US etc. sells - and the bastards just removed conversation files from the games, so instead of conversations, random characters appeared, you couldn't reliably save the game - still, spent 1000's of hours with those versions of the games. Only a kid I knew had a genuine game, he got it from US - I kind of view Nintendo piracy as a crime against humanity
This is the online game by the way: http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/play-online/ - Pro method: Buy codes from Ebay, trade packs for cards you want in game - one can get even the most rarest cards for a single booster pack, if I recall correctly. I would still play if the OSX version was decent, but it isn't

Ah, yeah, meant the Online one. That's how I first starting playing it about five years ago when the booster boxes started getting the codes. Haven't played since EX's were rereleased.

That's actually why I preferred it: because it stood out.
Also, it was the only remaining factor in the Squirtle theme to bring out the color of the shell.

Just like the legendary red Cherry Esc, one stood out keycap really make it more vibrant and impressive
And one is enough.

+1 for the original brown Esc shell. Really set the set apart.

Of course! I meant set the set apart from the other blue and grey and white/cream sets.+1 for the original brown Esc shell. Really set the set apart.

Personally I'd prefer the original color with the newer shell design
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Ooh! That's a good idea. The previous design is too gem-like. If we can keep the brown color and do the new shell design in black to match the other black of the novelties, that'd be totes cool.

Why not both. If you are going for a full blue theme kb, probably will not use that brown esc key.
You do make a valid argument ;).

I do see how the darker blue would theme with Wartortle. I liked how the brown clashed with the rest of the set, making the Esc that much more noticeable. It's always good to see an Esc of a different color but somehow matches the theme of the set, and that brown did a great job with retaining the color of the shell.
I'm fine with either legend, but I see how the newer shell resembles a shell more than the previous. Whatevs.
Just glad to see the brown is back!

Thanks for the assistance, but, it will be quite sometimes before I start to work on my 1800s...
I still have a soft spot for the pcb mounted cherries. :D
Yes, universal as in compatibility for ANSI/ISO and both bottom row layouts.
You mean like this? ;DShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/d6n3Hp6.png)
That plate is a hybrid bottom row layout but I could make one specifically for 6+7u bottom row too :thumb:
PCB mounted 1800s feels a bit too mushy for me, and the dowels in the bottom and top casing are made out of wet tissue paper, they just break off way too easily. Gotta start getting better at generating 3D geometries so I can have my own 1800 cases made out of aluminium
Can you do a GB for your 1800 case? ;D
I've been looking for an 1800 case for ages! :(
Jesus settle down people :))
I've only just started modelling the original 1800 plastic case and the moulded supports, it will be a long while before I make something noteworthy :pI never understood the love for 1800. It's like one inch shorter than the 3000, and SO much harder to get correct caps for...
It's a full size keyboard within a TKL form factor. What's not to like?
I'm definitely interested to take your finished design to run on acrylic as a tester myself. Am starting to hear creaks from my case already, rather have an improved case than scavenging for another case.
The arrow cluster isn't begging for a lot of space where it is than on a fullsized keyboard, it's ( the arrow cluster) something you can't live with out or without and that's when the 1800s design shined so much imo.

Has there been a pricing estimate? I've been away from the thread for a while and haven't seen any indication of a price.
Waiting for GMK to update me. Their sales/pricing agent has been on Vacation (or just out for 2 weeks).
I did email them yesterday for an update though and I am waiting for a reply now.

For now, I see Sept 19th to be the launch date.
2 Weeks for the GB, or longer for 150 MoQ.
We'll take a few days to make sure we have all the proper units that need to be ordered, then make payment.
GMK says 10-12 weeks after payment.
So TLDR: probably late January.

Fugg, September is so packed. Gonna have to show serious restraint to make sure I join before deadline.
Right? Tell me about it, gotten in on the popular 2-3 artisan rounds, the Keyboard & Co set, the MiniVan drop on MD (a little before September there but you know, still) and a couple more upcoming releases later this month, including Hydro.
I'm very pleased, wallet however is not. Going to have to pass off some of the sets and/or boards to the wife so that I don't "accidentally" get pillow smothered in my sleep one of these days.

With all these nice sets on offer at the same time, this one should be priced very carefully, some others are already very good deals.
I believe that WoB was priced well because of the uniform color pigment that it has. Hopefully Hydro can get close to it, but I'm not sure how color affects pricing.
For comparative data, look at GMK Skidata and how much that cost compared to other sets available, in addition to looking at compatibility that each set offers with the number of keys, etc :)

Regarding Skidata, its pricing structure appeared to be related mainly with the GB's profiting approach; that I respect; but, I prefer the GBs that are community oriented. A nice set with a proper price is the best example of what a community like this can make.

He also mentioned in the JTK thread that they have agreed to allow specific other people run GB's of some of their colorways, so it is likely that if we do see Hyperfuse R2, it will come through a different host than CTRLALT.

Registered, because I am super excited about this set. Just curious regarding the spacebars - in the description it says it supports FC660M, but some Leopolds have different spacing for the stems. Will the spacebar having support these different spacings? It'd be nice to have but not holding my breath.
The original version of the FC660M's had the space bar's stems in non standard positions; so, if you have one of those these bars will not fit it. No standard space bar does. When I had one of those boards I got some PBT blank sets at Tai Hao that carry compatible space bars.

Alright that makes sense, I figured that might have been the case. I'm okay with leaving the spacebar as is (or possibly modding a spacebar to work). Thanks for the response... now just waiting for that price update.

It was really unfortunate that those nice boards were built with such a glitch, actually that was the main reason I sold it, it was really annoying not being able to use full sets with it, the other non standard features are that you will need two 2.25u shifts and 1u window or similar key for the bottom row, while these are not as annoying like the space bar issue, they are still silly.

any idea if the fc660m coverage will be for the original spacebar or the newer version?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The updated version of the FC660M is known to use standard stems 6.25 space bar; thus, any standard space bar of that size would fit it, including GMK's that are standard, also. Very few space bars fit the stem positions of the original FC660M.
Here is a picture of the sample I owned that shows the stems and a picture of the space bars that I had that fits it, I found that neither GMK nor SP space bars fit it.

Original version of the FC660M.

Space bars that fit the odd stems of the original FC660M, the gray one is the original Leopold one, the white above it fits them, as well as the black one, the other white is from a Skull Squadron set that as you can see does not fit the stems.

Does anyone know how the alphas will compare to the TA alphas? I haven't been able to find TA color codes - I know the mods were color matched against the originals, but were the alphas customs as well?

Hope to see you join! For the number of keys, compatiblity, we think the price is pretty fair as they all include trays to prevent damage.
Only ever was eyeing base in the first place.
Do we have any idea it it will break 500?
I definitely believe we can break 250 as we have kingnestea, a member of camp team china to help us run internationally;)

Oh, the ****ING trays...
Could you please elaborate?
im not familiar with GMK or keycaps in general

Oh, the ****ING trays...
Also! Gmk has informed me that the trays have been updated to include more locking mechanisms so keycaps don't spill in transit!
Photo to follow soon.

how long do you project the group buy being open?
Long enough for me to get the funds to order one. :cool:
Post by: Moistgun on Thu, 15 September 2016, 13:59:00
Will there be a limit on the number sold? Also how long do you project the group buy being open?
It said in the op before that it would be open for like 4-5 days I think? I may be high. IDK
He also said you can get a number of sets, as long as you don't seem like a flipper.

It's pricey, but not unreasonable TBH, GMK sets tend to be pretty expensive anyway.

Yea I just paid $130 a few weeks ago for Keyboard & Co GMK which had basically the exact same keys included as this one does - $150 doesn't sound unreasonable to me personally, it's expensive of course but GMK is expensive.

* Almost the exact same keys.
This has 20 more keys for ultimate compatibility and the pricing includes trays. Gotta keep these babies safe of we'll have another TA issue.

Oh yea, you're right, my bad I was just saying it off memory - you have more layout flexibility and a few extra top row keys, yep.
Wasn't accounting for the tray, still, even if it didn't include it the price would still be very competitive, especially if 250 sets are reached for both the base and novelties with Nestea and the Chinese community's help. Plus the stickers, let's not forget the godlike stickers! :eek:

cheers! thanks man! appreciate it!any idea if the fc660m coverage will be for the original spacebar or the newer version?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The updated version of the FC660M is known to use standard stems 6.25 space bar; thus, any standard space bar of that size would fit it, including GMK's that are standard, also. Very few space bars fit the stem positions of the original FC660M.
Here is a picture of the sample I owned that shows the stems and a picture of the space bars that I had that fits it, I found that neither GMK nor SP space bars fit it.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/FcBF0B4.jpg)
Original version of the FC660M.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/T0pNzYF.jpg)
Space bars that fit the odd stems of the original FC660M, the gray one is the original Leopold one, the white above it fits them, as well as the black one, the other white is from a Skull Squadron set that as you can see does not fit the stems.

Matching cables available with purchased keyset? I mean blue, grey, and white aren't too tough to match but.. ya know. Sometimes people just like decisions to be made for them.
Very nice idea, I'd go for this! As mentioned, it wouldn't be too tough to match, but I bet jchan can come up with a sick theme to pair with this set...

I feel like a dataset on all GBs would be very inconsistent, as it is difficult to factor in
A. when people get paid and are ABLE to join
B. holiday seasons
C. group buys who are extended to international parties towards the very end

It is an example of the classic problem of a survival curve that is commonly use to predict time to failure in reliability; but, in this case is time to reach a certain MoQ. A Weibull CDF is the usual probability model to create a predictive model. All special events account for the final shape of the curve.

7u is too long. Way unnecessary.
The only good thing it does is even out the bottom row by changing the size of the other caps (and eliminating one), but otherwise any bar longer than 6u is overkill--in my eyes, at least.

Nah, that's a fair argument, I just personally can't get used to having keys that I never use (windows & menu), so I wanted to create a board with keys that will always be used. no F-row, no win/menu, and I even reprogrammed the rightside bottom modifiers to arrow keys :v

7u means the spacebar is not centred correctly to the alphas area (and by extension, to the default hand position), so that really bugs me.

This six unit space bar is a Gateron made one in Cherry profile in PBT, that Sir Infiniti graciously donated me - Thank you again Infiniti - and it can be sourced from IMSTO's store, he has six, six and a quater and seven units available, I got from him the seven unit versions in black and beige a year ago, then he had no six units yet, the Windows logo keys are A Profile.

It's close enough to centre with respect to the homing keys. It's 1u from F to the outer left edge of the bar and 1.25u from J to the right edge

That would rock, and you should be aware that original Cherry six unit space bars found in 18xx boards have the switch stem off centered as well, exactly as the new Gateron's. The one in the picture is a space bar I sold last year, it was an original Cherry's 1800 I supose that the upcoming ones, like the space bar included in GMK HYDRO will have also off centered stems.

I am not sure, but you may check the Signature Plastics stock and ask them if their six units space bars are centered, I think they are; but, why you want them centered? as far as I know available PCBs that get them require off centered stem for the switch.

I don't think it ever has looked good - Keyboard & Co barely made it, Originative (keyset) is still ongoing (I don't think they've reached half MOQ yet), Stormtrooper took weeks to meet MOQ.
Personally, $150 is very high, and I can't figure out why it's so high. Perhaps we can have more insight? What are your thoughts on the MOQs and other GMK buys, jchan?

Throwing it out there, now that Originative have said "in store this week" for Hyperfuse, and it's most likely GMK...
Well call me Sally. I NEED Hyperfuse in my life, secretly hoping it's DSA rather than GMK though as I've got like 3 GMKs on order already, I'll buy it regardless anyway. Mito's Godspeed is launching in a couple weeks too on Massdrop, and then Evan's DSA Lightcycle fullsized some time in Octorber... Sherry's JD40 assembled kits are supposedly up soon as well.
Not like this mayne. NOT LIKE DIS.
PS: Curious how Hyperfuse will be priced given you said $150 for this set is steep, I'm fairly new to buys like these and yea $150 is a ton of money, so was $130 for K&C, but I just figured GMKs prices are pretty damn high these days.

This is mainly why I asked about pricing. K&C makes sense because Sherry/Originative run a business.

Yea I wasn't trying to derail the thread, on the contrary, maybe I worded it poorly. I was just wondering as it pertains to Hydro as well, if pricing discrepancies are all over the place it may get a bit iffy for folks to make up their mind - interesting that GMK sets are cheaper to be made now, goes to show I'm far from being "in the know", $90 is super reasonable for a full featured set (given pricings I've been seeing past couple months most the time).
Regarding K&C yea it is understandable yea, I feel it was perfectly warranted there.
Hopefully I'm not accidentally derailing anything, I really hope Hydro comes to be and that Hyperfuse/other sets coming out don't lead people to skip out, it'll just be interesting/educational to see what happens.

Jchan also runs a business so that explains some of the cost. I haven't heard that a full set starts at $90 now. Hydro pricing seems similar to kb&co and carbon at least at the lower price points.Overheads have to exist, but we've become used to very high prices.
I'm not going to comment on this further until jchan gives his insight, but I think it's something worth talking about. Please keep to facts, and don't speculate/guess as that only leads to negativity.

earn money is a main point, i think. Before is enthusiasm for GMK , now is enthusiasm for money. I really show my respect to Mr Jchan. At which price to launch a GB is a right belonging to jchan. I really like the novelty keycaps he have create in this , very good and cute.It only happened today where someone (v experience) talked about GMK pricing, nothing to worry about, but it has got me wondering why prices have gone up if they're cheaper to make.I'm not turning this into a HF discussion, but apparently GMK sets are even cheaper to be made now, and a "full featured" set is about $90. This is mainly why I asked about pricing. K&C makes sense because Sherry/Originative run a business.
Yea I wasn't trying to derail the thread, on the contrary, maybe I worded it poorly. I was just wondering as it pertains to Hydro as well, if pricing discrepancies are all over the place it may get a bit iffy for folks to make up their mind - interesting that GMK sets are cheaper to be made now, goes to show I'm far from being "in the know", $90 is super reasonable for a full featured set (given pricings I've been seeing past couple months most the time).

Throwing it out there, now that Originative have said "in store this week" for Hyperfuse, and it's most likely GMK... It doesn't sound good for Hydro.
I don't think it ever has looked good - Keyboard & Co barely made it, Originative (keyset) is still ongoing (I don't think they've reached half MOQ yet), Stormtrooper took weeks to meet MOQ.
Personally, $150 is very high, and I can't figure out why it's so high. Perhaps we can have more insight? What are your thoughts on the MOQs and other GMK buys, jchan?
You also have to consider the number of keys included relative to the pricing. It's a very wide set that covers a lot of alternatives. Also consider that the pricing is inclusive of trays.
If you like hyperfuse, that's great dude. Go get it, it's a good deal compared to what people on the mechmarket are selling it for at this moment. I bought a set today from Sherryton and it's awesome. It will cost $175 at retail but consider the price relative to the keys, and also of course, immediate shipment of the set. Of course, consider the colors as well. Whichever floats your boat honestly.
I hope you join the buy regardless, and I hope this is as transparent as possible. Whichever way you go, I hope you enjoy the set you end up with bro.
Edit:
$135 includes trays, banking fees, sorting fees, and shipping fees (more expensive with trays).

Should be fine. We're accustomed to seeing hyperfuse on end.game boards, and seeing more of it out there is great. I love it in fact, but different sets bring different personalities and I'm sure that'll reflect with GMK Hydro. I'm really excited for it and I'm confident in reaching moq. It's a different set, and while it might be compared to gmk hyperfuse, i think it'll do well and make a lot of people happy.
I love the colors of hyperfuse, but I've always loved blue and mute colors more. To me, hyperfuse is an endgame keyset, but having it is also a collectors mentality.
Hopefully regardless of hyperfuse, people will jump on hydro and get a splash of blue on their board.

Yea, I'm hoping both sets don't really implicate each others' success (or lack thereof) by also catering to generally the same crowd - I'm biased because purple/violet is my favourite colour, Hyperfuse is a must have, but I'm confident I can still get in on Hydro as well. I love the theme and novelties more than enough to make it worth it, even though blue is not a favourite of mine the colourway of Hydro is very cool and cohesive.

That would rock, and you should be aware that original Cherry six unit space bars found in 18xx boards have the switch stem off centered as well, exactly as the new Gateron's. The one in the picture is a space bar I sold last year, it was an original Cherry's 1800 I supose that the upcoming ones, like the space bar included in GMK HYDRO will have also off centered stems.
I would like to know the answer as well. Off-centered stems on the 6u spacebar or not?

GMK should be like Cherry, it is off-centered, of course, the OP should confirm it with the manufacturer.

A good idea IMO would be to add a MOQ counter somewhere on the GB page to keep people informed of the number of each sets already sold. I think it would give people more assurance when they are buying and will also add a layer of transparency to the GB.

1) i think it's pretty much guaranteed since we're combining orders with china - if anyone remembers the gmk carbon drop the asian order was a significant portion of hitting the higher moq
2) if everyone interested in the 250 moq price contributed to the buy, i have no doubt we'd hit 250 moq. possibly same for 500 moq. really if you want to get the drop to happen at 250 moq, you should join to contribute to hitting that moq. 150/250 are not particularly difficult numbers to hit with how big the community has grown.

Totally agree with this. Quickest way to build momentum is to hit lower price points very early on.
The more buying in now, will get that lower price, helping get more people into the 3rd tier.

Not too sure, but I thought that it was always not included.
you have a basic changing production price, and the shipping would be fixed at 8 and 20 or whatever.

I believe I read it wrong. I now see that the trays are included, and I must have seen that and read shipping instead.

A year ago I would just shrug, and pull the plug at $170, I guess I'm getting old and careful with money
Now, I don't want to miss the set, but don't want to be an idiot in my own eyes by paying extra for nothing either, it's a dilemma
I don't know whether I'm bitter, but this price change doesn't seem like fairplay either, It would have been much more easier/fun to lock the orders and unleash the extra charge when the set launches, I couldn't complain if that was the case, now it just feels like a trap
Free economy I guess

A year ago I would just shrug, and pull the plug at $170, I guess I'm getting old and careful with money
Now, I don't want to miss the set, but don't want to be an idiot in my own eyes by paying extra for nothing either, it's a dilemma
I don't know whether I'm bitter, but this price change doesn't seem like fairplay either, It would have been much more easier/fun to lock the orders and unleash the extra charge when the set launches, I couldn't complain if that was the case, now it just feels like a trap
Free economy I guess

It's so bitter missing the sweet spot of this GB, after following the IC for this long :(

Wasn't there a defined window for getting orders in?

There was a definitive moment for getting orders in and it was announced before and during the GB.
I ordered extras that are available for purchase. I think I was pretty open, and clear about the process, timeline, and markup value.
GMK has confirmed a mid January ship date.

That's how I remember it.

Any update on the shipping? I saw it reached in Europe but haven't heard anything about shipping to the states.
You're in the wrong thread bud :).
