Ok, so let me put it like this... if someone was going to give you a FREE set of doubleshots, and it can be anything besides US, what do you pick?

UK

If voting ended now... (it's not) Dolch and TA sets would win, and the only languages that would be offered would be US/GB/DE/ES/SF (listed in order of popularity) based on voting percentages.

Sweet, I didnt realize I could only vote for 2 colorways so I voted Dolch and Skidata. That TA set is super nice too so I'm happy to see that it's popular.

Seems to make the most sense to me, though I'd be nice if there wasn't a US option on the first run, as the US layout is probally the best supported on this site, which while being based in the US so comes as no shock, GH is kinda the biggest and best mechanical keyboard site (least thats my perception having browsed and used the other sites a little).

So it would be nice for the US to be put to one side for now and come back to as there are so many US sets out there, but I get why that's not very practical.

Vote Dolch Orange keyset (White on Orange base/Very darkgrey modified).

jdcarpe · « **Reply #109 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 10:13:59 »

I wish there was an option for a combination of Dolch and Skidata. Dolch colorway with orange Skidata legends.

pasph · « **Reply #110 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 10:30:13 »

ES is good even for IT.
Modifiers will be US for all, US and GB ("alt gr" thing) or localized?

Alessandro · « **Reply #111 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 10:40:36 »

Voted for dolch and coffee on cream. Get them to make RUS tripleshots!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #112 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 11:14:16 »

Sets will be modular. So you would buy BASE, a MOD PACK, and a PACK # to fill out the rest of your language keys. If one wanted they could buy whichever color they wanted from each of those 3 kits to build a full set. So if Dolch and Skidata won, you could do that. Or if you already had a Dolch set, you could just buy a set of Skidata mod pack.
All set will come with Alt AND Alt Gr as default as pretty much everything but US ANSI uses it. All the current proposed keys are listed in post 2.

blighty · « **Reply #113 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 11:34:11 »

Will these quarterly buys supersede any moogle group buys? I.E. buy the modifier pack if you happen to need/want the offered colourway to use with a "vintage" Cherry DS set (white on black, black on beige, dolch)? I didn't want to pick dolch as my second choice, but it seems like the best chance we will get 1.25 mods (for the keysets that I have).

What about the spacebars? Will they be universal or will they fit only the usual keyboards such as Filco, Das, etc?

It would be really nice to be able to fit one on a Leopold FC200.

I wouldn't hold high hope for Leopold spacebar compatibility.
As far as moogle SP buys, I guess these would make them rather unneeded. Additional modifier pack colorways could be included as one of the special packs in the quarterly buys as required.

Acetrak · « **Reply #119 on:** Wed, 16 January 2013, 13:09:11 »

Since Cherry space use the off centered stem, will GMK need to make a new mold if Filco owners want to use these spacebars?

I'm wondering if I could efficiently use this group buy for getting the key caps needed for my ErgoDox?

Keys needed according to SubGothius:
(60) 1x1 keys (you'll probably want a homing bump on 2 of these)
(12) 1x1.50 keys
(4) 1x2.00 keys

What family is this? DCS? DSA?

EliteKeyboards already sells a 1.3mm thick ABS spacebar for the Leopold FC200R for 4 bucks.

Of course, but only in black.

Do the F & J keys necessarily have to be scoops? 'Cause if possible I'd prefer a raised dot in the middle of the key.

Colemak Dolch set

I'll second this. Colemak wasn't a language option but I used the "other" field to specify it.

On the scoops vs dots debate, I'm still a fan of bars in terms of functionality. They are the easiest to identify whereas scoops are more subtle.

SF is Swedish Finnish yes, I used Cherry language codes sorry.
GMK keys are basically identical to vintage Cherry doubleshots. Same molds. Anything made that you see pictured in OP will be identical.

Can't get quote until we know what we are doing. They price based on specifics. Rough guestimate somewhere between $80 - 130 for a complete proposed set depending on options and MOQ.

You serious? Mate you are gonna do a great business with GMK sets

Not that I haven't done it though.

Olivetti and Dolch are my votes. I don't really care about any other layout than English US, but I voted for Norwegian as the second choice simply because that's my primary language.
So extremely excited for this.

.

Edit: I need to emphasize that I would pick Olivetti over Dolch any day, and that's also why it was my first pick.

I have a hard time imagining this set on a more modern keyboard. Think of this set on a kmac, filco, poker or whatever, it would just look like really yellowed keys.

With a bit of careful stitching, I could have a case and keys to match my watch strap

I think the combination is just about perfect - don't get me wrong, each and every one (almost [I'm looking at you unicorn vomit]) are gorgeous - but coffee and cream, it's like manna from the gods!

I still don't get it. Not to be offensive or anything, but if the set was named brown on really yellowed white instead of coffee on cream then it's backup would have been null, people have a tendency too favor anything and all coffee related for some reason.

Now if it was brown on white/beige (alpha/mods) that would look great!
