[IC] GMK sets interest check and planning

[tsangan]

I'm with Halverson on that one, but also we can just make a blue mod set to add on to the Olivetti set or something?

The faded teal/blue is real nice too though

[eth0s]

I'm ready to order!

Here's what I want in order of preference:

1.  SkiData Orange
2.  Olivetti Blue
3.  Handarbeit Multi-color
4.  Triumph Adler Green*


*I want the faded green, not the original blue.  Also the "unknown coffee-on-cream" set looks like it might just be a yellowed black-on-beige.

[wiredPANDA]

My votes

1. Dolch
2. Coffee
3. Skidata

[tjcaustin]

I vote for klaxon. 

[The_Beast]

SkiData orange on charcoal
Olivetti blue on white/grey
Triumph Adler green on light grey
Dolch white on grey/charcoal

or anything with dat purp

[cgbuen]

1. Dolch
2. Teal discolored Triumph Adler

Dolch is still by far my main choice. Classic, and the idea of the genuine 1.25x mod keys and Del/End/PgDn/numpad keys to fit US ANSI is amazing. Even though not everyone is mentioning it in the early stages of this thread, I'm sure everyone would come out to buy a set.

[IvanIvanovich]

Of course we will also do some smaller mod packs like we have set upon for the first buy, and other smaller special packs in addition to the full sets, so there will be plenty of opportunity for mix and match.

Coffee and cream set was totally brown on cream and made in those colors, not discolored. It was in my personal collection.

[phetto]

Would you mind running RGB too? 1.25, 1.5
Perhaps a few GH keys, these seem to be popular nowadays..

[sth]

olivetti, triumph-adler (preferably the muted blue-green ones with matching mods but the lime green is nice too), coffee/cream and amiga!!

it would be nice to see some tasteful sets before silly additions like rainbow, rgb, skidata colors etc. /come at me bros

[IvanIvanovich]

Goal: 2 full sets, 2 special packs each buy, do a new buy every quarter.

[Halverson]

Goal: 2 full sets, 2 special packs each buy, do a new buy every quarter.

With that in mind, I can accurately squirrel away money labelled "Cherry caps".

[SmallFry]

I would like a set of Red Alert-ish(I know not this one) or the Olivittie(I know I spelt it wrong, whoops) set.

[wiredPANDA]

I'm loving the idea of having quarterly scheduled runs. 

[Sai]

+1 this since my wallet can survive.

[Acanthophis]

I'm happy with anything dark.
Classics like Dolch or White on Black.
Something new like any bright colour on black or dark/mid greyish something or charcoal.

[IvanIvanovich]

Poll added to OP.

If making suggestion for other colorways, please be specific as to what colors. Although I know what red alert is, assume I don't.

[Halverson]

Is white on multicolour the Handarbeit?

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes, listed on form in same order as listed in OP, for ease of reference.

[Halverson]

Cool thanks....now as for second language preference....that I'll have to think about

[tinlong117]

hey lysol, have you got any price quote from GMK for full set?

[Jocelyn]

Before I vote, can anyone tell me how this may or may not effect the "IC After Klaxon group buy discussion" thread? There was some discussion about OoC/OoDG and some others, and while I preferred the potential ideas going on in that thread, specifically OoC/OoDG, I don't want to vote for something similar twice QQ

hey lysol, have you got any price quote from GMK for full set?

Would also like to know this

[mR_fRag`]

1) Dloch
2) don't mind, I voted for green on Grey, but the set I want is dolch

Just for my personnal information, what is GMK?

Will these be pbt or abs? Cherry profile or not?

Sorry for n00bs questions 

[Halverson]

Sorry for n00bs questions 

doubleshot abs
Cherry profile and font. They are using Cherry's original molds I believe.

And GMK is the company who bought and are using Cherry's old equipment.

[phetto]

In the different packs, does "SF" mean swedish-finnish?

[IvanIvanovich]

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.

[SmallFry]

I thought it was my pack? I would assume that's what it meant, but I await Lysol's final word.

in that case it seems like it'd be better to do rare keys rather than anything more common (standard cherry and dolch) since that's about the going rate for those sets at NOS prices.

We all know you are SmallFry, not SF, so of course it's not your pack!

Glad somebody remembers that I don't like SF much:)

coffee and cream sure. amiga > multicolor.

you must draw attention to yourself. don't let a keyboard do that for you or you're boring.

[IvanIvanovich]

That's true we can always just do modifier packs for the beige, black, common type stuff since they are easy to find anywhere and get back to those full sets once we reach the bottom of the list. I assume everything will get done eventually, just a matter of priority.
Also keep in mind even if these are same price or even slightly more than some old stock keyboards, you get a LOT more keys and layout options for many keyboards here.

I just like looking at colours mang, don't really care what others think of my boards But compliments are never bad.

My keyboards stays at home what does that say?

Colours are pretty awesome!

[kmiller8]

What is your secondary language layout?

Other: American

I'm not bilingual :s

[Halverson]

Tsangan, you are a ****ing boss!

[Halverson]

I'm sure you can speak English UK, aka ISO

[kmiller8]

I'm sure you can speak English UK, aka ISO

I don't understand how to work that gigantic enter.

I think it's even smaller, if you use your pinky on enter, it is farther away on the asdf row

[Hak Foo]

Just my two chon, but white on black is the least compelling.  Good laser-jobs (WASD, recent Cherry) are quite competitive, and there's a lot of POS and MY boards with black doubleshots to harvest.

I like the Dolch colourscheme and possibly the classic 0 or Amiga, because they make relatively "quiet" statements but are still classy.

[jwaz]

olivetti, triumph-adler (preferably the muted blue-green ones with matching mods but the lime green is nice too), coffee/cream and amiga!!

it would be nice to see some tasteful sets before silly additions like rainbow, rgb, skidata

[IvanIvanovich]

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?

Blank.





I'm kidding Lysol you know I love you. Anything ANSI would be pretty cool with me I guess.

[Sai]

russian !








or i hope so

Why would you have enter on that row?   :o
My pinky heads straight and true to the 1.25 area of enter key goodness on the qwer row....

You and your quirky local layouts.... enter on the asdf row... Hahaha that is a good joke....

[el2k]

1.Triumph adler
2.Dolch

[agor]

Voted. Dolch in G80-3000 Layout pls :-)

[rindorbrot]

Suggestion for the modifier pack: more 1x blanks to use as winkeys with 1.5x modifiers

[baldgye]

submitted really hoping for dolch or grey/beige sets

[absyrd]

Dolch
Skidata
