I offered the white/purple nav kit in the interest check during the white/dark stuff but it didn't make it. Might revisit it someday.

I set this deadline 1 Dec. so there is time to have production to get before the holiday. If it dosen't make MOQ then production won't be until later in Q1 2014.

Edit:

Had to answer the phone before I could submit my post - then Ivan ninjad me :p


I'm still waiting for the promised white-on-purple cursor/nav key set.

Ivan never promised this nav set.

He tried to do it in his last GMK GB attempt, but there were not even enough people interested in it.

I can't understand why, too. I'd love to expand my Purple Mod set from 60% to full TKL, but apparantly most of the other users who helped reach MOQ don't care for it that much.

So there will probably never be a purple nav set. That's the unfortunate truth :(

1st Ivan GB I joined all 3 packs, but this time I only like the orange pack and the Esc pack. I see nothing special in the other 2 packs.... maybe because I see nothing to mix and match them with  :blank:

Definitely interested in this too, much prefer scoops.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

I thought it would be interesting to have center dot nubs, as only very few set like Desko have it, just something different.

Scoops is best.  So much quicker and easier for me to find home keys with them.

I’m sure everyone except newbies like me already know the drill.

So GMK = cherry profile + thick PBT + dyesub?

Would have been great if this is spelled out in the 1st post to help out the noobs :)

GMK=Cherry profile ABS doubleshots. GMK now owns all (or at least the vast majority though it seems some legend variants may have been lost over the years) the original tooling that Cherry used for their doubleshots from 1984-2010.

Put in a new order, only really wanted the orange set for the ESC and the scoops so its a bit pricey for me now considering I'll only use the Esc.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Why wasn't there an interest check for this though? To vote on colors and other things? To hit GMK's high MOQ it would be good to make sure everyone gets what they want.

Wish I could keep the order just for the sake of MOQ but with all the group buys coming up I need to keep purchases to stuff that's going to get used. This place is total wallet domination!

There was no interest check because A - I am trying to get this done to get in on fast track production before the winter holidays period, and B - I like to think I have a good idea of what can fly and what can't by now.
Nubs, Scoops... why not both? I doubt it would bump the price up more than $3, I will check.

I actually thought about suggest doing both but I didn't want to rock the boat! I'll be back in if it winds up happening.

I wasn't trying to critize you, you've done an amazing job with these groupbuys and I respect your decision. That said, I think having nubs and scoops would be a great solution.

Actually in this case it's a great idea, with the two different sized space bars you could theoretically cover two boards with the one pack.
