Does anyone by chance know how the WS1 white used here, compares to the white on Enjoypbt BoW?

WS1 is a pretty normal white, it's not warm, or dull, or overly bright. WS2 (which is on monochrome but not in this image) is more of the stark bright white like epbt BoW is

jamon core is $99 with custom color.
WS1 is stock color. it makes more sense and more reasonable if price start from 99 , then drop down to 89 when hitting MOQ 500.

It is, sales so far are actually pretty much on par with Modern Dolch so who knows: we might hit 500 MOQ!

At €89 vendors would be selling at a loss.

Also, AFAIK colours don't impact price, Jamon actually was $114.99 at 250 MOQ (so more than Minimal) and only dropped down to 99.99 at 500 (just like Minimal) + I have heard from multiple "reputable sources" now that Massdrop gets better deals from GMK and thus are able to offer lower pricing (or make more profit I guess).

Is everyone a GMK pricing expert all of a sudden in this thread? Massdrop is a gigantic business compared to Dixie/Mykeyboard/etc, they've been working with GMK for years, I don't see how the $99 at 500 units here is a point of contention or being compared to Jamón. I'm all for lower prices for the community, for myself if nothing else, I just don't think it's appropriate to be bringing it up in this particular instance.

GMK still has a much higher quality than epbt imo, if you dont hate abs.

So… this has come up a few times by others and hasn't been responded to yet… and I need to know before I make any purchase. The ortho kit has a critical issue that is going to turn away potential buyers if not addressed for a kit that will probably already struggle to hit MOQ. The standard is for a Row 2 TAB and a Row 3 ESC, and that is what a lot of people use. The renders have those keys reversed (Row 2 ESC and Row 3 TAB), and the kit layout also implies the same. Please clarify/update us so we know what the plan is, I'm sure more than a handful of people might overlook this point assuming they are getting the standard offering only to find out later that the profile on 2 keys is wrong. I would be incredibly upset if that were to happen to me. I don't mean to harp on this, but it's kind of frustrating to not know this important detail for what is otherwise a fantastic set. :) Thanks!

Yes sorry about this. I'll be making a fixed render and getting it out to vendors ASAP.
Is the - kit going to stay R2 ESC and R3 TAB or switch to R2 TAB and R3 ESC? I’m definitely interested in this set, but I use the default Planck layout which uses R3 ESC.

I'm in for a base set + numpad from the EU proxy but I have a question: does anybody here know what color code is the white in the Massdrop GMK WoB set? I'm thinking of mixing the two sets and having the same white would be a bonus.

Same colors as Minimal - CR base, WS1 legends - so you're good.

I'm getting this to mix with GMK Metaverse.

Yeah, that'äs what I love about GMK stock colors!

However, be careful with the mix and match. Mixing mods probably isn't the best idea, as minimal is text mods while WoB on MD is text+icon.

I imagine accenting arrows and ESC for example would be nice, but enter would look kinda off to me personally. Good luck!

Good point, mixing text modifiers with icon ones might be tricky.

At the risk of sounding like a ****, which is not my intention. Its a price break of $10. Just have some ramen cup dinners instead of your usuals....

MOQ has indeed been met!!! Sales are about on par with Modern Dolch when comparing how much that sold after the same amount of time, so 500 MOQ might be possible!!! Also, while MOQ for the - and + kit has not been hit yet it's fair to say that they will be made for sure since we're coming close and the GB still will be live for some time.

Pretty sure Dixie will refund you the difference (10 dolalrs in this case), after the drop ends.

Around 250 indeed, don't have updated sales from all vendors so can't give an exact number. Still pretty much inline with Modern Dolch sales (- 10 base kits or something) so 500 MOQ definitely is possible.
