[IC] GMK Olivetti - R.I.P(canceled)

[geniekid]

So I really want a GMK set that can fit a HHKB layout.. Would that be possible? Most importantly the 1.5 delete and the 1.75 control.

This two keys would probably in the color pack. I want to keep the base set as simple as possible.

Please also keep in mind that a 1x R1 \| is needed for the HHKB layout.

[Sygaldry]

Filled out interest form. Need keys for my HHKB layout board but I'm not sure what row these keys are...

1.75u Control to replace standard CapsLock
1.75u Right Shift to replace standard 2.75u Right Shift
1.5u BS/Del to replace ANSI \| key
1u \| key to replace standard ANSI BS key
1u `~ key to replace standard ANSI BS key
1u FN key to place next to 1.75u Right Shift
1u Alt key for bottom row
1.5u Super key for bottom row

Will buy if all are made available!

Don't 1u `~ come in normal sets already? It's in the top left.

1u Alt key for bottom row
1.5u Super key for bottom row

Do you, as someone who will be using HHKB layout, think these two are necessary? I'm not a HHKB guy so I'm curious. Would 1x winkeys + 1.5x controls/alts not be good enough?

Depends how much you want the correct legend on the keycap

Yep. 

Personally, I'd rather have blank caps on the bottom row than to have them be swapped.  Normally I prefer legends of some sort to a random blank key, but in this case it would just make the entire bottom row blank which is pretty okay.

[radio_killah]

Well how much more expensive would it be to have that hhkb layout compatibility?

[tribade]

Definitely interested.  Would really like HHKB compatibility as well.

[IvanIvanovich]

Having a pair each of 1, 1.25 and 1.5 blank wouldn't be bad. Those can be useful stand in for other thing like Fn, Caps Lock (if there is row C Control), Command, etc. 1u Ctrl and Alt/Alt Gr could be useful for some other keyboards too.

[sorijealut]

I'm really hoping I could buy this set as my first keycap set!

So please let this happen! )

[cooldiscretion]

I'm in

[rpeterclark]

Very interested! Filled out the form.

[cooldiscretion]

This may have been asked before, but can someone educate me more on the A profile bottom row?  Is there some merit to having a slightly
taller keycap?  Also, did the recent GMK Dolch keyset have an A-Profile bottom row?

GMK dolch has always been BBCDEE

ABCDEE is weird IMO. No like.

ABCDEE is greatest.

[IvanIvanovich]

Wrong ABCDEF is the greatest. 

[Cherry1990]

GMK means always ABS?
Real misfortune... PBT is forever, like the original one... Otherwise I would like to buy one set!

still waiting color ring from GMK

[swornxin]

Filled out the form. If they layout is the same or similar to Ivan's Dolch or 85/15 then I will be in for sure regardless of colour choice.

I hope it's not like 85/15 because I'm not really a fan of the !@#$%^... layout. All of those special keys aren't in their regular places. It would bug me to have a keyboard with caps that don't represent the correct key strokes or, even worse as a software engineer, re-map these keys.

As long as it has the same layout of keys it should be good. I don't think that those keycap legends would work well with olivetti.

You're right. I should have just said Dolch. That set was perfect for me.

Original one was made in PBT, if I am not wrong...
I have an original double shot Cherry set from 1990... It is greasy...
Anyway the set is beautiful and colours very nice, I like it!

[deci]

[findingthelimit]

what's the status on this interest check? Does this become a group buy if we reach a certain number of people filling out the form?

[frostylove]

Can't wait to get a Olivetti set!
Blue F5~F8 is not necessary for me please don't replace the original white ones 

[TLSC.wipeOut]

Interested in one set~! =)

[Digitize]

Cross my fingers and pray to the keyboard gods that this group buy will happen.

[taylordcraig]

just wanted to throw my two cents in
L9 is too creamy and the beige used in originatives mods was too much of a red hue; careful that the grey is cool, not warm.

source: i have the gmk colors in front of me.

[gravenshard]

Cross my fingers and pray to the keyboard gods that this group buy will happen.

Hell yeah

[zhihuichan]

N5 on L9 for the alpha keys, and N5 on U9 for the modifiers keys，I think light font font color will be better.

[radio_killah]

Are you planning on text or symbol mods with this set?

Vendor subforums are a privilege granted to select vendors to advertise on geekhack, post news updates about their upcoming goods, and provide customer support by answering questions and resolving transaction issues.  Vendor subforums provide free advertisement space, and as such, vendors are expected to give something in return to the community through investing some reasonable amount of time and effort in maintaining their subforums and keeping some positive presence on our site.

Which brings us to the current state of Originative as a Commercial Vendor on geekhack.  Given Sherryton's absence from geekhack for many months and complete lack of customer support on his subforum, along with many outstanding orders that Originative is yet to fulfill, we are re-evaluating Originative's eligibility for keeping their own vendor subforum on geekhack.  We have concluded that Originative has been abusing their vendor privileges by using their free advertisement space but not putting in any effort in assisting our members with their orders, practically ignoring them, which is clear from multiple discussions on this subforum.  We are therefore taking the following actions against Originative:

• The following users: "sherryton", "hazeluff", and "originative" have had their moderation privileges revoked
• The Originative subforum has been converted to "Reply-only" format
• Representatives from Originative have one week to respond here with any statements in their defense, after which we will decide whether to archive this subforum

Please feel free to respond to this announcement with your comments.

Id be very interested in this set! Filled out the survey

Finally - this is my endgame set. Bring the olivetti GMK goodness

Oh ok, I thought crossing out the post meant that the information turned out to be wrong.

I wonder how much this chinese guy will charge for a set. If the markup isn't too bad, he chose text + icon legends and has all the necessary keys I am definitely interested.

I crossed it because I don't have much detail information about it.

It's a full set, includes almost everything you need.

[yicaoyimu]

The information is correct and those caps will arrive in China this month with no doubt (together with the same set with red legend). But I don't know how plan to sell them. They have to be authorized vendor to sell them here.
