[IC] RGBYK 2022 - Available To Purchase Now!
« on: Tue, 24 May 2022, 16:53:53 »



    PrestonWalzDesignStudio presents, GMK + DCS RGBYK Add-on kits (RGB 2022)!
    It's no secret, this colorway isn't new to keycaps. It's put simply, classic and timeless. RGB accents are a must-have for your 50 beige/9009 colorways, or whatever you see fit! I'm deciding to offer both GMK and DCS for this project. To be clear, the two profiles will be sold in GB as two separate listings in the same timeframe, and produced/shipped separately in conjunction with GMK and Signature Plastics estimates. If you want to purchase both GMK and DCS RGBY, you will essentially be joining two different group buys that will ship independently. I'm just keeping everything on only one Geekhack IC to keep things simple and organized.



    GMK RGBYK Add-on kit

    • GMK - Cherry profile
    • Materials - ABS plastic
    • Legends - Double-shot Cherry legends
    • Row height - R4 -R4 - R4 - R5 - R4 - R5 - R4 - R5
    • Colors - P3, N7, V4, CV, CR



    Retail price (US): $60

    Minimum order quantity: 250



    DCS RGBYK Add-on kit

    • Signature Plastics - DCS profile
    • Materials - ABS plastic
    • Double-shot Cherry legends. Alternative Gorton Mods are included as well.
    • R4 -R4 - R4 - R4 - R4 - R4 - R4 - R4
    • Colors - RPA, VDX, BHC, YY, NN




    Retail price (US): $60

    Minimum order quantity: 150



    Vendors:
    NA - Thockeys
    CA - Deskhero
    EU - Mykeyboard
    UK - Prototypist
    KR - Swagkeys
    OCE - DailyClack

    GB date: August 16 - September 16, 2022

    What do you think of the set? Any feedback is taken into consideration for the set: https://forms.gle/MRHFGj9ikEQBC1EN7



    No keyboard renders for now, you can find plenty of photos online to get the idea across. If there's demand, I can work something out.



    - Classic!
    - Timeless!
    - A must-have for your beige/9009 keysets!

    If this is referencing DCS 9009, why would I want cherry legend keycaps to go with my dcs 9009 that uses wyse?

    Colors are still being worked on, 100% stock colors is the ideal turnout.

    WYSE is entirely dependent on interest. I edited the caption above the DCS render after posting, I apologize.

    This is so extremely low effort.

    This set ran two years ago, which is fine. I think it’s been enough time maybe to justify a rerun. It looks like, however, you didn’t care enough to look at the previous kitting to realize you’re missing some very important things. Why would I want to use text + icon mods on my 9009? What if my beige set is r5? Should I just use r4 on part of the bottom row? Cherry legends on DCS? You haven’t even to bother to list the colors you’re going to use. Do you even know what colors to use?

    You just announced you’re last gb failed after spamming every social media outlet to beg everyone to buy it. Now you come in with some low effort garbage a day later. Slow down and think.

    Show Image

    tbh, what sets are out there aside from dcs sleeper, dcs midnight and that one version of wob, using cherry legends on dcs? not even mentioning that the sets using cherry legends off the top of my head(aside from sleeper) likely won't even fit with this theme-wise, noting this, wouldn't only WYSE/Gorton legends be the default play since even vintage DCS uses thin legends?

    Slow down and think clearly. Stop rushing. Listen to feedback. Amend as needed.
    Mountaineering was rushed to GB, this isn't the way to bounce back from that.

    Would like for you to work on getting better renders. I wouldn't mind an RGB accent kit becoming available, but you should know what the stock colors are. There's a lot that could've been done to make this set better overall.

    DAY 1 UPDATE

    Kitting adjusted due to feedback. RGBY GMK and DCS color codes have been listed.

    Notes:

    - Added R5 key support.
    - Added icon-only modifiers.
    - All colors are listed. Entirely stock GMK and SP colors. This should help keep cost low.

    I want everyone who wants RGBY accents to be able to have them without issues. Please continue providing constructive feedback so I can further improve this product.
    (WYSE legends are still being considered!)

    Thanks to everyone who took time to view my IC, and especially those who filled out the IC form.

    DCS KITTING UPDATE

    Further improvements have been applied to DCS kitting, I think they're worth mentioning.

    - Replaced R5 keys with R4 Gorton legend modifiers. DCS kit now includes full support for both Cherry and Gorton legends. To me, this is better than scrapping DCS cherry support entirely, or making two DCS kits with one having Cherry and the other Gorton legends.
    - Additional 1u R4 FN key added with Gorton legends.

    Definitely going to keep bumping to a minimum from here, reserving only for important/larger updates. Just wanted to bring attention to today's kitting update, the update contained changes that could've potentially affected certain viewer interests.

    (Yes, I'm aware this comment bumps the project)  :D

    Hello Geekhack,
    1.25u + 1.5u ''alt gr'' added to GMK and DCS RGBY Accent Kits.
     
    Thanks for everyone's excellent suggestions/feedback so far! If you haven't already, please complete the interest check to give input, and express your interest level for this project. (It takes maybe 1-2 minutes!)

    I've seen some IC responses/comments expressing concern for vendor complications, due to the fact this set is shown in GMK and DCS. To clear up any confusion, the two kits are separate projects, they're just on one single IC to keep things simple. The two will run in the same timeframe as two SEPARATE group buy listings, meaning they will be produced - shipped - and delivered in conjunction with their own SP/GMK lead times.

    *Everything I said above was said in the IC project description, please read it!*

    If you want to purchase both GMK and DCS RGBY, you will essentially be joining two different group buys that will ship independently. I hope this helped, please notify me of any further questions you may have, thank you!

    Given that running both at the same time is likely to cannibalise sales, wouldn't it make sense to just pick a single manufacturer and put all your effort into that IC/GB?

    Beyond that, GMK Hineybeige is planning on running with a RGB kit at a similar time. Seems to overlap with your estimated date.

    I think that these keycaps are missing:
    1U R4/R5 <AltGr>
    2U R4 Shift
    +1 more 2.25U R4 Shift (should be: 1x 1.25U, 1x 1.75U, 1x 2U, 2x 2.25U, 1x 2.75U)

    I've checked sest: GMK Striker R2, GMK Muted R2, GMK Rudy R2 + their extensions kits = 6 shifts

    Thockeys is capable of being a vendor for GMK keysets, however, cannot be a lead vendor yet.

    I wish you the best with logistics tbh. I know it's not classic or vintage or really related to any existant board but having rgby dcs in wyse is something I'm really looking forward to. It will let me retrofit r4 and r5 to hhkb and other layouts with my vintage dcs that I just picked up

    Pretty awesome to see an RGBYK kit again, however while it's cool to see the DCS RGB here, I for one would rather have seen an RGBYW GMK kit instead. We really haven't seen a kit offered like that in a long time, and especially with the widespread use of WoB it's certainly something that a full-fledged kit (yes I know that GMK Thinkcaps had its own sort of RGBYW kit, however it isn't all that complete) would be great for, especially with that beautiful R5 support.

    I intend on developing a fully decked out RGBYW set soon after GMK + DCS RGBY, featuring R5 support, wide kitting, and more! :)

    I want it :)

    Me too.

    I wish you the best with logistics tbh. I know it's not classic or vintage or really related to any existant board but having rgby dcs in wyse is something I'm really looking forward to. It will let me retrofit r4 and r5 to hhkb and other layouts with my vintage dcs that I just picked up

    Thank you! I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to the set.

    idea: add red <Esc>

    I want to offer this project as a, ''no frills'' RGBYK kit. Implying, no extra add-on keys other than those necessary. It helps keep pricing low as well.
    Thanks for the suggestion.



    UPDATES:
    - RGBY''K'' now.
    - GMK RGBY red has been switched from GMK stock V1 to GMK stock P3.
    - You may have noticed, the kit renders are brand new!
    - I'm nearly finished with reviewing quotes, and optimizing pricing for GMK + DCS RGBY kits. Ideally, I expect to release full retail pricing sometime this week... group buy date reveal too?


    That's now for all, thanks for everyone's continued support, and feedback so far!

    This kinda stuff just hurts to see these days,

    if your gonna run something og at least give enough of a **** to do all the background work before posting an IC, doing this kinda stuff on a set this small and quite frankly simple is depressing.
    weeb sets have more effort.

    OK, OK, understand ... what about +2 sets with CP legends? O:-)

    I'm just trying ;-) ... but maybe GMK RGBK 2023?

    A fully fledged RGBYW kit is definitely in the works. I want to run group buy soon after GMK + DCS RGBYK 2022.

    If you are offering both R4 and R5 support, there are enough mods to cover two boards if you add one more FN-key.
    One board with Icon mods and one board with Icon+Text mods.

    It seems that the DCS set has two of them but not the GMK one.

    Another inspiration: GMK RGBYK Add-on Kit (GMK RGB 2020)

    Idea how to keep set smaller: I saw that for WoB sets would be better legends in CP colour (GMK ThinkCaps). What about:
    1) add orange R4/R5 <Menu>
    2) split set to 3:
    2.1) R4 rows only with CR legends
    2.2) R4 rows only with CP legends
    2.3) R5 rows only with CR/CP legends ... with R1 <Esc> and R3 1.75U <Control> ?

    Hi!
    I'll def consider your suggestions for RGBYW. If I'm understanding correctly.. you're suggesting 3 child kits? I don't see this happening, because I want to avoid multiple MOQ's for a set like this.
    Hope that makes sense, thanks!

    Hello Geekhack,

    First I'd like to give a huge thanks to everyone's patience and dedication to the project, I've been working hard to finalize GMK + DCS RGBYK 2022.
    • Added second R4 FN-key to GMK kit. This enables there to be enough keys to cover two of your keyboards. ex.) you can have one keyboard with icon only RGB mods mounted, and another with icon+text RGB mods mounted.
    After applying all the feedback since launching this IC, I'm happy with the turnout in terms of the final kitting and overall project quality. We were able to optimize pricing to hit $60 USD for both GMK + DCS RGBYK 2022, which is equivalent to the original GMK RGBYK Add-on kit run in 2019.

    GMK + DCS RGBYK 2022, will launch at the same time on August 16th and will run until September 16th.

    • GMK RGBYK 2022 will run at 250 MOQ. $60 USD
    • DCS RGBYK 2022 will run at 150 MOQ. $60 USD

    Stay tuned for the separate GB threads for GMK + DCS RGBYK 2022.

    Thanks again for your time!

    Hiney is running RGBYK with GMK Hineybeige, it will almost certainly be at a larger MOQ so I'm not sure why this is running.
    What set is the DCS kit even supposed to compliment?

    GMK RGBYK 2020 used V1 as the stock red, do you plan on following?

    Up to you really because it's an accent kit, but to name a few:
    • DCS 9009
    • DCS BOW from PMK
    • Even Deadbeats (though it's DCS PBT)
