There will also be an add on pack with a number of blanks, extra windowed function keys, some relegendable, A profile mods... 1x mods, etc. I just haven't gotten the quote for it yet so I can't update the form properly... I just left that in as a placeholder.
Basically it will be an add on for all the 'deluxe' things that were cut for cost savings out of the main kit plus some. Now with the lower MOQ it is even more feasible to cater to some of the want list as options.
White on black set with separated bottom row orderability and individually ordered spacebars, dont want to pay for a complete set for just spacebar and winkeyless bottom row modifiers.
And a white on purple modifiers rerun please but with ALL the modifiers on a keyboard (F5-F8, arrow keys, ins delete etc. and numpad enter plussign asterisk etc.)
But the purple keys that wasnt in the original groupbuy should be ordered separately so that people that already have a white on purple wouldnt have to pay for the same keys again.

Are these demands for this GB or for a new GB?

This might be too late but, can a r2 1.5 delete key be added?

It's the only thing left needed for a hhkb layout.

I can see a comprehensive base set as is for order here, it's hard enough to get anything to an order stage.
This is what's available - order two sets right now or you might not get anything!

Please let that add on pack have 2 1x1 alt keys and 1.5x1 blanks :)

Yeah unfortunately there wasn't enough interest in the other languages even with the new lower MOQ. I may try it again in the future with other language options, but for now we will just try to get in our first set with US/GB.

How many sets am I in for? I can't actually remember if I had ordered already when there were all the different sets.

If I have more than 1 for the main set, please change it to 1 main and 1 addon if possible :)

Edit: change it to 1 main and 1 addon even if I'm only in for 1 main so far :P

I think I ordered this… not quite sure though. I'll probably still be up for one set, even without language options it's still an ISO option.
Although I'd be very interested in the exact addon set to decide wether I need it or not. (So far it seems there could be two keys I might want, which is a bit expensive :D)

No the add on pack will be all white/dark grey too. It's mostly just going to be extra things that are interesting/fun and/or things needed for other physical layouts like 1800 for example, plus a selection of blank/generic keys for those that would rather not use US/GB specific keys, Windows legend keys, etc.
I'm just trying to tone the extras down to get a lower cost so it will actually make MOQ as well, but still trying to balance having all the right keys so there is enough interest to make MOQ... it's tough.

I will do some other colorful smaller sets in next minipacks in a few month.

Row C and row B Control and Caps Locks are already in the base set.

Yes classic adapter packs are for sure on the to do list in both white/black and black/beige. I will do those in next mini packs if someone else doesn't get to it first.

Compared to the colors in Originative GMK Dolch set, is the dark grey more closed to the grey of alpha keys or the black of mod keys? The picture in OP seems very closed to Cherry original WoB double shot set, which is what I've been looking for. Is this set similar to Cherry original WoB set?

Black is CR, the color we will be using is N9, the one to the left of it in the photo. It's a pretty dark grey or light black... whatever you prefer to call it.

Ivan can you check if I have an order in this? I honestly can't remember. If you have the capability of PM'ing me the URL for my form that would be great.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

N9 is what the Dolch mods are, which is what I intended to do from the beginning. If everyone prefer CC we can do that instead.
We went from 155 to 137 sets in the last couple days. I suppose it's due to the Korean Dolch buy? I'm really wondering if this will ever make it. I think it's kind of funny sad since for $10 more you get a MUCH larger set here.

I would much prefer N9. Maybe we should do a poll for the color? That Korean Dolch GB is rediculously pricy IMO.

Yes it is pricy, but I wonder why it may be pulling people out of this one. Maybe the colors in the other better fit the concept of Dolch with darker mods.

Dolch alpha is CC. I think 2 factors would pull people out of this in favor of Korean Dolch buy... 1 it is a sought after colorway, and 2 it's already at MOQ almost so better chance it get finished sooner.

This was two tone initially, wasn't it? But unfortunately I probably have to go with neither if this doesn't make it. Those damn ANSI-US GBs get the bulk of the orders, but every fancy keyboard or custom layout is royally ****ed.

I like colour N9 - I think it will go well with lots of different mods unlike a lighter colour.
I like the legends - spot on.
I like the price - all the keys you could want for a reasonable GB price.
I don't like that this GB doesn't ever seem like it's going to happen :/

I am also a fan of N9 for the reason gojira54 noted.

Although I have not seen it in person, looking at various photos of GMK dolch sets around the internet, I think it is actually a tad bit lighter than the sample picture Ivan posted would suggest.

I would imagine there is still sufficient UK interest in this set simply because it includes an ISO kit and at a very reasonable price.

Well help spread the word around again outside of here, and maybe we can get interest back up again so we can make it happen.
After a lot of debating... I think I am going to skip any additional add on packs for this. It's too hard to get something reasonable put together that have a good price that I think would even have a chance to make MOQ since this is struggling as it is.

I think it would be a good idea to set a dead line for signing in this GB. Then, you could start the others you have in mind. I think mod set for black and beige and a second round of purple mods may interest people more.
