[GB] GMK Classic Beige

[ideus]

Check billnye's Bluegaloo and add 5 row (A Profile) bottom row for winkey-less boards; any decent black on beige kit should have them.

No. You don't want a set as large as that. Also, why would you need 1.5u keys when the original set you're converting already has them?

A beige modifiers set replica should have row 5 profile mods to be faithful to the original. Bluegaloo already has 1.5u mods, it is just a matter of make them row 5 profile if interested parties want them.

In my case I do not use 1.25u mods, but that is irrelevant; I'd say, give the potential buyers the option and let them decide, I will buy the modifiers set with B or A mods profile, as long as it has 1.5 mods, otherwise I cannot use it.

Played a bit with the mockups this afternoon, imo this would make a solid moggle kit.
Possibly remove the grey pipeline and some of the capslock/Ctrl key.
The reason for 2.75&1.75 Rshift is so people with a 1800 keyset can put it on TKL people with a WKL keyset can have a split Rshift.

Let the row 5 live.

No, you misunderstand.

The purpose of a moogle kit is to convert a commonly available original set. In this case it's an original Cherry doubleshot beige set, which 99.9% of the time comes with 1.5u A-profile bottom row. Therefore having 1.5u keys in the moogle kit is pointless. It should contain only 1.25u bottom row keys, and perhaps arrow/numpad keys in B-profile for a full, matching bottom row.

Are you proposing a Row 5 standard bottom row? Would GMK have molds for that?

When azhdar mentioned this this is what I came up with. Mine has a good bit of keys though, a considerable amount more

i would do center caps, stepped windows caps, and center windowed caps, both iso shift and enter and pipeline, ansi shift and enter and pipeline, short shift,  long shift, full 1.25 bottom row, w/o space bar, full 1.5 r4 bottom row, w/o spacebar, r5 winkeys, hhkb/70/1800 adapter
 and then offer spacebars separately

What you say has a lot of sense and I got you since the first post that you wrote on this. But you should consider that some of us old boring Joes with existing OG Cherry sets may want to get a couple of extra mod sets to pair with existing alpha sets. But, I really want to have this done, that I'd buy a set, even if it does not have the beloved row A bottom row, just for the sake of supporting the GB, however, I cannot use it as I have my boards configured with 1.5u mods, and I prefer the taller mods, but who cares, do it as you want, I will be in, anyway.

[asgeirtj]

Maybe this set would reach moq as a moogle kit?  Would be awesome to be able to get these replacements for bsp beige:  right shift (because it's warped), spacebar, r4 ctrl&alts&win, numpad set because the bsp one is R5, regular caps lock, 1,75 shift, r4 number row, grey f5-f8.

[jaffers]

I'd be super happy to jump back on this group buy to give it another go but it would have to be next year. I've got a lot on my plate currently, especially with christmas coming up. Still, I really really want this set, its the keycaps part of my endgame for mx switches

You are speaking for my feeling exactly.

This needs to happen, sooner or later.

Love it, could use at least 3 of those kits

I would also get two moogle sets like this. But I'd hope for a R5 1u Win Key with the Win8/10 logo.

[Crossfire]

Is there anything we could do that will make it happen? anything?
I'll write to Santa anyway...

[ideus]

Now that sets in standard colors have lower MoQ it may happen.

+1 on lower MOQ. How many orders do we get last time? Do we have a chance with lower MOQ?

[Crossfire]

How many moq are we speaking? I can lend a hand with european orders, namely, keysets will be made in germany, so why bother the trip to other continent and back?
Maybe we should spread the word more when it's ready because the cherry classic is getting more and more popular...

European orders for this buy were always going to ship from the EU (from photekq in UK).  Only US/non-EU were going to ship from USA.

[Crossfire]

Very well thought out, too bad it didn't materialize...I really hope it will evenutally, we just need a word from OP if it's still doable after what has happened.

Im so pissed this didnt go through

Why hasn't massdrop done this yet?

That would require them to understand keyboards.

Well they usually take ideas from here and just run them regardless.

[CommonCurt]

If MD did it the set would probably come with the horrible win8 logo 

[xqwtz]

I need this set.

[kekstee]

I cannot remember split addon sets doing well if it wasn't a colour option. The keys for good keyboard coverage should just be in base.

lol even unicorn vomit gmk sets get wayyy too much hate on there. Can you imagine what people would say if it was this much for a "stupid boring beige set".

wow that is indeed a stupid boring beige set.  i would not order one of these.

(it would be more like two or three...)

Everybody needs stupid boring beige. But preferably with all matching keys....

That is a good question.

Could be from a Portuguese layout Cherry board or from a G80-2100HDU

Have you ever considered to re-run the GB now with the lower MoQ that GMK has for common colors?

[Photekq]

Have you ever considered to re-run the GB now with the lower MoQ that GMK has for common colors?

Lower MOQ = higher costs. I don't think the price would be reasonable at 150 units, so it doesn't grab me too much.

It makes sense, it is a shame a classic set like this did not reach MoQ, thank you for trying.

Yes, portuguese. Unfortunately my beige ANSI set is very light on the alpha color, so it doesn't match completely.
//e and then there is the issue of this stuff being on my table, not the GH60 which probably never arrives. Enough time for a rerun of this next year :3

2nded. You'd think everyone who doesn't have a set of OG Cherrys would have these at the top of their list. I'm in for a set, or 2 if it would help reach MOQ, if photek decides try again some day.

Win 98 keys are the only way

Definitely, the new Win key looks out of place on classic sets.
