Yeah too many good ones lately I could only mentally afford 1 of these :lul:can someone please add a link to this thread from the GB thread. that'll help for people who had that other thread on watch.

haha sorry i dunno the best way to ask.
since when did you become a mod? congrats man. pls don't ban me.
also to stay on topic, i'll probably order this set. people need to stop making nice gmk sets since i have no self control.
Would recommend updating the original comment or the render, for visibility's sake, that one of the 1.5u alt and 1.5u ctrl keys will be replaced with super and code respectively meaning a symmetrical ctrl/alt tsangan layout with this set will not be possible.

but muh hhkb
just add them on top of the 1.5u ctrls and alts, don't replace them
For every 25 kits sold, we'll be giving away a themed artisan made by the wonderful Keybai to a lucky buyer!

Alrighty everyone! The 1.5u situation has been solved! Just an unfortunate oversight. There will be 2 1.5u Control and Alt caps, and 1 1.5u Code and Super caps. The render has been updated on the product page and should be updated here shortly. :)

Just to be clear.. for a person ordering a single Base set from Dixiemech to a US address the shipping cost seems to show it is $1.50 and 'STICKER ONLY SHIPPING (Envelope)', for a total of $161.50
is this correct?
Before going through a full purchase I'd like to know if things are all working as expected.
edit: nevermind.. other shipping options have appeared once getting further in the process... though the sticker only option is the default, which may throw some people off.

asia proxy is only china zfrontier??
en.zfrontier is not included?
Why is the ISO enter not in the accented colourway, while the 1.75U enter is?
Ikr :confused:Why is the ISO enter not in the accented colourway, while the 1.75U enter is?
Well that's weird lol
Why is the ISO enter not in the accented colourway, while the 1.75U enter is?
I understand why you don't include both, as sets like Laser and Nautilus included the non-accent ISO enter in the NorDe kit.
In for it...just wish those purple arrow keys had made in in :(Yeah I'd have liked a lot more accent coloured keys.
I would really like to join but I believe both dixiemech and mykeyboard.eu don't ship to Thailand. And well, I can't read Chinese. :(
Could it just that they forgot to add it to the en siteI would really like to join but I believe both dixiemech and mykeyboard.eu don't ship to Thailand. And well, I can't read Chinese. :(
Just confirmed with zFrontier that they are doing only for Chinese (China, HK etc)
So if both of them don't ship to SEA we are fked.

Will a base kit be enough for the Massdrop CTRL and Kira Kickstarter keyboards? I'm new to mechanical keyboards so I want to make sure I buy the appropriate keycaps. Thank you.
I'm new to group buys on geekhack. If we don't get the 150 MOQ on dixie mech, it means we get refunded the money and the purchase does not go through. Is that correct?

I was looking at these to further accent this kit: https://www.originativeco.com/products/accent-keys-one
Not sure if the purple is DY or not though

Correct.
Except the MOQ is shared between dixi and all the proxys, if those combined are 150 (or close to in most cases as GMK is pretty generous as far as I can tell) it will be made.

On the base kit image on the first page, the legend tells you what color is used.. for 'Various Keys' (the accent keys) it says the base color is DY...
the originative keys appear to be using the same base color...... the legends would mismatch though!
Maybe if someone was willing to we could run a separate gb with iso enter, wasd and arrows^^
Edit: actually if the involved parties would be ok with this i would take this in my hands, would ask gmk for quotes for different moqs (if possible something like 50/100/150) and post quick interest checks here and on reddit. From there on we could see how to proceed further.
I guess it would be easier if voxicle or dixi could offer this as they have an open channel to GMK anyways and also have proxys at the ready. But whatever happens I need a purple iso enter 😂

I'll see what I can do. Would only be like 8 keys to make everyone happy, not sure how much that'll cost, but we can probably give it a whirl and see if we can hit MOQ on a tiny accent kit.

Yes, but R1/2 use the same colors for the alphas. So these would be the correct colors for those as well.
Looks good!

The R2 Esc wont be centered, just came out that way on the render app
Perfect as far as I am concerned.
Thanks for all the effort and I sincerely hope we don’t fail you.

Will they ship together if the base kit is in another order? Don't really want to pay for shipping twice.

Are you talking about in-switch or underglow? Looking at the Kira and the CTRL > they have in-switch. Don't expect any light to shine -through- the caps but only on the sides. With in-switch leds you can still see enough but it's not as much as a keyboard with backlit keycaps. For example, check out this pic of my GK64 with in-switch leds and the stock caps. These are NOT gmk keycaps, not double shot and thinner. Leds are on the brightest setting; https://imgur.com/VucAElf
Hey everyone, we've had a lot of orders today and I'm entirely confident in saying that MOQ has been reached! Even if we come up a little short on the accent it, we'll take care of it :thumb: GMK Violet Tendencies is getting made! Of course, we still want more people to have this on their desk, so keep those orders rolling in, it's crunch time!
Many thanks to everyone for the support!
Blegh you guys convinced me I finally joined. Now to try and forget i ordered this so I can be pleasantly surprised when it arrives.

Really happy to see this! saw that tomorrow was the last day and both spacebar kit and accent kit are juuuuust under MOQ. Thank you for handling this!
First ever GMK set, can't wait :D
In for base + deskpad. Will go on either my Melody96 or Kira, depending on which I like better. The loser will get SA Carbon.
Ooops, I meant to order tonight but was watching Westworld and totally forgot it was 12 east coast not west >_<. Oh well, my fault for waiting.
Ooooooohhhweeeeeeee!!! The countdown begins!
Wish I saw this before :( Will there be any extras?
I got in on the key set but passed on the desk mat. Are you going to have extras of those as well?Wish I saw this before :( Will there be any extras?
There will be extras in Sept after the GB orders ship :) But it looks like they're going to go fast, so keep an eye out.

if the mods are tooooooo dark you could always grab a set of these for a fun pink/purple set.Show Image(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0267/1905/products/magenta_dolch_1024x1024.jpg?v=1500870052)

What mods are these? Unfortunately the completely illegible mod text is kinda ruining this set for me. I'd love to pick something up like that.
I'm pretty happy with the way the set turned out. I'd never intended the mods to be bright. But I can see how some might think it's a bit muddled and doesn't contrast well. This was my first set design, first interaction with GMK, first everything. I trusted that everything would look how it did in their (GMK's) renders, and honestly, to me, they do. I'm sorry (truly) if the kit doesn't meet up to what you'd hoped. As others have said, there are a lot of people that really want the set even after seeing the pictures, so you should have no problem unloading them. If you are extremely unsatisfied, let me know, and I'll see if I can help mediate a trade or buy, or dig up some money I don't have and buy the set back from you :)
That being said, stay tuned in the following weeks for a Violet surprise ;)

Like you said, there wasn't a ton of contrast in any of the renders.
That being said, stay tuned in the following weeks for a Violet surprise ;)
In some renders there is, in others there isn't. Perhaps some of us, including me, looked to much to the pretty renders on boards instead of the one provided by GMK.
Having that said, I'll have to wait untill keyboard is ready before I judge, haven't seen the set in daylight, haven't seen it on a board yet, so I'll have to wait and see. Right now I'm happy I finally got it and excited to see how it will look on a keyboard :)
That being said, stay tuned in the following weeks for a Violet surprise ;)

I’m very much looking forward to the Violet Outburst kit Voxicles teased on Reddit this week. I hope to see a gb thread for that soon to complement VT

Is there an ETA for the IC on Violet Outburst?
So I just recieved my set, I have to admit, I was expecting a purple hydro and what I'm looking at right now, I dont know what tf this is.... Try to tell me you planned to have these mods illegible is absolutely junk.. Thanks for not putting in the extra work, making sure that this set would actually come out with mods you could read. Congrats! This set has to be in the top running for biggest letdown of 2018, I mean I guess everyone got their orders, so it could he worse... lmfao. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The solution is pretty simple. Get samples made, like lots of other sets do, show us pictures of them, and get feedback. It would of course take longer, but this hobby is all about waiting for things to be juuuust right.And go from stock to custom colors mid GB and also increasing moq from 150 to 250 MID GB... you can NOT make those changes when people already committed their money especially when (let me quote Voxicles here) "The original IC had custom colors, and I was called an idiot many times over for not just using stock GMK colors because "it'd never hit 250 moq", and they were right(ish). After a few months of debate, that's what I decided on, and I still stand by it.".

Wow some serious butthurt in here :)) My set looks like the renders. Its dark purple on dark grey. I don't think I've ever seen a render for this set that has super contrasty mods, not sure how you guys bought it expecting anything other than what is shown in the renders. If you cant afford to spend money on something that only exists in a render maybe you shouldn't have hit the button.
oh no lol the money doesn't matter lol isnt really a lot its more of a disappointment lol, This is my only set that isnt an IMSTO or og dye subs set so that says a lot about how hyped i was for the set

If you think it's the same as the renders you're blind... Keep backing up the failure of the illegible mods saying you like it, congrats all your proving is that you're trying to cover someones ass..
Was told you guys might enjoy this image of Violet Tendencies on my JD40. Are the mods acceptable looking?

ok ok ok ok ok people
I will be the first to say I was beyond hype for this set, I msg vox back in January asking him to hurry up with the set, i dont even use gmk and i still bought this set because of how nice I thought it would be, I was so damn hyped
But to say this set is even decent at this point is crazy, the alphas are mint like ****ing mint but those mods are some of the worst mods ive literally ever seen, in almost any lighting they are just black caps and you can't even see the text and the only time you see the mods texts in when the light it directly on the single caps and even then the ****ing legends are still barely readable
so don't go saying this is a good set cause it's not its a failure, The set is not even relatable to the renders we got ( yes i know renders arent always the same)
Like did anyone even ****ing get samples or were yall just like **** it run the set, cause if you had even 1 sample youd have known this **** doesnt cut it for a gmk set
this doesnt even cut it for a cheap pbt set
i bought 2 kits, accent kit, and the mat and tbh the best thing in the gb was the mat i wish i had just bought like 10 mats because that would have been a better use of my money, id have rather waited 2 months for better mods than a rushed this set
so no one say this set is good or decent cause no its terrible imo it's unusable

GMK never really does samples for non custom color buys because they are standard.
I don’t get how it’s unusable. Do you actually look at the keyboard when you type?
Maybe when I run black lotus I will pitch GMK running a small batch of replacement mods in n9 with whatever custom lavender we end up with. Maybe they would let me do a lower moq. I’ll definitely ask about it tho since the lighter purple should be ideal and n9 is stock and GMK seems to like good Will
Renders definitely identical to the set as u can see in the pics 🤣Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180921/be6332b2ecbc54d560fbf3f8727b97c7.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180921/bf0e27e15524f286c596d7c4d6a6df16.jpg)

I think the point is that the lighting in the render matches this situation.

Anybody here that bought this and also has GMK Dolch? I wanna know how the set looks with Dolch mods instead of just buying Dolch for nothing :PHere you go, sry for bad lighting and potato cam and laziness to swap them all but I think you get the gist. IMHO it looks pretty good and way more understated than the lazer mods I currently have equipped.
You sir, are a legend! How does it look together irl, better than the mods that come with it? Worth the investment? Since I have the set on a YAS keyboard with triple 1u bottom row (control-win-alt) I can't just pick up every other Dolch set but I need the bigger ones.Anybody here that bought this and also has GMK Dolch?

Well folks, again, I really do understand all the complaints, and I'm sorry. I was under the impression that samples weren't an option since I wasn't doing custom colors. Like I said previously, this was my first (and possibly last) interaction with GMK and the community at large. If I go ahead with the Violet Outburst mod kit, I'll do my best to make it as cheap as possible, most likely at a loss, for those who purchased VT. Short of buying them all back from y'all (which is still an option if you'd like, it'll just take me some time, let me know), there's not much I can do but apologize.
Buying it back? Huh, how do you imagine doing that without spending a fortune yourself? Sending it all back to GMK?
My ideal solution would be for Violet Outburst to become reality with good coverage for the purple on dark grey keys... Coverage like this kit: https://www.originativeco.com/products/magenta-dolch-accent (https://www.originativeco.com/products/magenta-dolch-accent) . I get that it's a different aesthetic than the original dark mods though so it be won't ideal for be for everyone.

Taking them back and reselling I would imagine. There are always people that will buy it. Of course this would be at a loss and a huge hassle. Selling the stock would take a while etc etc. But no, you wouldn't just loose all the money that had to be spent to produce the sets.

It was completely clear that this set was using stock colors. Should they have followed the interest check or looked at the color codes in the renders, it would've been apparent. There's plenty of sets with N9 and DY colors to prove that the contrast in the keys would look the way they do.
GMK Violet Outburst mod kit will be happening, and even eventually maybe Violet Revolt mod kit (DY on GR1 like the alphas, as Poesjuh suggested), though I might take a few weeks off before I dive into getting that rolling.

I feel like the 3 colours is needed to keep the set visually interesting. There just isnt a whole lot of purple in GMK's stock palette, which complicates...everything. Maybe MG1 on DY? or DY on 2B?
I'm still here waiting for GMK Violet Outburst mod kit. Any updates would be great!
I'm somehow still alive ;D Stay tuned for some things happening soon :cool:
PM me if anyone has a deskmat they’re looking to get rid of.
Anyone try the b-stock mats at dixie?

Years later, "Violet Nightmares" are coming soon (very), in all their low contrast magic. This time, it will be different (for you). "Violet Outbursts" will be an option that the community decides. Also stay tuned for "Extreme Violets". (and other puns ;) )
