Interest Checks / Re: [IC] Pneuma Mk.2/60 - Interest Check
« Last post by antipode-studio on Tue, 30 April 2024, 10:38:56 »
Hi everyone

We have ordered the Pneuma from our manufacturer, however - we still have a few weeks before we have to give them final number on WK and HHKB tops, we are therefor running a pre-order from the 6th till the 12th of May 2024(or until the allocated units have sold out)

More info on colors, materials and layout options here: https://www.antipode.studio/collections/pneuma

Stoic and Midnight will be pre-order exclusives color options. WK and HHKB layouts for all colors will also be a pre-order exclusive. We will only stock WKL. 100 total units have been ordered.

Alexotos will be streaming an Aegis WKL Pneuma build on the 5th of May, Lulzthax will be streaming an Elysium WK build TBA

Join our discord to be kept closely posted on any updates/info and so on. http://discord.antipode.no

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] GMK CYL Delta Round 2 - We need your feedback!
« Last post by upas on Tue, 30 April 2024, 10:00:23 »
we're actually considering changing the color from WS2 to something else.

then I'm entirely out.
my delta R1 kit never yellowed to date.

I'm in the same boat when it comes to my R1 set - but we hope to find a suitable replacement which will still capture the essence of the set.
Part of what is taking so long to launch this set is finding that replacement.

We would prefer to swap away from WS2 though. While I've never personally been impacted by WS2 yellowing (GMK Delta, GMK Noel), I've seen too many photos of brand new GMK Bleached sets having yellowed alphas. I'd rather avoid that.
I don't know if batch variance is part of it, but I think when someone is paying as much as they are for a GMK set, we should do everything we can to limit yellowing.

Again - most white plastics will eventually yellow, but if we can increase how long it takes, I think that's an overall better product.

I haven't purchased keysets in some time 'cause with only 8 keyboards (rookie) how many key sets does one need. I LOVE this colorway and have made the decision to stick with GMK (never Keyreative again), but I've noticed no one is doing GMK Colverak add-ons any longer. Why is this? I'm guessing the big vendors are streamlining their offerings to only the 'sure thing' sets and bigger buys mean lower prices. I've got Dots (light and dark) and Redacted to compensate, but would love to see a few alpha-numeric sets start offering Colverak again. I coulda asked this in any GMK thread but this set would be a must buy if it had that add-on.
Thanks either way!
Mike

Unfortunately for GMK sets and most other doubleshot manufacturers, we have to hit certain MOQs to get sets made. Given the current market conditions, it's really hard for a Colevrak kit to hit MOQ, so most of the time they end up being refunded (and then vendors lose money to refund fees). So that's why it's not seen that frequently.

Is offering WS2 alphas or the other color alphas as a separate kit possible? I just need the mods really, because I have other GMK sets with WS2   :-X

If we swap away from WS2, it's not likely we'll offer kits in WS2.

Considering this was supposed to run this month, is it still the case or what’s the status?

Any news on vendors?

We did want to run this set in April, but it's been delayed because of the WS2 issue.

We're still in talks with GMK about replacing the WS2 with something else.
We got some candidate colors but are still discussing with them what would be best moving forward.
We hope to have some good news soon!

Once this color is finalized, we'll be reaching out to other vendors. We hope other vendors can join us in offering price drops as well.

Keyboards / Re: I've done nine hand-wires in the past year.

This is the content I come here for. These all look amazing and from what I can tell are largely 3d printed, outside of a few plates which appear to be aluminum sandwich cases. Big fan of using home manufacturing tools to make keyboards, doubly so for hand wired! I would love to see the guts of those boards.

I put them in a Pixelfed gallery.  Several of them have made appearances on GH, but I wanted to gather them all together.  It's been a year of learning, and while I'm not the most elegant maker around, I have gotten better and now "eat my own dogfood" every day (though I couldn't make myself fall in love with Orthos).  I tried to do something new or different with every single project, and except for my daughter's 3x4 macropad, they're all at least slightly off the beaten path.

Designers should add keys 5-8 in F-row colors, at least in extra kits.
Agreed also the "`~" and "\|" keys should be defaulted the same color as the modifiers, not the alphas on standard kitting.
