[GB] GMK Minimal

[dantambok]

Any news for those that ordered thru zFrontier?

Don't hold your breath on that. hah  )

[pixelpusher]

Awe, I got shipping notice saying it would be here today. Then 10 min later I got a notice saying it would be here monday.  What a tease!

Anybody else with a crooked R3 control key (i.e. caps lock replacement?)

Sorry for the ****ty picture, it looks more obvious in person, the key is rotated clockwise almost enough to touch the above and below keys.

Ewwww! Shame on GMK.

Are you sure it's not your switch alignment? Have you tried another cap in its place?

I think that's the general consensus but he hasn't responded. Never had a GMK cap actually be crooked, personally. And I've had a ton of them. It's always been because I failed to take care in aligning a switch.

Man do I need to be concerned having ordered from ZFrontier?

Thanks, I love it! So easy to mix modifiers and accents with Minimal.

The black caps look like holes in your KB.

[dantambok]

Got my shipping notif from zF!

Has anyone else received a RAMA novelty that won't fit? It's like the tolerance on the cross is off enough to be too tight to mount on a switch.

That looks f'ing fantastic.

Any extras available?

dailyclack extras sold out earlier today )

[krey]

Sweet. Received mine from ZF.

Very happy with it!

[pixelpusher]

Looks good with sleeves too

[ttot]

Minimal on M60-A(LAKE). In warm artificial light, the rama "Egg" keycap appears darker, although in reality it is brighter than the keyset.

[sharkz_vaderz]

Any plan for R2 soon?

[Ryuzumei]

Waiting for R2 as well.

Dixie Mech was selling their last stock during their Black Friday sale, bummed to miss it. Looking forward to R2 - as is everyone else and their mom. Hopefully someday soon!

[kaisn]

R2 please. Please.

[bobdenard]

I find it weird that a such a basic colorway is not more readily available like WoB.

100% this. I'd have several BoW sets if they were readily available like WoB.

It was sold out in under a second, so good chance you'd have missed it even if you were there trying to grab one.  I do wish this set would come back now/soon though since there really aren't good BoW options and there should all things considered.

If it does come back, I'd hope to see it with text+icon / icon instead of text only.

[Robosculpts]

If these are gmk stock colors, I see no reason why this set isn't treated like WoB on Drop. Are these stock colors?

[dwarflemur]

Are these stock colors?

It's in the OP 

I see no reason why this set isn't treated like WoB on Drop.

Don't their recent sets only support their boards? That seems silly

The WoB set is for multiple layouts. That was my first set and it's great! I can't wait to add R0 and R5 to it. The way they are doing red samurai now is only for their boards. Which is silly.

Literally the only reason I passed on round 1. I wanted too be able to interchange with my WoB set if I so desired and still have consistent legends.

You can make it consistent via this:

Yeah, but icon mods. No thanks.

I'm too late to this thread. is there any left over sets

I'm too late to this thread. is there any left over sets 

I'm afraid the GB has come and gone and the extras have been sold. Your will need to hunt down a keyset on mechmarket.

thanks for your info I'll try to look for it in marketplace.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

It's become much more expensive aftermarket than what I figured a simple white set would be. If you pay only double the group buy price for GMK minimal, you've now done well.

I like cherry profile and doubleshot as much as anyone, but this is a BoW set for 90$

I only received my set now because I ordered it together with the Norde Kit for Wob.
Am I the only one noticing inconsitencies?
The big Control is misaligned. The small looks like the letters didnt make it through all the way.

[jani80k]

For comparisons sake, here is an ok key.

[ideus]

Could someone post a picture of the set along with the Norde kit's keys?

[jani80k]

Just to be clear.. the big control key being misaligned is an issue with the base kit everyone has. I only mentioned the Norde kit because people might be wondering why I only noticed this now - because I only received it now.
It's funny how in the past certain streamers made fun of 'cheap chinese' keysets because of small imperfections like this. The Norde kit is a whole different product from a different thread. It should rather be discussed there.
Back to my issue: you can even see that the Control is misaligned if you scroll up and look at other people's pictures.

My kit that I recently received definitely has issues too :
- The 1.75u Shift has a double-shot problem whereby the black comes through to form a spot on the side of the keycap
- The 1.5 Pipe key has the same problem on the on the periphery of the top the cap; it's faint but it's there
- The 2.75 Shift is very bold compared to the other Shift keys
- Misc font inconsistencies

You are right, sorry for asking it here. It is only that I want to see how this set looks with Nords legends. I am waiting for a similarly colored set that is a bit look a like to this one.

Any reason to believe R2 may happen? Perhaps with inconsistencies resolved?

With Kendo coming, gonna need this.

I personally haven't heard anything, but I'd imagine that even if there was a R2 it wouldn't happen anytime soon. Have you considered GMK Bleached? Uses a cooler white compared to Minimal's warmer white.

Yup. WS1 and all text mods goes perfect for a build plan I have though. Oh well. Aftermarket it is.

[bigapplepietart]

Hope this returns for a R2 with Minimal pricing, and they keep the 1.5u super keys!
