When do you plan to run it? Oct/nov?

Also through where/vendors?

Yes, likely late Oct/early Nov will be the start. It will be ran through Cartel.ltd (a new company/site I'm a co-founder of) in North America, we have a few proxies lined up otherwise. Once we've confirmed they're still on board and finalize logistics I'll be announcing them.

kmba · « **Reply #102 on:** Thu, 19 October 2017, 12:35:47 »

No rush. There's 5-6 gmk group buys going on right now, and people are stretched thin so the sets are struggling it looks like. Might want to wait until late November

hineybush · « **Reply #103 on:** Thu, 19 October 2017, 12:59:45 »

That's true! We're considering waiting for the current buys to wrap up.

hineybush · « **Reply #104 on:** Tue, 24 October 2017, 13:15:35 »

Got the latest renders in, as well as pricing. I asked them to add 2u, 2.25u, and 2.75u convex blanks to the TU2 spacebar set.

No, only the R3 controls since caps lock wouldn't have a color associated.

All will be very competitive imo, we're working on final pricing and it'll be announced when we open the GB (next week)

avid · « **Reply #110 on:** Tue, 24 October 2017, 17:38:42 »

Same here! This grey set is so good. I also like the unusual color modifiers rather than the normal RGBY.

hineybush · « **Reply #111 on:** Wed, 25 October 2017, 11:35:59 »

Final TU2 spacebar pack. I learned today that they only have convex for 2u, so 2.25 and 2.75 are standard R4 profile.

1u as well actually.

pikku-allu · « **Reply #113 on:** Wed, 25 October 2017, 14:46:04 »

Adding a blank 1.25u key to the spacebars kit would be a great addition.

At least all of the boards below incorporate a 1.25u blank in their split spacebar design. That would be full split spacebar support for all of these boards with the addition of only a single blank.

Probably won't add the 1.25u blank at this point, sorry.

Pricing:

Base kit: $140
CMYK modifiers: $65
PB modifiers: $42
TU2 spacebars: $20

EU proxy is mykeyboard.eu, AS proxy is monokei.us.

Maybe I’m crazy but I really feel like this should include a teal fn or blank for split shifts. Also is there a reason the cmyp set doesn’t have the 2u shift? To me a 2u shift would be more useful than duplicate shifts of every size of words.

Either way though I am excited.

Thanks a lot! I completely overlooked the TU2 Fn key - not sure how I did that. I've emailed GMK asking to add it.

The problem with the shifts is that I reallly want to keep both the icon and text shift keys in there. If I had to remove one, it'd be the text versions. I could see about adding a 2u shift to this set but it's already pretty large/expensive as is.

AAAAAAnd:

I decided to model a quick G80-1800 since I just got one from Germany today. Expect a bunch of renders with the different kit optionsin the near future.

hineybush · « **Reply #118 on:** Mon, 30 October 2017, 13:54:23 »

Updated PB modifier kit with the TU2 Fn key. Thanks again Amnesia!

Due to the added key, the PB modifier set price will be increased to $45 from $42 to keep the profit margin.

Time to prep the site for the GB to launch this week.

Thanks! There are 1u Windows keys in the CMYK pack

I removed the Windows logo keys from the base set because 1. I thought there were too many keys already in the set, and I wanted to keep the cost down and 2. I wanted to stick with the text bottom row + icon modifiers look.

Completely understood! I would have loved one as part of the standard kit, but you can't have everything right

)? Thanks for responding and I'm sure this will be a hit like Muted. I'm just not too fond of the "CODE" keys.

Well, ****... didn't realize Laser is dropping this Friday as well.

We're moving the GB a week, to open next Friday - hopefully to give people a little time to justify buying two keysets. The drop will be open for 5 weeks as well, TBD if we will extend at all.

Well, the community can certainly support two GMK buys at once. Problems arise when there's 4 or 5 like the past couple weeks. I know lazer is going to be insanely popular and will probably set a new sales record for GMK and surpass.. Nautilus? But there are many of us that think it's over the top at best, ugly at worst

I'm in for cmyk kit here instead.

I think this could be a great kit to mix and match with Laser

Slate mods + laser alphas

Oh nevermind me. I was reading it as the blue + red keys.
Then it makes sense! I really prefer cooler colors and grey + grey will be great!

Actually in terms of coverage i think this is one of the best ive seen. Perfect iso keys, nice icon mods. Very clean.

Jedi · « **Reply #136 on:** Tue, 07 November 2017, 19:21:17 »

I love the attention to detail on this set. You hit all the points I was looking for in other recent GBs since run. The sub legeds, the pop colors, the classic GMK kits that old school runners know all too well. Registering my comment to be aware when the GB opens up. Keep up the great work!

Only question I have is what's the MOQ?

The Code keys were added specifically to be non-OS specific, I even tossed the 1.5u ones in for HHKB style layouts. The kits won't be changing at this point.

Ah gotcha. Either way isn't gonna make it into this set, I apologize. I'll consider this for future ones though, Mac support seems worth doing. I just haven't seen it much for "comprehensive-style" GMK base kits.

Most designers take good care for covering as many as possible layouts, classic and custom, so must of GMK's made sets are much more comprehensive than others, particularly those made of PBT.

Late to the GB, especially with a request, but any chance for the CMYK mods in a blank option? I'm a Mac guy, so OSX icon options would have been ideal, but I know you can't please everyone and "code" could be something I could deal with, blank mods would be stellar as well; I already have a blank CMYK kit, but this would be higher quality and I like the additional color options as well as sizes.
