[IC] GMK Violet Tendencies - April 21st, 2018 update - GB starting April 22nd!

[jackedhardwarejunkie]

I'm all about that purple an this might end up being my favorite set it's pure beauty... Can't wait for it to drop, got my eyes real close on this, sucks waiting to have to wait some more but it's better to be safe than sorry and make sure it hits MOQ

[mudcakehoney]

I may have said this already but I’m all in on this when it drops!

[Giorgio]

Nice colors, a little overlapping with my hyperfuse :-(

[Voxicles]

Nice colors, a little overlapping with my hyperfuse :-(

Apologies, it wasn't intentional, I didn't realize that Hyperfuse alphas were gr1 with n9 until much further along in the process. I hope you don't take offence, or track me down and break my legs

Hyperfuse was Bunnylake - unless you just mean its a set you own?

I meant they I like it but it's too close to a set that I own.

[phorx]

Any ETA on a GB for this?

[Wongstongs]

The world needs this set!

[jackedhardwarejunkie]

The world needs this set!

I need this set.

[phorx]

I’d like an addon pack with N9 modifiers and GR1 legends too!

[peggisan]

Any updates on this? Would 100% be in if it got Ortho and Colemak kits

[Draic]

if it got Ortho and Colemak kits

I would be surprised if those are offered

[peggisan]

if it got Ortho and Colemak kits

I would be surprised if those are offered

I think OP mentioned Ortho in one of the updates, but no renders of it yet. Dvorak and Colemak are kinda a long shot but I can dream

Ye my bad. I meant the Colemak support. Should have made that more clear, sorry

[wongie]

Any new updates or progress? We're almost approaching the end of Q1 so very unlikely this set will happen in the first half of this year as originally hoped. Fingers crossed it will at least happen before the end of 2018 though.

Sadly with the vender that OP plans on working with to get this GB run, he has to wait for them to run another gmk set before this. I wouldn't worry too much about this set until GMK Black Lotus runs first.

Awesome! I have been waiting for this one ever since I saw that post on Reddit. Would be very excited to see some movement on this.

Base kit will have ortho support, but sorry, no Dvorak or Colemak.

Give me a week, and y'all will have some better news. Maybe possibly even a date?

Great to hear some good news from this set, can't wait for next week then. Not expecting a date, but as long as this show gets on the road I think we can all be happy.

[LostInInaka]

If only there is word on this before the 20th, then I would have no doubts as to what color of espectro to buy

I'm confident in saying that you should buy a purple one

[Voxicles]

If it’s Good it’s worth waiting for. Rather have a GB start in may and shipping in july than one starting now and shipping in August...

GMK has a long lead time at the moment, it'll never be a 3 month delivery. That's just the way it is, no matter how much money we throw at it, or how popular it is. It's not the year+ SP has for SA sets, but it'll be substantial. 6 months after group buy finishes is a good estimate. Might (probably) be more, doubt it'll be less. There's nothing we as vendors/designers can do about it.

9009 was about 3/4 months if I'm correct. So it's doable

Funny you mentioned 9009... Stay tuned

So you are saying you are going with Dixiemech O_o. I'd be okay with that

I can neither confirm, nor deny that 

[Vloshko]

I'm fond of this set. I know this isn't the theme it's centralized around nor does it have anything to do with it, but I think the following would fit really well:
Ghastly, Haunter, or Gengar inspired novelty keycap.

That's just what this set reminds me of, color wise.

Maybe it's a bit too late but is there any possibility in following in the footsteps of GMK Oblivion, Honeywell and Doom's recent GB launch in adding a 1.5u backspace? It's the one key I find lacking in about half of any decent GMK sets.

There's already one in the render. Right near the iso stuff

[phorx]

For me, the purple on black  (DY on N9) keys are a bit hard to read.  I'm hoping there will be an add-on pack(s) that make it possible to replace them with grey on purple (GR1 on DY) keys.

There's a 1.5u Delete, but no 1.5u Backspace, which is needed for anyone like me who likes to use split backspace and then map backspace to where backslash normally is (and have Delete immediately above as a 1u key in the top right). Would definitely agree that I'd like to see a true 1.5u Backspace in all GMK sets; it's weird that it's there in many of them but missing from a ton, even recent ones.

I'll be making an update in the OP shortly, thanks for reminding me! 

[Voxicles]

Update in the OP:

 New kit design is done. New vendor has been chosen. I'm happy to announce that Dixiemech (of GMK 9009 fame) will be running the GB. Thank you all for following through all this! We'll very soon have estimated launch dates, and official renders and pricing. For obvious reasons, I'm not going to speculate. I guess all I can say (again) is stay tuned! It's finally happening!

Awww yeee! Watching this as close as possible! Thanks for the update, waiting to gib you my monies

[euphxenos]

Voxicles,

I asked about the possibility of adding an R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn a while back and didn't see a response from you.  I notice that some recent GMK sets (GMK Yuri, GMK Solarized Dark, and I think there were others that I'm forgetting) have had these two keys added by GMK even though they weren't in the kit designs (I suspect because they want to provide support for their own C70 keyboard).  Has anyone asked GMK if they're going to be adding any keys to the kit on top of what you've specified?

I can confidently say that they will be included in the base kit

This is a community run group buy, we can't realistically run multiple kits and have them hit MOQ. I wish I could offer a bunch of mod kits, but they wouldn't hit moq. They cost me money to have renders made, and I don't have a lot of that.

I'm going to run this as is at the moment, with one large kit, and a space kit, but if I get enough requests after these are under peoples fingers, I would love to do GR1 on DY mods. Would also love to run N9 mods with GR1 legends.

[Voxicles]

Splitting up sets is usually not a good idea for gmk.

You could split all color options from the main set and create a subset including uniform f-row, to get more/most people on board but at that point you might aswell keep it all in the base set which will make the overall process easier and potentially cheaper then having to buy the add on set.

Again I'm good either way, and I'm definitely in on the buy, but I really feel these 4 keys deserve a higher priority

I apologize, fren, the uniform F key option had to be cut to meet budget restrictions. I really tried, honestly. Ortho coverage ended up being more important 

[AlexAtPanc]

There was talk about this having an R3 (or whichever profile homerow is) 1.25u cap. Did that make the list, or was it been left on the cutting room floor?

I'd buy like 3x GR1 on DY mods. The old White on Purple GMK mod set is one of the things ive always  wanted but is impossible to find.

I'm in the same boat.  The purple GMK mod set would go with so many things, but it's really hard to come by.

[phorx]

I saw on reddit that this set will be coming soonish and be distributed by dixiemech.com.  Can’t wait!

[rmendis]

Loving this!

Any chance of a white mod kit, for that full GMK PoW option? =)
