[IC] GMK DOOM | GB NOW LIVE!

[ideus]

It is very nice of the OP to include both versions of the 6u space bar. Some others don't, under the argument that only HHKB's moders need it. Forgetting users of Cherry 1800 keyboards.

[n0rvig]

Brilliant inspiration. Can't wait!

Hey,

I would like to apologise for the lack of communication regarding this set.

Thank you for all of your feedback, it is great to know there is interest in this set.

I will admit I am hesitant to add all of the keys from this: (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/6f7830fa68c43c022e3d691bddb1a9a2) as I feel it may add to much to the price of the base kit especially for ANSI users whom will never use these keys, but I understand that it will make this set more appealing to European customers.

I was aiming to run this group buy fairly soon, however group buys for other keycap sets are starting (or already running) and I do not wish to compete against them. I will confirm a date as soon as possible, but this group buy will most likely begin in October.

Another reason for the delay is that many users have expressed the opinion that this set is too boring, and whilst I love this keycap set, I am unsure whether there is enough interest for this keycap set to reach the MOQ of 150. If you want to purchase this keycap set, please let me know as I would like to gauge the interest level in this set before I start the group buy.

The novelties have been reworked slightly (same designs but the lines are thicker) in order to meet GMK's guidelines. The new novelty designs are being submitted to GMK and once they have been improved, I will release renders for them

If you have any other feedback, please let me know.

Thank you for reading.

I've been so waiting for this set by the way. Since it might be TOO boring (I'm not though), could you consider putting LED keycaps as a add on? If it is still not late?

[Vigrith]

Still interested - curious though, is this still planned to be a complete kit with just a couple novelties or was it changed so that a separate novelty kit will be offered? I might be missing something, apologies if so, I just found the wording of the latest update to imply the former.

[1905ChelseaBlues]

Can't wait for this

[LDobler]

Make it happen please!

[oluigenuma]

I think there are a lot of users out there who appreciate keycaps that don't look like they've been designed by Fisher Price. I like this set a lot, but I don't know if I can justify buying it without ISO-Norde support. Sadly I doubt that Europe offers enough demand for a norde addon set. Anyway if the GB starts in october I might be in.

Thanks for the news on this set.
Regarding a "Norde" kit these should just be the keys to add to the set for minimal European coverage:



Referred again from Wodans post. The low cost of adding the key to the base set of quote: 16,50€ at MOQ 150!

hoping to see this alive!

GB soon?  I feel like I need this in my life... It's all good for me even if there's no LED locks...

The base kit and novelty keys are being finalised with GMK.

I am aiming to launch this group buy in November. Sorry for the massive delays, thank you for the continued support.

Hopefully this set will launch in late Nov or early Dec because everyone is joining Laser GB on MD

Yeah, might be good to push it a bit not, so it is not at the same time or close to Laser?

Hi everyone!

I have submitted the latest novelty designs to GMK, however I am still waiting to receive a response from the regarding a price (and whether they are suitable). I have just sent them another email.

I am not sure when the group buy for this keycap set will start, however it will most likely be in December. I think the group buy for EnjoyPBT Europe will be organised before this.

I am also looking to work with a North American proxy to make this set more appealing to customers out side of the EU.

Thank you for showing interest in this set, I really appreciate it. I am still working to make sure this set gets produced, despite the lack of updates recently.   

[Atredl]

Eagerly looking forward to this!

[Puddsy]

don't add norde, look at the numbers, not many people want it even if it is cheap

though i do like the Q@ and Mu legend.

haven't been paying much attention to this IC but it looks to have shaped up nicely, might get a set

+2000 base kits, 100 norde-kits for laser. If you're lucky it will sell 10 norde kits here, so yeah, dont bother.

Not sure why not more set isnt using that Q+M sublegends.

Hey Everyone!

Unfortunately GMK have rejected most of the novelty designs. I can organise the group buy however the only novelties that will be available will be the DOOM mask.

[TalkingTree]

Fair enough for me. I'm mainly buying it for the colour scheme.

[Applet]

Personally, I'm in it a lot for the novelties. No posibility to revise them so that they can get accepted by GMK?

[ideus]

The subtle full text modifiers are nice, however their low contrast against the CR background does not fit my need to get occasional glimpses to the legends. Many may be attracted precisely for this feature, though.

[Atredl]

I'm still in it even without novelties

I‘ve looked through the numbers of groupbuys with international kits on massdrop and although I think massdrop isn‘t a representative source for iso kits I still think you are partially right.

Interest in this set isn‘t a lot higher than moq and interest for a ‚norde kit‘ is at 10% at most, which doesn‘t seem to justify the extra costs for the 90 or 95% that don‘t need it.

But imho the inclusion of norde shouldn‘t be a solely financial decision as long as it doesn’t jeopardize the success of the groupbuy. Not including language specific keys is building barriers especially for new members of the community.

Don‘t get me wrong here. I don’t think including more keys is beneficial for this gb but I do see the tendencies of denial for language specific kits with concern.

Novelties: That‘s sad but I‘m still interested, mainly because of the coloring. What are your plans now? Include the skull cap in the main set? Doing new novelties or changing the ones not accepted?

[Puddsy]

people will pay $145 for this GMK set

i just don't think they'll pay $165 for this GMK set

that is my motivation

the need is definitely there, i just don't think i needs to be tacked on to every GB

i'd love to see more keys included in future buys, but it's not time for every GB to have NORDE just yet

[oluigenuma]

Totally on your side. Just wanted to mention it so people at least think about it in future buys.

What do you think about dropping the theme, and the orange keycap, and simply having this as a black and grey GMK keycap set?

I really like this colour scheme but as the novelties have been rejected so many times, I am not sure that the theme should be explored anymore. Is there interest in a black and grey GMK keycap set that has a large amount of compatibility keys?

What would change? No orange backspace and no novelties?

Correct. All of the other keys would stay the same.

Little loss to me, to be honest. I never was into those novelties and I split my backspace anyway.
I do like the grey on black look of the set. I would dare to suggest to invert the alphas (CR on N9) to make it a two tone, but I guess this set has already gone under too many revisions.

We could change the orange key from backspace to enter, and also have an orange ISO enter. What do you think?

Keeping backspace as orange is preferred, though I wouldn't mind paying extra for orange Enter to support anyone that wants it.

make an orange Esc too and keeping both backspace and enter

[Mr_BeastQuake]

I'd have to agree, dropping the orange backspace isn't a big loss, I use split backspace. Orange enter and escape sounds cool, I've SkiDolcha so can just use that sets stuff if needed. I don't care for novelties of any kind. Still hoping this happens though!

Edit: Dare I suggest... a color pack of Esc and Enter keys of various popular colors?

[rustywok]

I sort of liked the orange backspace key. It was something different from the Esc./Enter accents that seem to be in every other keyset on GH.

After much consideration, this is going to be an MF DOOM keycap set. The 1u R1 MF DOOM mask novelty will be included with the base set, with the following colour scheme:

- CR Base
- N9 Legend

and also:

- CR Base
- V2 Legend


In addition to this both of the R3 ALLCAPS Keycaps will also be included, as will the V2 backspace.


Add On Pack:

The add on pack will include the following:

- R1 Backspace Key
- R1 Coloured MF DOOM Mask Key
- R3 ALLCAPS Key

Each of these 3 keycaps will come in all of the remaining colours of MF DOOM's "Special Herbs Volumes" Record Sleeves:

https://www.gasdrawls.com/store/p55/Special_Herbs_Bundle_%282xLP___45%29_x_5.html

There will be 12 keycaps in the add on pack.

If there is not enough interest in the theme, then I am fine with removing all of the novelties, and having an all black and grey keycap set with an add on pack for Esc Keys and Backspaces in different colours.
