Is it possible to get large font legends and centered on the key? I've never seen it for cherry profile but perhaps GMK can do it.
You can hit MOQ w/ a batch order from China. People are already talking about it and SA Carbon is also highly sought-after here.

If i understand it correctly someone makes a single batch order on MD. Basically to save the shipping costs.By the way the estimated pricing for Base kit (not the extended version) is similar to Triumph Adler at 150 moq. Still waiting for the pricing and moq for extended version. If i got it i'll post my decision here and we'll work out the final version for GMK Carbon.
Please please push for the add ons, who cares if they don't reach MOQ, we just drop those and still have the extended version. You would have one of the most amazing sets GMK has ever produced

I am currently in negotiations with MD. However after so many GMK drop fails i personaly got doubts they'd like to make a drop for it. If they don't i have to look for another way to make this real.
The problem with PBT is that we are limited on the color choices with SP but SP should have the molds, the thing T0mb3ry was working towards is to have this run as a GMK set. Massdrop's keyboard community is finicky mostly for colorway and price. This set will give MD participants the colorway so that won't be the issue for Massdrop. The heavy question is the price that GMK wants for what T0mb3ry wants for keys which is what he is working on with GMK right now. If Yanbo and Alex P agree with what the price comes back for him, we could very well make this one popular set. We just need to run the same post across the pond at RMK to drive up the awareness this one is coming. It also really makes a difference when the group buy "drop" leader announces the new keyset with a preview announcement on Massdrop.

Personally, I do not like PBT; but, on my space bar only; however, people that have not tried an OG Cherry or a GMK set have a very hard time understanding why an ABS set should costs over $100 USD, when it does not have novelties nor cute colors. I just hope, as you said, that Carbon helps to entice more people to get into GMK goodness, at least if it does not get way too overpriced.
Personally, I love this colourway. Moreover, it's gonna be a GMK set. I guess the colours would be CR, N9, U9, V1?

I got some boards with cherry profile and still i prefer SA profile (espeically on topre) over cherry... Despite that i went fullhouse into karuras SKIDATA+. It was very succesfull. You know why? Because colors and theme (legendary skidata board). As i said previously quality is not enough. You have to make right colorcombination and on top of that it has to be special. SKIDATA+ is both - it is just epic! Still waiting for my SKIDATA+ However as i said if you prefer Carbon colors but not SA Profile, GMK Carbon is the keyset you need Quote from: hoanglh94 on Thu, 14 April 2016, 10:10:35Personally, I love this colourway. Moreover, it's gonna be a GMK set. I guess the colours would be CR, N9, U9, V1?Nope. All 3 Carbon colors are going to be custom colors.
I'd rather pick up another Carbon set in SA-profile honestly. All the addons and all orange caps is what makes Carbon my favourite set atm and this has none of that. I do understand why GMK enthusiasts would want a Carbon set though.

I am confused. What are the different sets on massdrop?
Hmmm? What do you mean exactly? I just submitted the renders as options. Each option is just to show how its going too look like and it has nothing to do with the kits. If you want to vote, then just vote for any option you like.

While SP SA sets has much more realistic MOQ values for these kind of kits.
I just accidentally saw this picture on FB and immediately reg an account in this forum to vote for this set. What a wonderful keycap set !
