capsunlocked is proud to present GMK Mondrian, a keycap set designed by u/jebbra and produced by GMK.
Inspired by one of the most iconic paintings ever produced — Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow by Piet Mondrian — GMK Mondrian is a keycap set made specifically for ortholinear keyboards as a homage to the grid structure of the painting.
The original painting is a well-known work of abstraction, and much like the painting itself, this keycap set promotes abstraction as its arrangement, meaning and purpose can only be determined by the user. This keycap set is truly unique as it allows ortholinear keyboard users the ability to determine their own design; users can use the coloured keycaps to highlight modifiers, or randomly arrange them in any configuration they think is best, there is no limit to how creative you can get with this keycap set. Even though you will be part of a group buy, GMK Mondrian will always be personal to you.
GMK are a well-established keycap manufacturer within the mechanical keyboard community, and produce high quality ABS Cherry Profile keycaps using the original tooling created by Cherry. GMK keycaps are thick, durable, and their ABS keycaps are not only highly sought after but many users within the mechanical keyboard community also rate the Cherry Profile head and shoulders above other keycap profiles.
The MOQ is 150 and will be live until 30th July. Production time is 14 weeks, so customers can expect to receive their orders in November. The price for the entire keycap set is 61.00GBP, which is slightly below $79USD. Shipping to all locations worldwide is 10.00GBP.

If you have already paid 10.00GBP and the group buy is successful, you will be refunded the difference.

have you got help from olkb.com and u.jackhumbert to promote this? it might be too much to ask, but I assume all Planck/Preonic people want this to succeed, so could they do a mailshot to their customers highlighting the set?
Another thing that would be nice is if various companies bought some of the sets to sell in their web store.

No worries, Jack is willing to help tipping this! I already talk to him and he will stock this on OLKB.com just like Nantucket Selectric blanks in the past :thumb:
But be aware this doesn't mean we are safe now because I'm not sure how much Jack can cover. Will try if Jack could help spreading the words too.
Post by: ehmlis on Sun, 23 July 2017, 10:38:57
This GB needs some help from you people here on GH.
Come on now, let's make this tip :D

At this point he'd have to buy like 100 sets. :(

How are we looking on this GB?
This is from the reddit update:
Quote
As many of you are aware the GMK Mondrian group buy has been running for the past 3 weeks, and the group buy has reached its closing date. Unfortunately this group buy has not reached MOQ.
Over the past week, capsunlocked, alongside Jebbra, have been talking to several vendors in the U.S whom are interested in purchasing this set and hopefully one of these vendors will be the proxy for North American customers whom are interested in this set. This will make the set more affordable for customers outside of the EU, hopefully leading to further sales.
If you have participated in this group buy, and would like a refund, please contact capsunlocked. If you are happy to wait for a couple of more weeks, I appreciate it. If I don't receive an email from you, I will assume that you are happy to wait.
If you are a customer residing outside of the EU and would like to purchase this through the NA proxy, please contact capsunlocked for a refund.
If this group buy has still not met MOQ within 2 weeks, all customers will be refunded.

Hi - Mehkee will act as the NA proxy for this set: https://mehkee.com/products/group-buy-gmk-mondrian-ortholinear-blank-keyset
Thanks to jebbra and capsunlocked for getting this off the ground!

Any update on whether this is happening or not? The Preonic is coming to Massdrop in four days and I was gonna buy one explicitly for this set.
I think capsunlocked and Mehkee need to come together to figure out our final counts, but in any case, you would find out early next week or certainly before the close of the Preonic GB.
If you haven't put in your purchase on either site yet, I would recommend doing that to help us get accurate numbers and figure out if there is a gap that needs to be filled or not!
Post by: CAPS UNLOCKED on Fri, 01 September 2017, 01:01:24
The group buy will be closing on the 6th September, and I believe only 29 orders are required for this (most likely less than this) to reach MOQ.
If you are interested in purchasing this set, please do so as soon as possible!
Post by: eMps on Tue, 05 September 2017, 04:21:41
EDIT: I placed an order, in hopes that the MOQ will be met. It would look so sweet on the OLKB Preonic I intend to get through Massdrop!

Update on r/mechanicalkeyboards (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/6yfp49/buying_gmk_mondrian_group_buy_closes_today_just/?sort=old).
I like this set and GMK blanks are impossible to find, but I can't find acceptable modifiers & various to complete a TKL.

"Hi,
Apologies for the delay.
I was waiting to receive the final numbers from Mehkee.
I can confirm that we are 15 units short from reaching MOQ. We are speaking to other vendors we are working with to try and reach MOQ.
There will be more updates coming soon."

Thank you for supporting the set, this is the first keycap set designed for Ortholinear keyboards to reach MOQ! capsunlocked, Jebbra and Mehkee really appreciate it!

Hi,
Apologies for not being active enough in this thread.
I can confirm that the invoice for GMK Mondrian has been settled, and the ETA is currently January/February. As far as I am aware, the lead time is still 14 weeks.
If there are any further updates, I will let you know.

Just received a shipping notification with a tracking number.
Good stuff. Thanks C.U.
The shipping labels have all been created but I am waiting to receive some shipping supplies. Most of the sets will be shipping on Thursday/Friday.
The rest will most likely ship on Monday.
All orders have been sent via DHL Express, capsunlocked is not charging any customers extra for this new Express service. :)
If anyone has any issues, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

According to DHL tracking, my package is expected to arrive by the end of the day! I'm so excited! Unfortunately my Planck won't have a case until mid/late January at best, but at least I can have fun experimenting with colour patterns :)
That is great to hear, I am excited for you! :D Post pictures please!

Will these keycaps fit on any switches? Or do I need a specific type of switch. I'm seeing options for the keyboard to get MX or Matias? Does it matter? Any information would help.
Post by: xondat on Sun, 28 January 2018, 21:46:03
These key caps look amazing! I saw a picture of this Mondrian board some time ago, but never thought I would be able to get one. This is my chance!. I do have a question, Massdrop is currently selling a Planck keyboard kit, but I'm very new to the keyboard modding world.

You'll need MX style (look for the + stem on the switch). Cherry/Kailh/Gateron/etc sell MX stemmed switches that these will fit onto.
