[GB] GMK Classic Beige

[azhdar]

I'll never understand why such a fundamental point is overlooked, with some group buys only offering scoops, other offering a dot, and others offering the only logical solution, the raised "homing bar" near the bottom edge on the 'F' and 'J' keys :-)

Is it easy to adapt?

Because you're part of a minority, few people like the homing bar. Also to match the theme of Classic Beige that has no homing bar but scoops.

he's answering your first statement in which you wrongfully assume homing bars are the only logical solution.

yes, it's easy to adapt. yes, you should stop being so aggressive with an opinion and saying baseless things.

i guess it's cool if your goal is to annoy people, but i'm not one to assume

I know what it is, I am just wondering if Mr. Giorgio also does

[Giorgio]

All the layouts but one are a minority.

All the layouts but one are a minority.

What is the one true layout ? The one to rule them all?

[awhitedev]

You're all wrong! There shouldn't be scoops or nibs on F or J. Uniformity for life!

Bro, do you even touch type?

[Prelim]

honestly I touch type a lot but I barely feel the scoops lol... I guess I air glide through the caps e magicaly know where they are lol

F and J have a dash or a deep dish?

F/J are scooped

a question about ship ways is that i could only choose first class of USPS but no USPS Priority to ship these keycaps to China.
I want to choose USPS Priority, how i could change the ship ways? thank you

Hey, currently we're just doing USPS First Class for international orders unless it's a larger order. USPS Priority is what we're using for CONUS orders.

If you're having trouble with getting orders, maybe it's time to change the name to Hellgrau.  Sounds badass and is the true name of the set color.

Hellgrau is definitely the all (off-)white colour scheme prelim posted )

Everyone has their own tactile preferences but, objectively speaking, one advantage scoops have over bars is coverage.  No matter where my finger is on the cap I can tell it's a scoop, whereas I sometimes miss the bars because they are too close to the bottom of the cap.

[HoffmanMyster]

Scoops really aren't a layout.

Have you used scoops before?  If you have, offer some thoughts on why you prefer something else (rather than using the "fact" that homing bars are superior).  If you have not, I think it's time to pick up an old Cherry set to try them out.

IMO, scoops are the best option.  Many agree.

[nubbinator]

Scoops are the best.  I think some people either haven't tried them or haven't allowed themselves to get used to them.  Once you do, they're so much easier.  How many people type at the bottom of the keys where the bars are?  Bars are only good at rest, scoops you can always feel.  They make it far easier to touch type.

[azhdar]

And are also much more pleasing to the eye.

[nickheller]

I'll be joining once my Hyperfuse set comes in and I confirm I actually like GMK.

[osi]

I prefer bars on the f and j - scoops don't provide enough of a difference to immediately discern whether or not it is a scooped key. It could be a matter of becoming accustomed however.

[romevi]

That's how I am. I've been using bars for so long that when I tried scoops I found that I couldn't pinpoint F and J as quickly.

[nubbinator]

It's definitely a matter of getting adjusted.  After about a week, I noticed it was easy to tell and my fingers would just fall on the without even trying.  Half the time I'd have to look with bars since I never rest my fingers on the bottom of the key.  With scoops I know every time.

[ATXTider]

Scoops were just a new twist for me, and now, after a bit of time, they all work equally well for me.

[Giorgio]

I can't spend 150 eur on a set and then waste time to become accustomed to it :-)))

It was weird at first, but you get accustomed to it eventually!

It was a reply to the guy that said that I'm a minority, so I will not be taken into consideration, to which I replied that every layout is a minority, but nonetheless some odd layouts are taken into consideration.

This thing about scoops is fundamental, and is wasn't even taken into consideration. I agree that the group leader has the last word, but at this point it should be clear that interests checks serve the only purpose of building the hype. Nothing else. The renderings are final, everything is final. And nothing is really discussed.

You know that the 'Regarding classic beige' thread wasn't an IC, right? I just used that to keep people updated. There was a beige IC long before and nobody once mentioned wanting bars or anything other than scoops.

[joey]

It was clear from the original thread that the layout was final, that should have been understood by everyone.

I can't wait for this set!

Cherry/GMK love = scoops love

Don't like scoops? Don't buy Cherry/GMK.

Did you know that I haven't been on gh for so long? Like I said, it was a thread to build the hype. Nothing wrong.

[admiralvorian]

putting in my order now!

For anyone that's scared due to the TA fiasco: I have a feeling it's due to the custom colors. They ran out of plastic and had to stretch it.

this set doesn't use any fancy made-to-order colors so they should have plenty of plastic to make some nice thick caps that we all love

...at least this is what I'm telling myself!

[oomph]

I'm in on both this and RGBK, but I wouldn't expect the plastic mixture to be much better than TA's.

The new run of CMYW has the same issue, and they're all regular colors. Taken from https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74258.0:


Doesn't affect me since I don't use backlit keyboards--but worth mentioning to those who haven't seen recent pics yet.

[Dreamre]

Okay...so I'm just browsing pictures through GH and I wanted to know if the alphas are the same color as Originative's Classic Beige. Here's a reference link:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35864.msg1114017#msg1114017

Is it me...or are the alphas more white?

I think Originative's are more white, but that's just my eyeballs, like yours.

I think that's a camera issue. It's hard to capture the real color of the alphas.

Book a September ended early, ha ha！

[harlw]

I know this is a longshot but if anyone is interested in trading me the ANSI "Enter" and "\" keys from their set when they ship in exchange for my Cherry GH80 ISOs I would be tickled pink

[Orca]

exchange rate is quite bad for me right

Photekq has already addressed this and will be contacting GMK about it before production. :thumb:

WOOT!

[roostrc0gburn]

are we tracking MOQ anywhere? Can we get an order count in the OP?

It has already been proven that there is NO difference in the thickness of the TA caps. The light bleed is due to the properties of the plastic mixture, and does not necessarily indicate lower quality.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Changed my post to plastic mixture

[admiralvorian]

right, plastic mixture.


My order no. is 52... are they sequential? Is that a good number for this stage of the buy?

it's not you: I bought a set from originative and those alphas are definitely un0001 and not L9. Originative's are considerably brighter.

[NorrisB]

Are you farming posts or why couldn't you say the same thing in a single post?

Please be more careful next time, so the thread doesn't get clogged up
