This reminds me of a thing that happened a few years ago between a team of "mostly" engineers and another company who financed some stuff...

Oh, how the turn tables.

Kono going off the rails and not even including the highlight accent ESC...Not paying for a add-on set just for one key.
Hope RaySasQuach gets creative control of this GB, otherwise i'll pass.

What is your opinion on splitting the numpad portion of the full kit into its own separate kit?

I'd rather buy it overpriced from aftermarket than pay Kono a dollar if they wrest control of the GB from Ray.

This has been debated for a while I believe.
I would really like to have that kind of base as well (as I only use 65%), not sure if it will happen.

I am strongly considering this right now actually after talking to a few people about it actually. It is a nice way to bring the price down and the amount of numpad users are kinda low in this hobby I'd imagine.

I strongly hope you don't do this... I am buying up support for basically all kits, and splitting off numpad never seems to reduce the cost more than a few bucks on each kit, but rather increases the cost for me by $30 or so. I was planning to buy two sets of Shoko (one for display only, and another for use), and this will significantly increase the cost... Also, there are a lot of 1800 boards out there, and plenty of full-size users (though I suspect most of those don't participate on GH, or /r/mk much)

If MOQ is 500, base kit split off isn't so bad, as you can get 99 base and 40 numpad. At 250, you're often near 120 base and 40 numpad, and base could have been 125 or 130 with numpad in it.

The base kit is still going to be large without the numpad, it's not going to reach $99 @ 500 MOQ.

The base kit is still going to be large without the numpad, it's not going to reach $99 @ 500 MOQ.

Just depending on how the base kit would be changed to suit the 500 MOQ price point. It's about the kit components and what's added/removed for the sake of utilization.

There's always two sides to a coin.

The majority who buys a base kit for 140 but has 20+ keys they'll possibly never use

The minority who utilizes all keys and pays 140

Say they manage a 500 MOQ theory.

Majority buys a set at 110 (for the lack of real examples) buys all the keys that they need and will ever use

Minority who pays 110+40 who gets everything they need at the cost of an extra 40.

I would lean towards a numpad-less base if a set can manage the MOQ numbers as I side with the majority.

Keep note that kit compositions would be different for both situations.

As a 40s user, a numpad-less base kit is far better for me. It would help me afford the set by quite a bit.

The Obscure kit doesn't even have the keycap that you would want. I would assume the Obscure has R2 and R3 Esc, so there is literally no R1 Blue Esc available.

EDIT: See the bar graph in a later post which uses (Numpad kits) / (TKL Mod kits) so is more representative.

Here are Numpad take rates for some previous (Mass)Drop GBs.

<-- this graph's take rates are artificially low because it's using (Numpad kits) / (Alpha kits).  Alphas are also used on ortho and ergo boards, but Numpads aren't.

Do you have more GMK set data besides Jamon?

Another important thing to note about this is time. I think the trend over time is to favor smaller boards. Just look at the number of 60/65% boards going to GB compared to those there have numpads.

I think a GMK graph would be in order here to be more relevant to the certain situation

Here's more than a few sets to use for referencing

GMK Minimal
GMK Apollo
GMK Dark
GMK Nautilus Nightmares
GMK Peach Blossom
GMK Yugo
GMK Analog Dreams
GMK Cafe
GMK 9009 R3

And don't forget about Bleached.

Just by looking at the numbers at a glance of final numbers, num-pad consists of 1/4 - 1/6 of the base kit estimated.

Warning! Opinions that some may not like. Proceed with caution.

I dislike splitting the numpad unless you are going for a very low price/high MOQ.

This set is a community favourite and I personally contribute it's very "all inclusive" base kit as one of its strong points. If this 2nd round can be achieved at a price similar price to what Kono is running at right now (lmao btw), then it'll sell like hotcakes.

If we follow the mentality of "I don't need it, therefore it should go", then we'd all be running around buying slightly fleshed-out ANSI 60% kits. The kitting would be insane making it so damn expensive for anyone that dares not to use Standard ANSI/Tsangan. Also, if numpad goes then UK-ISO is on the chopping block.  :(

I have a ton of numbers to gather, but I'll try to have a graph in the next few days.

Sets that split everything into a larger number of smaller kits by default (Alphas, Mods, Numpad, etc. for SA, DSA, XDA, KAT/KAM) might better-reflect the market, since cost up/down is not a factor.  Here's something to ponder:


Edit: corrected bad math. Changed to TKL mod ratio rather than Alpha ratio.

This is what I got from Kono when I canceled my order:

Quote
Apologies, the designer for Shoko has been inconsistent — when he disappeared during the original GB we had to finish it without him.
He gave us the go-ahead for Round 2 and agreed to a rough timeline, but ghosted us again and stopped updating the set.
We kept the GB moving by using the files he submitted before the lapse in communications. The kits on the page are what was quoted with GMK for this run.
Hitting stop on the current set would result in delays and losses for everyone, especially during the pandemic.

I've cancelled your Order and issued a refund.

Please let me know if you need anything else,

It sounds like they're trying to blame OP for running this without his knowledge (even if there were communication issues, still don't see how it makes it OK to take OP's designs and do a GB on their own). Also not sure what "delays and losses for everyone" means since I wouldn't expect them to have paid for an order from GMK since GB didn't close yet.

To be fair to Kono what was described here about R1 by Kono was what I observed as well. That was the reason many people did not join R1 afaik. You can still find those comments in the R1 IC page.
Hopefully, OP can come here more often and provide more communication for R2, and I will certainly join now the real pictures came out great.

Loss is with refunds with PayPal or the other pay apps? So someone (buyers, it seems) would be out the ~4% or so for fees?

To be fair to Kono what was described here about R1 by Kono was what I observed as well. That was the reason many people did not join R1 afaik. You can still find those comments in the R1 IC page.
Hopefully, OP can come here more often and provide more communication for R2, and I will certainly join now the real pictures came out great.
To play devil's advocate, Kono probably invested in the renders (those renders look pretty nice) and probably couldn't wait any longer for design changes. There was probably an agreed upon timeline of some sorts.

We’re all just speculating here. Hope OP can clarify soon
I have a build planned around Shoko. Can’t wait!

Really liked Shoko and hope it will happen one way or another. Certainly, I would like to support OP as a designer and creator and refrain from buying from Kono at this moment, but hopefully, more clarity can be provided and it may not be too late to bring Kono on board again by communicating with them about possible new kits.

I even want to do work on some custom case colors for Shoko for Think2020...

Still hoping for that R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn to happen....

If numpad gets split might be more affordable to go all-in (buy all kits) with the **** kitting on kono than buy base + numpad + spacebars all separate; one of the few things that could get me to buy the kono run.
