GMK DOLCH [COMPLETE]

[Halvar]

Yes, you can see that on Ivan's second photo if you look closely.

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes all the sets need to be assembled as the key come in bulk pack with one character per sack. For the next time I can arrange for presort, but it cost 5EUR per set for GMK to do it. I've also got a line on those keycap cases like this...

for about $2/ea which would be nice but will probably make the shipping part harder with more expensive packing box or something due to size. Probably end up about the same cost wise.

[HoffmanMyster]

Yes each key is in its own bag.  See my photo from the Esc Pack GB for a more sane version of what he's got right now.

Sorting the Esc keys isn't too hard, but dealing with over 100 different keys per 'kit'?  Yeah, that's a lot of work.

[TBone]

Ivan, for the sake of time and your leisure, I'm sure most would be willing to cover the sort costs. I know I would in future buys.

You say that now, but the first order to get screwed up at Sorting stage by GMK because maybe our spreadsheets don't fit in so nice with their existing CRM solution, if any, y'all will scream bloody murder

Being said, I do think we should be paying for time spent sorting. Ivan and Hoff appear to be giving their time freely to sort all these. $0/hr adds up. Something to consider for the next buy. Or even this buy if Ivan decides to hold our packs hostage until we pay up >

[domoaligato]

Buyer will be responsible for payment of goods, shipping costs, for all paypal fees, and an additional $4 groupbuy fee.

I would gladly pay more for the groupbuy fee next time.

[FrostyToast]

I would totally throw in some more GB money to pay for Hoff and Ivan sorting our stuff!
Why should the guys at GMK be the only ones getting money for sorting? Someone has to do it

[seedvd]

Hi all,

I would love to have a base set for my incoming LightSaver keyboard. If anybody has an extra base set or want to sell, please let me know.

[tmk1207]

Hi all.

I want a base set and Dolch color pack. If anybody want to sell, please let me know. Thanks

[Oobly]

Wow! That's a lot of work ahead. Thank you for doing all this for us!

I'd also be happy in future to pay more for the GB fee if it saves you all that sorting work.

[bazh]

I would definately pay more to get that presort case )

[Elrick]

Ivan, for the sake of time and your leisure, I'm sure most would be willing to cover the sort costs. I know I would in future buys. 

So Ivan you've decided to not add an extra 5 Euros for sorting these caps out, why?  Do you really think that we are all tight arse, scum bags only interested in getting the absolute, rock bottom prices on key-sets?

I would rather pay you extra in my useless Convict Currency to any value in Euros to make sure you didn't have to count and sort millions of key-caps by your lonesome.  Plus it would of gone faster in shipping so everyone would get theirs sooner.

Don't ever go cheap on GMK sets ever again PLEASE include the extra money for GMK to sort all the keys at their factory, before shipping.

[azhdar]

The truth is Ivan poured all the caps in a pool to swim in it before he ships them to you guys .

Absolutely, I'd rather put money in the pocket of someone from the community if they wanted it.

Wonder what will be Ivans next full set GMK GB

[Limewirelord]

Dunno, it seems like it would make more sense to just pay GMK if they can get it done much faster than a random member on GH for that much.  Maybe the price could be negotiated down for pre-sorting too.

[cooldiscretion]

Rumor has it it is reverse beige.

[BlackDragonTribal]

Yeah same me. Hope Classic White Beige

[chrisq]

I hope it's something a bit more colorful than that, but less than the "manly unicorn" set.

I've used "classic beige" for so many years when it was seemingly the only color scheme for keyboards... 

[bazh]

It's not classic white beige, it's the reverse white beige

Either way, white + beige is the most boring color scheme for keyboards invented by man.

Not something I'd pay a premium for, like we always do with GMK.

Boring and elegant

I would love a Classic Beige GMK GB

[chrisq]

I accept that some people seem to like this, but personally I'm not paying ~$150 for such a set.

We'll just let the market decide

You boring people!

[geniekid]

My personal opinion is that color schemes like Dolch and white/beige are boring by themselves, but are great for using as a base set with splashes of color here and there.  The Dolch color pack was pivotal in convincing me to join this GB.  The white/beige is another scheme that's great for color splashing so I hope there's a similar color pack that goes along with it.  Even if it's something that's already available like CYMK or RGBK it would be nice for people to have an easy way of obtaining these not-rare-but-limited-supply mods.

True. I have found Dolch a fairly boring set but with all of the colour packs and different modifiers I now have you can make a beautiful combination.

Hehe, but what makes that board not look boring as hell is the colored modifiers and special layout.

But as I already said, the market will decide  :p

[IvanIvanovich]

Next will probably be this colorway


in this arrangement with the darker shade on the alphas and lighter on the mods and etc, but for modern keyboards obviously.

There will also be a fall inspired minipack with yellow/orange/red shades to go along with it.

Love it.      Can we please include the B row windowed caps?  Either caps lock or any other key would be awesome (fn, code)

true, but i think Dolch is more versatile than white/beige because the black/grey color scheme inherently lends itself to more possible combinations with color caps. heck, even just a red ESC is enough for Dolch imo. on the other hand, there aren't as many colors that mesh well with white/beige so it's harder to make a good combination with those caps.

[JaccoW]

Ivan, you had me at Minipack

[geniekid]

Ivan, are you planning on running an IC or do you already have the various sets/add-ons decided?

...or are you too busy sorting caps to worry about things like this right now?

[IvanIvanovich]

Key selection will probably be fairly close to what was offered here that made it to production. Will just go straight to buy, no reason to waste time in ICs.
