What is the profile of R0 and R5 keycaps?R0 is F profile, R5 is A profile
Ivan if the color set is going to be like the code key you should show a picture of it so people who don't know can see it.
At the risk of sounding like a complete noob is this set Cherry, OEM, or some other profile? By extension, what profile are the original Dolch in?

I'm out of the ABS full-set game, but that Dolch color pack is damn good. I hope more group buys offer "bits of flair" packs, fun escapes and enters are always nice.
Another noob question, I'm afraid: Would I face any problems buying these keys for my Filco?No. It will fit your filco perfectly.
I hear some 1.25 cherry caps don't jive well with costar stabilizers.

a couple noob questions:
- i know this Dolch set has a somewhat legendary status among enthusiasts, but is there anything special about them aside from aesthetics and rarity? i was considering getting an imsto thick PBT set due to the majority's consensus that PBT >> ABS, but this set is really making me consider otherwise
- is the color tone of the base set closer to in OP's picture or this: http://i.imgur.com/E7IwqKD.png ?
Ivan, I am wondering if there is a price break if the number of orders is very large. If so, what kind of numbers would that happen at.
Think I might have to own a gmk set. :)
Feeling tempted to get all kits. Hard decision...

I actually just messed mine up- ___- I meant to grab the odd pack in my order. Can you fix that for me? Sorry for the inconvenience.
I think I just heard my wallet cry out in fear.
Base + color + extra spacebar for me.Same here!
why there is no win logo on base set?? I love win logo!
Indeed not everyone feel same way about Windows. I like Windows 8.x and it's logo but many do not. I think making it an option is the best way.
This set looks sooooo good. Glad I waited for this.
Let's hit that MOQ everyone! :)

Out of all the ones I've bought and some still waiting to be delivered, I'm more excited about this particular Group Buy because it has everything that's needed to pimp any keyboard into a supreme 100% authentic version of Cherry Goodness. This Group Buy will forever leave an impression of what a real key-set will feel on your fingers compared to anything else made at SP or any other manufacturer in the world today.
Just thank Ivan for arranging this finally for us Dolch Worshipers :thumb: .

Maybe next time purple spacebars? :pI wish they would make a dolch teal one!!!
Oh boy, you've officially got me on the hype train. I was waiting on a set to put on my GON and this set looks like it will fit the bill perfectly :)

Another thing of note is that putting on GMK made key-sets is a dream because it goes on any Cherry made switch that was ever made so easily. It's not tight or loose by any means compared to a whole lot of pain putting on SP made key caps.
Speaking only from experience in buying heaps of SP key-sets whether they be DCS, SA or DSA you will encounter some difficulties in placing them and removing them from any keyboard.
With anything GMK made it's just so simple to remove any key-set from your keyboard but in all actuality, why would you ever consider removing such perfection away from your keyboard?
You do so many amazing GMK GBs, Ivan! What is in the horizon for you? Are other classic cherry keysets, such as classic beige, replicas with hangul... etc. in the way? I'm not sure how I should value this GB and how many sets I should order... :p
I have a question about shipping. Seeing as the keycaps will be made in the EU, will they be shipped directly from there for EU residents? (i.e. no import duties) Or will they make a detour via the US?
It's pretty much for the aesthetics. Yes general consensus is that pbt > abs but this is to replicate the original dolch set as far as possible. Meaning doubleshot legends which can only be done on abs. (Can be done on pbt too but only a certain amount of people have the means of doing so.) these are thick abs caps in cherry profile too. So basically everything thick keycap will apply to them, pbt or not.really appreciate you taking the time to write this post. i actually was looking into an imsto set, which along with thick Cherry/BSP seem to be the most highly regarded PBT sets on the market (better rated than the doubleshot Vortex and any Signatures Plastic sets). not that it matters either way, just gonna save up a little more for this Dolch set
Reason why everyone wants one is cause this is a very good replica. It's not just keycaps in dolch colors. Heck even the original dolch might have even used these if they were still being made. And these were made by the toolings used by cherry to make the original dolch too. I mean, if you don't care for those and just like it for the aesthetics, I'd say that this is already a good enough reason to get it
If you like the vortex, by all means go for it. But just wanna give you a heads up that if you miss this, there's probably no coming back. Whereas the vortex ones will be on sale for quite some time. And if along the way, if you realize why these were so highly sought after, the chance would've been over. There's a reason why people are going crazy over this gb lol
And yes the colors would look similar
This would fit so good on my FILCO with clears. But i really don't know if i should order it. I have 3 DCS sets already and i want to go for a DSA now. But damn this one looks so classy and nice. Really torn :confused:

I've been waiting for this set for years!
Does anyone know if the base set will cover all the keys needed for the Leopold FC660M? I have a feeling the spacebar will be an issue but I can easily fix that.

I was questioning the fc660m spacebar, too. Anyone know?
Leopolds are not compatible with other spacebar since they made the spacing stupid for no reason. Leopold owner should have plate modified/new plate cut with correct spacebar stabilizer size for permanent fix to problem.
For FC660, you will need also ODD pack for second 2.25 shift on right side.
Dolch COLOR pack: is that teal color going to be a custom one? Or is it the currently existing cyan from CMYK?
Also, would be awesome to have a 7x spacebar in that color :thumb:
Yes it is same as the Code key with cyan color.

i have a pbt cherry profile set and it the enter and shift keys grind on the stab wire.
this is abs though, so it may fit properly, but i'm not sure i want to take a 150 euro risk on that :)
MINILA spacebar... it should fit as far as I know unless Minila has something stupid non standard stem spacings? Does a stabilized shift key fit on there? If so we are good.

Who made those cherry profile pbt caps?? Are they imsto caps?
The only way to know why GMK is so awesome is to put your fingers on it. And by the way, since when does "PBT >> ABS" become consensus? A lot people don't know how awesome ABS is just because they never try GMK set. And don't ever base your judgement about PBT and ABS on SP made caps. SP double shot never does ABS the justice. I'm getting rid of all my SP sets after I realized how awesome GMK is.+1

1) Aesthetics.
2) It's s accurate of a replica as it can get of one of the most popular sets around due to point 1 above.
3) Doubleshot and thick abs. Made by the same equipment used to make the original. It might as well be the original already except this is a group buy.
4) Everything you hear about thick keycaps apply to them, even if they're abs. They're still thick and of very good quality.
If I'm not wrong, this is a keycap made by the same company so you can see how it is http://www.geekkeys.com/gmk-white-esc/
5) This groupbuy took a long time to come. And it will probably not come again for a very long time. If along the way in your keyboard journey, you start to realise why these caps were so sought after, I'd rather you be glad you got them, rather than regret that you had the chance and have to wade through tons of classified threads to find these again lol.
6) If for some reason you don't like these, you can always sell them off again rather easily. I'm pretty sure there will be people who have missed this and are looking for a chance to get hold of one from another member. Or if they joined after this gb ended and only realised why they were so good after the gb ended and were unable to get one.
7) Based on those reasons above, you don't really have a reason not to get one, unless it's cause of finanicial issues. Friend's birthday? Get a dolch. your birthday? Get a dolch. Lamp died? Get a dolch. Thermostat too cold? Get a dolch.
Hope this helps!

It does, you've actually won me over pretty fast! But now im concerned, and here's why; I already have a thick set, it's PBT, but it's thick. Now the problem is that the thickness causes a rattle when put on my costar stab buttons on my FILCO because the inner wall is too thick and the stabs hit it while im typing. Again, i'm torn. I have more information thanks to you, but i'm torn :confused:

Ultra tight fitting Retro Key-set, broke a couple stems off the keys removing them from my Filco's, WASD's and a couple of Leopold's (hated that). Same with Miami, Valentine V1, 23 Commando (1 stem broke), CC&G R2 (2 stems), Red Alert V1, Sanctuary and Hazard Keyset.
You might be wondering why I keep buying SP key-sets because I have lots more that haven't broke sitting in quite a few working keyboards. Just be aware that a certain percentage of poorly built keys still get shipped out without SP even bothering to use any decent quality checking procedures.
Of course now when buying any further SP made key-sets I still need to buy a tub of KY to fit the keys onto each keyboard now. Amazing how a little lubricant can save you from any hardship :thumb: .
The arrow key in Color pack isn't meant to go on the cursor, it's for WASD... game movement keys.Oh, of course. How could I be so stupid :P
The problem actually is not from the thickness, it's from the wrapping of the imsto pbt caps. I have used imsto pbt on my Filco in the past. The wall of the imsto pbt caps wrapped inside a little bit, so the Costar stabilizer would hit the wall of the keycaps, and stuck the keycaps. But since GMK keycaps won't wrap, GMK keycaps fit perfectly on Filco or any other board that use Costar stabilizer.

Legit question; Did you mean to type warp/warped as in bent or distorted or is wrapping a term I'm just not familiar with?

I'm not sure about your case but in my case, I did not see any issue with Imsto, GMK and SP. Imsto and GMK have similar profile and they all work correctly on Filco, QFR with Costa Stabilizers. Indeed, we need the Teflon tape to make the Costa Inserts tightened into the keycap stem. If we make them right, everything is good but we put them into incorrect position like I had in the example, the stabs will hit back to the keycap and that perhaps the situation you faced.

Don't worry too much, this GB is all about GMK Dolch keycap, it is all good for your Filco, Ducky, KMAC, Cherry G80, etc.

we really should take this discussion to another thread and not this groupbuy...
why? it is a perfectly legitimate concern in my opinion. i like the colorway and i would like to get in on this group buy, but 100+ euro is too much to just have them sitting on my shelf just because they would not fit, or having to go through the hassle or reselling them because of the same thing.
personally, i have never had a GMK set on any of my boards, but i have grown weary of the cherry profile in conjunction with costar stabilized boards (and that is all i ever use). i want to know 100% that this will not be wasted money. i cannot think of a better place to discuss this.
GMK sets don't have any fit issues, those are PBT dyesub sets that have that issue.

I've got 3 GMK sets all in ABS and they are perfect in fit and removal from any Korean and Filco Keyboard in my possession. The only real misery comes from SP made key-sets which are all documented here on GH, hence if you want to suffer non fitment on your keyboard go buy another SP set. But if you want a key-set actually designed for the Cherry switch then you need to get this one.
We always get this bullsh1t relating to fitment to Cherry or Filco Keyboards when a GMK group buy starts yet when SP runs any Group Buy the shills go all quiet with no comments. Is this some type of nasty smear upon another GMK group buy for no other reason than to force any gullible into buying only SP made key-sets?
Because I've been here for years I've seen this always sneak into a GMK GB and it tries to scare people away from buying it. Very underhanded and down right disgusting since with every GMK group buy those very same concerns relating to costar fitment, has been addressed.

Its pretty funny that people try and talk **** about GMK caps when you consider that they're using Cherry's original tooling.

can you please point out any1 talking **** about GMK in this thread? i fail to see anyone. i for one am only voicing my personal concern about a pretty costly GB i want to take part in, regarding CHERRY PROFILE KEYCAPS, regardless of manufacturer.
elrick, your trolling tinfoil hat and flamebaiting attitude is not funny anymore. yes, everyone is an agent of SP, out to screw a GMK group buy, for reals!
edit: bueller, this is a legit question, even at the cost of making a total moron out of myself: what does GMK using original cherry equipment does have to do with the cherry profile caps fitting or not fitting costar stabs? my impression was that cherry uses cherry stabilizers, not costar? care to elaborate on that? not trolling, i'm genuinely interested.

You are literally the only one on the forum conducting a smear campaign against a keycap manufacturer.
@ivan: is it possible to get the current numbers we are at for each set in the OP and updated every few days? I found that really helped drive participation and ordering in the granite GB. When people could see which sets were lagging behind or were at risk of not hitting the MOQ, the thread would get behind them and make it happen.
With the buzz we have in this thread right now I feel like it could only help.

They are a bit lighter than that to be honest. The spacebar is black, the rest is SkiData charcoal grey.Ivan if the color set is going to be like the code key you should show a picture of it so people who don't know can see it.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/79fHD5t.jpg)

I have probably read this before somewhere but, Is the reason that we do not have the options for windowed stepped capslock that they have to be pad printed?
SP only offers a pad printed version. I was hoping gmk would be better than that.

I'm sorry to hear that you face some problems with Costa stabilizers.
However, like I said before, I did not face that problem so I can confirm that SP, GMK and Imsto are all good for Costa stabilizer keyboards.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=58608.0;attach=65832;image)
In this particular case, if you really wonder if GMK keycap can fit into a Costa stabilizers perfectly or not, I think you can watch these videos created by GH member, VesperSAINT. In these videos, apparently, VesperSAINT used GMK keycap on the modifiers. Everything is perfect.
Plus, I suggest you can use the search function to view how many beautiful combinations of GMK and Costa stabilizers, and Cherry stabilizers too, on GeekHack, of course.
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gmk+keycap+filco+site:geekhack.org&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X
When you feel satisfied with GMK keycaps, don't forget to follow the GB and support the OP to have MOQ ;D.
Actually, I supported all SP, GMK, Imsto and whatever nice keycap set in this forum so personally, I think we can always find a solution for any issue.
MINILA spacebar... it should fit as far as I know unless Minila has something stupid non standard stem spacings? Does a stabilized shift key fit on there? If so we are good.
Doesn't look good - Minila spacebar below, right shift above. Does this mean a no-go?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/EW9d1MB.jpg)
Do you happen to have any other sets laying around that you could compare other shift keys to this spacebar?
miniLA Spacebar is 3x, so a 2.75x shift won't fit it. I've tried a bunch of them. You have to get a 3x key.
well maybe you could start a gmk dolch 3x minila spacebar intrest check and see how many people actually would be interested in buying some :D
Anyone ordering the extra pack and wanting to sell the r3 control, I'm your man.

ALL sets are locked in content. I will not be changing any options at all, no keys will be added or legends changed. I realize some people wishlist is a bit different, and that some don't mind to pay more for additional keys. But I really just want to get one full set buy done and I feel starting with something a little more pared down and less expensive is a good tactic. Assuming that we actually manage to get this in production, we can tweak options / expand key packs in future buys.

Holy crap november, is it that long? I'm down to wait and all, hopefully sooner, not sure how fast GMK is.
Probably August/September. GMK production time is quick, shipping to me is quick... I don't know how long it will take me to sort XXX full sets plus all the rest... now THAT might cause some delay.

You've got to remember that there are delays for ordering, invoicing, payment, then Ivan paying GMK, then production, shipping, sorting at Ivan's, then shipping to us. Some of those are only a few days, while others might be a month long. Typically GMK is quite speedy, but it still takes a few months to get everything to your doorstep. :)

By the way, are these the same nuances/colors that come in for the set of this group buy? If so, i think i really will order one. God i am spending so much money on keyboard related stuff lately ... :-X
Order placed. This really needs to go through

What is the price of the spacebar? (and what all is included in that?)
I ctrl+f the OP but couldn't find any information about this set, just that "SPACE" was at 60 orders as of now.

It's in the order form.
It is $6 for a set of 2 spacebars (both 6.25 and 7).
I am not sure I can shell out this kind of money for an abs set of keycaps. I just scavenged a cherry set for my Filco too. Oh the humanity :P

How would an original Cherry set fit on a Filco? Cherry uses a different caps lock, and the bottom row is different on most Cherry sets, too.
MX8000 series is pretty much a direct fit for Filco and etc. if you don't mind relegendable... the spacebar is still incompatible though.
If you are unsure your order/want to change it and didn't save the order link or it doesn't work... please just resubmit the form. Only the most recent entry is kept. It saves us both time to do it this way rather than ask me to check it/edit for you.
Why all the SP hate in this thread lol. What did they do to wrong us?
Ultra tight fitting Retro Key-set, broke a couple stems off the keys removing them from my Filco's, WASD's and a couple of Leopold's (hated that). Same with Miami, Valentine V1, 23 Commando (1 stem broke), CC&G R2 (2 stems), Red Alert V1, Sanctuary and Hazard Keyset.
You might be wondering why I keep buying SP key-sets because I have lots more that haven't broke sitting in quite a few working keyboards. Just be aware that a certain percentage of poorly built keys still get shipped out without SP even bothering to use any decent quality checking procedures.
Of course now when buying any further SP made key-sets I still need to buy a tub of KY to fit the keys onto each keyboard now. Amazing how a little lubricant can save you from any hardship :thumb: .
So we're doing more Dolch?

im guessing ivan wants at least 1 GMK fullset GB he's trying to run to hit MOQ
I would like to do some different things, with other colorways... but I always worry they won't make MOQ on full sets. Even small color packs may be very tough for some combinations.
Maybe you should work on your pulling technique - I have all the sets and boards you mentioned (except WASD) and never broke a single stem.
Dafuq are you doing? Ripping off the caps with your teeth :p
how much for each extra spacebar??~$6 USD for a pack of 6.25u and 7u spacebar.
How high would the profile be of the ergodox mods? I'm hoping they're similar to the low-profile ones on the Cherry MX Board 2.0 (middle one here).
(Attachment Link)
edit: Haha just realized that there'd need to be another 243 ergodox orders over the next two days for this to happen. :))

Those low profile caps from the G80-3800 are devlin caps I believe not GMK or cherry. And orders close July 1st not June 1st.
Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of buying extra space bars if a 6.25 and 7 already come with the base set?
I'm a sucker for the colored keys so I ordered the color pack (more GMK esc keys :D).
Almost half way to MOQ on BASE :)Yeah very quickly while we have around a month :) I feel base, color, spacebar 'll hit MOQ soon :3
Does the color of the dolch spacebar differ from the color of the classic beige spacebar by a large margin?
Keys come as show in the first post.
Leopolds are not compatible with other spacebar since they made the spacing stupid for no reason. Leopold owner should have plate modified/new plate cut with correct spacebar stabilizer size for permanent fix to problem.
Updated my order to include some extra space bars. I have a feeling these will become my most used keycap sets, so I may as well spend a little extra to make them last.how long does a well-made ABS typically last?

GMK is extremely high quality, it'll last a while.
How would the quality of these compare to some original Cherry doubleshoots? I just put a set of Cherry doubleshoots on my Filco.
I've been strongly considering getting the base set + color pack. Does anyone know if I would have any issues putting that on the Duck Viper second configuration with the small shift key on the right? Granted that's hoping the duck interest check turns into a group buy as well.

I am also planning on buying this set along with the Viper. The 1.5x shift and 1x R3 key should fit on the right end if you're planning on using that for the fn layer. Also, the GB should be coming up sometime this month.

It's a 1.75 right shift... and that is included in the base set.
Just to double check, shouldn't it be 1x R4 key?
Leopolds are not compatible with other spacebar since they made the spacing stupid for no reason. Leopold owner should have plate modified/new plate cut with correct spacebar stabilizer size for permanent fix to problem.
So just to clarify what type of Spacebar is it? 3 or 4 stemmed?
I have the Leopold 750R so a Universal (5-6 stem) Spacebar would work, though I'm guessing the bar with this set is not Universal.

Ivan?
Leopold has what like 3 different stem spacing on their spacebar on various models, none of which are standard to anything else. As usual I simply recommend to have your Leopold plate modified to use standard stabilizer so this problem is resolved permanently.
Newer production sets should have universal spacebar which fits Leopold.
I have no idea to what context that is... so either I was talking about some other sets like those available for Keycool and etc, or I was wrong about something.
GMK space bars (from the recent buy) have but one pair of outer stems, and the distance center to center between them is 100 mm, like on a Filco or a Cherry MX-3000.
order that color pack just for the winkeys :)

I am considering the same here. I still have time to make my mind.
Lots of discussion about the 750R but what about the FC660M. Really what I was getting the set for. Not that I'll be backing out, but still wondering.
Thanks
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunate, but I will live. Might have to have two Pokers with Dolch on them. Different profiles, so things could be worse.Lots of discussion about the 750R but what about the FC660M. Really what I was getting the set for. Not that I'll be backing out, but still wondering.

Nah, looks like it's going to be 3 stem. Even if it was universal it wouldn't work...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/yN2LYfh.png)
spacebar is the #1 reason i sold my 700R =(
I can ask about that again on the 6.25 spacebar... it might be possible.
We still need all the help we can get. Even if one can't afford the full set perhaps a color pack. It's still helping an option to reach the moq.

I tattooed the URL on my forehead so the general public knows.
Basically, when the deadline comes around I will look to see how close options are to MOQ. At that time I may decide 1 time extension may help if it is very close to making the amount, or possibly just take advantage of the moq shortfall pledges if there is enough assistance from that.

as stupid as this sounds, the lack of a grey winkey is making me hesitate in joining.
yeah i have no interest in the color pack winkey.
I am getting the base kit already. The only keys I wish I could get would be the dark color for the [ | \ ] key and the [ ~ ` ] key.
I am guessing these are not available due to the historic mold setup...
Yes, well basically I just made the colorscheme same as the original... there is nothing more to that decision. It's impossible to please every buyer... but I tried to come up with the best compromises I think in most cases on key selection. It's not going to change for this buy. I think changing things midway can create other problems and confusion which I don't want. Next time there is an IC is when you should bring up these topics.

Forgive my ignorance but does the "ODD mod+nav" add on set include a space bar that will fit the choc mini? (the second version) I couldn't work out the lengths. :-[
I will be purchasing a set later this month when I get the funds to do so. There are probably quite a few others holding out until the end so don't fret :D
Are there deals on hhkb?
2 unit shift is in ODD pack.Oh ok. I 'm very happy beacause finally i can found double shot set for my mx11800. Thanks :thumb:
Just came all over my keyboard. Ordering replacements asap. I just have to decide which addon packs I should take.

No, GMK does not have mold for that size to offer. Only 6.25 and 7 size spacebar is available. Odd pack have what is technically blank shift keys that will work on some Japan layout keyboards and possibly some that have a split space like 5000.
Everyone drools over Dolch. Everyone always wants and requests Dolch until it's offered. Let's step up to the plate guys and put our money down. I don't have an extra 13 grand laying around but that's about how far we are off at this point. I don't think Ivan has that much around either. Sherry might and 7 bit might be able to swing it so if we want this to go through step up guys. I bought my share and my wallet is still flinching about the possible invoice but I want this group buy to go to completion.
I put down an order for a base set, still deciding whether I should get a color pack. They seem to be so popular. What is the attraction? I might only end up using the teal enter, which doesn't quite justify the $24.
Either a MOQ of 250 isn't feasible any more (which can't really be changed I guess) or people who are active on other sites could help by advocating for group buys there. I added another set to my order for whatever that's worth :/

Don't worry about not making MOQ... :cool:
Order will be placed in a couple hours.
Ivan, if possible, could we get an updated list? Thanks.

Almost there on BASE and COLOR!
I am kind of surprised there is so few ODD order still... I thought there were more 75% people than this. I am sad there isn't more F'n'A orders... too little love for the oldschool.

Thanks to those that order 'extra' items to help with MOQ. Also always to think, while you might not need some keys this moment, you never know when you might pick up some other keyboards. It might be really nice to have some keys for almost anything.
google doc isn't loading for me at the time of typing.
Please all if want to make changes just resubmit the form if your previous order link isn't working. Your old order will be replaced with your new order.

Ivan,
Please forgive my extreme ignorance here but whereabouts have you posted a link to the current orders that were placed? I would like to check what I have ordered to see if I need to get any more GMK goodness before the deadline hits me.
Just don't want to miss out on anything here. Thanks :thumb: .
Why don't you just resubmit a new form with everything you want? He says it'll just replace the old one.
whoa, so the GMK doubleshots are even thicker? i really hope they will fit the costars good :XI have a few GMK sets and all of them work perfectly with costar stabs, so I don't think you have anything to worry about.
guys, can any1 link me to a comparison between GMK ABS and imsto PBT thickness?

where did you buy that set? :o
Yes they are about same thick and of course the profile is same. GMK/Cherry doubleshot generally don't have issue with costar stabilizer as ABS is not prone to warp like PBT. I think that is reason a lot of have problem with PBT as if you look on the longer keys they are often slightly bowed on the side wall which catches. It's not even only problem with imsto's but can be on BSP or Cherry vintage PBTs too. It's not really the thickness that is issue.

Order more ODD packs please so I can get my R3 control. Thank you.
I see many people have ordered additional spacebars. Can someone explain why? The base pack comes with both sizes, why is it desirable to have > 1 of each size?

Are the modifiers on Dolch black or a dark charcoal grey?
Ordered some stuff. Wish I needed a 3rd set of Dolch but I hardly use one set at a time as is *shrug*
I just decided to order a set to compare it to my vintage sets.
will this include 6u spacebar for fc660? Thanks.
whats the color of spacebar on this gmk dolch? regular black?will this include 6u spacebar for fc660? Thanks.
No, GMK only has molds for 6.25x and 7.00x spacebars.

But I guess that's my username
I didn't realise that this was an underwear GB.
I'm not complaining.
We are only 26 base sets away from MOQ!
Minus some last minute cancelations we only need another ~50 orders. It's looking really good!
I am so happy that we finally will suceed with a GMK GB for a full set.
Thanks for not giving up Ivan! I really appreciate all the work you put into your GMK GBs in the last couple of months :thumb:
I'm "" this close to ordering the Dolch Base just to get the number-only tenkeys. Very tempting.
Alright, someone convince me to buy these. I've got the money, just can't seem to bite the bullet.Buy it + wait for the Dolch drought = trade for BroCap/CC!!!
This will be my second keyset purchase, so I'll likely use them on my filco for a while before even thinking about reselling them. And the fact that they're GMK makes it a much more solid set. What do you guys think of the $15 tai hao dolch set GB right now?I wouldn't waste my time... But! That's just me.
Thanks for the offer Spamray. QQ: does your TK set have the numbers-only legends? I.e. no arrows and no Home/PgUp/PgDN/ENd legends? I've already got a full set with the dual legends on the TKs.
Cheers,
K

Ordered 3 sets of that (and might order more), 1 set of this.
Why?
Can't really justify more than one GMK Dolch (with thick IMSTO dyesubs and two thick blank PBTs from Ivan's last GB), but the TaiHao sets can always go on any board I build that I don't desire as an extremely "high quality" board (basically, a board that's not a custom board).
Additionally, if I ever find that I just have one or two sitting around, I plan on just selling at around GB price - it's cheap (and looks nice enough) that people getting into mechanical keyboards or people who just happened to miss the GB would want to buy it anyways.

IMSTO ≠ GMK. I would't consider IMSTO's caps as high quality caps as GMK, but that's just me. (And Ivan's PBT set is made by IMSTO BTW.)

Does GMK make pbt too? And also, I believe the black set was made by plum, which actually even makes me a little more dubious about its quality, but my point is that I already have some nice quality sets on the way and here, and have dropped a good chunk of money on keyboard paraphernalia. Taihao set doesn't dent my wallet nearly as much as these do.
i will jump in on this, but only if
1. the GMK orders are shipped from germany within the EU (which i think is unlikely unless Ivan has a eu proxy)
or
2. the package is declared a low value
it's really crappy to have to pay VAT and import taxes almost the same amount as the set price :X
just typing this because this is probably the biggest downside of buying stuff from SP and i want to avoid that in the future...
care to comment ivan?
thanks
i will jump in on this, but only ifI did the math once (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=3606311&postcount=20476). Basically its cheaper to have it shipped to the US and then sent back for both US and EU buyers than to use an EU proxy because then you have to pay German VAT and US buyers would pay 20-30 dollars more.

Ivan always GIVES us the best deal in keycaps!HAD to drastically modify my post because I do not want any harm to occur to our brilliant Group Buy organizer. This is the typical "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" type of post 8) .
Do i pledge by replying here?
1x Base set for me.
Alright, someone convince me to buy these. I've got the money, just can't seem to bite the bullet.
Try to win me over by telling me why this set is so special and so good:) I don't quite know the difference between this set and the standard ABS Doubleshots.
And yes, i know he's doing us all a favor, this set seems to be very popular. Great job with launching this GB! :thumb:
1) Aesthetics.
2) It's s accurate of a replica as it can get of one of the most popular sets around due to point 1 above.
3) Doubleshot and thick abs. Made by the same equipment used to make the original. It might as well be the original already except this is a group buy.
4) Everything you hear about thick keycaps apply to them, even if they're abs. They're still thick and of very good quality.
If I'm not wrong, this is a keycap made by the same company so you can see how it is http://www.geekkeys.com/gmk-white-esc/
5) This groupbuy took a long time to come. And it will probably not come again for a very long time. If along the way in your keyboard journey, you start to realise why these caps were so sought after, I'd rather you be glad you got them, rather than regret that you had the chance and have to wade through tons of classified threads to find these again lol.
6) If for some reason you don't like these, you can always sell them off again rather easily. I'm pretty sure there will be people who have missed this and are looking for a chance to get hold of one from another member. Or if they joined after this gb ended and only realised why they were so good after the gb ended and were unable to get one.
7) Based on those reasons above, you don't really have a reason not to get one, unless it's cause of finanicial issues. Friend's birthday? Get a dolch. your birthday? Get a dolch. Lamp died? Get a dolch. Thermostat too cold? Get a dolch.
Hope this helps!
It does, you've actually won me over pretty fast! But now im concerned, and here's why; I already have a thick set, it's PBT, but it's thick. Now the problem is that the thickness causes a rattle when put on my costar stab buttons on my FILCO because the inner wall is too thick and the stabs hit it while im typing. Again, i'm torn. I have more information thanks to you, but i'm torn :confused:
It's pretty much for the aesthetics. Yes general consensus is that pbt > abs but this is to replicate the original dolch set as far as possible. Meaning doubleshot legends which can only be done on abs. (Can be done on pbt too but only a certain amount of people have the means of doing so.) these are thick abs caps in cherry profile too. So basically everything thick keycap will apply to them, pbt or not.really appreciate you taking the time to write this post. i actually was looking into an imsto set, which along with thick Cherry/BSP seem to be the most highly regarded PBT sets on the market (better rated than the doubleshot Vortex and any Signatures Plastic sets). not that it matters either way, just gonna save up a little more for this Dolch set
Reason why everyone wants one is cause this is a very good replica. It's not just keycaps in dolch colors. Heck even the original dolch might have even used these if they were still being made. And these were made by the toolings used by cherry to make the original dolch too. I mean, if you don't care for those and just like it for the aesthetics, I'd say that this is already a good enough reason to get it
If you like the vortex, by all means go for it. But just wanna give you a heads up that if you miss this, there's probably no coming back. Whereas the vortex ones will be on sale for quite some time. And if along the way, if you realize why these were so highly sought after, the chance would've been over. There's a reason why people are going crazy over this gb lol
And yes the colors would look similar
@LechnerDE: And you thank him by shouting it out to the world ... ::)

Submit a new order including the sets you wanted. Google docs will override your current order. :)
Is it okay just to use the URL they provide after you submit your form to edit the order?Yes, I did that in Ivan's purple buy and it worked.
How long does it usually take after the groupbuy completes for the sets to be produced and shipped out?
Still might try and find a mod set with text legends, any idea where I could find some?After market. Round 3 (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_Round3) had mods without any symbols but different font , Originative Dolch combines text and symbols.
Thanks for the info. Yeah originative was my favorite combination of symbols and text. But that's out of stock, and I have no idea whether or not I can expect any more from them. And I don't wanna mismatch fonts either, so I'll probably stick with the legends on this GB. I'm pretty sure I'll learn to like them.Still might try and find a mod set with text legends, any idea where I could find some?After market.

I hope it makes the MOQ too... and I am still surprised it has so few orders considering how popular some of the boards it caters to have been. I know it adds cost on top of the base set but... it's still 'cheap' for keys that don't exist in this colorway and are a bastard to find in others.

You should hold the order hostage until MOQ is met for the oddmods >:D
I reallllly want as base set. Need to start seeing where I can squeeze the budget before deadline!

I see myself only using the alphas and combing them with other Mod sets...
I didn't realize the mods had no text until now. I resubmitted my order for just the color pack and spacebars and no base set. Will keep using my original Dolch set with SP moogle kit I guess. :-(So you prefer an SP moogle kit, that has a different font, a different surface structure, probably a different color, and a different keycap profile / height, to fitting GMK mods when they don't spell out "Shift" or "Return" for you? LOL.
You all better get used to it... as I am not likely to change that aspect. Get used to it or never have any GMK buys. Choice is yours I suppose.
Everything is done for a reason. Non text mods because of better ISO compatibility as the 1.25 shift with text looks nuts to me and text and no text versions have different vertical legend alignment so mixing is a poor option. There are only numbers on the tenkey because of some standalone numpads and boards like CM TK or Plum96 that have some non standard edit key layout or other... and besides it looks nice and clean and more uniform with the alpha block. Blank Windows keys because I was sick of the arguments about which logo style and complaints from OSX and nix users.
You all better get used to it... as I am not likely to change that aspect. Get used to it or never have any GMK buys. Choice is yours I suppose.

Different strokes...
I suppose that depends on your definition of nice. You can find white on black, black on beige doubleshots or DE dyesubs almost any week. Certainly other colorways are much fewer and far between since there are only a handful of boards that had such which probably had much smaller production in their lifetime.
wyse sets. they are all over the place.
That color is actually from UV damage... it's not supposed to look like that at all. Those keys were actually originally bright blue.

Dear Ivan,
If you require extra shipping payment that provides tracking info and insurance from your place please let me know?
I will not lose this Key-set to the idiot postal morons out there, without money being offered to protect me from their mistakes.
I have no problem sending thing insured with express if you want to pay for that. Just PM me about it when it's invoice time.
The cost of insurance is based on the total value you insure it on... I think probably most people wouldn't need to pay more than $6 extra for it.
For international folks, remember you get a trade off on insurance. You will have some recourse if it is lost or damage, but the EXACT TRUE value must be marked so be prepared to pay import fee.

Looks like ODD will not make it. Part of me is sad, but part of me is glad I won't be paying $55 for an R3 Control key :-\
I ordered some more keys about a week or two ago although I haven't been invoiced for it yet. I know that editing your current order replaces the old one, but I already paid for a color pack so that doesn't need to be invoiced again.You did? Was that a personal thing between you and Ivan because invoices have not went out yet.

I really wanted that R3 Control key though :(
And maybe even those extra shift-size keys in case I wanted to build a double space layout or something weird like that.
If you were to include the delete key from the color pack, is the R3 control the only additional key that is needed for a full 'HHKB' layout set?
Yea, that reminds me. I havent gotten anything in my mailbox either. Didnt get any, when i updatet my order, to include another spacebar either
Ok. First groupbuy for me. So not 100% sure how things go :)

You have chosen an excellent GB to start with - Ivan's GBs always run very smoothly :)
Normally I never agree with Rowdy but in this case he's absolutely RIGHT :thumb: . With every Group Buy Ivan has run and made MOQ, got made and shipped to my place here, so I trust him entirely to pull this one off successfully.
He's always done it before hence he shall do it again with ease, I expect the full on GMK goodness to fill my keyboards soon 8) .

huehue, learning quick. :))
As for the deadline, I am hoping that 1 July we have reached the MOQ on the base set as well... hopefully more of other kit options too. Assuming that is the case I will start invoice on 2 July and have payment deadline of 15 July.

I'm in for base set, color pack, and ODD. I'd like to have a R3 control key :(.

Damn, you would think more people would want F&A, I guess alot of people have no use for 1.5 modifiers. Are there no 1.25 A profile molds?

isn't f and a pad printed? at least a lot of keys?
I remember this has been asked before. But it must have been buried so deep in this thread that I can't find it. What should I do to modify my order if I didn't save the link?
Yeah, I guess it's expensive for what you actually get.Damn, you would think more people would want F&A, I guess alot of people have no use for 1.5 modifiers. Are there no 1.25 A profile molds?
Well, there are already 1.5 mods included in the base pack. The F&A pack is pretty expensive on top of an already expensive set.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing as A-profile 1.25 mods.
Yeah, I guess it's expensive for what you actually get.

So what's stopping you from buying any key-sets from Signature Plastics, if GMK is so 'expensive' ?
hehe, it actually IS expensive, that's a fact. at least by most standards it is. making it look like it's not won't change it.
whether it is WORTH it, that's a whole different story.
I personally don't care about the price, but I'm sure there are other people who don't want to spend 35€ on some caps that are similar to the ones in the base kit.Yeah, I guess it's expensive for what you actually get.
So what's stopping you from buying any key-sets from Signature Plastics, if GMK is so 'expensive' ?
That kit is all doubleshot except the windowed keys (well technically they are too) and the scroll lock and pause keys would be pad print since the inserts on those for F row seem to have been lost.

Yes no one is denying that GMK full key-set is expensive BUT when you have these installed into your keyboard (whether it be Filco, Leopold, GON, Kmac, etc) you shall see what all the fuss is about.
Very few people ever sell their original GMK keysets in the classifieds unless they jumped on over to the 'darkside (thorpie camp)'.
When you do have authentic Cherry Profile installed into your keyboard there is very little chance for SP to ever get a look-in, into that same keyboard.

ordered base + color + space
ordered base + color + space
Can't resist picking up a base w/ color pack. Are there any examples of what thickness and profile this will look like? Will this be with the same molds original dolch sets were made from? Didn't GMK buy those from Cherry?
What's the reason for getting another spacebar?
LEOPOLD owners: I have heard back regarding getting the additional stems on the 6.25 spacebar for Leopold compatibility. Unfortunately at this time GMK is not prepared to offer the tooling change to accommodate this.
Hey Ivan, just want to make sure my order went through and see if I can tack on another spacebar?
really want to add a colour pack to my base order but the base MOQ is so tight, and I dont want the colour pack without the base.
can i add the colour pack and if the worst happens and the base set doesnt happen can i cancel the colour pack?
Pretty sure Ivan said we already hit MOQ with the base set.
Even if there are cancelations I assume many members (including me) will order a second set to ensure this GB is succesful!
I wouldn't worry about the MOQ and cancellations right now. Just order whatever you like and we will see what is happening around the 15 July when the payment deadline is reached. If there is too many cancellations/non paid orders then we can take steps to try and solve that problem.
Count me in on that! I need my Dolch :o

Yes yes, you'll literally have a pool of dolch; does that mean I get to go to your place to pick my order up?
hehehe
I'm starting to get excited! Bout time we pull off a full set GMK buy.
=( I was going to order a set for my FC660M, but it requires the Odd mod set. That didn't reach the minimum and I don't have the budget to order two Base sets. Maybe next time.

What keys are missing from the base for the FC660M? Is it only the right shift key?
Thanks. Guess ill be taking another base set.=( I was going to order a set for my FC660M, but it requires the Odd mod set. That didn't reach the minimum and I don't have the budget to order two Base sets. Maybe next time.

Yes, the right shift. It's the same size as the left shift on the FC660M
How long does it usually take for GMK to produce an order like this?
:0 That fast?? Let's hope so!How long does it usually take for GMK to produce an order like this?
~4 weeks
They were always pretty fast in the past.
I always wondered: Does GMK pre-sort all the sets, or are all the same, individual keys packed in a bag?
Don't get too excited ;D
It will take some time until the last invoice is paid and the order can be placed. And after Ivan receives the keys he has to sort and pack ~300 orders.
So just forget about this GB and be surprised when a package is delivered to your door ;)
Where do I pay.

That's exactly why I never join group buys unless I'm completely hammered, on the edge of passing out. It's the best kind of surprise. Except when I'm broke. And then I have 10 packs of a keycap set. Maybe I should rethink my strategy. :))
I'm really surprised that the ODD set didn't make it. So many people build/buy special layout keyboards that I would think this set would've been a given. Oh well, still looking forward to the base set :)I need it for my 1800 and the lightsaver... :-*

Same here, there isn't much love for our 1800 series keyboards so I still hope it might make it. Please Ivan ODD is a basic requirement for us lot here :thumb: .
Upped my order of ODD to 5. If a miracle happens I will be selling one offs for a looooong time
Sad thing about this logic is how it doesn't work with GMK at all. Either the odd set hits MOQ, which means it isn't rare at all any more, or it doesn't in which case you don't get it. ;)Upped my order of ODD to 5. If a miracle happens I will be selling one offs for a looooong time
To all the tossers who won't buy any ODD's just remember them when it comes a couple of years from now, when they get a rare Cherry Keyboard requiring these sets.
I would personally charge those bastards a minimum of $300.00USD for that rare ODD set. Just to teach them no such thing as a free ride here on Geekhack when you originally had the opportunity to own some ODD's in the past.
If the ODD pack goes through I think I am going to make some serious money in the years ahead ;D .

I don't suppose there is any way to negotiate the production of the ODD set at a lower MOQ based on the substantial quantity of the rest of the order? Maybe worth a shot.That'd be cool if they did that.

Invoicing is began. It will probably take me some time to get through all the orders so don't worry if you haven't received invoice on today.
If you want insurance and/or express shipping just contact me before pay the invoice.
For customs amount, it is mark low unless you want insurance. No way around it with insurance as full value must be marked for insurance to be effective.
Will I get a tracking number even when I choose without insurance?

Where will these be shipped from? I'll be shipping from my house in the USA, so hoping I won't have to worry about customs with insured shipping.
Will be a nice Xmas gift!Might be a bit hopeful :P

It's not a good idea to put your email here, your id should be enough for Ivan. I would edit it out.

Yeah I was confused at first. Very fair price. I figured at least the price of a small flat rate box in the states. I guess US orders are going out first class in bubble wrappers?
Paid!
I think one reason people post just to say they have paid is so that they have a record in the thread that they did. Another good thing is that it reminds people that payments are coming in and perhaps encourages people to go ahead and pay.
No, there is a payment deadline of 15 July. If they haven't paid their **** gets cancelled and they don't get anything. I think that is a pretty good incentive.
Hey Ivan, if you'll need any help with packing and shipping these, let me know. I'm more than happy to stop down and spend some time helping. Only downside is I'm a little bit further away now, but that's no issue for me. Now I have weekends free, so I'm good to go. I'll just need to be extra careful to avoid those pesky birds. :)) Anyway, open offer to help. :thumb:

btw for production/lead times, i dunno if GMK goes on Holiday in August, but i pretty much just assume all of europe takes the month off in August for holiday/vacationA whole moth, the entire company? Thats crazy. Does everyone save up. What about stores and all that, they get shafted and have to work?

It's vacation time, so I would think they're still paid. I assume that "essentials" like food stores would stay open, perhaps at reduced hours? No idea, I'm not from there, but that would seem reasonable to me.

Why would you assume this?
This is not Chinese New Year. It's just the holiday season which means a couple of workers might not be there. Every company bigger than 3 people will make sure that at least half of the employees are still working.
I doubt this will affect our order in any significant way...
I base this on my job which deals with factories and manufacturing plants throughout Europe. Again maybe gmk differs from the factories I'm dealing with, but all my customers are rushing to get their orders shipped b4 august, and all new orders won't start production until end of august.btw for production/lead times, i dunno if GMK goes on Holiday in August, but i pretty much just assume all of europe takes the month off in August for holiday/vacation

Interesting how my perception as a German totally differs from yours :p
Just for the record. I have 30 days of paid vacation per year plus ~7 national holidays or something. But I only can take days off, if there is somebody who takes care of my most important tasks during my absence (usually a co-worker).
I guess it's the same at GMK. I can't imagine they stop production at all. Would be too inefficent to not use the machines.

How long have you been working for? That's insane. :eek:
These numbers include both mandatory vacation and public holidays. [...]Source (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/01/worlds-most-paid-vacation-days_n_3697394.html)
CEPR reports that the United States is the only nation among advanced economies that does not provide a legal guarantee of paid leave.
Hmm, I'm still unclear on if that's just your vacation days (you pick when you take off) or including national holidays (the government picks for you). If you count both, I technically get 20 paid days off. But I only get 10 vacation days.Redhead, redheads everywhere! :P
Looks like it's time to move to Ireland! (I really wouldn't mind, even without the vacation days... :rolleyes: )
Redhead, redheads everywhere! :P
Those are just the vacation days (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_statutory_minimum_employment_leave_by_country). As a Dutchman for example I have 20 working days (4 weeks) + 9 public holidays.
Not me though. I have a 0-hour contract and can just plan my vacation whenever I want. It's just that if I leave for a long period of time they will ask you to quit.
I got no invoice!!!
Dang. That's crazy. I still don't understand how you people make money! :PWe are just soo extremely productive ... ;)
I need to move to Europe. 30 paid vacation days??
Come to Malaysia. I have 20 paid vacation days and then around 12 or 15 national/state holidays. We have holidays for Chinese New Year, indian's Diwali, Christmas, birthday of Buddha, Muslim New Year. It's a wonder we get anything done here at all.I need to move to Europe. 30 paid vacation days??
Ya. For north america, I am doing pretty well. I get 15 paid vacation days plus something like 6-9 paid national/provincial holidays.

Invoice :thumb:Paid!
Quick question: I forgot to put my GH "handle" on my order / shipping instructions. Is that okay or are you tracking these by email address?
Cheers,

Interesting how my perception as a German totally differs from yours :p
Just for the record. I have 30 days of paid vacation per year plus ~7 national holidays or something. But I only can take days off, if there is somebody who takes care of my most important tasks during my absence (usually a co-worker).
I guess it's the same at GMK. I can't imagine they stop production at all. Would be too inefficent to not use the machines.
How long have you been working for? That's insane. :eek:
We have till the 15th of this month to pay correct?

You guys get Chinese New Year, Christmas, *AND* Diwali?? That sounds incredible. I loved the food when I was in Malaysia and I liked that I could speak Cantonese or English.
Hey guys I love holidays as much as the next guy, but could we take that conversation to another post. Unless it's specifically about what GMK does, it's a little bit off topic. ;)

Well, we have to get over that waiting period somehow!
But you're right, this thread should be about GMK caps ;)
Yes, oh god I want a GMK set so bad. Just look at these! :eek:(http://i.imgur.com/X4LPGGU.jpg)Show Image(http://deskthority.net/w/images/d/d7/GMKEscapes.jpg)

Why? There's not going to be updates for months as we wait for production.
This is a no fun zone ok Hoffman? No joking allowed. Srs face only. :-*
Jaccow, where did you get that blue GMK ESC? (the one all the way to the left of the first row). that's one of my end game caps right there, i didn't even know they exist

Feng had them made for a Chinese group buy. He let people who were part of his recent GMK RGBY group buy add them to their orders.
IIRC, he said that they will become available at some point in his Geekeys store so look out for them there.

Hmm I'm about to order one. Where is that store located?
I meant where is the store shipping from geographically? Are they in the US or overseas?

the photo on feng's site looks different from Jaccow's picture. can anyone who has the key confirm whether it is N5 or V4 blue?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/kF5oFAf.jpg)
The Esc is N5 (same color as these : http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=cds_blu_ctrl), the control keys here are V4: http://www.geekkeys.com/gmk-rgby-doubleshot-keyset/yeah i thought as much :( call me crazy but i would take a V4 blue and N7 green ESC over any Clacks, and almost any Brobots
Hi Ivan, I've yet to pay just having some money issues; when does the payment close?
I can't wait to see the next big keycap set group buy by Ivan. Hopefully it will be something really cool. It would be really cool to get some type of beige stuff going, but I'm sure whatever it is it will be cool.
For the next set, a proper IC will take place though I will likely press a couple ideas I have. Want to do something new for sure not just basic repro.

Dolch-style sets! For example, Green-Dolch = white on N7 for mods and white on AE for alphas. Blue-Dolch = V4 mods + N5 alphas.

Well whatever is next it won't resemble Dolch in any way. No more grey base colors!
Thanks for editing my post - at least now I know how to do it next time :)
No, I wasn't refering to the color scheme. I probably didn't express myself good enough.
I just wanted to show how the kit could be structured.
Bunny's GB had everything in one big kit:
- Numpad
- Tsangan
- both versions of the "~" and "\" keys
- ISO
I think this is also the way to go for any GMK Set.

this would cause the set to start at like $150 shipped.
Ivan tried this b4 and didn't reach MOQ because lots of people were turned off the fact they were force to buy a bunch of keys that they wouldn't be using.
As majority of buyers are using US ANSI, its hard to make people buy the extra keys in that all in one set.
Bunny's able to offer that sort of all in one because SP's costs are lower than GMK's

This Dolch GB had everything I listed except both versions of the "~" and "\" keys in the base set.
So we are talking about 2 keys here - I know there are others who also prefer the symmetric look.
But if Ivan plans to include these keys in add on sets next time I am happy. Unfortunately it wasn't an option this time :(
I just noticed this other group buy that Ivan did:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50935.0
Whoa, that would have been sweet to get my hands on some of those.
Colors can be surprising. There were many haters and non believers when we did the purple mods and CMY the first time out. It's definitely a matter of picking something that looks hot even if you normally wouldn't choose that color. Though I am thinking to use something more neutral colors for the key base and have some colored legends more along the vein ofShow Image(http://42.120.41.196/data/attachment/forum/201402/05/220024azb3s579u7tzf6oq.jpg)
but probably not in red unless it wins out.
I was one of the 40 or so lazy scumbags who haven't paid yet - HAVE NOW :thumb: .I'd think you were the first to pay seeing your enthusiasm!
Ivan please let me know when the payment arrives into your account. Thanks.

You're doing God's work, son.
Red alert GMK. :-s
Maybe you can make slight changes to the sets you offer.
For example I love the symmetric look. I know you swear to the classic look, but adding the "~" and "\" in both color combinations wouldn't cost a fortune.
For me this is the perfect GMK set (minus the novelty caps) - only one big kit:Show Image(https://d1aoqdsbsuo9t3.cloudfront.net/uploads/item_image/file/66/3f8113865ce68f2df049e87bf0bddefa.png)

Ivan needs to do Handarbeit, because NO body else is doing it, including Sherryton (lot of talk but no evidence as usual from him).
Hence Ivan should be the FIRST person to initiate this Group Buy which will put it out amongst us addicts as soon as possible. We definitely need to get this off the ground instead of mincing around here talking about it for the next 3 years on 'maybe' doing it.

The problem with Handarbeit is it's too extravagant. You'll probably get ~50 quick orders after the launch, but I can't imagine to rech MOQ with such a set.
I guess the only chance to ever get such a set is to make two tone GBs that feature those colors, so can you do some mix 'n' match after you finally collected all the colors ;)

Yeah that' s true. But i still worry about MOQ :( We should creat IC to probe
^^ this, MOQ for that was near impossible due to costs and interest, everyone wants to say they want something but they won't speak with their wallets
Tell her you are doing it for the children!^^ this, MOQ for that was near impossible due to costs and interest, everyone wants to say they want something but they won't speak with their wallets
I wish I had the spare $10'000 to sink into this to get made by GMK but my Mrs would kill me in places I will never use again in my lifetime.
She doesn't mind a grand here or there but when it comes to thousands for just one key-set, then there is no way to stay alive after she finds out and she always will. Women seem more sensitive to extravagant purchases then anyone else so unless there is a very 'brilliant' excuse to cover a huge dent in my bank account for a couple of weeks, then it's off the table ::) .
So what you are saying is you are ready to preorder like 100 sets or so? :)) Actually one of the ideas I've been thinking on is 'Miami Nights'. I suppose some people can guess what that will be.

The problem with Handarbeit is it's too extravagant.i don't think extravagant is the right word, but rather gaudy. just an eyesore to me :/ Sanctuary is good but i doubt it will reach MOQ either
Yeah... we need to stick to things that have some chance of making MOQ. I'm not even going to entertain some ideas because I know they won't.
No that was SP set... made to look like the TA UV+blue colorway I suppose.thanks, i didn't know SP sets use Cherry font (or what looks to be)

Well whatever is next it won't resemble Dolch in any way. No more grey base colors!
When I say colored-Dolch I just mean white-on-color alphas with white-on-darker-tint mods, so there would be no greys in there. Perhaps Dolch is a bad term to use. I might try to mock out something this weekend with N7 and UE just to see if it looks as good as it does in my head or not :)
GMK SoWare and Classic Beige :)I would kill for gmk soware

WoAE with WoN7 mods.

WoN5 with WoV4 mods.

Obviously the color accuracy is off, but I don't think the Greens would look that great. The Blues look better though!
why there is no win logo on base set?? I love win logo!Some love some not. Using blank keycaps for "winkey" best decision in my opinion ( I didn't use Windows and window not best typographic glyph).
Just a reminder that the payment due date is coming up tomorrow. There are still 25 people that have left to pay. If you don't pay tomorrow you won't get your order.
Hehe, yeah it's more like $50K but I have premier account and took all the steps with them a long time ago to deal with larger amounts of transactions.

So Ivan you hopefully take some cut, right? At least to compensate you for your time? I mean you do so much for this community I really wouldn't mind paying you $10 per GB set. I don't know about others, but the fact that these sets exists without your work really means a lot to us! Thanks! :thumb:

Isn't that what the GB fee is for?
In other news I am really impressed that so many people actually paid in time. I guess we can easily compensate for the few that didn't pay :)
Anyone know what color code the Cyan in the Color Pack is?
Anyone know what color code the Cyan in the Color Pack is?I believe it's UN6037
It is nice to have a much lower than average cancellation/non-payment percentage on this buy. I only wish it could always be this way.

Someone talk me into this. After the orders closed on the 1st I was kind of kicking myself for not ordering a set. Now that I have a small window for a second chance I'm really trying to talk myself into a base + color set, but having a hard time justifying $150 for ABS keys. I haven't liked *any* of the ABS keys I've typed on since using PBT. Are GMK keys really that different from other ABS keys??

Try to win me over by telling me why this set is so special and so good:) I don't quite know the difference between this set and the standard ABS Doubleshots.
And yes, i know he's doing us all a favor, this set seems to be very popular. Great job with launching this GB! :thumb:
1) Aesthetics.
2) It's s accurate of a replica as it can get of one of the most popular sets around due to point 1 above.
3) Doubleshot and thick abs. Made by the same equipment used to make the original. It might as well be the original already except this is a group buy.
4) Everything you hear about thick keycaps apply to them, even if they're abs. They're still thick and of very good quality.
If I'm not wrong, this is a keycap made by the same company so you can see how it is http://www.geekkeys.com/gmk-white-esc/
5) This groupbuy took a long time to come. And it will probably not come again for a very long time. If along the way in your keyboard journey, you start to realise why these caps were so sought after, I'd rather you be glad you got them, rather than regret that you had the chance and have to wade through tons of classified threads to find these again lol.
6) If for some reason you don't like these, you can always sell them off again rather easily. I'm pretty sure there will be people who have missed this and are looking for a chance to get hold of one from another member. Or if they joined after this gb ended and only realised why they were so good after the gb ended and were unable to get one.
7) Based on those reasons above, you don't really have a reason not to get one, unless it's cause of finanicial issues. Friend's birthday? Get a dolch. your birthday? Get a dolch. Lamp died? Get a dolch. Thermostat too cold? Get a dolch.
Hope this helps!

Purple mods is still the one bugs me the most, it happened before me into keyboard things :( and now they are like gold on the market :(
red alert plzRed mod, grey alpha and white legends!!!
Too bad the add on pack didn't make it :(Buy two sets instead! ;D
Ivan should've added an extra left shift on the main set for the Leopold Fc660m XD.
Got a verification call from PayPal a little while ago about this buy, told them everything was on the up and up and Ivan was a standup guy. They seemed to be aware of the concept of a group buy and verified I realized it would be some time before the product was delivered. Very interesting phone call.

You provided your real telephone number? I never do this, unless it's absolutely necessary - those calls are annoying...

But if there was an actual unauthorized transaction how are they supposed to get a hold of me??
Ha ha, yeah -- I get these mails from PayPal a lot: "There has been a problem with your account, sir. Please use the link below to log in and verify your data. If you don't comply in the next 24 h, we will destroy your account forever and all your money will be lost!" :DBut if there was an actual unauthorized transaction how are they supposed to get a hold of me??Mail? ...

Mail? I can't even remember whether I was asked to provide a number. If yes, I probably made one up :D
Lurked here forever and eventually singed up just to get in on a keycap group buy, this one came around at the perfect time. Couldn't wait to see what these caps were all about so I ordered a GMK Cherry profile ESC from Geekkeys. Must say they put the Filco keycaps to shame, which I'm sure is no surprise to anyone except me. Now I just need to fill the rest of my board with this goodness.
Not sure if it was mentioned yet if GMK has been paid? Just curious. I guess its probably a pain to transfer 50k.
Yeah I can transfer the entire amount out of paypal at once but it still takes a few days, then a few days for the wire to clear. It's in process.
Looking for anyone willing to trade an extra 7x spacebar for a 6.25x.

Yes 7 unit spacebar is included in both the BASE set and in the spacebars add on.
Those are just sample keys in the correct colors that I already had. The color pack with have the little triangle legends as shown in the mock up, not standard cursor arrows.
Hmmm, you're right, I did miss that post. If that had been in the OP, I probably would have bought it. Although, as someone who has color vision deficiency, I'm not sure anything other than the pic of the actual caps would have made me realize how nice they would look.
Oh... yes. By the way there is now something missing from the COLOR pack mock up.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/BdFWVy9.gif)

Colours are delicious. If replace windows logo in color pack to some generic symbols like ▢ / ◊ / O / △ / meta - set will be superb. Anyway thanks for blank 1.25U in base set.
I agree with you, just opinion for future GB, maybe include extra 2 keys for non-windows users.Colours are delicious. If replace windows logo in color pack to some generic symbols like ▢ / ◊ / O / △ / meta - set will be superb. Anyway thanks for blank 1.25U in base set.
Would be pissed if anything was replaced after orders have been paid for, which I doubt Ivan would do. Added onto however is obviously not an issue.

Anyone have an extra base set that they would be willing to sell? I unfortunately missed it and I would be willing to pay a little extra :D
Does anyone know if the Originaltive GMK Dolch keycaps are the same as these ones?
I missed out on the GB, looking to buy a set.
Originative is slightly different modifiers I think, and hes less keys overall (no Tsangan or Moogle set? double check this, this is just off the top of my head).

Seems like the poster above you has a set for sale, so thats an option. Originative is slightly different modifiers I think, and hes less keys overall (no Tsangan or Moogle set? double check this, this is just off the top of my head).

The spacebar gets shiny first and having a spare will make it easier to sell the set if you plan to in the near future.

Put sandpaper on key. Add small hard plastic item with correct curve that matches cap indentation. Hit with hammer.. repeat.
Maybe. You can never put the original surface pattern back on, but you could roughen it somewhow. I wouldn't do this to my keycaps. I prefer the let them age naturally.

This was discussed before. Most companies will make sure at least some of their staff coordinate / rotate their holidays a bit, so there's always someone in the office. Businesses do not shut down during the holiday time, unless they're really small or the division you're dealing with is really small.

Exactly. Besides, I have been in Round 4 (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round_4). I think I waited well over a year and some people waited even longer!3-4 months seems pretty reasonable for a groupbuy coordinated by one individual, with a little patience the dolch will be at our doorsteps soon :))That's the plan!

I'm getting unreasonably excited for this set.
I already have DSA Dolch, and already regretting I didn't order an extra GMK Dolch. Maybe I should snag one off originative.
From now on in I'll spend more on GMK or similar quality and less on random TaiHao or PMK sets. Still want that X-Wing set from Matt30 though :)

I am curious as to how these caps are packed. One bag contains one character, e.g. "A" bag? Then there's "B" bag and "SHIFT" bag and so on? That would be a Herculean effort in packing and sorting! I truly appreciate all the effort you are putting through, Ivan (and also the rest of the GB people like BunnyLake)!!!
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. :thumb:

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

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

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.

That moment when you click on the most recent post and land to that face. :'(
Wow. I sure am excites!
BTW I can't figure out what the "delete" icon key above the enter key is supposed to be. Does it replace the \| key?
Oh man a replacement Caps Lock, Control key. Absolutely awesome Ivan! :p
This set is going to fit so good on my viper now.
BTW I can't figure out what the "delete" icon key above the enter key is supposed to be. Does it replace the \| key?It's an alternative (actually clearer) backspace symbol.
Sorry, I don't know what you mean. The main set does of course come with a standard 2 unit backspace that you need for any normal layout keyboard. That one has a normal arrow pointing to the left.
The 1.5 unit backspace in the color pack with the alternative legend is for special layouts.
Yea I'm a little confused why there's an R2 backspace without an R1 \|. Is there some layout that uses this that I'm unfamiliar with?
Regardless, the color pack looks really good Ivan :thumb: I really appreciate getting that Control in there :)

Perhaps an international version but the HHKB I previously owned had an R1 \|.
I love Elrick's articulation but he's right! I wouldn't stinge $5 for the pre sort. Pre sort is not only convenient for you, Ivan, but it will ensure accuracy and less 'returns' or 'complains' about missing keys in future. If I knew this is an option, I'd have opted for it too!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. :thumb:
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.

I will be using the 1.5 cyan backspace.
It is basically the standard position for backspace on HHKB layout, so most people building this layout will likely be using it along with the cyan control key.

It's almost like the color pack was made for a HHKB. Maybe someone can use a Novatouch and make it happen. I knew what I was getting into with not being able to use that backspace key, but the control key just doesn't make sense to me with this set. I will be using Joker though, and I can find a Code key pretty easily I think, so that is a plus.
Fn also good remap for caps, found for myself that left side of the palm is very good for pressing control key in left corner of the keyboard (and other left hand fingers can easily access buttons for nix combos), it's like a 6th finger! Just try and give the time to evolution, and maybe next generations of programmers will be with six fingers, who knows :)

The control key makes sense since it is probably the most common capslock remap.

Nice! Just picked up two to go with this set! :thumb:
Does anyone have a color pack they're willing to transfer? I actually transferred mine away because I didn't know it had a R3 control. I'm specifically interested in the 1.5 backspace and the R3 control.

He said just one week ago it would take several weeks to sort and ship.
I'll have a couple people coming around to help out over this weekend. Hoping we can crush through a good amount of the sorting of full sets. I have finished sorting out colorpacks so those that only ordered those and/or spacebars may have orders shipping out pretty soon.
1.75 Control is a fulltouch key with a centered stem so it will fit in the caps lock position on most keyboards like Filco, Ducky, Leopold, etc.

Random question:
Which backlit LED color would fit this set best?
I'm talking about Dolch, with color pack keys, and CMYK/CMYW modifiers, something like this:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/mmUwUbf.jpg)
Would red be too distracting for the CMYW modifiers and color keycaps?

white or cyan.
backlights need to match the legends if you don't want an obvious distracting clashing color.

I was in the original GBs of both. But CMYW ran into some delays when Dubs had some personal problems.
Originative (http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keysets/products/gmk-cmyw-pre-order) is supposed to do a less comprehensive version of CMYW but those are in pre-order stages as well.

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.

CAUSE THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT!!!!! :p
I'm not making those who ordered the black PBTs wait for that since I still have no freakin idea when it will be finished. Those who have stabs buy stuff won't have to wait any longer since I am packing those up too as I go along.

Sorry if I missed this, but could someone explain the side prints? They look awesome, but can I use them? Are they like alt codes or something?The side prints are legends for UK layout.

I prefer the symmetrical look as well, but I guess there is no chance to get keys in the exact same color :(

Exception, those that were in the novelty dyesub buy get all their Dolch and stabs stuff first regardless of country. Some of you should be getting stuff any day now.Does a shipment notification get sent out to let us know that our package is now in transit?
No I'm not sending notifications, making lists or etc. It takes up too much of my time.
How to know that my stuff is shipped ?

Another thing that caught my eye is the side legends on the keycaps.
Does anyone know what layout they're supposed to be for? I don't think I've seen them on other Dolch keys.

The color pack looks different than I thought. Not that I mind it - I actually like how it turned out.
I thought it was going to be green-ish teal color. It looks more like a shade of blue.

In Ivan's pics of the color packs it does look more greenish in color. I don't know if it has to do with my monitor or the cameras/lighting that people use. I guess the only way to know the true color is to look at it in person.
Some Canada orders are out but not all of them yet. Things are taking longer than I expected.

Which TKL is that? Looks like a Leopold.
any body want to trade their blank 1.25 windows keys from this gb (dolch dark grey) for the windows logo variant of the same?I might be interested. What windows logo is it? Originative?
please have a good reputation / heatware replies considered first.
if there's any interest I'll post a proper wtt in classifieds and expect you to do the same to keep everyting on the up and up.
pm me for details,

windows 8 logo. i bought them in like new condition from gh classifieds. the person I bought them from was in the same gb, i think that sherry got the, from ... i can't remember for certain. I've already got one person interested, if you're still interested You've got dibs next.Ok sounds good, its not a huge deal for me. Might be a better idea to keep the set complete.

My caps just arrived!
Now, to put them on a board that actually costs less than the keycaps...
EDIT: Put them on my Poker 2; I can really understand why people rave about GMK now. The caps feel EXCELLENT.

SkiData (http://i.imgur.com/bXioDN8.jpg) and Charred Orange (http://i.imgur.com/qLwxsx1.jpg?1) are essentially the same. SkiData just comes from an old QWERTZ G80-1800 layout board and Charred Orange is a modern ANSI layout ran by Originative.

Not true! if you can bag a Norway skidata then it's QWERTY :D
The numpad is too plain imo. Adding the arrows and home, end, etc would make it look much much better. Not sure why it wasn't added?
TJ hasn't posted an official mockup yet though. he said he'll use the Dolch layout as Ivan did, but since he's willing to change symbol only mods to text + symbol based on popular demand, i'm sure he'll accommodate the numpad having full legends if enough people ask
Any Canadians get their sets yet?

I did but am not sure if that helps, because I was in Ivan's other group buys and had mine shipped out earlier than those who only were in this one.
Plain numpad makes more sense to me for keyboards that have cursor keys. Basically no one has turned off NumLock for 30 years on a full size keyboard.
Anyone in SoCal has received this? I am checking my mailbox twice a day...
guys, what is the value on your package he wrote? I have to deal with the customs office yet again ???$50 in my case. Slightly above the limit of the EU.

Not for me, I haven't turned num-lock on in the last 30 years :P Fortunately I managed to grab a num-pad set from Originative before they spazzed out, should go nicely w/ this set.
Arrived in Norway, so I guess Ivan's at least come to N :thumb:
I've been checking my email every couple of hours :3
you know, reasons...I've been checking my email every couple of hours :3
why?
you know, reasons...I've been checking my email every couple of hours :3
why?
So the dolch set on originativeco is made in germany which makes me assume its GMK but then all their kits are split up and priced gouged..
you know, reasons...I've been checking my email every couple of hours :3
why?
my school sends me an email when i get a package in the post office.

Yeah I'm going to email them about it. Also the way they did their mod kits is weird. They didn't even specifically list what was in each.So the dolch set on originativeco is made in germany which makes me assume its GMK but then all their kits are split up and priced gouged..
It is GMK, the only difference is the Dolch set there includes text on the mod keys (shift/enter etc). Prices are higher but if you only wanted the Numpad/Mods it might be better than having spent 110$ on the Base Kit here. I'd be more concerned about Originative actually fulfilling the orders, 8-12 weeks lead time and a history of ignoring e-mails/delayed shipments is not promising.
Any Canadians get their sets yet?
Ask about deliveries and they arrive.
My Dolch, Colour Pack and stabilizers arrived today.
Thanks Ivan!!
I'm trying to get orders sent out as quickly as I can. Got though another 40 odd orders today.
The main reason for the numbers only numpad legends is so you can use them on standalone numpads, boards like the CM TK or Plum 96 and etc that don't follow the standard secondary nav arrangements. I also like that it's more minimal and cleaner looking which follows on well with the over all aesthetic.
See GB layout.
That is for UK ISO compatibility. On the UK ISO you have @ and ' on the same key, @ instead of "See GB layout.
It's see that it is there, just not sure what the purpose of the @ sign is. In other words to me it seems as out of place as having a $ sign front-printed on the letter 'a' key.
I'm sure there's some logical purpose, not questioning that, but what is it? :/
That is for UK ISO compatibility. On the UK ISO you have @ and ' on the same key, @ instead of "
Hopefully next time you offer the "`~" and "\|" keys in both colors, so people can choose between classic and symmetrical look!
My set arrived today :)
Thanks again for running yet another awesome GMK GB Ivan :thumb:

Check my post in the media section.
I created a pseudo symmetrical look with the Joker key and the smaller backspace key ;)
if anyone wants to sell me the 00 & 0 1x1 R1 key let me know =)
Hopefully next time you offer the "`~" and "\|" keys in both colors, so people can choose between classic and symmetrical look!
As long as we're talking about *next* time, we really need an R1 1x \| key! With the R2 backspace and R3 control we were so close to *accidentally* supporting the HHKB layout.
I doubt GMK does have a mold for that, considering there's no cherry keyboard with that key in R1.Why not? :confused:
Yeh that exists... I only forgot it.
Casinos?Yeh that exists... I only forgot it.
Ivan got a question about the JOKER key. Is GMK able to create new legends easily, or was that from some old mold they had lying around?
I can't imagine what a "joker" key would be for :D

Very nice! But did you put the packaging material between the plate and the PCB? I always thought people put it between case and PCB. Or am I seeing things? :confused:

Yeah pretty much this. I still need to build the board and am undecided on a few bits and waiting for LEDs so I just threw things together for a picture :)
Do most people tend to put material between the pcb / case then (shelf liner is it?). What purpose does it serve?
I was thinking about getting some o rings to put between the pcb and case to help soften the keystrokes a little but I need to find somewhere to source some the right size in the UK.

I guess I will get mine next week...:D
What case is that?! Its gorgeous!
i really enjoy your photos and their distinctive style. what do you think about red housings in general? they look really nice in standalone photos (especially when combined with a dark keyset), but i feel like the red draws too much attention to itself if it's placed in a black-predominant setting. and having a keyboard as the centerpiece of your computer area is just wrong to me
What case is that?! Its gorgeous!
This is a group buy i really regret that i did not participate. I remember when it was live i waited every day and thought like tomorrow i'm in, but somehow... Maybe i'll catch a set in the classifieds sometimes.
I remember seeing that you got one in the mail recently, so I figured that you'd put dolch on it at some point.
Good choice, looks great.
I got a surprise call from mailroom! GMK DOLCH IS HERE! IN MALAYSIA! Wow, I didn't expect that!!!I am so excited for your pics, congrats!
Thanks guys!!!! I'll put them on tonight.
My first GMK set!!!
Muaks muaks muakssss
Actually the order wasn't strict since I went with orders from people that also had PBT novelty keys first, then went through all the stabs orders that didn't have 6.25 plate since I can't send them yet, then Dolch only orders which sadly I have only started on and have gotten through to FR.
Having 3 fairly large buy orders come all together it's taking me longer than I anticipated to get it all out.
Just put them on. Beautiful beautiful set and I believe GMK lives to its hype. Definitely feel much better to type on compare to SP's key.
This is on a Code. Hmm.. GMK and Clear switch is just wonderful!Show Image(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/04/10d7d471c6d05fbfc1602ce6f72b791f.jpg)
But ..
The < key has a hairline scratch in it. It's very obvious and it's bugging me a lot. If only its a mod key and I can replace them. But it happened on an alpha key. Ivan, do you have extra < key I can just buy from you ( sorry for the trouble admist your sorting )Show Image(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/04/d0a1cb3078a8a75deefc4ddb3a812156.jpg)

That is unfortunate. I got pretty steamed when I got my thick PBT caps and my puppy chewed them up before I even got them on my keyboard. The spacebar was destroyed and in like 20 pieces. Luckily I was able to buy another one of them. The numpad enter key was destroyed as well as a couple numpad keys. Luckily the only other key she got on the TKL layout (which I was using) was the backspace, but it is still functional. It does have a big tooth mark in it, but otherwise it is perfectly fine. :)
I have to admit, it took me a couple days to get over that. For the next day or so my puppy was super ashamed and pretty much lived with her head hung down between her front legs and her sad eyes on.
She had a tendency to chew our stuff until that day. I gave her a very stern talking to and explained that she was NOT to chew our stuff and that she had her own toys for that. I don't think I hid the fact that I was very upset and she took notice. She has not chewed anything since... Haha...

Unless you had some stabs order making a delay yes Canada orders is shipped. Sometimes customs is quick, sometimes it is not. Either way you will probably have it soon enough.

How do you go about finding moogle kits? I've been looking for one for my classic beige for so long. Also, you mentioned that the kit is SP, does that mean the profile differs?
Don't waste your time with SP kits... since no one has stepped up and it has been continually asked for I'll be tossing a black/beige mods patch kit in the upcoming next groupbuy. It will be pretty close to what was done with the purple kit plus numpad keys.
Doesn't KBDmod still have them?

You may have to find someone to proxy them. You could also take your chances with Originative.

fantastic news!
just curious: consider "ctrl" vs "control" anybody feelin' me on this one? ctrl wins hands down imho: @1.25 and @1.5.
I am going to be all over this gb. any chance it'll have space bars as well?
other hard to find blank keys I'd love to request:
- wide 0 numpad
- tall + numpad
and just for the heck of it: alt arrow legends for inverted t cursor cluster
and one more: icon insert, delete, home, end, pgdn and pg up.
regardless: Ivan, you rock!
ps: oh, and blank r4 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x keys...
+1 on the 1.75u control. That needs to be part of every set.fantastic news!

I actually prefer the "Control" as opposed to the CTRL (would like 1.75u Control!)
Also 1.5u Del (to replace ANSI \|) and compatibility with a 1x 1x Backspace 1u |\ key!

one question: why does the proposed F'n'A pack only feature big ctrl and alt keys?
UPDATE: Finally finished assembling the rest of the sets yesterday. I am going to go back though and QA them to make sure there are not mistakes before I send them all out. Sorry for the long wait but I would rather make sure it's all done right.

I guess GMK Dolch from Ivan is almost identical to the original.

I think standing out was the purpose of the color pack.
I put the set on my keyboard today, I think everything is accounted for. Also got a colored ctrl button and a joker button. Tiny damages on a few keys, but nothing I can't live with, I'm not very nitpicky about those things. Here it is.The arrows in the color pack are for the wasd cluster, not the arrows, which is why it has a different profile.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/C5YSr1H.jpg)It is just beautiful. Only thing I dislike is the numberpad keys. I might buy a standalone numberpad kit from originative actually to replace it.
One question that has probably been asked before, why the weird profile on the arrow keys in the color pack?
Also, one suggestion, maybe it is good to use a bag like this to prevent damage?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/1hWh4E7.jpg)Just an idea for future GB's.
Anyway thanks again for your hard work sir. I saw that you were going to do your next GB with FnA pack, that's something I will definitely be in for, will order and pay right away :thumb:
I think standing out was the purpose of the color pack.
Well I understand that but I would think the legend would match. Oh well not a huge deal.

I agree that it was a questionable decision by Ivan (who after a bad experience seems to have come to the conclusion that he makes better decisions on his own with no interest checks or early feedback from the forums at all), but to be fair, it was in the mockups and has been discussed during the order phase in this thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58608.msg1369995#msg1369995), so it's kind of late to bring that up.

Was that referring to another GMK dolch run or the next round of dye subs?
Received my Dolch kit today! Only one small issue - the Tilde Prime key is chipped. PMed Ivan. Love this set!

I don't see it.
I don't even remember if I ordered some of these. I hope so; they look really nice.You could check your paypal
Is there somewhere to check? The Google Form is down now.
Anyhow, congrats on a really nice set. Again.

I am hype.
There will be new GMK buy soon... I'm just waiting for pricing and etc still. I will start new buy as soon as I have it, here is a teaser of the main set for the mean time...

Going all the way back for this one... all (except for the Windows keys obviously) stuff that was from the earliest models from 1984/1985, with bitshift international layout just like on the very first MX model. GMK had to dig deep through the tooling to find this old stuff. I don't think we can get any more retro than this with Cherry. I hope you guys like it, and appreciate the opportunity for something a little bit different.
There will also be a yellow/orange color pack with alternate F keys row, WASD, cursors, and more... as well as a black/beige symbols legends mod pack for those that need patch kits for other sets, or you could use it with the above base kit to make a mostly mono color set.

Nah, the add on pack will have 'Start' keys. Yes keys that literally have text Start legend.

Call me simple, but I would love to have a GMK set using just this dark charcoal color. It is very nice.

Boards that I drew inspiration from on the new set are the G80-0312, Commodore PC-5/G80-0499 , NCR G80-0528, G80-0535, and Adler Dario models. I combined certain elements of layout, legend selection and colorways from those boards and blended them together to create something with massive retro appeal that is not a straight out repro.
The base set will be sold together, as it is cheaper that way than piecemeal. There are duplicates of some keys due to them being different row profiles. A profile bottom row, F profile function row are included by default.

I've waited a bit over three years to get my hands on a Dolch set and it was definitely worth the wait.
Only issue is I'm unfortunately missing a num-row "1 !" key in one of my sets :(Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/eYdIXie.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/JSoe3us.jpg)

Those with missing keys will be taken care of. Since I am short on some particular legends keys I have asked GMK to send me some more. I should be getting them along with the replacement stab wires any time now.Great !!! I loved RGBK & CMYK
For the upcoming color pack, it will have blank F and A keys which may be useful for 122 boards, 75% boards, some existing or upcoming customs. 1.25 keys were never made in A profile and that is the only size available for 'Start', and that style cursor were not either, just in B.
RGBK and CMYK v2 (color legends on black keys) are some things I have planned for the next mini packs.

Aside from diversity, what kinda benefits do you feel F and A profiles have over the modern standard?
I wish I could try them out; never had the chance.

Received my order and the set is great (except for a missing color pack enter)! Thanks Ivan for making it happen :thumb:
I have a question about these keycaps and Costar stabilizers. I threw these on a Filco board and the keys with stabilizes just don't feel right, especially the Spacebar. I could probably live with it if I was only typing but for gaming it's an issue. I've resorted to putting the OEM Spacebar back on for the time being.
I'm assuming that the stabilizer wire is rubbing on the inside of the cap. Am I wrong about this?
Is there a way to fix this besides filing the inside walls of the caps?
Just curious if anyone has experience with this and could give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!

Does this mean the spacebars for GMK Dolch, or GMK sets in general, aren't really compatible with costar stabilized keyboards?

The GMK spacebars worked fine on my Filco. I think it's a case by case thing.
Seems to be the case for me at least. All keys with stabilizers appear to suffer from the same issue but some are worse than others. The Spacebar being by far the most noticeable.
The only other issue was that the stabilizer inserts where a tad too long for the Enter cap due to the profile but that was easy enough to fix.
No problems with WASD keyboards here.

Yes your order was shipped in the last wave of packages.
Yes still waiting. Should have by next month.
Sure, no problem. I'll pack up your order and send it now and worry about the wires at later time.
Yesterday, I found '#' is rotated...
is it normal?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/En6Hwx4.jpg)
Dolchs arrived earlier December 5th, but I was in Vietnam so I only got to get to the post office to claim the package a couple days ago.
I don't have any spare stabilizers to go with these, and the Filco stabilizers are a little loose when attached, so I just stuck a small piece of tape first then inserted the stabilizers in and they fit great. Spacebar has the slightest give but it's not something I can notice in regular use anyway.Show Image(http://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7499/15859796240_7d8eaec36c_h.jpg)
Just magnificent.
$170 USD all-in for the base set + color pack kinda hurt, but it hurts so good. Glad I joined the GB. Thanks again for making this all possible Ivan!

I think that's a modded FC660C with domes from a Novatouch.
The stock one definitely doesn't support MX caps.
Does that mean that Novatouch's sliders allow the use of MX caps on Topres? Even space bars? I know space bars may require additional "adapters" for the stabilizers stems. But it may be feasible to develop adapters that allow to use MX PBT spacebars on Topre keyboards? Is it a dumb question?
Photos, Bunny!
But yeah I really like how all the keys just work together aesthetically on a 60%, but it never occurs to me that it is due to the symbols in the mod keys. Good observations.
Got my set a while ago, but didn't have a chance to even open the package until yesterday. I have to admit, I didn't understand the Dolch hype before, but now I think I'm in love. Thanks for running this buy, Ivan. Have a potato pic, my phone does weird things with daylight in my house.

Those with missing keys will be taken care of. Since I am short on some particular legends keys I have asked GMK to send me some more.
I didn't say he didn't have extra sets. I only said he will not be taking care of people with missing keys till he has shipped the rest of the sets. He has said this a few times.

NO I didn't buy any extra sets myself, and it's not like GMK is going to give me some free ones... I ended up short some keys, they will fix it they are just taking awhile to get it done.

try not using packing tape to secure the spacebars.
I'm having to use googone to get the packing tape residue off the spacebar bottoms and sides.

I'm sure it sorta melted it... :-X
To remove tape residue from any sort of hard surface, I've always used more tape and stick it onto the sticky residue. Pull it off quickly and repeat the process. Eventually it'll pull everything off with no harm done, or any sticky residue left from rubbing the surface.
oh i tested this on some SP ABS spacebars i had first lol.
oh i tested this on some SP ABS spacebars i had first lol.
This is so important, and a lot of people don't think to do this. Any time you put a solvent of any sort on a plastic, please test it on an inconspicuous location (directed at everyone, not you). Different polymers interact with solvents in vastly differing ways, dependent on the actual chemistry of the polymer, so the behavior is predictable but if you don't know then please test it!
People have melted (dissolved, really) entire keycap sets and keyboards because they didn't do this.
I have found that cigarette lighter fluid (Zippo or Ronson) is very good adhesive remover but is safe for ABS plastic.oh i tested this on some SP ABS spacebars i had first lol.

Ivan when do you expect the missing keys are available? are you still waiting for them from GMK?
Yes still waiting. Should have by next month.
The keys I have been waiting on have shipped. I should get them sometime in the next weeks and will get those with missing keys taken care of.

Cyan space-bar addition :)
I'll be sending out missing keys next week.
OK guys I will send out your orders on Monday.I've still not seen any dolch yet... should I be worried?
I'll be sending out missing keys next week.
Those keysets your holding for those that have stabs, they have been double checked for missing keys right? I would cry ours have missing/broken keys and replacements have gone out before we get our sets!This
This is one GB I regret not joining. If anyone has a spare set please let me know!
I'll be sending out missing keys next week.
Yes, all of you that were waiting on missing keys have been sent. You should be getting them any day now.

The remaining INTERNATIONAL orders will be going out tomorrow.
Sorry for the delays, it's taking me awhile to work through. I will try to finish them up by the weekend.Thanks dood!!! :thumb:
All your keysets are finally out of my house! YAY!!! Everyone that had an order from the original buy is shipped.
NOW... what some of you have been waiting for...
THOSE THAT DID NOT HAVE AN ORDER IN THE ORIGINAL GROUPBUY WILL GET PRIORITY.
I have SEVEN 'full' sets available, at the discount price of $100 shipped US, $105 shipped international.
All will be missing the $4 and/or F5, but have JOKER keys as stand ins.
Some may also be missing 2.25 left shift key, and/or some cursor key so you will need to pick up something to replace those from EK or elsewhere.
These may also have keys with small scratches or other minor cosmetic defects.
I have THREE color packs available, full and complete $27 shipped US, $29 shipped international.
I have ONE Dolch numpad only set available for $23 shipped US, or $25 shipped international.
Miscellaneous single keys will be listed sometime later this week when I have more time.

Isn't it possible for GMK to replace the damaged keys so we can have full sets?
I think a company like GMK would be really good about stuff like that. They ship their color rings at their own expense.
FIVE full sets left, color packs are GONE.
Is there a way to find out what our exact set will be missing so we can replace it? ty Ivan!He says they are full sets

They are because he includes keys that are in place of the missing keys, but he notes this:QuoteAll will be missing the $4 and/or F5, but have JOKER keys as stand ins.

may be a long shot but if anyone has a capslock, spacebar, and 2x1.25 blank keys they want to sell to me, please send me a PM. I am looking for keycaps to complete my cherry WoB set. Thanks!The modifier keys on this are not WoB but White on charcoal grey.

Look under the Miami Nights IC, they are looking at offering a Cherry WoB repair set that would provide the keys missing from scavenged Cherry keysets.
OK then NorrisB. One set back up for grabs.
For those that had small scratches or other similar cosmetic issues... whatever is left in miscellaneous keys will get priority over other buyer if there is still anything left that you want.
Got one of the extra sets from Ivan today. Missing my 4$ like he mentioned, so I just used the F-row keys as stand-ins. This is my first GMK set, and I can see why you all clamor over them :p

A missing key! how are you planning to survive the constant bothering of your almost complete super nice new set staring at you.I don't even notice :D
Just joking enjoy it. A missing key is nothing.
It won't be your last ;)

I still have one last set left missing the $4 and F5 keys with JOKER replacements.
DARN! Just a little too slow.I still have one last set left missing the $4 and F5 keys with JOKER replacements.
i want it!
All the caps are looking good, and the missing 4$ doesn't bother me at all, it kind of makes the set special.
And what it is really great is that my NerD60 finally looks right, I changed a lot of sets and none looked good with this case/plate combo. Thanks Ivan 8)Show Image(http://imgur.com/nsu5ilx.jpg)

What plate are you using Daniel?
What plate are you using Daniel?It's GON universal 60% plate, pitch black. Very nice, it doesn't allow switch top removal but I don't care about that, I know what I like.
I have decided to use my Nerd60 with no plate. I want to have full flexibility to change, or replace tops or even switches at any time. Also, a keyboard with no plate weights less, I know this is not a popular opinion, but I want to take my favorite keyboard with me when I travel, and any weight saving is welcome when you are carry your bags.To be honest I understand you, this is my only plate mounted board. I wanted to see what all this plate madness is all about. I like more plateless boards, all my other 60% are PCB mount and I can't say that I feel any flex or stuff like that. If the PCB is the right thickness and good quality there is no need for a plate. Cherry made almost all their boards plateless and those boards are a pleasure to type on.

I wouldn't build another board with a plate, as they say "don't need that aggravation"

I cannot agree more. My old Poker X, that is plate-less, is a pleasure to type on; even, when its PCB is in the thin side. I just added it with some support with a custom made keyboard case and it feels wonderful.
