Update Jan 20

Had an idea last night.

Have you guys/gals seen JDCARPE'S buy where he is doing a single color GH key each month? The key comes in a pack of 2; one mx and one alps.

I had the thought to do a similar buy with bars. A single color monthly or every 2 months, packs would be 2 bars; one 6.25u and one 7u.

Thoughts?

----------

Hello all, Im wanting to see if there is enough interest to try get a Group Buy going for some GMK spacebars.

Wanting to do a CMYK pack in 6.25u, if the interest is there either buy #1 will also include 7u OR there will be a second buy after 6.25u for the 7u bars.

If you are interested, please post below and list which pack you would be interested in.




GMK color codes would be ;

• Cyan - UN6037
• Magenta - UN33656 (afaik)
• Yellow - N6
• Black - N9 or CR

[TalkingTree]

Interested in CMYRGB. What material anyway?

[joey]

Good luck with the IC/GB tigersharkdude!

Interested in CMYRGB. What material anyway?

Doesn't GMK only do ABS?

[whmeltonjr]

I'm down for either one

[Dernubenfrieken]

Would be interested in the CMYRGB, would be even more interested if it were RGBY without the CM.

[VinnyCordeiro]

First of all: a picture with the standard colors used by GMK



Now you need to define the ones that going to be used.

My suggestions (which are not perfect):

• Cyan: UN6037
• Magenta: UN5045 (I think this is the code, it isn't very much legible)
• Yellow: N6
• Red: V1
• Green: N7
• Blue: V4

From this list, I don't like the cyan. It isn't really cyan, more like a light blue. You can try finding a custom plastic for that color. Intelli78 bought lots of plastic Pantone® chips before choosing the colors used on TA keyset.

[HannahPeach]

What about pricing?

[tigersharkdude]

CM is a definite for this guy, they are the sole reason for starting this IC

What about pricing?

This is just an interest check to see if its even worth contacting them. I dont want to waste their time with getting all of the info, only for the IC to never get off of the ground

[UsualSuspectXXX]

M is supposed to be magenta, not purple. Just want to point out that that makes it a CPY set.

[user 18]

Would this be a buy for 6.25 bars only, or 6.25 and 7u bars?

[tigersharkdude]

Would this be a buy for 6.25 bars only, or 6.25 and 7u bars?

6.25, if the interest is there I will ask about 7u bars

[user 18]

Interested depending on price. More interested in CMY than RGB.

I'd personally only be interested in 6.25u.

[tigersharkdude]

same on both. I only added RGB for those that want that option.

[64rky]

Down for either

Same. But I might want a red one too. So I'll buy a 6 piece CMYRGB kit if that ends up being that way.

[LeandreN]

I love small simple GBs. I'm in! Would like a lime one too.

[lolpes]

Could you add eletric blue and black? those are some of the spacebars I would be very interested in seeing, aside from joining the current lineup of spacebars

[roostrc0gburn]

I am definitely in for a set. Please inquire about non-standard stem patterns. I would love to use these on my FC660M

[tigersharkdude]

When Christoph gets back to me I will ask.

I dont want to go over board with options, since this is my first try at a GB, so maybe I could do a CMY kit and then a kit with various colors?

Yeah thats fine, I'm OK with getting more spacebars, but those spacebars are going to be shipped with Miami Nights, although that GB has dragged out at this point.

Not everyone is in that GB though. If I could've ordered just the bars I would've

I apologize if I miss-spoke. I was looking at this on my phone earlier and the outside lightning might have messed with the colors.

Its all good. I just selected the color off of a picture, didn't notice that it was off so much.

I changed the pics in the op after you posted

Ahh. I thought I was going crazy because I definitely remembered purple =P

[rowdy]

Interested, depending on price and time frame.

[LXXXIX]

This is cool. You should throw in the purple too.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

I agree with this!

[jerue]

7u CMY and hopefully Purple!

[romevi]

Or maybe an option for an Ultra Space Bar Pack: all the colors!

I've already ordered all space bars in 6.25u from Ivan's Miami Nights GB, but I'd be down for this as well, especially for 7u bars as I didn't order any of those.

[switchnollie]

Interested in 7U so I'll watch this & see if that happens

[jaffers]

I'd be interested in CMY with 7u and 6.25u spacebars

I'd also be interested in this colour

[gadzkun]

interested! CMYRGB

[lashiel]

Interested.

[TalkingTree]

If 7u happens I'll be interested in a CMYRGB set as well.

[swimmingbird]

Even though I got in on Miami Nights and bought a bunch of spacebars there I would probably buy some of these as well

[cooldiscretion]

Down 4 both
 Mostly interested in 7u

[tigersharkdude]

Will ask gmk about 7u and an 'ultra pack' when they reply

[DukeMugen]

ULTRA PAAACK! Yeeeaaaah! Love it!

[Alex92]

I'd be interested in lime green (AE), but it looks like there might be too many colors already  )

Perhaps you should make a poll and the top color choices get put into the ultra pack.

[LXXXIX]

Ultra pack, ultra pack, ultra pack!

[tigersharkdude]

Ultra pack shall be 20 bars ... lol

[romevi]

Ultra pack shall be 20 bars ... lol

Aww yiss!!

How much will that be? $100?

[tigersharkdude]

Ultra pack shall be 20 bars ... lol

Aww yiss!!

How much will that be? $100?

Who knows. Once gmk gets back to me I'll post up.

I won't be making any money off of this. Price will be

Cost + Paypal fees + shipping (actual shipping + materials)

[lashiel]

I'd definitely be interested in the Ultra Pack.

Probably normal CMY too, but definitely an ultra pack.

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Oh yea, I guess I should state that I'm interested in whatever comes out of this.

[1deeg]

I only want a few space bars, I'm not interested in spending $100 on them...

[henz]

why do you only offer 6.25 bars? i ->only<- use WKL layouts. Some ppl prefer wkls because it looks better

Very first gb, I don't want to get in over my head with pieces and price total.

[tigersharkdude]

Had an idea last night.

Have you guys/gals seen JDCARPE'S buy where he is doing a single color GH key each month? The key comes in a pack of 2; one mx and one alps.

I had the thought to do a similar buy with bars. A single color monthly or every 2 months, packs would be 2 bars; one 6.25u and one 7u.

Thoughts?

If you are dealing with signature plastics that's easy to do they don't have the high MOQ of GMK.

GMK got back to me and said their MOQ is 150, that's not too bad IMO

MOQ is only 150 now on standard colors - nowhere near as low as SP but way lower than it used to be (250, and before that 500)

But does the price go up with lower MOQ?

I'm not sure what the max most people will pay for 2 space bars is.

Also with the recent increase in USPS shipping prices it might be a hard sell, especially internationally. This is where having a 3 or 4 pack makes more sense.

But I guess it never hurt to try.

You might partner with mechanicalkeyboards.com or something see if they would buy up whatever MOQ is left to resale.

[queefmonchan]

I would buy all of these. need some 7u lovin

I would suggest against it due to the repeated coast of shipping. This is one if the reasons that I'm not partaking in the Geek Hack key GB.

Edit: Too many typos from swiftkey... fixed.

[alienman82]

removed.

[Pieminister]

CMY yes please! have been waiting for it after repeated rounds of RGB!

[tigersharkdude]

OP updated. Since this is my first GB I dont want to go overboard, so the first buy will be a 6.25u CMYK pack, and if the interest is there 7u will either be added to the order or will be another buy at a later time.

[switchnollie]

Nice to see this coming along well

Hopefully 7U makes it in this one

[swimmingbird]

Still got love for 6.25u so consider me in

12 bars x 2 sizes x 150moq/each x $2/each = $7,200 (which is just a little less than I get in an entire year). I can't risk that much money

I understand the reasoning. Looking forward to this as well as future sets.

[aaron6301]

Take my money

[zhihuichan]

I have ordered spacebar in Maimi nights gb. But I will order more.

[sitch]

Would love to grab a pack

[keshley]

I'd be in for CR

[Trel]

I would buy these for sure.

[pwnz]

Would buy at least 3 sets.

[ComradeSniper]

Interested in 7x sets.

[WNovizar]

Please do 6u spacebars... I have so many 3 topre keyboards with MX sliders so I need them

[jaffers]

Not sure what is going on anymore, but I don't want complicated and fancy as I'm sure most other people don't.

Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. In 6.25u and 7u variants. I'm in Australia so shipping kills me. If you are going to have another GB for 7u than I'd love it if you could hold onto the bars until that comes and then send them both out together. That is my thoughts on this matter

Thanks tigersharkdude! 

[romevi]

This is on hold, guys. Trust me, I want these too. 

[tigersharkdude]

Things are still slowly turning in the background. I have nobody locally to talk to (the two locals I know of stay pretty busy and I dont want to bug them).

I plan to get a Google form going soon, for a legit interest check.

I definitely plan to do the 6.25u pack, the 7u pack will be up to interest (if the interest is there I will do it, but if its not then :/ )

I chose the 8 pack.

Voted, I'm not too sure but it relates to what I want out of my new target board.

Apparently in production still. Ivan has talked to some people about it but has yet to post anything since he doesn't have a concrete update.

I'd be very good if this is true; but, there is no harm is asking for interest on this as the Ivan group has been paid for already, there is no reason to prevent this other buy to happen.

But expect this to happen sooner rather than later

[whmeltonjr]

Voted. 4 pack of 6.25 is my first choice. Would potentially do the 8 pack if that was the only option, but done really want to go through the hassle of selling the other 4 bars.

[nosage]

This might be my only chance at a cyan spacebar, I really hope this happens!

[tigersharkdude]

I'd be in on 7u bars or the 8 pack, but I'll pass if it's only 6.25u.
