GMK Mini packs (completed)

[bazh]

maybe we should try to go with MassDrop

[rowdy]

Sadly it doesn't seem like we can get MOQ on anything gmk

Yeah it sucks. Fingers crossed the Massdrop experiment solves that, if it goes smoothly maybe GMK will start to see some benefit in playing ball.

But wouldn't going through Massdrop just involve more people and thus make it easier to meet MOQ?

That would teach GMK nothing - just that MOQ will be met by the buyers in some way.

What experiment is that?

[tbc]

not understanding how this massdrop 'experiment' works.  Don't they keep a little money from each set?

is it one of those 'buy expensive or you don't get to buy at all' scenarios?  In effect, we'd each be paying a fee to use massdrop's advertising ability to make up the difference to reach MOQ?

[MOZ]

I don't get the MD hate. They help you teach better numbers, have better outreach and cheaper shipping. Yes they do charge a bir, but so do many GB organisers, I can understand it is not going to the "community", but MD is a business and needs to pay those labouring.

[IvanIvanovich]

I think maybe massdrop could help for full set... but these little things like this are too specialized and require you to already have other Cherry/GMK sets more or less. I don't know if people outside of keyboard enthusiast would 'get it'.
I accept the home/enter/space pack is a bit strange and might not have a big appeal, but I am very surprised there is so few orders on the Retro mods pack. I would have though people would be all over that to use with existing black on white sets and they are something different that has not really been done like that since mid 1980's.
It certainly does look like deadline extension will be a must for any hope. I also need to get some pictures of the actual keys colors up since I am sure that will help.

Didn't a previous round come with those rgb on white mods?

[IvanIvanovich]

I did something like it on first round dyesubs PBT sets. Not aware of any existing Cherry or GMK doubleshots done that way.

[sheknet]

just re-submit to add some more spacebars

[asura]

Four function rows, one space homeboy, one retro mod, and ten miscellaneous spaces... come'on the function rows!

[SpAmRaY]

Looking at how many have been purchased clearly the space bars  are very sought after!

[IvanIvanovich]

I suppose lot of people want Cherry profile 6.25 space with center stem... since Cherry G80 6.25 have that all off center.

[BunnyLake]

yeah you cant have enough cherry spacebars, i need to add a bunch to my order as they werent an option when i placed my order

[pichu23]

So this no longer closes on the 1st dec amirite? I'd like to order some spacebars. Just like to know how many colours are there, since it's random. Thanks in advance.

[IvanIvanovich]

Could be any of 23 stock colors, or any left over of other customer special order colors. Nothing has reached MOQ yet so I guess I will see what another month gets us to.

[Dubsgalore]

* Dubsgalore rolls for salmon and teal 7x

[IvanIvanovich]

Eraser pink and cyan are possibilities. Hopefully I can get my hands on a digital camera to do some pictures of my sample ring to post up in here soon.

Thanks for answering. I'll add order when I get back to my computer. cheers

Teal, cyan, or pink would be awesome.  Based on Sherry's photographs of GMK samples, there was a nice teal color.  I also love the turquoise that you used for the CMYK packs.

[korrelate]

I read one of Ivan's replies about the white in the mod pack being comparable to the white in your average BoW set, but what about the Black on White & Beige kit on Sherry's site... how close is this white to the white keys in that set? I.e. retro mods are Same shade / brighter / darker than Sherry's BoWandBeige?

And I'm also curious about the space bar pack: how many different colors are GMK going to include in this bag?
 - Many
 - A couple
 - One

??


Cheers,

K

[Binge]

I suppose lot of people want Cherry profile 6.25 space with center stem... since Cherry G80 6.25 have that all off center.

universal 6.25?

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes the GMK 6.25 have a center stem to fit on Filco, Ducky and etc.

[muad]

I am prepared to wait 2+ years if it means the space homeboy will be produced! I have been wanting an orange esc for some time now.

EDIT: also if it doesn't happen maybe a green, blue, orange esc pack would do well

[bazemk1979]

Oh I want that space home boy too!!!!

[bazh]

yes, yes, more space home boy, people!!!

[daetsid]

yes, yes, more space home boy, people!!!

+1 here

[HongKongFui]

really really interested in that space homeboy, but will this GB happen? seems moq is impossible to reach

[IvanIvanovich]

We can only try to keep chipping away at the MOQ. Hopefully when I get pictures of the real key colors up it will help bring in more orders.

[HongKongFui]

btw I'll order during next week, was long time in hospital and it takes some days (forgot to pay the bill in hospital ) until I can log in my eMail- account -.-

oreders are open for another month, don't worry.

[IvanIvanovich]

Finally got a picture of actual colors in OP.

[jonathanyu]

resubmitted 

[yearn4]

Buy more function packs we need black and yellow

[aj-kun]

Ivan...If I order 23 packs of the random colors spacebars...does that mean I get 2 of each colour in 6.25* and 7* ?

[mickd]

I can tell you now that that would likely not be the case. He is just going to pick them out randomly from a bag full of spacebars.

There could also be a lot of the same colours in the pack that Ivan receives, so certain colours maybe more likely than others.

so essentially it's a spacebar crap bag.

[stoic-lemon]

The spacebar colors will be chosen by GMK out of on hand plastic colors. I won't have any control over which colors and how many of each will be made. Your order will be filled in random fashion and no color requests.

crap bag.

We don't use such words when referring to GMK caps around here sir! I challenge you to a duel!

LOL

:p

[IvanIvanovich]

It's not crap bag, it's simply mystery colors spacebars. Some real crap bags of over runs and production errors we might be able to get at some later time. I have been talking with GMK about it.

I was going to save it as a surprise... but I think we need some more motivations so... I will buy 400 'CODE' legend 1x1 row B keys if everything here makes the MOQ to give all the orders.

[SpAmRaY]

  GMK crap bags would be awesome!

[jonathanyu]

probably not, but you can trade it

Would that be ... green ... code ... keys ... ?

[IvanIvanovich]

Colors will be a surprise

hmmmmmm might need to add to my order then

[kenmai9]

The spacebar colors are awesome. Ordered more

[IvanIvanovich]

Once again, there is no guarantee on the colors of spacebar. If you would be unhappy with the least favorite color... keep that in mind on how many you are ordering as you could get that many of those color.
