Q/A

[nubbinator]

Both, these springs are the same weight for the actuation force and the bottom out.

I don't understand lol. So it's 80g at both the middle and when fully compressed?

Yup

How is that even possible?  A spring's resistance should increase the more it compresses.

[sherryton]

I know you've said you plan to get a 1.75 Shift + Blank 1x but have you got a time-frame on when this would happen.

I would love to get another set of OnC but really no point if its not anytime soon since it's going on an 1800.

Sound like a broken record!

I put the order through, but I did not get any confirmation yet.  I can't give you a definite time.

Yah I'm not trying to make a big deal about this, but it's impossible for it to be both and it would be nice to know which is 80g.

i thought korean springs were measured by bottoming out force

Dubsgalore is correct actually.  My fault on this one.  I'll borrow some of my brother's tools to see if I can get the AF measured.  I'm actually curious on this too as I have not tested the 80g yet.  People kept asking for it, so I tried my best to bring it.

[WhiteFireDragon]

I don't understand lol. So it's 80g at both the middle and when fully compressed?

Yup

If you had an extremely long spring, then pre-compress it into the switch, then the actuation and bottom out will be very close. But an extremely long spring won't fit in the first place, so no... this is not possible.

Don't lie lol. I want some magic springs too.

I actually have some other springs that calavera did a group buy on.  Those springs are suppose to be more magical.  The person that made it had a group of 10 Korean Keyboard Enthusiast (Koreans = Perfectionist).  Supposedly, he perfected the spring.  I am pretty satisfied with the current ones I own, but I will have to give these a go.  If anyone missed out on the group buy, but interested in the item then feel free to PM ME!

Which set?

[sherryton]

So the ones I currently have in stock are the ones that KBDMod has.

The new ones are:

50G LL
55G L
62G M
67G H

I have no idea what the letter means.

[calavera]

It's lowx2, low, medium, heavy? or something similar. (may be light, medium, high)




Also I got an email saying I was refunded the shipping difference but don't see it on my bank account yet. So I'll let you know once it clears.

Oh that makes a lot more sense.

Thanks a lot for the notice. 

Here are some quick pictures of the keyset holder I was talking about.  It was designed by hazeluff.  We have a few more fixes until we actually give these out to people.

The cover is made of cardboard while the inside, where the keycaps sit on, is made of foam.





Here's a little tab attached to the foam which makes it easier to pick up the tray. 



We're still trying to fix this up a little, but it will be in your hands soon!

I'll take some better pictures tomorrow with lighting. 

[Dubsgalore]

very nice

is that the black on beige set i spy?

good work!

[sherryton]

Yeah, I made sure to post that I will take better pictures tomorrow just for you.  I will definitely take pictures of the black on beige set using my KMAC 2.

Q/A: Nice hand. How did you get them to be so veiny and manly? 80g springs? No homo  ^-^

[Photekq]

Could you make sure to take it from directly above with less intense lighting so we have a better idea of how it looks? Also, once you receive more of those boxes will you ship keysets in them?

Yeah, I will also sell them for real cheap.  I know a bunch of people need some place to hold their keysets.  Ziplock bags are pretty annoying! (Saves a lot of space though).

[calavera]

When will these keyholder boxes be available?

[remedyhalopc]

ETA on the 80g spring test?

[Elrick]

When will these keyholder boxes be available?

YES, these are definitely worth buying in bulk.  Would be nice to see all my key-sets in these boxes, just looks so organized and cool  .

[sherryton]

When will these keyholder boxes be available?

2 months

ETA on the 80g spring test?

I will have to see if I have the tools available.

Sorry if this was already asked, was the HHKB picture you posted on FB a sign that you might do a special set of Topre caps?

[sherryton]

I will not at the time, because I cannot.  It was just a picture for fun.  I hope to be able to do this!

I figured as much >:|

Have you talked with Topre at all?

[sherryton]

I plan to go to some expos this year.  I hope I get to talk to them.  I talked to some other companies that would be interested in manufacturing the keycaps, but we just have to get the license from Topre.

[leesofi]

sherry, did you check my dolch shipping fee via payapl?

[sherryton]

sherry, did you check my dolch shipping fee via payapl?

Yeah, thanks a lot!  I did not even have to ask.  When the Dolch comes in, please remind me about customs...

I might forget at the time.

Just get China to do it. China doesn't give a **** about copyright infringement or patents : p

Yeah! Veiny hands unite! This explains why I prefer heavy tactile buckling springs.

on a related note, I was somewhat skeptical about the keycaps boxes, but my faith has been restored. I've thought these are excellent keycap storage for display and organization, and I'm sure to buy some.

No, ours will have 2 layers to make it more compact.

Just placed an order for the Dolch set (933). I received an email stating that I would be given login instructions but that has not occurred (perhaps it is not automated). Just wanted to verify everything was in order.

Thanks

The order was placed today. Although I did attempt to create an account on your site last week(on the 14th I believe).

Oh okay, you probably added the items to the cart because the order number was really a low number. 

[Sai]

how is dolch going? is it already in production ??

[sherryton]

It has been in production even before people found out about GMK.  GMK were looking up in their files for the correct colors, and they started manufacturing about 1-2 months ago.  It should really be here soon.

[bazemk1979]

I hope they send you some RGB's toghether with the Dolch sets.

[SmallFry]

How many sets of each colorway have you purchased for sale? 200; with 200 to you and 200 to KBDMod? Did you get all 400 sets or even more?

Why not? I don't understand.

Has the company still not emailed you back regarding the Dolch?
