What is gmk color code ?
What is gmk color code ?
Is this 75% compatible?
Yep. I'm a sucker for the vintage colorways. And GMK. I'm in.
I dare to ask why the numpad is not white on black and I'd suggest to make Pause/Break also in red to match symmetry with Esc.

Is it possible to have the "F" and "J" keys to be scooped and no nubs?
I mean red keycaps and white legends. Just like the red Esc, to match the original symmetry (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56aade6ed210b85419e21e0c/5841c8df46c3c4f2f7cf3ce4/5841c90803596e3099dc10f5/1480706313463/NLj28Pk.jpg?format=500w).I dare to ask why the numpad is not white on black and I'd suggest to make Pause/Break also in red to match symmetry with Esc.Maybe just the front printing in Red? That might be really interesting...
My suggestions:
- grey iso enter
- modern 1800 compatibility

No swe/fi support, just plain old, boring, market saturated uk caps. :(

Thanks!
How nice of them to change things mid buy, and in a less inclusive manner as well. WTF! :-XNo swe/fi support, just plain old, boring, market saturated uk caps. :(

If you read the update on Reddit, the UK-specific caps has been removed as well, in favour of 65%/75% support. The keyset designer has confirmed there will NOT be a grey ISO-enter as well, which really reduce the impact of this keyset for me, as an ISO-UK user who also wants the basic Grey Enter :(

They should just remove ISO completely instead of pretending that they give a damn. :'(

Ah, the picture in the op contains the 1xU alt and ctrl (and the UK iso keys). I guess it's 3x1xU keys for 3x1xU keys then. (Still annoyed at ISO always being shafted, but then again that almost standard by now so...)No swe/fi support, just plain old, boring, market saturated uk caps. :(

1u Alt, Ctrl and <>| have been added.
so this set with both scooped and nubbed F/J keycaps?? I like the scoops, but my gamer son hates them lol.
Pricing for this was very important, and covering the majority of keyboards that people have for as little as possible is what I was aiming for with this buy. Obviously there will non-standard boards that just don't get covered. I'm not even making a penny from this buy because we both REALLY want to get an affordable set out there for people. And frankly, I think we did a pretty decent job. 60%/HHKB/Winkeylesss/TKL/TK, 980 style 1800, 65%, 75%, 96 key. We managed to cover a good number of boards that cover a vast majority of buyers I think.
Look, I'm sorry some of you guys don't like the ISO kit. I am. But like I've explained before its NOT a personal attack against ISO users or you personally, as people often make it seem.This is simply a numbers game. Going by past numbers of my buys I just know ISO hardly gets any sales. Original Jukebox run sold 8 kits I believe. Round 2 with over 2000k units sold had 30ish sold total. Other very popular sets right now, like 1965, have 8 ISO sets sold currently.
So when trying to keep the cost to what it is, all while covering as much as possible the decision making gets hard. Sure this ISO kit may not cover everything perfectly, but I had a very good long discussion with both Zambu and Tombrey (ISO users and designers) about the kit and both liked this current kit best. Hell, this IS the Carbon kit basically, and it concentrates on coverage and at least providing a key rather than providing all of the "correct" legends. With the numbers of ISO sales that would just be extremely expensive.
And I'm sorry half of you want a Grey enter. I thought I was doing you guys a favor by including the "cool" color enter key instead of the plain one. I know if i did it the other way around though I'd get the same number of people asking to get a red enter, or complaining that they have to buy the Cressaria kit (different color red, btw) to get a red enter. I had the same problem with doing the Hyperfuse set thinking about adding more enters and even Bunny told me it was going to end up not being worth adding extra ISO enter colors.
If you don't like the set, I am sorry. I'm not here to convince you to buy it by any means. I just wanted to make a set in a colorway that I always very much enjoyed and hope some people here can also get some enjoyment from this set as well. It has been a labor of love as usual with set designs, but we are pleased with where it is and think itll look great when it is produced! Sherry and I are both very excited about this and think it will come out looking great, especially now with the possibility of the custom color grey!
Those stats about iso kits sold on massflop are irrelevant. No European buys stuff on massflop. Import taxes are too high.

They have probably the best customer service, but import taxes at 35% kill my interests. Otherwise it's a very beautiful set
That is true. I guess Italy has much higher import tax than UK
That is true. I guess Italy has much higher import tax than UK
Actually, Italian VAT is 22% according to the latest updates far as I'm aware. That's not 35%, of course you have to add customs handling/storage fees so it most likely does end up being quite a far bit more than just the VAT - in my country and with DHL (all that MD use nowadays), given the packages get rebranded in Frankfurt Germany, we don't actually pay anything extra for MD purchases most the time. I guess someone who doesn't buy from MD wouldn't know, plus maybe other country's customs are more competent/inquisitive than mine, but still.
The stats about ISO from Massdrop are far from irrelevant, calling them massflop doesn't further corroborate one's point - same sort of numbers can be observed elsewhere, if a designer doesn't think it is cost efficient to include ISO (which is obviously is not, don't need to be a designer/vendor to see that) then of course they will drop some (or all) of its keys in favour of other more relevant (read: profitable) ones. It'd be nice if we could all have NORDE ISO in every single set for $0 additional dollars but that's nothing but Utopia. I'm all for inclusion but there are things you cannot argue.

The last $55 massdrop packet required a payment of about $20.
The massdrop stats are irrelevant because most europeans know about import taxes, so they often delay or avoid buying from them.

If you read what I wrote I stated making wordplays doesn't prove your point, which is true, not that you can or cannot make them. Unsure where or how you managed to understand it that way.
Livingspeedbump lives in the US. He is dealing with Originative which is a US based company. How many orders do you think they get from Europeans? Furthermore, how many Europeans do you think use ISO rather than just regular ANSI? Only EU (rather, UK) based company I know of that hosts MK related GBs is mechsupply, are there more? Probably, I've never bought from one and I've never seen any others referenced here on GH however so I'm not in the know.
If someone avoids buying from MD won't they avoid buying from anywhere else where taxes may incur? Of course smaller websites/businesses may be able to help you declare lower values in order to have you dodge taxing but firstly it's not granted they will be willing to, second it is not granted your country's customs will accept it without proof of purchase (which you then have to "stage" because your original receipt will be for $100+) and lastly this may not even occur to most people.
If a buy is mostly going to be held within the US then obviously they will prioritize layouts popular over there rather than cater to potential buyers who reside elsewhere. Logistically and economically speaking advocating something as you are trying to is moot point, even for $2 it's about appeasing the vast majority for the sake of the 1%. As said, I'm all for inclusion, I understand your frustration but you have to understand why it is not reasonable in the grand scheme of things.

The color will also be changed to a custom color to match the original SA Honeywell. I have talked to Andy, and I am using the same tone for another set.
This may mean the MOQ will go up to 250, but I will talk to GMK on Monday.

Thanks. This is pretty much exactly what I would say. I did the best I could and this is what the set is. If you don't like the set I am sorry, but you don't have to buy it either.
And I stated before, if more orders came for ISO, I'd include more. But I'm trying to cover spots on what I can for a decent price. The other alternative is to give the complete ISO kit that some people seem to want, make it a separate child deal that will cost $65+, and when it doesn't tip nobody gets any ISO coverage, because like Vigrith said, numbers can be argued all day but i can 110% guarantee an ISO kit for this won't hit MOQ on its own. I would be surprised if 10 sold.

The WIN logo key has been changed to "Code" so hopefully that works better for you, and everyone on other OS' as well. Fit the theme more I believe too. All in all just a more useful key I think.
full scoops? wow, sorry for that. It was a nice color anyway... great taste except for the red iso :-)
Furthermore, how many Europeans do you think use ISO rather than just regular ANSI?Calling ansi regular is pretty blasphemous. Also, according to Granite R4 the international kit is more popular than wkl bottom row, maybe you should get rid of that as well while you are at it. :)) It would be nice if other sets would also have better distinction over specialty keys so that we could have a fuller picture on the matter. :)
You might want to update the first post and the website as they both show the UK ISO in them with no mention of the change.This.

Yes, red enter is nice! Especially if accompanied with keys that have appropriate legends on them:

As the price is a bit harder on European customers because of customs and having to buy more kits, it would be nice if the base tkl kits in popular colourways could be split to ansi specific keys and a truly international base. 7bit seems to have been able to do it, and while you may criticize the time his buys take (forever), the basic kit structure (and affordability because of it) could be adopted to other buys as well.
It is a pity that massdrop has not committed to the European market, by having its own corporate entity on this side of the pond. That would effectively remove some 25% of the cost of sets and drop postage prices considerably as well. Originative seems to be a very small business, so I think that they should just focus more on the american market and simply stop with the mutilated ISO support that they are willing to provide.
On a real honeywell keyboard, the grey colour of those alpha legends seems to be deeper than modifiers' grey. However in this set, the greys seem to be the same?
On the SA kit, the legends on the alphas are approaching black.

Love the "Code" key so it's more universal! This color palette is so classic. Will definitely join in January.
Sorry, I guess my tone was out of place.
Love the colours, love the red enter, love the layout options.
Good luck with reaching the MOQ! :thumb:

I'm just trying to do what benefits the most people. I am sorry if that excludes some of what you want. At the end of the day adding a few keys that 10 people needs means making 200+ people spend an extra $8 that for things that they don't need. Finding a balance is impossible, there is no perfect line between perfect coverage and perfect price.
Still, if someone approaches me and nicely asks "yo, can I run an ISO specific child deal for jukebox (or whatever set I do)?" I'd say "thanks for asking. of course", and give you whatever you needed to do your own run.
When I wanted extra hyperfuse colors on GMK that is exactly what went down between Bunny and I. I said "hey would you be into adding a few extra colors in a small kit?" And he had absolutely no issue with that. I made sure any profits I'd have gotten went his way, as he was the original designer and I don't deserve those funds, and went on my way doing the kit.
The same thing goes for all these jokers with crazy layout keyboards these days. It would literally cost hundreds to cover all standard and international layouts plus all the community made board layouts. My logic has always been "don't buy a a funky little 40% an expect any cap sets to cover it. Just piece together what you can for it."
I know it sucks for ISO sometimes. Hopefully guys like the UK Keycaps guys keep working at it to provide you guys with more sets. In the future (not this run, logistics are already in place) I'd have no problem talking to someone like that before a run, and seeing if they want to run their own ISO kits or something. That's a talk for another place, but I'm just trying to think of solutions instead of just complain. There is a lot that could be done, should anyone have any real ideas or solutions that would work for you ahead of time feel free to PM me.
Sent email to contact@originativeco.com. If any changes to this set have been made to what was offered for sale and pictured, I expect a full refund immediately. Full scoops? Code keys? **** THAT. GIVE ME MY ****ING MONEY BACK. Or I will file a dispute immediately.
This appear to be more of an interest check and not a group buy yet so why is money being taken?

I don't really care about Code vs WIN (personally I like diamonds), but when Sherryton returns you guys should definitely contact everyone who has already bought in and give them a chance for a refund. Adding keys is one thing but removing keys is no good. I also agree that this sort of thing should've been sorted out prior to launching the GB.
FWIW, I do not believe there was/is any intention to deceive. I love the set and I am grateful for the work that livingspeedbump and Sherryton have done to bring us this GB. Thank you.

lsb, does full scoops mean that all keys are scooped? that does sound interesting for a gmk set but i am a bit concerned about how usable that would be for me. personally i like the sculpted look of SA but functionally it is "untypeable" for me. there's the height issue but i also think it has to do with the sculpted tops as well.
i have round 5 SA and love the colorway but i really can't use it much, and i was very excited to see you guys creating this colorway in gmk form. but full scooped gmk has me worried, and i was really hoping for traditional gmk since that works great for me. full scoops is what SA group buys are for haha.
i already have an order placed and am willing to take the chance for this colorway that i love, but i would very much prefer if we could avoid doing full scoops.
a lot of drama here, it not smooth as I expected.

I thought it looked pretty sexyShow Image(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/9a/d5/0c/9ad50c88dca24918405b249228baa892.jpg)
lsb, does full scoops mean that all keys are scooped? that does sound interesting for a gmk set but i am a bit concerned about how usable that would be for me. personally i like the sculpted look of SA but functionally it is "untypeable" for me. there's the height issue but i also think it has to do with the sculpted tops as well.
i have round 5 SA and love the colorway but i really can't use it much, and i was very excited to see you guys creating this colorway in gmk form. but full scooped gmk has me worried, and i was really hoping for traditional gmk since that works great for me. full scoops is what SA group buys are for haha.
i already have an order placed and am willing to take the chance for this colorway that i love, but i would very much prefer if we could avoid doing full scoops.
I liked the homing bars, but I'll probably pick up a set anyways

Ok, i checked on this. There are F & J with Scoops in the 104 set and F & J with bars included as extras. All keys are not scoops! It is totally normal in this sense, the wording may have just been wonky where you saw that.
Okay, sooooo this set with include F/J caps with bars as extras?? I'm so confused LOL!! Thanks!! Love the set and it will go well with all of my "red" anodized keyboards.

ah great, thanks for verifying. sherry posted about "full scoops" (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=86286.msg2318734#msg2318734) earlier, and then you had replied later with pics of full SA keysets, so i was wondering what was going on. normally buys will mention F & J or homing keys. maybe gmk has "half scoops" or something, haha.
If the WIN key is that important to people I'll look at paying out of my own pocket for them.I'm willing to pay $10-20 more just for a couple of logo keys. That's how important they are for me :(
You should really have a definitive set before offering it for sale.
Any way we can get a 1U R4 "00" to accompany that 1U R4 "0" (I can't think of a layout in which you could use a 1U R4 0 without a 1U R4 00)? Also, There is a 6U space bar included, correct? If yes to both, I am in!
PS geez are people normally this rude to GB runners? Give the guy a break. He's just trying to do what's best for everyone :(

"Interest Checks" sub-forum is quite useful for this. Though it does mean publishing your plans in front of competitors...
p.s. still hate sales tax :(
OP has been updated by Sherry.
General summary of the FINAL update: All changes have been added on top of all the original keys. If you already purchased the set, you get these keys for free! We are covering the cost. If you join now, the cost has risen a nominal $5, but you get all of the additional keys and coverage.
We are sorry for any frustration, we really do hope you guys enjoy this set :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
Sherry is absolutely the man for making this happen.

This means if we buy the set right up until the cut off date (January 17th) we can still get the 6 UK keys? For $5 I think it's worth it! Are there any price hikes between now and then? (i.e. if I order on the 16th of January will the price still be $135?)

Thank you everyone who have participated in the Honeywell Group Buy so far and have continued to support us. For the people that have already joined, you guys will get our new updated kit with the extra keys at no extra cost. For all new participants, the cost have increased by $6. Andy and I will fill in the rest of the payments to help incur the costs.

As I've said earlier, now that the set has everything I need I'm back in the GB! :D Thank you to both of you!
it is RO2, not V1Nice! From the photos I've seen RO2 looks way better than V1.
Taking a quick glance and wondering if this will fit an Ortholinear board. It doesn't look it but can you add Planck compatibility? :D
Very happy this supports 65% layout, but what does everyone think I should use as a 1u R1 backspace key for my 68 key?
Any possibility to have an European proxy, to get a shipment from Europe instead from USA?
After all, GMK is in Germany, and it is crazy (and sad!) for us Europeans to pay custom and shipment two times...

The caps are only produced by GMK. The retailer you're buying from is Originative.
I don't think it's that crazy if you think of it that way. And can you explain what you mean by paying custom and shipment two times?

This is not a vendor sale though they are part of who is running it. This is a GB at a GB price. Originative would be selling it on a retail after GB closes.
Tax I believe is from GMK > US (we all pay) and then US > buyer (EU pay again).
Mildy confused here - is ISO removed or not? The OP, kbdist, and Originativeco all show and mention the inclusion of ISO UK caps.
Okay, thanks.Mildy confused here - is ISO removed or not? The OP, kbdist, and Originativeco all show and mention the inclusion of ISO UK caps.
ISO has been removed at some time but it is now back into the set. The renders you mention are up to date.

Agreed, if GMK was to be kept within Europe we'd save an insane amount of money, I wish there was a way - making that logistically possible however is probably not going to be very easy.

fantastic looling set guys
great work
Extra 2.25u Shift, 1.25u R4 CapsLock with matching 1.75u R3 Control = first GMK set to achieve nearly full 660-compliance (still need the 1.25 Fn, though) :thumb:
That's an extra thumbs up :thumb:
The WIN logo key has been changed to "Code" so hopefully that works better for you, and everyone on other OS' as well. Fit the theme more I believe too. All in all just a more useful key I think.
Booya. I should have done the same with my stormtrooper buy, but went with blanks instead. UNIX/Linux/MacOS users unite!
Hey guys,
Sooo before I drop a considerable amount of cash on this set can it please be clarified if I will be getting FULL ISO support I.e the relevant 2 key and £ key etc. I don't really want to buy if I'm not getting everything to do a full key swap out on my Filco TKL with exactly the correct keys.
Thanks in advance
Could sherryton share a picture of the GPA color chip if possible? I couldn't find any sample online and the rendered modifiers looks green-ish to me.

I had to doublecheck myself. The website states "January 13, 2017 - Group buy orders will end" so I would assume that is the date still.

hey guys,
Sorry about the lack of updates. Things have been real busy at Ocorp. The support has been tremendous. We have sold a little over 130, and we aren't done yet.
A few updates I like to make:
1. Payment will go to GMK this week.
2. I have the samples for the colors, and I'll update that tomorrow.
2a. The grey is a custom color, the exact one used for SA honeywell, and is a darker color than the one originally planned. It's a really nice color.
The white will most likely be CP to help compliment the darker grey.
I'll let you guys know when the payment has been submitted and if there is any other new information.

Will the font color of alphas be N9 or CP?
From light grey and white to dark grey and beige... I thought no more changes were going to occur. Is CP the same alpha colour as the SA set? The SA alpha caps look more white than beige to me.

GMK CP is "white".. just not bright white. It's not beige. It's one shade away from their default whitest WS1. The lighting in the photo is deceiving, and I suspect it also makes the gray darker than reality.
zoom in on this. You'll see CP is pretty white, while 2M has a definite gray tone, and WS1 is just a little whiter than CP.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/4HansnG.jpg)

Yeah, exactly. WS1 is almost pure white, but CP is like in between. I think it's the perfect white for this set.

Just wondering if this shade of white will match the originative black/white set. A num pad or arrow cluster with white legends on black keys would look really nice as an accent.

It's not beige. It's actually white. The initial color was 2M which is the one used on HyperFuse. 2M is white colored with grey-ish hints in it. CP is more white. Neither of these colors are beige.

Another thing to note is that GMK renders are especially notorious, and often appear lighter/more washed out than the actual sets.

I wish the gray were more like "2B", just a little bit darker, if at all. Would have gotten a set if that were the case. Very nice set otherwise.

I have no MX boards sadly.
Aaand now I feel like a huge dummy for assuming "ends the 13th" meant the end of the day; I see the price went up. Don't suppose theres any way to get in at $135 since it's still the 13th? :-X

I have refunded everyone who has ordered past midnight and will change the price to $135 until Midnight. Sorry about that!

Hey guys,Which key was it?
One of the keys didn't come out great. They made the double-shot wrong, so I am trying to ask for a new one. They said they may give it to us since their key was not aligned with our render. The set may be delayed one week.
Expect the set to be shipped in 5 weeks.

Which Honeywell keyboard is this set modeled after? Round 5/6 HONEY was modeled after this:Show Image(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20140709/meta5ute.jpg)
Key features to note (aside from the tall spherical profile, of course) are the all-black numpad, all-gray F-row, and only a small touch of red.
What's the deal with the red accents mentioned on the current Honeywell "bundle" page? I don't recall having an option to add accents. And if it's a new option, it would be great if GB participants could have first crack at adding it.
Psyched you guys got it in!

Does this include those who missed the true GB window and bought it after it closed a few months back when it went to $150ish (can't remember exact price) also? Thanks!
So I was sent an email saying I needed to pay extra for shipping (thought this was always going to be in trays). Anyways, I was like whatever and paid it. Today I noticed that the extra shipping charge was refunded?

Omg. So glad I got in on this. It was my first ever group buy. I had a hard time convincing myself I could pay so much for little pieces of plastic. I convinced myself based on the reasoning that it would be an endgame keyset. I think I was right!
That is exactly how I was hoping it'd turn out. TBH I didn't really have interest in the lighter grey from the early/GMK renders, but I went in on the buy when I saw the actual color samples; really glad I did.

Sherry picked out the grey! I'm so glad he did too!
Was also my first ever group buy. I had been waiting for a set in this sort of colourway to go with my set up and this just hit it right on the mark by being an interesting set that wasn't "too" red.To many more GBs to come!!
Just got my email that the shipment is on it's way and I'm super excited!!
Thanks for all the hard work guys

A proper tray.
Just got my set. Only got one red accent key (iso enter) with the base set. I was under the impression that the original group buy participants would get the whole red accent kit as shown in the pictures.....
It's a great set but those red accent keys really set it off and it's not the same without them. It's odd because the GMK box lists the base as having the full 155 pieces and Originative doesn't have the accent kit listed as a separate item.
If I can't get the red accent kit then I may off load my order.

The grey is spot on! BUT, i should have looked sooner,a second 1.5u ALT(ignore, there is a second 1.5u ALT GR)and possible another 1u R4 FN or blank key would have been nice.

It was my opinion that users could use the CODE keys for that if needed, there was an extra at one point, but we def had to trim the fat on this to reach a good price for the GB! Those BOOPs are amazing!!

First Cherry/GMK set and I have to say I'm very pleased. I now understand what the hype is about;'; besides the profile being nice, the extra thickness of the caps seems to give a bit weightier feeling which I'm fond of. Also Honeywell looks great, as others have said it even looks better in person.
I went with the Backspace since that's what I use it for but you're right about the Delete, just looks cleaner.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/PEJGyYH.png)
Is this out of stock already?Yup

Here's a picture of my set!Love the all grey! Love how versatile this set is, with the three options for Esc and the options for arrows and enter.

Didn't even notice all the broken cross supports... is that normal with GMK?

This is really disappointing and I believe it affects the resale value substantially. Sheraton, is GMK planning to do anything to make this right?Pretty much all of mine have at least one missing, roughly half of them have all 4 parts of the cross brokenShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/tSKdcAD.jpg)

I'll be speaking more to GMK this week. I'll let you guys further know the issue when we discuss about it!Thanks for the heads-up Sherryton.
I already passed this info along with photos to OCo (who replied very quickly and said that they will notify GMK and see how they respond), but am posting this just as a general heads-up since I have seen at least one other person with this same issue, specifically with the Esc key. The key has a burn on the stem which was apparently - in my case - enough to weaken the plastic to the point that it cracked the first time I pulled the cap.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/08ba6CB.jpg)
I bought my set after the GB ended for full price. And my esc key is böackened too.Just to add that mine has the same burn.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/s042nhO.jpg)
Did Originative get back to anyone about the burnt escape keys? In email they told me to expect a response in a couple of weeks, but that was over a month ago.
