I love plums, and GMK caps are my favorite - I would totally support this gb! Wish there was a little bit more red, but I love the concept :thumb:

I was considering more red, but I felt it was just... too strong. This set is understated, and I didn't want to mess with the fragile balance. :)
These colors are something else ;) , consider my interest expressed! Please do brazzers inspired set next, lolz :))
This is the perfect set for me. I was talking to my brother about what colour sets would go with my gold lustro case (as I sort of regretted going gold). He said plum and I was like there isn't anything like that. Now this shows up. Count me in!
Looking great! ;D
I usually am not very fond of colorful f-row, but in this case I think the red f5/f6/f7/f8 will look great. IMO you should also add red printscreen, scroll lock and pause for symmetry.
I've seen the set a few times before, but would you be able to upload the pic directly to the op? This way that'll help catch the interest of others immediately (and will help those too lazy to click the link).
Thanks, cute dreams!

Geekhack is hard.
That looks great....Interested.
How about the text modifiers in a RGB or other colours just like in Penumbra keyset?

Nope. This keyset isn't Penumbra, and I am proud to say it draws no inspiration from other keysets (Aside from Hyperfuse, which is where I got the reference for what layouts to support and what row the keys had to be.)
Sorry to disappoint, but I hear GMK Penumbra is coming soon!

Oh...I forgot about that GMK Penumbra....
Nevertherless....Still interested in these keyset. :thumb:
Please add homing bars! That costs only 1$ while giving you infinite more sells.She has asked for bars, just waiting for a render from GMK.

I really hope you buy this set Giorgio.
I'll be sad if this goes through Massdrop... I love this set so much - I'll get it regardless.
Yes, this idea is original. I did not draw inspiration from any other sets. I literally had a picture of a plum www.mvfruit.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Angelino_plum_03.jpg for my inspiration.
Repeating myself,
Love the set beyond imagination, but in addition to the bumped F/J's, please consider 1.25 blanks and stepped "Ctrl" :)
a dude says we need 250 sets to meet the custom color GB. is it really or does the designer look forward this to reach 250 in this GB which just need 150 to lower the price of this GB?
Holy **** this is gorgeous. I hope the custom colors don't blow the price up too much though...
I'll definitely be following the progress of this closely

Hey, if you get this on Massdrop and it's even a third as popular as Carbon, you'll still get past nice and fast.a dude says we need 250 sets to meet the custom color GB. is it really or does the designer look forward this to reach 250 in this GB which just need 150 to lower the price of this GB?
Unfortunately, the MOQ is 250 :/ That's just the way GMK is with custom colours. Nothing I can do there.
FYI, I am the designer of the set Just use a different name on GH than reddit.

Red 1.25u Windows key and Red Enter for the Numpad plzI agree with you on the 1.25u Windows keys, but I don't for the Enter key (but I'm sure if I used a numpad then I would so sure).
If this set hits Massdrop, it will be one entertaining announcement, brought to you by "Brazzers on GeekHack"
delicious :)) :))

Renders look excellent!
Ok, after seeing the renders, *now* I want it. :D
Never underestimate the power of snappy renders to sell a keyset. All hail thesiscamper of 3D!
And Cute... uh, Brazzers: really nice design! I'm liking the "aged ivory" look more and more...
Wow, ya... those renders are making an already attractive set an absolute must buy.
3D renders fits in with my imagination on the color-way when i first saw it
please keep this go on .
looks surprisingly good, I'm interested
Wow, i don't normally like these kind of colours. But this one looks pretty awesome! :thumb:

Really dig this, hope to see a GB!
Put me also down for "convinced by the renders". I thought the original set was pretty cool but not my thing. The renders though, holy carp those are some smooth colors.
Really dig this, hope to see a GB!
You'll see one soon enough. Going to try and get the start of it lined up with my birthday (Oct. 2nd)

By popular demand, Windows keys are gone. There will be a corrected version soon with 2 1u purple Code keys instead of 4 1u red ones.
Farewell, Windows key. I can't say you'll be missed by me.
Aww really? I'm not a big fan of the code key myself, don't really feel like it fits the aesthetic.
Very disappointed to see windows keys completely removed. At least give people the option like you did with the bars. It's enough to see me not getting this set for now.
Maybe add an extras pack, put them in the extras pack, along with some sweet blanks
Alright, I definitely hear you all and your requests. I will adjust the set accordingly.
I can't please everyone, but I'm going to damn well try.

Phew! Thanks god the Windows keys are back.
It's interesting that Win is considered a win ...
An operating screws people, world, repeatedly, endlessly, it should be hated
IMO, only recently it became an enjoyable operating system
It's interesting that Win is considered a win ...I don't like any of the alternative keys for that spot (blank, diamonds, code)

The number of hours that I've spent fixing that goddamn os is astronomical. The 8.1 required 15 hours of work to be useable.
I don't understand why people would want a windows key.
Uniqey has recently added a new legend for the modifiers, similar to a Q. There's a gb right now with that legend.

Haha, likewise, I assumed Win10 would be different, but spent countless hours debugging an installation issue, it turned out to be the infinity-controller locking the initial installation, turns out some keyboards/mouses can freeze the installation
Everyone experiences these, one way or another, then requesting a Win key seems a bit like masochism to me, but I respect it - If I had a keyboard that I only use on a Windows system, I might've used a Win key too, if a blank or themed key isn't available
Thanks for letting me know about that GB, I missed it earlier, didn't interest me tho, since If I wanted that set, I would buy the keyboard, sell the bare keyboard (or keep it ')

I support the "Win" legend too btw, I was just surprised by the request, as, in earlier GB/IC's, there was always the Win/Icon there and other people requesting alternatives, seeing the other side of the coin just surprised me
It's also interesting no one goes for the "Cmd" with the GMK's, "Code" is a nice modifier key, I actually have an IDE modifier that would love to house a "Code" key, but for OSX Cmd usage, using "Code" just seems wrong, it's either "Cmd" or Blank for me, it's an obsession (Blank preferred, as I sand the key, to make it more comfortable to press with a thumb)
On the topic of plum icon: https://www.google.com/search?q=plum+icon - It would probably deliver too many subliminal messages, especially considering Brazzers is the creator :)

Funny enough, the reason I didn't go for plum symbols originally was because it looked too much like a butt.

I also just wasn't quite happy with how it looked, honestly. It felt.. out of place, in this set.

If we're being honest, look at how various ISO kits struggle to sell anyway.
GBs are succeeding with or without European users.

Don't you think that statement is a little crass? I've been using ANSI layout keyboards for like 15 years now, every single person I know that even remotely cares for keyboards, even ones who don't really delve into the set/keycap world(s) use ANSI and I live in Europe, from all sorts of different countries too. I haven't seen an ISO layout keyboard at real tech store in years.
Just because ISO kits struggle to sell does not mean European buyers aren't buying custom sets and that their success is exactly the same without us, it's mindblowing to me that you can even think that's the case.
PS: Unless by "European users" you strictly mean ISO users, which I'm pretty sure you don't, else you would've worded it differently and it wouldn't have made any sense anyway within the context of this conversation.
GBs are succeeding with or without European users.
While a little crass, the point I was trying to get at was that those users who are worried about import taxes aren't going to tank a group buy.

What do you mean? Wouldn't you have to pay taxes regardless no matter what website you buy it through? I've bought keys on Originative before and have paid import taxes every time, they clearly state so too on their website - "If you place an order from a country outside of the United States, you may be subject to applicable customs, import duties and taxes, which are the sole responsibility of the buyer/receiver." Am I missing something?
Oh and by the way ever since Massdrop started using DHL international as their main (or exclusive, actually) shipping method to European customers things have changed a bit - I've received a decent amount of packages from MD after the switch and the orders make a stop in Germany (Frankfurt) to be redistributed to other countries from there. As a result, they get relabelled and more often than not customs fees and wait time are heavily, if not completely, staggered.
First time I noticed it I thought it was just a fluke because it was a relatively cheap set of keys, like 40€ or something, but in Portugal our VAT limitation is roughly 25€ - needless to say I was intrigued regardless, then after I received a couple more MD orders I noticed that after relabelling in Frankfurt the sender country is registered as Germany and not the US (save one singular occasion out of like 10). I'd imagine if the local post bothers to look up the DHL tracking trail things may be handled differently, plus most my orders didn't exceed 50-60~ dollars but I had my brother order a DarkVoice which is a 9 pound $250 tube amp from recently to test the theory and once it arrived he didn't have to pay a dime either. Same goes for a friend of mine who dodged $200 in customs and handling fees in Iceland after receiving his Fostex TH00X a week ago.
Anyway, I digress, point being if we have to pay import taxes no matter where the GB is held, Massdrop might be our best bet. Food for thought.

GH group buys don't usually pay taxes when handled by members of the forum....
Maybe we could use European proxy?

For steel, I've had pretty good experience with a metal specific primer and then paint on top. I got both from the brand Rustoleum, they carry quite a large range of paint products. I haven't painted plates specifically, but I painted my PC case panels a few years back and never had peeling issues

Good tip, thank you very much, I'll look for that brand.

Most metals are easy, unless they have an odd finish on them. Even then they're easy, just maybe a different step or two.
For a basic steel plate, scuff with scotch brite pads, wash with dish soap and water, let dry, spray primer, spray color. Depending on the finish you want, you can also add clear coat and/or wetsand with 1500-2000 grit to get various degrees of gloss.
The main challenge with painting is being outside US
You can't find primers, you can't find spray paints
How long has other GMK set group buys on massdrop taken to ship after the buy period is over? really hoping to get this on my board when it comes ^.^
Anyone have any ideas for some custom cables that would match and good with this set?
which phase is this keyset on? im getting excited at the same time worried about my savings LOL
Yay massdrop!!! I hope it would be as successful as GMK carbon :thumb:

Currently working on getting a timeframe from Massdrop. It's somewhere between interest check and group buy, stuck in limbo

Have any picks of it? Wanna see how it looks with the shrink.

custom cable world definitely needs some more cable shrink colors - even a single, darker shade of grey would do
I made the suggestion to pexon a while ago, I hope they can find one
It looks awesome! Is there any chance that you consider a China proxy? If so, I'd love the help with that!

Due to my severely limited language skills (only fluent in English, semi-fluent in French and very very basic Swedish / German skills) I personally can't do that. Might look into it though!

Oh, I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm happy to help setup the China proxy or connect with China proxy if you are interested :)
can you add red numpad enter? it will looks good on 1800 board :3

Well, with the success of GMK Carbon's, it's not out of the question?
Jesus, with my NYE trip to London booked and all of the other things going on - I really don't want to miss out on this because it would be a dream come true as far as my setup goes. Is there any news about European proxy due to the huge taxes and import fees (my country has 25% tax...)

I have been wondering for weeks upon weeks why I really want this set. Then it hit me while I was replaying an old game.
I'm a huge final fantasy fan, and in Final Fantasy 6, my favourite character was Mog. Mog is a moogle. Here is a moogle.QuoteShow Image(http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/8/8f/XI_Killer_moogle.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121130151930)
I can not unsee, and therefore, I am definitely in for this as my first GMK keyset GB (Sorry jchan! I was super close on deciding on Hydro, but Porygon is my favourite Poke).
I'm going to keep calling this GMK Moogle to myself, cause I don't like the taste of plums. Thank you for the concept!

Funny thing is, I ****ing hate eating plums. Their taste and texture is awful.
I think this is irony, but I've never been strong on determining it.
Awesome.
This has been a brutal couple of months for GB's so I, for one, am happy for a bit of a respite for my wallet.

Really hope the blanks are added, with most sets, alternative blanks go with the set, but not with this one, adding a foreign keycap would ruin the perfection

it is known that you always ask for blanks; but, what are those for? I recall you show a sixty Layout with 1.25 arrows, are the blanks for that?
I press the 1.25 + 6.25 + 1.25 with my thumbs, since GMK/Cherry keycaps are a bit piercing/rough, I sand these 3 keycaps on the corners
So blanks are both "flexible modifiers" - and they are also sandable, without any risk

Instead of sanding, why don't you simply reverse the keycaps? I reverse every GMK spacebars I intend to use without palmrest.
The rendered keys look so matte that it reminds me of sandpaper. Yikes!
After putting an order in for Skeletor and Hyperfuse, I am relieved Plum is delayed. :-[ Looking forward to February! :thumb:
ISO masterrace :)
I assume the ISO modifiers will be sold seperately?

When does it hit MD?Earlier in the thread she said she was looking at February 2017
Awesome looking set. It may not be possible, but the one thing I'd love to see is a blank 1.25 key ( or 1.25 capslock ).
Everything is one kit-- holy--

Any chance of us getting 40% support, specifically the MiniVan?

also, what gmk colors would be used on this set?
Such a tough decision... GMK Plum or Godspeed Custom SA? :-\

No novelties, I'm not a big fan of them and I think they look tacky most of the time, so I decided to forgo them for Plum. Maybe on my next keyset, I'll properly design some.
The colours of the alphas and mods are a secret ;) Since they're custom, they don't even have GMK colours. The red accent keys will be RO1.

Such a tough decision... GMK Plum or Godspeed Custom SA? :-\
Plum won't be coming to GB for around 4 months, there's no reason you can't get both ;)

Wow, I somehow forgot to update the image on here. Duh!
Also added a 1.25u Fn key and that's a wrap. That's literally 100% of the keys that will be in this set.
No more blank 1u keys? :(
I'm an OSX users and there isn't any keycap in the current lineup to use as "Cmd"
I personally don't get Code too much, sure it's nice to have, but there are some Windows users who just don't like them, can't speak for all of them, and as an OSX User, I can't use Code for Cmd, It just doesn't make sense
Maybe instead of coloured "Code" keycaps, add a regular Plum coloured "Cmd" for OSX'ers
My .02 :(

Blanks are selfish, I need them, I use them, but Cmd is more of a common need for OSX users, if there were Cmd's instead of Blank's, even if a single Cmd, I would let go off my blank obsession and use that
I see a lot of OSX users suffering like me, if you ever see an odd blank near a spacebar, that's probably an OSX user, I sometimes message people here, on Reddit etc., to inquire about them, they all turn out like me :)

Blanks cost the same as any other double shot key; but, they take half the labor and material than any other key, you prefer to pay the same while getting less, bad economics pal.

I paid $50 for 2 blanks recurringly in the past, so economics is indeed bad

Eh, I've seen it used in lots of builds. Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't think of it myself.
Plus hey, it's one extra key. Cant affect the price THAT much, can it? :P
Thanks Jessica for the update, I am not sad that the 1u R4 blanks are gone, but full UK support is hard for me to pass by, and all the different layout options this supports is really great!
Ironically, after production GMK will probably have tons of blanks as a result of botched doubleshotting... ;)
Very excited to see this come together!
I love all the 1.25 and other bottom row options =)
What type of plastic are the caps using ABS or PBT or other?
Thanks

I personally prefer Cmd/Sys to Code, but it is nice to see these many Code/Windows accent and size options for the bottom row.
The R2 1.5u Backspace legend has been changed to a simple arrow in the latest render. I liked the previous one with the crossed arrow better. This one looks like it is missing something.
Excited nonetheless! :)

This is actually the first GB I've followed since the original Hyperfuse. Very excited to get this on my board.
Do you plan on only having this on Massdrop, or will there perhaps be a more direct way of ordering?
hay, hay~
Will trays be an option ? Can everything fit in a tray with the spacebars packaged separately ? :thumb:
much excite ~

Trays will be an option, of course. I'd like to have trays be the only option honestly. Bags just scratch the keys, and I don't want to deal with that heartbreak.
If everything doesn't fit in a tray, I'm pretty sure GMK have extra, smaller ones to put the rest in

Bags do not scratch keys. Trays do not stop you from having scratched keys.
It's a GMK quality control problem.
The 'bags scratch keys' argument is so stupid. Bags have never scratched keys. I have literally dozens of sets that were shipped in bags and only a couple were scratched new. Same for sets that came in trays.
Bags in boxes with peanuts or bubble wrap. It's really simple, don't be cheap and skimp on shipping by using bubble mailers.

If only more people had your point of view.
I mean, GMK TA came in trays and they were just simply ****ed up from the manufacturer. By now, you'd think people would realize that GMK is a little skimpeh on QC, instead of blaming the people who run a GB's shipping process.
What does the new tray look like? If so I believe I have it, are they with the little white plugs?
I am currently working on a "smart" collection of keys that can be used by GMK GB designers to add a decent ISO-International support to their GB without much trouble and effort.
Since you already included most of the ISO-UK keycaps in your set, there are "only" 25 additional keys required to add very solid support for UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark while also providing much improved but still only partial support for Spain, Italy and Portugal. Since ISO-International support has never been done before in a GMK GB, this would make any GMK GB with ISO-International support the more appealing to us ISO folks.

If you click on the layout name you can see the legends.
Depending on the MOQ we reach with this kit, I believe the markup for adding these keys should be <20$ even with just 150 sets, getting closer to 15$ the higher the MOQ gets. Still waiting for a statement from GMK but that's what I would expect with the experience from my recent GMK GB.
EDIT: So yeah while I'm well aware the chance these keys are considered for the current GB are slim I would still love to get some feedback from Brazzers. She's been through a lot of input in this GB and this is a very lovely and popular IC with the potential to reach high MOQ. Would be very interesting for me to hear her opinion about internationalizing a GMK GB.
EDIT2: Got a response from GMK regarding the potential markup when adding these keys to an exiting 100+ keys base kit and even with a 150MOQ the markup should be less than 20$!

I'd do a separate buy for it, but I just don't expect 250 sets to be paid for.

GMK colours are always wrong. Go by the 3D renders I've provided in the OP. I even marked which ones I approved of when we were working on the final details (me and thesiscamper) as "Colour Accurate" or something. Most of them should be, but some are not so be warned

Hey! I'm going to be building plenty of hype for this set, I just don't want to wear people's motivation down too soon. This set goes live on Massdrop in February, so I will be building serious hype come the first of 2017.
I've got some exciting news to share though, when the time comes ;) I bet you'll all love it.
Hi, is there some news? Please continue to actively drum up interest. Happened just the failure GMK Retro became a bit nervous

Does GMK ship to Massdrop then the keys take a round trip back to Germany?

Should have solid dates with in the week. *wink*
Probably a bit late but will there be any chance of icon mods? I'll probably be buying the set regardless as I love the colours.
any fixed starting price for plum ?

YAY!!! I can't wait to get my hands on this set and the faster it drops the faster I can get it!
Quick question, I don't know if it has been asked yet or not but I wanted to see if there is a chance that you can add a spacebar kit as an add-on kit like T0mb3ry did for GMK Carbon? I would love to be able to use this on my VE.A without having keys that don't match.

I really don't like the idea of multiple kits for GMK buys. Hell, I don't even like them for SP buys.
That said, I did just email GMK to add a 2.75u blank key to the Ergodox set, which should cover the VE.A perfectly.

carbon also sold more sets than any other enthusiast GMK set in history. there were many price breaks that you should never expect for a standard MOQ set. rule of thumb is probably $130-140 for a full set like this. maybe a bit more because of the "custom" colors.

I am currently working on a "smart" collection of keys that can be used by GMK GB designers to add a decent ISO-International support to their GB without much trouble and effort.
Since you already included most of the ISO-UK keycaps in your set, there are "only" 25 additional keys required to add very solid support for UK, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark while also providing much improved but still only partial support for Spain, Italy and Portugal. Since ISO-International support has never been done before in a GMK GB, this would make any GMK GB with ISO-International support the more appealing to us ISO folks.
Here's the current version of effort, the _GREEN_ keys are the ones that I am advertising here!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/l6jHZ46.png)
Here's a link to the KLE work-in-progress project for your reference: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/6f7830fa68c43c022e3d691bddb1a9a2
If you click on the layout name you can see the legends.
Depending on the MOQ we reach with this kit, I believe the markup for adding these keys should be <20$ even with just 150 sets, getting closer to 15$ the higher the MOQ gets. Still waiting for a statement from GMK but that's what I would expect with the experience from my recent GMK GB.
EDIT: So yeah while I'm well aware the chance these keys are considered for the current GB are slim I would still love to get some feedback from Brazzers. She's been through a lot of input in this GB and this is a very lovely and popular IC with the potential to reach high MOQ. Would be very interesting for me to hear her opinion about internationalizing a GMK GB.
EDIT2: Got a response from GMK regarding the potential markup when adding these keys to an exiting 100+ keys base kit and even with a 150MOQ the markup should be less than 20$!

This key set doesn't have a Colemak kit, it doesn't have apple keys. That's usually my requirement for buying an expensive (i.e. Not 35euros) set.
However the colours are truly well matched, and I feel like this is a classic in waiting. I don't even need another set but there's a good chance I'm in on this, especially since the start date is now 14th.
Incidentally, are sp the only manufacturer who offers Colemak options?

You'd think signing all my important posts as Jessica would make it clear...
So, I considered doing this but this set is already over 160 keys, with 2 custom colours. The set is already big, and I'm pretty sure adding more keys would make it exceptionally costly.
I'd do a separate buy for it, but I just don't expect 250 sets to be paid for.
If it wasn't named after a fruit that I absolutely hate, I might be all in for this set... Shame that I can't unsee it now :(
Is there that much VE.A owner out there? Or is it because the one who owns VE.A will be the one who "can" buy more keys? I intend no offense, just curious because VE.A is always mentioned in the IC phase here and there but I rarely see them even on r/mm. Well it's spacebar fit MiniVan tho in the end.

I have to admit I didn't check the full thread but couldn't find any info about any potential international add-on kits. Is there anything planned?
I hope it isn't too much trouble to pick one of the existing GMK international kits and get a render from GMK in the Plum color scheme to offer it as an optinal add-on kit for the drop. This color scheme has the potential to reach numbers that can also tip an international kit!
The GMK Carbon international is a "full" international kit while the ISO essentials I have presented here before are a slim approach with a little bit of compromise.
Please apologize if this has been adressed before ...
If you don't want to deal with this but generally like the idea, I can assemble an international kit, send it in to GMK and deal with any questions they have to the point where you just have to approve it and provide it to Massdrop.

I'm in BW and more than willing to co-ordinate all the DE orders - I honestly think it's costing us 1000's of EUR collectively on tax and shipping and more crucially the risk of damage through transport.
If they are being shipping via trays then surely the ability to leave a few aside is feesible...

Guys, Massdrop is a company, not a charity. Why would they intentionally lose sales by letting EU buyers split off into their own GB?

I'm not proposing a separate GB or co-ordinate the entire EU, just DE. I don't mind making my payment towards MD. There are two clear benefits for DE buyers, that being less time spent in transport and an additional re-entry tax. Heck - I'm even willing to make a bulk order of 10 sets and take the collateral risk myself if that would grant me some leeway and help out people in DE - after all this is what this community is about. :thumb:

This is me pulling my head out of the sand. I like this. Good support, good colors, decent price.
Here's to a good sale.
What's the price again?
This is a fundamental misunderstanding. ANY order GMK ships to a location within the EU will be receive a 19% German VAT added on top.
When shipping to the US and back, the customs office will collect these 19% ... they are un-avoidable!
Some countries might have handling fees for customs, those could really be save but that will never be close to thousands of dollar ...
What's the price again?
Initial drop points are 250 units / $139.99 - 500 units / $129.99
Gets cheaper at 1k too but dunno what it'll be yet
If you have a VAT identification number, it doesn't need to be yours, GMK will not add the vat. So you save 19% VAT.

This.
If you have a VAT identification number, it doesn't need to be yours, GMK will not add the vat. So you save 19% VAT.
That's outright VAT fraud!
There are mechanisms in place to detect such behaviour. By participating in this EU VAT simplification process, you confirm that you are purchasing the product(s) AS A COMPANY and will register them with your local, national tax authorities. When you sell these items AS A COMPANY you would be required to charge the VAT to customers.
When GMK finds out you have been buying items with a fake VAT number, they will probably have to report you to avoid being charged with VAT fraud ...
Also if you would be buying as a company, you won't need to pay VAT even if you purchase from massdrop, as the VAT part of the purchase can be deducted in its entirety from sales tax from that year.
well the Dasher kit got past 1k so hoping this will aswell for maximum cheapnessWhat's the price again?

Glad to see it's already a success. I can't stand the negativity and ignorance md comments have turned into, though.
I just read through them. Many of them are positive! Just one small thread going on with a bit of discussion.

Great design speaks for itself, ALWAYS :thumb: .
The ones complaining are ALWAYS tyre-kicking morons who have no intention of buying any key-set but have all the time in the world to get nasty and repulsive.
These are people who have nothing in their lives but to kick someone else down to make themselves feel superior. Nothing new here because these are the millennials, parasites that never contribute to anything.
Needless to say, I joined up because I am not a millennial 8) .

Agreed. It seems like a higher-than-average number of people *****ing about the cost (ironic, given that the price is rather good), but I'd guess that's a sign of MD growing their eyeball-pool more than anything else.

What hyperfuse inflation? After the second round came out, aftermarket prices for Hyperfuse has come down now!
Great to see the international kit!! It does have some duplicates though (six to be exact, i.e. the UK keys already in the main set), maybe get rid of them and push the price down a little bit.

In contact with my MD guy right now to get this sorted. Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)
Update as of 15 Feb:
If Plum reaches 1k sets sold, this will become a novelty Esc and 2 OS replacement keys. These would not affect the price at all.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/4ZASwjk.jpg)
They'd match the rest of the modifiers so purple with yellow legends.
Here's hoping for the 1k mark 😊I ran into a similar problem with skeletor on my hhkb. My solution was to get some white pbt spacebars and dye them with idyepoly, so they would match the set. I couldn't match the main colors of skeletor perfectly, so I made a green spacebar, which I think works well with the set.
Is anyone trying to get these on a Topre board, but don't have mx/topre spacebar housings? What are you all thinking of doing for the spacebar?
Yeah was considering getting dye for a pbt spacebar, but I also realized that it might also be possible to yellow the stock ABS spacebar :P

Just FYI, Winnja has cables to match GMK Plum! https://www.winnja.com/gmk-plum-custom-sleeved-usb-cables.html (https://www.winnja.com/gmk-plum-custom-sleeved-usb-cables.html)
I just read through them. Many of them are positive! Just one small thread going on with a bit of discussion.
Agreed. It seems like a higher-than-average number of people *****ing about the cost (ironic, given that the price is rather good), but I'd guess that's a sign of MD growing their eyeball-pool more than anything else.

No kidding! The trolls on Massdrop seem to be out in full force these days and are especially smug in their own superior knowledge. I love the one guy that claims he has done his "research" and can make his own caps to rival GMK.

Yeah, I saw that one and just had to shake my head.
I actually think most of these guys claiming that it's a scam or that otherwise claim the product doesn't justify the price know deep down that they are full of it. I appreciate that a set of GMK or SP may be out of reach financially for many, but I think that sour grapes is at the heart of many of the comments. I know many people who can't afford something that will say it's over priced because they really wish they could get in on it; it's really an "if I can't have it, I'm going to belittle the product and those who buy it" attitude. There are many things I can't afford in this life, but I don't harbor any jealousy against the product or those who can afford to obtain it.
I guess you can maybe say...Sour plums are at the heart of it :cool:
But in all seriousness, I don't get the need to belittle the set. You don't like it, then don't buy it. Move on, no need to bash those who like it. Not like the caps will affect them. I seriously don't understand a troll's mentality.

Hey guys,
I am a long time on and off lurker and this group buy caught my attention. Before jumping in I would like to ask you more knowledgeable users a question that's bugging me for a while now. I figured I should write here since my question is sort of related to this buy and there should be more people looking at this thread atm.
First of all I would like to share that my perfect layout would be 75%? (Lightsaver) with an arrow cluster. Naturally at the moment this is only possible with 1.5u modifiers on the right side of the spacebar. As far as I could browse all GMK sets give no alternatives to these keys, except Ctrl and Alt. Does no one want to put the Fn modifier on the right and still have an arrow cluster? How do you solve this issue, if you have even thought about it?
The main question I am trying to ask is should I ever expect a set with an alternative R4 1.5u key (even blanks work), or should I give up and join this group buy seeing that it supports almost every layout out there? I saw that the ergodox kit has an R4, but I'm not sure it's 1.5u and buying the whole set for 1 key is too much of an overkill for me.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Update: GMK are sending me colour samples, I will be getting them shortly, I hope.
I hope this one stays on track. I'm feeling a little burned with Godspeed going so long overdue.
Oh yeah? Is there something up with all the SA sets?
I hope this one stays on track. I'm feeling a little burned with Godspeed going so long overdue.its ok man, at least its not toxic.
Well... I've planned to wait for some of samples before I join to the group buy.
But those samples are going to change and I don't know what should I do with my life.
And only 1 day left... can I trust you Brazzers?
Can you promise me that you will make this set look as your envisioned?
100%. I'm perfectionist as h*ck, and that isn't changing for this set.
I really like that alpha color, but agree that options are always great. Who knows, the next sample may be even better =)
The purple is obviously too dark, though. Not sure what pictures they were looking at when they picked that one out but hopefully they do better on the second try attempt.
Hey dudes, gotchu an update:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/UBp9Kol.jpg)
Colour samples!!! The purple is going to be changed, it's too dark for what I envisioned. As for the yellow, I'm a big fan of it, but I also want to weigh my options. Gonna have GMK make a more yellow-y choice and then I'll be able to decide if I like the paler one or the more yellow one.
The red is just a standard GMK colour and can be seen hereShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/4HansnG.jpg)(bottom row, far left) to give an idea of what itll look like.
I'll letcha all know stuff as soon as I know stuff!
With love
Jessica
I'm sure it'll be fine in the end.
It was the whole de-saturated colours that sold me on it though, more interesting than the greys and beiges out there, but still being somewhat sober and serious.
All the standard GMK yellows are too strong, the one in the colour sample looks a bit stronger than the renders to my eye (such as I can tell on this screen). I'd be happy with that, or just a touch more washed out.
As long as we don't end up with a honey-yellow abomination it's all good :thumb:

I think those ones look almost too yellow, while the plum ones have more of a beige-ish tinge to them.

I mean, i wouldn't complain if Jessica ended up with the exact same alphas color as gmk penumbra. But then again she received the sample (Which to me is yellowish rather than beige-ish) and want to weighed her options more by asking gmk for more yellowy than she originally received. That's why i'm curious what Jessica's take on gmk penumbra alphas.

Hey guys, figured I'd weigh in here.
First off, my camera and lighting sucks, so take the pictures with a grain of salt. The sample caps I got for the alphas are quite pale compared to penumbras, it seems. I'm aiming for something between what I've got now, and what's going on with penumbras.
Hopefully that calms some peoples mind. Basically, how it looks in the renders is how the set will really look.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/gmk-plum-add-on-keycap-kit/talk/1614598
Mhmm. Just took a little bit to get an official render for it due to GMK being on the other side of the planet and our working hours being less than ideal (Only 4 mutual work days and all that..).
Basically, the intl set now gives plenty of complete support for EU people. Sorry French and Spanish speakers, you'll make it in next time. It's sort of funny though, English, French and Spanish are the only languages I can actually speak with any degree of success and yet I didn't even consider the latter two for intl kit support :P
Hey hey everyone, got an email from GMK just yesterday and felt it appropriate to share.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/Sxrm09V.png)
Colour samples should be no later than next Wednesday, and Christoph seems confident in the purple, and I can practically guarantee I'll be going with the original alpha colour.
I will also be getting some help from my sister's friend who has a very nice camera and lots of experience, so she can take some very colour accurate photos of the keys, to give the best idea of what to expect :)
If you have any questions, ask away. I'll do my best to answer them.

I wanted to repost this from the massdrop comments to maybe get more attention and traction, granted it might be too late at this point.
Someone asked for 1u alt and ctrl keys to cover plank, which in turn made me think I will run into the same problem running this on my sentraq 65% that I'll be building.
Tldr: is it too late to ask for 1u r4 alt+ctrl keys?

TL;DR: Yes. R2 of Plum, should I decide to run it, will include this though!
Get to know me and you'll find that "compromise" isn't exactly a word I use too often; when I do, it's to mock people who believe in it.I wanted to repost this from the massdrop comments to maybe get more attention and traction, granted it might be too late at this point.

Honestly I'm not too beat up about it. There are plenty of keys to fit the bill not to mention most 65% are programmable and it doesn't matter as I can set it to whatever I want.
Also nice job making this come together. It's the first set I've seen from pretty early inception to production and am humbled by your work and dedication to making sure the colors are just right. As someone who bought it based on the renders, thanks for not compromising.

I have incredibly strong convictions about things, and it's very very unlikely they'll change.
I use one keyboard layout (HHKB), I use one of two kinds of caps (GMK/OG Cherry and stock Topre. That's it), and I refuse to produce something I'm not proud of.

They decide to support or not support given the full information provided, IMO. If they support, and then things change and they don't have the chance to back out- that's a different story. But that's not what happened here.

Just to be sure... I'm not advocating that people don't ask. But in the end, there has to be one voice- and that's the designer, IMO. People speak to the designers choices with their money- either supporting it as the designers vision lays out in the final estimation, or not.
As above, if you are asking for comments on the colors, please take pictures that are color correct. X-rite color checker (or similar) in the picture and lighting either outside, preferably on a cloudy day, or using cri 95+ light sources. Then either upload the raw files here from the camera, or use a professional editing tool chain for color correction before flattening the picture to 8bit sRGB. A potato pic from a cellphone is not very good for accurately assessing color nuances, and makes comparing the color of the caps to other items impossible for others. For example if I'd like to color match a paint to the caps, the above method would allow me to do that.

Anyway, knowing how phography works, this is a very reasonable request.
Figured I'd just end the conversation here:I trust your judgement on this and believe the set will look great, just please refrain from using superlatives if you don't mean them.
The colours are good. The pictures convey well enough how the caps will look in the production run.
I'm not gonna spend an entire day just taking pictures and ****ing my way around something I don't really know anything about. The return on time investement is simply not worth it to me.
You're just gonna have to trust me on this one, and that the caps will look as close to the renders as you can get.
Figured I'd just end the conversation here:I trust your judgement on this and believe the set will look great, just please refrain from using superlatives if you don't mean them.
The colours are good. The pictures convey well enough how the caps will look in the production run.

You can't promise complete accuracy without spending a little time figuring out what that means.
Yeah, true. I wonder how that is going to happen if she does not have the tools for comparing the colors in the same environment.Figured I'd just end the conversation here:I trust your judgement on this and believe the set will look great, just please refrain from using superlatives if you don't mean them.

She said the set will be accurate, not the photos of the color samples
Sorry to disappoint, but I honestly didn't expect anyone to be pedantic about me making sure that the exact hex values are in line, instead of having it look how I think it should.Yeah, true.

edit: sorry for the harsh tone on my posts. I was exited to hear her approach/method to the complete color accuracy, as that field is something that I'm interested in, and I'm a little disappointed to hear that the method was just 'eye balling it'.
maybe taking pictures in sunlight along a gray card could be enough
I may have **** eyesight, and have had to wear glasses from age 3 to now, but colours are my ****in specialty.maybe taking pictures in sunlight along a gray card could be enough
She doesn't need to do that, makes no different to her investing money on a colour calibrator, and she already stated she doesn't know any of these stuff/steps. I have a calibrated monitor and going by the photos supplied; she's got a good eye on the colour match from what I can see, the samples are very close to the sheet render.
You can all relax.
No problem. I just thought that there was a fixed target for the colors as some of the renders were marked as color accurate. If you don't mind I can take some color accurate pictures (and post them here) once the sets arrive and then we can assess how accurate the renders were to your executed vision. :thumb:

I just thought she meant that she made the renders based on the colors that she proposed, while theiscamper didn't have that advantage and took it from the images he saw in the renders, rather than what they should be specifically. Go figure. :eek:
Update on GMK Plum:
Plum will no longer be produced by GMK, due to their backlog being exceptionally long. They have, however, recommended me to an alternative manufacturer who I think will exceed all expectations!
TaoHao, the brilliant designers of classics like TaiHao Miami, Sunset, and more, introduce TaiHao Plum. Made in brilliant doubleshot PBT with their specialty anti-biosis coating, I'm positive you're all gonna love it.
Thanks for the support, everyone!

Hey all,You can get rid of the yellow cast easily by just having a piece of white paper in the picture and then instructing lightroom (or similar software) to calibrate ~90% white based on it. Best results would be had in natural light though.
decided to frigg around and try to take better pictures of Plum. I've got some promising results of the purple. The yellow is hard to capture due to my room having tan walls and me having yellow light bulbs, so it either looks too washed out or too pale. I think the pics I posted before do the yellow justice enough.
Focus on literally just the purple, everything else is not accurate.
Lemme know what you all think :)
Without further ado...
my preference is the upper pairs, especially the darker purple.
Anyway , appreciate and support your choice.

The dark purple is so majestic and sacred. Really a nice vibe.

And yet not at all what the renders showed, and so not at all the vision of the creator.
I love the muted purple and it reflects the renders we've been shown from the very beginning.

The renders by thesiscamper are unrealistic, so it's correct that it doesn't match that. His renders are only there to give a rough visual idea what this set looks like laid out on a keyboard. So don't make your comparison to his renders
The renders are listed specifically as "accurate colors" and were there to give buyers an idea of what the set was supposed to look like, according to Jessica. She stated several times that there was no "real" color she was using as a reference, just she knew what she wanted to accomplish and had the renders adjusted to show that.
So, yes, I will use them as a comparison thank you very much =)

Yeah, they're close to accurate but the renders have been enhanced in unrealistic high dynamic lighting which is not real. Again, it's only there as a close visual.

I understand what a render is. =)
But as there is nothing else to compare to, and as that was the vision of the set given the OK by the person who conceptualized the color scheme, I think it's fair to use it as a comparison. I'm not saying it's a 100% perfect match, or that it needs to be, just that the "idea" of the set is very well reflected in the "muted" purple and is not even close to the "vibrant" purple.
Colors look awesome! good job,The group but has already come and gone my friend
any idea when the GB will be and if it will be announced in this thread or in a separate one?

That's what I point at from the start; those fancy renders aren't great to use as a colour match, only a visual guide. The original keyset sheet provided is usually the best reference, not the fancy rendered angles of the set, but fair enough if you want to use thesiscamper's renders as your comparison.
I'm not saying his renders are terrible, they're great visual indicators, but they're not great colour comparisons as you know already, they're just produced to give eye pleasure.
Right, but the thing is Jessica/Brazzers decided to use the renders to match the colors irl, I think.

ur mam
That's ok if she does. At the moment, the results match the keyset sheet that she said she'd compare to and not the fancy renders. They're soft tones going by the photos and matches the keyset sheet from what I see.
Any mid-grey to white will work just as well for setting the color balance. The specific grey 80% tone used in greycards is used to set the exposure as well. While the exposure will affect saturation, without a color calibration target the saturation has to be set by hand anyway. It is also a lot easier to find some white paper with no inherent color (photocopy paper works well) when compared to grey papers and cards which usually have a bit of yellow mixed into them.You can get rid of the yellow cast easily by just having a piece of white paper in the picture and then instructing lightroom (or similar software) to calibrate ~90% white based on it.

Not white, it's grey.
So just chill the **** out and wait for the caps! If you like them, fan-damn-tastic! If you don't, SELL THEM!
But you know what? It would look almost exactly like the image above me, and you STILL wouldn't be able to tell if the image you actually see is correct, because your screen isn't balanced against the picture I would take!
Not everything is about you. If I was talking to you, I would be quoting you. Like I am right now.But you know what?

You master pictures in some other color space than sRGB? If not I don't see a problem here.
My post was in reply to Jessica describing a problematic color cast and me fixing the problem. Where did I go so totally wrong that you start shouting ***** ?
I am confused.
If you don't want your set I'd be glad to buy it :)
PS: I'm serious :-X

The set is gonna look how I want it to
Dude I wish I had 15 different thought processes about this keyset a week.The set is gonna look how I want it to
i mean that's a given
people like to get ****ty when you don't post about your thought process 15 times a week
It's all good the other 1350 people like myself will decide when they show up on our doorstep. I'm sure it will be greatDude I wish I had 15 different thought processes about this keyset a week.The set is gonna look how I want it to
i mean that's a given

As is, it's nothing but "man I really hope it comes out good" lmfao
