[IC] GMK Plum | GB is OVER | New colour samples are in, and they are stunning.

[smithyithy]

I wish there was a simpler way but I guess most buyers are in the US so it makes sense to cater for the majority.

Romevi though goddammit, my heart sank when I read your post   )

[shangrila500]

Any exciting news for us yet?

Should have solid dates with in the week. *wink*

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.

[darkslay3r]

any fixed starting price for plum ?

[jessica]

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.

No. Icon mods don't feel appropriate for this set.

[jessica]

any fixed starting price for plum ?

Not yet. Trying to get that info from MD / GMK.

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.

R4, meaning you should be able to use it no problem for VE.A

[swangful]

Damn this looks really good O.O
The off white is sexy.

[Almost]

Second the off white sexyness. Looks like ye olde sun dried cherry caps, but lovely plumbs instead of cherries.

Would love if we could get pricing info before the 7th, so I can make an informed decision between this or Terminal (or both).

[chuckdee]

Would love if we could get pricing info before the 7th, so I can make an informed decision between this or Terminal (or both).

GMK Carbon on MD was $100 for the same layout.  I know prices have gone up since then, but I wouldn't think that much.

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 sure we will have all this info soon

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!

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$!

Nice work wodan

How does the Massdrop model handle orders coming from Germany or within the EU?

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

Yes it's crazy, but what about this hobby isn't?  ;D

GMK factory is an hour from my place, can you imagine how I feel about this?

It's especially frustrating considering the extra we must pay for the shipping. Why can't we get motivated designers for such buys here in the EU?

Here you go, weird layout users!

You asked, now you receive.

Thanks for adding this kit.

This has the potential to be a classic. I hope it sells well enough for a significant price drop.

Just out of curiosity, how much would it have to sell to get to Carbon levels of discount?

[aurora]

Over 1000 I'm pretty sure.

[pizza_is_a_lie]

I'm SO KEEN on this set however it doesn't offer much flexibility for the right-hand row on a 75%. I know there's not much hope of a blank key for each row but that would be nice, much like other GMK sets rolling around at the moment.

It's MassDrop and when it comes to running any Group Buys for key-sets, always takes time to finally show up on their website.

When this finally goes LIVE then watch all the GMK Zealots jump on board, because never before seen any set with these type of Colours  .

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?

Actually, GMK could offer Colemark as well as SP, but they need much higher MOQ about 150.
The truth, higher MOQ of GMK , is the hindrance to make GMK's Colemak options.
Ofcourse, some new legends of Colemak layout is another hinderance to make that , since GMK has to create new molds for these keycaps, which higher up the cost of Colemak options.

[RominRonin]

Right now if I want Colemak legends I have to either settle for DSA (or other uniform profile) SA, or OEM  profile keycaps (printed by WASD). Are there ANY cherry/DCS/OEM Colemak keys that I am unaware of?

Valentines day it is! Super excited for this set, thanks Brazzers for setting this up!

I'm like 99% sure you'll be able to pick up just the Ergodox / Planck kit on it's own, without need for the main kit. If you're just looking for some mods to pair with another GMK set on a 'Dox, then I think this will be ideal.

[breckstar]

Any way to get the wine/burgundy color mods as a separate pack?
