Even though I'm a heavy advocate of ANSI usage in ISO territory it makes me super happy to see MD and GMK both supporting and going the extra mile for international - it'll hopefully encourage more people to join in the future knowing that there's a good chance int. makes it despite pulling lesser numbers, that way it may have a better chance at steadily climbing and becoming more relevant.

I don't know how much money it is costing either of the companies to make that happen but if this can continue happening for a few more drops then maybe it'll actually be meaningful in the long run.

Nooo! I didn't think intl would happen, so I backed out.. Thats a shame.. Well, lets hope they do the same for Yuri then!

Maybe gmk is not so moq driven when you make a 20 000 usd order at the same time.

their shipping is bad for my health. almost got cancer tracking my last package

Cant wait for the Plum !!!
there's no drop price for hit 1.5 ?

I think you missed out a zero, 1.6k units at 120 dollars is more like 200000 dollars (a fifth of a million wew that's a lot of doosh)

That's DHL. Although Massdrop could certainly choose a better agent.

Oops! 

Didn't you have some corrections suggested for the international kit ... ?
Did they make their way into the final design?

It seems that all of the suggested changes to the international kit were adopted. Full DE & SWE/FI support in addition to the DK & NO support it already had.

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

Just found this gmk penumbra picture on my facebook but it was removed for unknown reasons


do we expect plum alphas to be similiar or more yellowish ? I think the penumbra turned out great.

Someone on reddit rehost a captured gmk penumbra too because apparently it was taken down as well.  But it looks a bit more white-ish. Maybe because of the lighting ?

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.

[tofgerl]

Whatever looks right to the designer is probably going to be fine with everyone
If not, selling this is probably not going to be superdifficult.

French community is there but the Atlantic propaganda is strong here. I mean people can hardly write French anymore, but still there are French writing lovers out there, we need ISO Fr support Oh dear OP!

Nevermind I saw an answer to my question a few up.

Hey hey everyone, got an email from GMK just yesterday and felt it appropriate to share.



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.

Don't mix up the bags by taking all the caps out at the same time! :p

Yep, this confirmed my suspicion - Joining this group buy was an excellent choice. Colors look gorgeous and extremely accurate to the renders!

[UsualSuspectXXX]

Great choice on the colors. v2 purple looks so much better!

Yes, that is entirely what I meant >_<

[SpareWalrus]

v2 purple and v1 yellow look great together. Super excited!

[shower_king]

thank you for sharing the samples
 i prefer to V1 purple, more unfathomable darker purple is charmingful.
but i could not easily choose V1 , a darker one , between  V2, but creamy one. Both are acceptable for me

[1deeg]

v1 yellow + v2 purple

I think it's going to look great

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?
