[IC] GMK Olivia++

[mrkantz]

Double posting while trying to be edgey, egg on my face

[Lumenoctis]

This is the first thing I wanted to buy on Geekhack and I hope it comes true! Question: Is Olivia++ the same color as the previous ones and the '++' just indicates this is the third round or have they been revised?

++ is a programming short version of olivia = olivia + 1 so it’s incrementing by 1. This will be round 2!

Oh it's 101% coming.
It's the second round.
Same set as before but also more (hence the ++), like this new all-dark kit.

OP (@olivia), this thread currently provides no useful information and is not soliciting feedback on the design of the set (the whole purpose of an IC post).  This is just an ad tease, with puzzles to increase engagement.  Please update the OP with some relevant information and/or engage with the community in response to their feedback for the set.

Like she even gives a damn.  This stupid set is going to sell 1K plus units and it won't matter whatever feedback she takes.

(Like getting rid of van support because she caved to "not supporting Evan" from the other person helping her out....)

Hedgey, no need to be rude mate. Do you actually speak to people like this when you're not behind a keyboard?

This is one of the laziest attempts at an IC I’ve ever seen.  It’s very clear that this is going to be a popular set, but why not actually do the IC when you have renders, info, etc...Instead she’s using this as a marketing or teaser, and a very poor one at that.

Also, she’s removed compatibility that was in R1 because she’s partnered up with someone who is STILL partaking in one of the most dumb boycotts in this hobby.  Why remove an entire group of users from your potential pool of buyers?  It’s asinine how this has lingered, and people need to get a beer together or hug it out or whatever. 

Finally, yeah bro, I’m in sales so I have no problem speaking my mind.  It’s amazing how many people ****foot around each other on the internet and are afraid of telling others the truth.

Bro, how long have you been around? This community is just a designer circle jerk where well known designers are deities that can do no wrong. Fall in line, drone

[Vigrith]

148 comments without a single render. That sounds like it's being marketed alright to me. Marketing is not as one-dimensional as you make it out to be. Then again, what would you know - you're in sales.

The set is obviously incredible popular and people know what round 2 is gonna look (just about) like; has very little to do with marketing per se, it's just what it is.

Will buy 100%

But please don't make this a remix of Olivia, we want the same colors please!

New desk-mats are welcome though.

Thank you

They will be the same colors, and there will be desk mats!

Not that I want to be that guy (who am I kidding here?), but... what will the kit's coverage be? Same as before? Will some omissions be not ommited anymore? Will anything be taken off?

The kits will be very different from the original GB to support the 2 different color modes.

Do you even dare to hope for a NorDEUK kit?

There will not be a NorDEUK kit, only UK ISO.

Thank you for the advisory HoffmanMyster, I updated the OP with more information.

I hope this is going to have the improved legends (like 9009 R3), probably going to buy multiple sets anyway though.

I am using text mods, so there won't be the adjusted icon legends.

Colvrak?

I know you said no before, but, Colemak would be really ****ing nice.

Thank you for the great feedback guys! My good friend JohnWest recently posted something, if you have some time, give it a listen!

Solve fast get gifts? Colevrak?

Please include colevrak. You know this kit has hype behind it. I have faith a colevrak kit would hit MOQ with the hype. Even if it doesn't, the base kits + other kits sold to colevrak users would certainly cover it, right?

ne r3 1.25 enter avail?

also vim kit pls

R5 Bottom row option please <2

Apologies, there will be no Colverak, Colemak, R3 1.25 Enter or R5 kit <2

Should've been ++Olivia 😉😉

I am a manly man and i want this on my keyboard , thank you for your understanding  ) .

Cleaned this thread up.

If it isn't feedback on the set, don't post it.

Let's stop with personal attacks and derailing.

So, now that olivia = R2, running olivia++ again after this round would technically be R3?

[PocketAces]

I’m excited to see what the deskmats look like. I’m wondering if you would give buyers of the sets access to high-res deskmat artwork to also set as a desktop wallpaper. Or, maybe a similar but varied design from the deskmat, just to keep things interesting. I’ve always enjoyed “completing the look” with every set.

Also, hoping for a 1.75u shift.

Really looking forward to the deskmat, hopefully something cute and minimal like the last.

YES Olivia the queen

[killermax]

I've been waiting for this for so looooong. Finally its here!!

[Myk!]

What is the base kit color? Is it dark? The light alphas will be sold as kit?

[Puddsy]

believe white alphas but i'm kind of out of the loop on specifics for this GB as of late

that was correct last i heard, though

[NimbleTortoise]

I hope the default set will be the black kit. Though to be honest, I just want the mods so I can combine it with Kuro Shiro.

[architones]

Just a head's up, but if you plan on mixing ePBT with GMK, ePBT keycaps sit slightly higher (i.e. taller) than GMK keycaps. Hopefully that doesn't bother you too much.

Thanks for letting me know. I've heard people say they mstch so I assumed they'd sit at same height. But it probably wouldn't bother me if it were just alphas vs mods.

[KebinPls]

So excited. That dark alternative is so tempting, but I should probably just go for the OG colorway

[Deadboy]

Holy molly! 

[Callmebob]

Yes! Let's go!

[brln]

Dang, I have been waiting for this to happen

EEEEEEEWWWW.

It should clearly be Olivia+=2.

Yes, yes and yes. Everyone's patience has been rewarded. Can't wait!

I am using text mods, so there won't be the adjusted icon legends.

Just to say in case you haven't already considered- adjusted icons could still be used for arrow keys (I noticed they were old arrow alignment in the jules render). Might look better with the centered aligned text bottom row, either way I'm happy but I just wanted to bring that to your attention 

Set looks great, one of the very select few that I would call "bucket-list" for myself within keyboards as a whole. Unfortunately I couldn't achieve my other grail of camping + novs (r1) this year, but this has more than made up for it! Will be 100% be getting base, dark alphas, and possibly whatever other accent/nov kits are offered... maybe a rama or two as well.... All/almost all of the rest of my keycap budget for the year has been set aside for olivia++ since its announcement, the only other consideration being.. GMK Olive extras! Damn you make beautiful sets haha

Cheers, wishing you the best of luck! (though you probably don't need it heh)

I'd like to add that there are those of us who completely disagree with 9009 R3's unnecesaary legend re-alignment & thus are happy that this annoying change has not been picked up (so far) by other keysets.

And you're definitely not alone in that line of thinking (as much as we may disagree in other stuff).

[needmorewood]

deskhero.ca would be SUPER appreciated if possible.  trying to get all GMK sets through a canadian proxy as a canadian

[valkyr1e]

So Obviously I'm in for the OG set.

Is the design for the deskmat going to be the same as R1? Or will there be a new graphic?

[AidenHero]

Is there a possibility for a Canadian vendor? avoiding the hidden fees is really nice and i think deskhero has been doing a really good job with the sets that have recently ran

[hiddensong]

so soothing....mmmm. An early xmas purchase for mahself!

[spoiledmilktea]

Can't wait!! Alternate color looks dope as well <3

[bunanapeel]

I'm so excited I've been waiting for this since I got into the hobby right after the end of the first GB!  inb4 this GB happens and I still don't have my xeno

[DanBe]

Absolutley beautiful 

[tunadesu]

So when is the useful information coming?

[factoryofidols]

Less than a month from launch and still no kit info. What a pointless IC.

"Hidden fees" What an interesting way for you to call your countries customs, duties and import regulations.

Olivia, can we get a Canadian proxy please? It is just a bit frustrating that we are paying at least $50 more for import duties if we order from NK...and I am sure some Canadian proxies like deskhero would definitely be willing to take it...I beg you please consider this...Thank you TvT

[Puddsy]

the fact that a bunch of no-post accounts are recommending some random canadian proxy is really not doing me any favors in terms of it not being sketchy
