Would anyone be interested in a full-blank GMK 9009/beige set?
latest renders - now with optional RGB mods!

update 27 sept: this group buy will be run by Brazzers since I don't really have the means to at this time. more details to come once the final quote from gmk arrives.
see below for past updates:

HEY IT'S NOT GONNA BE 3A IT'S GONNA BE 3B I SNAFU'D Y'ALL
update 26 sept: quote request has been submitted to GMK. we'll see.
update 21 sept 2017 - gmk is generating renders for the layout above. how bout dat
Color ideas right now:
-Solid 1 color light pink with a couple of accent keys (space, enter, esc)
(https://i.imgur.com/W2slMK1.png)
GMK 3C, accents 3A. GMK doesn't really have a light pink. I honestly think this color is pretty cool but I am curious if people are into it.
-9009ish:
(https://i.imgur.com/tYVf0Qq.png)
This requires a number of additional "expensive" keys such as ISO enter and extra spaces. Thoughts?
layout considerations: if we run a solid color (not counting accents), what is the least number of keys per row to have as close to universal layout coverage? what should we choose to exclude?
LAYOUT IDEA- Thank you xondat
(https://i.imgur.com/W2slMK1.png)
This would cover moooooost (moist) 60-TKL and a handful of 40% too. The pink caps are the TKL caps and xondat and I were discussing whether this should be a TKL set or a 60/65% set. ISO is also negotiable. Thoughts?

If you want nice thick abs blanks with custom colors, go with jtk for a better price. If you want pbt, there's already a million available.

Who cares. Gmk has nice sharp and fairly consistent legends, as well as the ability to generate new molds quickly and match custom colors well. If you're doing blanks then none of that matters so why pay a premium for something just based on a name. You aren't going to tell a difference between jtk and gmk blanks

i don't think you understand what's going on here
Post by: Giorgio on Tue, 12 September 2017, 15:07:56
I've already considered this idea some months ago, when I asked about the pricing of gmk alphas, and I've seen that blanks are 30% cheaper than a doubleshot set. Considering that in a blank set you need fewer keys, because legends are not a problem anymore, for example g80-1800 layout requires fewer additional keys
a blank set is 30%-40% cheaper, so a complete set that can cover all layouts will cost less than 80 USD.
I think that people could also welcome addons made of 10 keys (for example a copule for each row), in that way you can have replacements, or simply a chance for customization, since a little bit of color can act like a "homing key", helping you to find the correct keycap.
The only problem that I have when touch typing, is with the number row... I'll need some homing bars there :-)
Post by: ItsBarney01 on Tue, 12 September 2017, 18:29:09
Honest suggestion, why not a JTK blank? That should cost much less than GMK and the overall quality is good enough.I would love this to be honest. I can't really spend much more on keyboards this year, but if someone ran this in the future I would probably be in for it.

I don't know what there is to understand. Thick abs is thick abs. Jtk would probably be $30 and no one would give a **** that it's not gmk.
But it's not GMK.

Post by: jihadu on Wed, 13 September 2017, 11:37:56
So you are saying you would pay triple the price just so you can say your blanks are made by GMK. I'm all for spending 120$+ rather than 40$ if that gives me better legend quality and superior compatability.I don't know what there is to understand. Thick abs is thick abs. Jtk would probably be $30 and no one would give a **** that it's not gmk.
But it's not GMK.
But today you can buy a set of EnjoyPBT blanks in cherry profile for 40$ , removing one of the advantages (as EPBT still lacks GMK's level of compatibility). GMK Mondrian is an example of this.A 69£ kit with blanks and only ortholinear support. No wonder it almost didn't meet MOQ.

Disagree. Interest check it to both gauge interest and take community feedback into account to improve your offering. If a ton of people say they want abs blanks, but don't want to pay GMK prices, then that's valuable feedback and perhaps the IC should be adjusted accordingly.

Not JTK, not IMSTO, nor EPBT. I am sure op values your opinion but afaik the IC is on GMK and not the alternatives to GMK?

Oh neat, I haven't seen anything like that before. Well, other than those sanded backlit caps which I don't care for.
Those are pretty cool, though. Would absolutely be in for sets like that.

For those particular caps they would have to be doubleshot since the legend is the same piece of plastic as the legend. For GMK the stem is the same as the "body" of the cap.
good to know. i hadn't really considered it. i suppose i could include that in my quote request, because much like sifo i am really into the idea of blank doubleshots.

What a waste of machine time. Only possible reason, would be that there was no mold for a single unit key cap. The stem was in the inner section; while the top was in the outer one. There was a need for a no-legend key for some application. Result: A summa cum laude on inefficiency, a blank double shot.

not if the rest of their molding was done in this way with the legend molded to the darker underside piece and the skirt doubleshot around it.

There is no other way to make double shots. However, GMK has molds for single unit, one-shot blank key caps, just quote a set. Or, if you insist in double-shot ones, check if they are available and see GMK's rep reaction, she would be confused, with the strange request.

Post by: HotRoderX on Wed, 20 September 2017, 02:49:45
Also I most likely be down for a set of these! There another nice positive about a cheap set of GMK. It gives people a chance to try out the quality and gives people a set of caps they can use as fill ins while there waiting to get the caps they want for the board they just built. Personally I am kinda on the fence about GMK cause of the price 180 for some of the sets I seen its like are they really that amazing do they hold up that well..
As far as colors go would it be possible to do a carbon color way? Carbon Black Alpha with like Orange/red orange modifiers?

Just run it all in WS1. Or in red.WS1 is so wild. there are plenty of attempts at red out there and i'm not personally a big fan of red except for accepts. i feel you on the beige glut but it sells.
There are enough beige sets floating around, I don't think we need any more.
its a huge bummer that there's not a good cherry blossom pink in GMK's colors yet.
Not interested anymore if this isn't for full size keyboards. Can we get a quote from gmk before removing keycaps? Adding many space-bars in the main set isn't probably the greatest of ideas since they cost about 2 USD each.
Also remember that with blank sets the MOQ is 75 units.
yes the additional enters and spaces are to cover 9009 colors, but i may remove some options there. Numpad's a possibility but if i'm cutting anything out at this point it's unlikely i'd add anything back in. plus, plenty of GMK sets out there exist to fill a 104ish layout, but without support for alternate 60/65 so a big goal of this set is to focus on underserved layouts.
The 9009's colors would have better chance to reach MoQ. They match available beige sets.
yeah agreed. not my dream set but i think it'd still look pretty sweet!

Why a cool name? It's a blank set made by GMK, what's wrong with GMK Blank? People care for the colour scheme, not really the name of the set.
While we wait for the price, we keep ourselves occupied.
Since this set will have a light color similar to champagne, I suggest
GMK Blanc de Blancs
" If your high school French hasn’t failed you yet, you may already know that “blanc de blanc” and “blanc de noir” literally translates into “white from white” and “white from black.” Besides (probably) being a Yoko Ono poem, this is just a handy way to indicate the grapes used to make your Champagne."

Meh, I'll need to adapt to the profile, it's like going from cherry to OEM. Seems like an idea with no basis. You won't be able to mix this set with any existing set. Top row is different from usual, and the bottom row different too. You even had to add some keys for 60% compatibility, go figure.
I wonder why these sets always try to reinvent the wheel, losing track of the objective. Wouldn't it be simpler to take the 9009, remove the duplicates, and then ask GMK for a quote, and then working from there? I was the only one who gave you an approximate cost of the set, I don't know if you noticed it. We'll see.

(Attachment Link)
i mean yeah it's all 1u caps, which don't take much QC effort
i still think it's worth running as a full set and waiting for GMK to give quotes that reflect their recently updated (read: increased) pricing structure

but no i wasn't really joking
exact same colors no black dyesubbed on black keycaps sorta look
blank caps that are doubleshotted just cuz I can
I actually really like those - I'm not usually in the market for blank sets but a 'blank' doubleshot done in that way, with the right colour combo could be awesome - I mean imagine something iconic like Hyperfuse done that way :cool:

So it's officially R5 bottom row? Was hoping that a blank set would possess some kind of versatility.
It's a neat idea, but at current state, it's not exactly justifiable to me.
We've been told that this set isn't supposed to be inexpensive or compatible, because " the first objective is GMK BLANK second objective is R0 and R5", this is what the group leader told us. This isn't event compatible with a 100% keyboard :-( too bad. GMK blank would have been nice.

Have you tried Gateron Blanks, they might be more up your alley, maybe they will print the letters on the back for you

Okay, this has gotten a bit out of hand. There's no need to derail the entire thread over such a silly argument. I've cleaned up a few offensive posts, and issued a warning to Giorgio for threadcrapping. Will continue to moderate the thread as needed.
thanks but it's all right Hoff. kinda reminds me of the good old days ;D

Got quote from GMK, will be giving Sth renders by Monday at latest. This set has an MOQ of only 100 since it's blank.
GB will be run on my website DMKeys.com (http://DMKeys.com) Soon™
This set is looking to be very budget friendly. Hope you guys are interested.

Blank MOQ used to be 75. Anyway, if the price is right, I hope that you'll able to get this done.

Well, sort of
GMK's MOQ for blanks used to be 250 (back when their MOQ for customer sets was 500), but Ivan negotiated GMK's MOQ down to 250 so he could run things like the purple mods and such. After that, GMK eventually lowered their MOQ to 150 of their own accord, and then the MOQ for child sets became half that, 75. Full sets take a while to produce, so those are 100.
At least, that's my understanding of it.
If the price is anything like I had for Red Riot, I might have to skip out on this, but we'll see.

Probably you're all used to recognize a blank keycap from the distance of a mile, but can we ask gmk to print something on the back of the key to make it easier to recognize the correct row of keycaps? Trying again.
can just compare with a picture of the profile

We're not doing alt color spacebar kits because you can buy them from Oco.
We might do some additional addons down the road - blank = extensible!

The difference between blank and double shot is about 30%. If there's interest I'll check the data.

As I already said, gmk blanks are about 30% cheaper then doubleshots., and MOQ is smaller too, probably 75. So my idea for the GB leader is to make a minimal 100% set, the one in this thread should be right, and sell it ASAP. Pricing could be lower than 80 USD.
