GMK - Sky Dolch
« on: Fri, 19 February 2016, 20:17:58 »
Just released on Originative. What do you guys think? I'm tempted to buy a set but the exchange rate for me would mean this set would cost me around $265 which is quite ridiculous.

https://www.originativeco.com/products/sky-dolch?variant=11176278725

I believe these were for dropped on Massdrop around 6 months ago and they just got delivered this week as well.

I think it looks really nice.  Quite a bit better, in fact, than most of the concepts that get made these days.  However, I still prefer the white legends on Dolch.

The blue is too loud against the other colors. Strikes the eye too strongly than any other extravagant colorway.

Sticking to the original cause it's just right. No need to change anything about it IMO.

I like the dark grey and blue combination.  The more I look at this set the more I think it would be perfect if they would just have gone with either dark grey or black lettering on just the letter keycaps.  Hell, somebody slap some regular dolch (whte letter keys) on this set for us and lets see what it looks like then.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Out of curiosity, how does GMK compare to SP? I've got a set of SP Dolch, which has been holding up nicely.

They're both ABS from what  I can see, so the only real difference seems to be aesthetics and the profile?

Im having similar feelings towards this one.

Loving the colors but don't really think it beats classic OG Dolch.
If my hyperfuse would have arrived by now it would definitely be easier to skip this one xD

I think those trays are pretty cool. If I had multiple keysets I'd probably want a few. Luckily I don't have multiple keysets =p

This is true, I have been in contact with GMK as I was thinking of starting a GB for them, but they are more expensive and have mechanical latches (whatever that means).

Don't forget that tray doesn't hold well during shipping - cue the other GMK set, which I can't recall the name of - which caused scratches!

Sheraton told me that GMK had re-engineered the trays for shipping and these ones don't have the issues of those seen in TA

Pics or I don't believe it.

This is true, I have been in contact with GMK as I was thinking of starting a GB for them, but they are more expensive and have mechanical latches (whatever that means).

There are 6 latches or nubs. They hold the top and bottom tray tight together. You can release the latches to open the tray up. I wouldn't say the quality of the plastic is the best, but it's perfect for storing keysets

I ain't buying a tray for $5 lol

I think those trays are pretty cool. If I had multiple keysets I'd probably want a few. Luckily I don't have multiple keysets =p

Takes too long to fiddle about putting keycaps back in a tray.  Much quicker and easier to chuck them in a sandwich bag :thumb:

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

cool.  the trays that came with TA only had 3 nubs.

i haven't used my tray since i got it, but i'm wondering whether the keys will just fly out everywhere when trying to open the tray.  i'll have to try it out sometime.
