It came today, but I think I am going to keep it in the box until my Winkeyless comes in. I am don't want to taint it by putting in on my QFR Stealth.

Hey look - a GMK tray with all the keycaps in place!

the exchange rate for me would mean this set would cost me around $265 which is quite ridiculous.

Yeah it's pretty painful, poor'ol Canadians suffering the same fate.

And yet I'm still considering it  :'(

Our "Rubles" are pathetic.

...but honestly, It's not that are dollar is so bad its that the American Dollar is scary strong right now.

No, one huge group buy of GMK keycaps shipped in similar trays that almost all broken open and spilled keycaps all over the place, resulting in scratches on many keycaps during transit.  This is supposed to be second version of the tray that eliminates that problem.

Not a huge fan of this set :/ the. Again I am not a fan of dolche. Though I think dolche with another language on it with a different color would look dope.

Does anyone have a chance to put some rgb modifiers on the sky dolchie? I really can't decide if it's a yes or a no no...

Can't really get my hands on a classic dolch set with ISO, so wondering if "sky" in sky dolch would play nice with rgb.:)

I don't think it would look good with RGB, but I think it would look good with CMY[K|W]

It does look amazing with ordinary dolch though, so sky symbol colors instead of the white ones should't really stand out...if someone has a chance to try it, please let me know.  :thumb:

Here is mine (from a potato) - the cyan really pops in person. If someone has a "control" R3 caplocks replacement they would be willing to part with, let me know (I believe the massdrop sets came with it). I'll buy or trade for any sky dolch or regular dolch keys that i'm not using.

I hope I see something like this with a green font color, something among the lines of GMK's AE code, some time in the future. But considering that GMK has pretty high MOQ's and ridiculous prices (for me at least) I don't think it will ever happen.

Wish I saw this earlier

You can hunt the 1.5u blanks from one of the earlier Dolch extras packs, it was probably Originative, or you can buy/use the dark Gateron blanks, would go well

For spacebar: http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-spacebars-pack-of-1/ - you can select one 6u color from here

As a better suggestion, get the blank from here too: http://pimpmykeyboard.com/dsa-1-5-space-pack-of-4/ - funnily GX is out of stock, it's the color of the Dolch dark

DSA is extremely comfortable for spacebar + bottom modifiers, they just sit a bit higher than Cherry's, but you can sand/shorten them

No, they were from the extras of the GMK Cyan, I don't remember how much, but they were probably $4+ ea or sth
