Thank You, Geekhack || [GB] GMK Electric Bluegaloo Mod Set, Escape Pack

[Hanni]

Happy to announce that the set will now include full TKL support (without arrow keys) at the same price listed in the OP

In addition GMK will add a 1x1 key in the same color way for free. You can either choose a specific legend or make this a surprise key.

Figured I would leave this up to you guys whether you would prefer a mystery key or choosing a legend

Just going to get arrow keys added to the main set.

a geekhack key ? 

[jdcarpe]

I think I need to change my order from one of each to three of each now.

[billnye]

a geekhack key ? 

GMK only does custom legends for pad printing and we would have to pay for them to create the new legend so we would probably go with a legend they already have.

I think I need to change my order from one of each to three of each now.

Will do JD

[wlhlm]

Filled in. Wouldn't mind if the arrow keys are included by default.

Just going to get arrow keys added to the main set. I didn't remember that the arrow keys were $8.5

Doesn't make much sense to have people order them when we can get them for much cheaper ). Price of the main set will go up a few dollars but I think it is justifiable.

Awesome! This plus the TA alphas is going to be an amazing combo!

Edit: sorry I didn't mean this to sound like I'm trying to start something; just was wondering

Do you know what was the main motivation in the original design of this typewriter to get a red tab? It looks just out of place there; maybe, even the enter key in red would make more sense for contemporary boards.

It be what it be.  I personally like the red tab or exit, but various different old keyboards had the backspace equivalent, the += key, and/or the tab equivalent key in a contrasting color.  Many of the older typewriters, for lack of a better description, had a super space key that was basically a Tab key next to the spacebar, but it made a set number of spaces when you hit it.

I can't remember if I already joined this or not. If I submit another order and it turns out I already did it out before, will I get charged twice for both orders? Or will it just override my old one?

Sorry for the silly question.

Send Billny a PM to ask him to check if you are already in.

Is there a place where I can get blank 1x electric blue caps (R4) for a winkeyless layout? Not too keen on the Windows logo...

[billnye]

Just got a revised quote from GMK. New price will be $47 and will include full TKL support.

No mockup yet because the engineer who does them is out of the office for the rest of the week. Thanks for your interest

Not that I am aware of sorry.

I wonder if JTKeycaps could color match

My reading comprehension is a bit off, so just wanted to check:

There will be arrow keys offered. The price is 47USD, including arrow keys?

Thanks for all your hard work!

Arrow keys ARE included, billnye said so just a few posts above yours ("Full TKL Support").

[Paranoid]

That's great news!
I don't remember the original price. Does it increase by a lot? I'm fine either way, just checking that there is no need to re-confirm any orders.

Wow the news just keeps getting better and better.   
Bill can you please check to make sure I'm part of the buy. I would hate that I didn't fill in the form properly or something and miss out on this awesome deal  )

Edit: Wow I feel stupid, I didn't see the list on the OP

Ordered.  Good situation. 

[lolpes]

Man my wallet is crying everyday telling me not to buy this, but it's getting really dificult to pay atention to it everytime i look at the renders!   

[Giorgio]

The only thing that kept me from ordering it, was that starting now I will start to count the days until the delivery. But that is nothing, compared to the pain of those who could have ordered, but didn't.
Enjoy your sorrow :-P

Situation, good.

[rowdy]

If you buy it, you will have a very nice set.

If, later on, you have a keycap set that is crying out for blue modifiers - you have some.

Plus if you really need to sell it, it's pretty certain that you will get your money back on the set.

If you don't buy it, you will probably end up looking through classifieds, hoping someone will list a set for sale.

I have the original GMK purple modifiers - they spend most of their life sitting in a box, but they are there if I need them.

[lolpes]

Im still trying to figure out my overall build what would be a good set of caps to go with this?
