Your reddit comments aren't reassuring at all regarding PayPal. How about calling them and checking that the minimum amount, which is $15500, is okay and that your account won't be locked/frozen? I want to join this but you don't fill me with confidence.
base color "CP"
text color "CR"
Is that right?
Matt, shine my shoes!
How are we doing concerning MOQ for this set so far? I really hope this set makes it.
Oh. And the nipple on the 5, it sucks.
Without bars, no buyers from reddit.
3 Lock.
Num lock , Caps lock , Scroll lock.
Do not led keycaps?
it's unfortunately....
Is the 1.25u R4 keycap with the "Fn" legends a new mold ?
In for a set!
hope per set will be 80
I ordered 1 set. Thank your GB!!
So any update on payment method and the order number?
Hello, I'm new (to GH and mk's in general) :)
This looks like a great set for my Pok3r at work, thanks for making this GB happen!
I really wanted to do Paypal, but with accounts being frozen, I want to err on the side of caution for payment.
How will the Euro taxes be dealt with if it ships to/from USA?

This was a concern raised by many in the initial days of the GB. PayPal isn't very lenient toward large runs for pre-orders; are you able to front the funds for the orders placed through PayPal since it looks like those funds won't be applicable toward the final payment to GMK?

I submitted an order a couple of days ago but I haven't received any invoice?

The group buy isn't closed yet. He has a schedule posted on the original post.

So let me get this straight for $100 you get the keyset with all of those add on kits and the keycaps are doubleshot ABS GMK keycaps? Am I missing something?Correct. $100 + shipping costs for the set if it gets to 150 orders.

Any chance of Row 1 Delete, End, Pg Dn being added to support 1800, 75%, etc layouts?

The set has the appropriate "+" for the 1800 numpad layout, not including the correct profile Delete, End, and Pg Dn seems like an oversight.

sorry, triple post, **** happens.
GMK @150MOQ is usually 1$ per additional key.
If extra keys are being added, a 1.25u Alt Gr key would be great.
HI, any updates?
I find it odd that this buy chose to support hhkb keys for a super small subset of users. I wonder how many of the 100 people who ordered will use this set (ever) on a hhkb-type layout.
I think having HHKB-layout compatibility is one of the first set of extra keys you add to a set.
Yes! We've hit 100/150 orders. 50 more to make this happen. No keys to be added this time around, though. Sorry guys! If I can get this set made, I'll be doing a more expensive follow up with many added options. This is my first GB and I want to keep it simple so I can be sure to be successful. Once I've successfully done a 'simple' group buy, I'll be doing a more complex one with optional add-ons. Not anything as crazy as Round 5 or anything, but definitely with all the suggestions here plus some nice black on yellow or yellow on black keys.

When you say more add-ons is it still on BoW colors? Or you will run another design?
Really hope seeing GMK planck/preonic mods in the future. And Colemak add-on too.
Any update?

Keycap manifesto: "Key sets without vendor neutral Super key are worthless"
Our beliefs align. I can feel the force is strong with this one. >:D
I gave in to temptation a couple of days ago and put an order in. I need this set! :)

This is probably too far fetched at this point. but how about R4 1¼U diamond mod using the new mold by GMK HADapter?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/tJxER4u.png)
If we put in an order but no longer want to participate should we just pm you or just cancel the invoice when it comes later? Sorry :(

I signed up for this at the beginning. Kinda hope it doesn't it MOQ for a couple of weeks because after all the gbs this month. I probably can't get this hahaSame here. I bet it will drop when I have no money ^-^
we may find that 50 of these 145 participants may have changed their minds on the set and not pay the invoiceExactly this. This has gone on for too long now - something like 2 months?

Ehh, I wouldn't say that this has gone on for too long, I just think that it may have been a mistake to not invoice people when they joined, and then refund them if the group buy didn't reach MOQ. The way it was done instead, I wouldn't be surprised if at least a couple of the people who joined had no intention of ever actually paying.

I understand your woes. I'm doing an official count after work today. Only a week until it closes and I invoice. I'll be posting daily and hopefully the community will come together for this one. Already have vendor buy in. Unofficial count is 145 right now. So that's only 5 sets to tip it, but a few have dropped out. Been in contact with GMK and everything is ready to go on their end.

I'd love to get another set to push MOQ, but unfortunately one is all I can afford at the moment (It's been an embarrassment of GMK riches this month, Carbon, Skeletor and now this!)
Anyway thanks MaNiFex for running the buy and I hope you make MOQ before it ends. Maybe pester your Vendor to pick up a few more?
If you really will make BoW 40% kit with legend (planck) in the future I will waltz in this one for sure.

so close to make it ,good luck
Can't wait! When are you invoicing?
I submitted an order several days ago but never got invoiced. Just submitted another in case it did not go through for some reason.manifex hasn't started invoicing yet
Can't you get in touch with PayPal before hand and make sure this is supported by your account? My account had a receiving limit for funds that was removed when I validated my bank account. You should also invoice GB participation as a service rather than a product. This is supposed to help explain to PayPal why there is no tracking number yet.
I have to say I am rather unwilling to join a newbie GB with no PayPal buyer protection. As much as PayPal sucks, they have big benefits from a buyer point of view ( for a price... )
You already mentioned that funding is very tight on this GB and you don't have the ability to advance any funds personally. This doesn't give me the confidence required to use a payment method I don't have faith in.

FWIW, you still have buyer protection from your credit card issuer. If something wrong happens with the group buy, you simply call your issuer and file a claim. I don't think Paypal buyers protection is that good anyway. As a buyer, I've seen they sided with merchants failing to deliver the service I'm paying for. And as a merchant, I've seen they sided with abusive 'customers'. Paypal does make the whole thing easier though.

Alright, that's two. Let's keep this conversation going. I want BBST to be successful, transparent, and make everyone happy. If not, I don't get a set either!
When to charge me?
And I want to add one, can I?
like i said, i have faith in manifex to deliver on this, but paypal is another issue. it may be in all of our best interest to at least consider other payment alternatives if paypal cant guarantee their services. still hoping to see this set get made!
@Manifex
My concern with this GB is that the price maybe is set too low for a GMK GB barely reaching MOQ, and I fear Manifex takes too much personal risk running this GB.
Got my invoice and paid! Woot woot
PAID!
Not sure if I submitted an address on the form (some other GBs do that) or you are going to use the Paypal one. If I did submit one, please change it to the one on Paypal. If you need a PM, just let me know :thumb: :thumb:

Hi, sorry didn't realize this actually happened. I have to drop out. Sorry :(

I'm at work right now, but will be working on confirming and posting who's paid over lunch and after dinner tonight. We are more than halfway through payments, so thank you all who have paid so promptly. I'm a single father of two daughters, so I also thank those of you have been patient with me with my responses.
I am in communication with Christopher at GMK regularly, and he's waiting on a final number. 165 people signed up, but due to all the cancellations, I may not be able to afford to have all 165 sets made. We may have only 150 made, which means this will be quite a special set for all those that get them!
Thanks all for your support, it's exciting to be running a group buy and I can't wait to send these sets out to you all! Once all invoices are paid, I will be doing the drawing for the NovaTouch.
Thanks! :thumb:
Thank you for your hard work! I can't believe people think this is an IC!
I've had multiple people cancel their invoices and ask to back out of the group buy. Please don't do this. You've committed to purchasing a set and by backing out you are putting the whole group buy in jeopardy and are putting my personal finances at risk in order to complete the group buy. Backing out at the last minute is not OK.
Please don't sign up for a bunch of group buys and then back out of one's that you've signed up for. It's really bad form and is not fair to the rest of the group buy or the organizer.
Thank You.
Although I agree with you Manifex, this group buy has been open for a lot longer than usual and this means peoples finances can change wildly in that time. If this was open for a month max, then I doubt this would've been an issue. If I can still afford it before you submit the order, then I'd love to however **** happens.
Never put your personal finances at risk in a group buy - I've learnt this the hard way and it hasn't been pleasant.

please. if you place an order, be prepared to pay for the order. "**** happens" shouldnt be an acceptable reason to back out when every order is important to reach MOQ. sorry, but that's really gonna suck for the majority if this set can't be made because a few people follow this line of reasoning. you should know this, you just ran a group buy
But if the group buy depends on a few people is that really a good group buy model? No, it isn't. My first group buy dropped from 42 to 24, but I was still able to do it. If the group buy was open for two weeks and the leader immediately closed it when the exact amount was met then there is still bound to be a couple that drop out - this effect worsens the longer a group buy goes on.Although I agree with you Manifex, this group buy has been open for a lot longer than usual and this means peoples finances can change wildly in that time.

Regardless I think this set will be fine.
It's not a great time of the month for me, otherwise I would've offered to chip in an additional set. How are we looking for numbers? Can we still make MOQ?
I canceled the invoice because the shipments rates is wrong. I'm not in US)))) Doubled via PM
Hey MaNiFeX, you invoiced me for domestic shipping but I'm overseas and will need international. Send me a new invoice? I'm #0043.
Thaaanks!

I paid!!
Thank your GB!!
Paid. Really hope this works out.
If the 15th (my next payday) rolls around I can cover for a second set if that helps any.
Thanks for running this and dealing with all of it.
is our GB# supposed to match our paypal invoice number?
Hopefully paid, PayPal is being a bit slow for me for some reason. May you please confirm that I have paid, as well as checking that it didn't go through twice. Thanks!
Are there any drop out spots available?
Great, thanks.Hopefully paid, PayPal is being a bit slow for me for some reason. May you please confirm that I have paid, as well as checking that it didn't go through twice. Thanks!

Hi All. With a heavy heart and tears in my eyes, I'm here to tell you that my chocolate labrador, Toby, needs to be put down tomorrow. He's 12.5 years old and had an amazing life. It's time... and I'm away on a work trip, which makes my situation even more difficult for me, as I can't be there with him as he passes.
I FaceTime'd with my daughters and dog and just lost it. I'm going to need to take the next day or two for myself. I will continue to process the invoices I've gotten, I just will need some time to grieve. Please be respectful of that as I try to juggle this GB, my work trip, and my loss.
I've gotten a few more payments and requests to join the group buy. I'll be trying to process everything tonight or tomorrow and I'll get you a final count. GMK will be billing me the initial payment soon.
RIP Toby, you were the best dog ever.
Thank you for your understanding,

My oldest Beagle is approaching that point, I am afraid; last year, she underwent an emergency surgery and she is suffering some side effects of it, I am sorry for your lost, I meant it.
OK! Everyone is invoiced! 36 people are left to pay. I need another $3000 to make a complete payment to GMK. It is very important for all members to pay so that I may make payment to GMK in a timely manner. I'll be sending out reminders shortly.
There is one slot open if anyone is interested.
paid confirm.
trusty periodically posting update please.
Shipping start, please tell me tracking number.
Have a nice day, thanks.!

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate the support.

Just got invoiced from GMK. I'm $2.5K short due to 31 people that haven't paid. For the 90+ people who have, thank you. For those who haven't, your lack of prompt payment may jeopardize this group buy.
Please, please pay your invoices. I'll be sending out reminders again tomorrow.
Thank You,

this is what i'm talking about. bummer to hear so many people are flaking out on this.
Jumped in on this. Was on the fence, but seeing it in trouble gave me an excuse to "help". You know, for purely altruistic reasons.
I've paid for my set - hope all the stragglers do so as well.

Count me in with HaberdasheryHRG to pay for one extra set if needed, MaNiFeX.
Really glad to hear we can go ahead with the payment. Thank you Manifex :)
• Join and pay before payment is due to GMK: GB price
• After payment is due to GMK, but before caps are delivered to you: GB price +10%
• After you've received the caps: GB price +20%
After all, you're putting your money on the line to ensure GB success by securing MOQ. This way all on-the-fencers get an incitament to join as quickly as possible, so you risk as little money as possible.

I'm going to put that up on the main page. I'll be paying GMK at the end of the week or early next week (waiting for a few more payees before doing the last transfer from Paypal). After I wire the moola to GMK, the cost to join the group buy will jump 10%, then 20% after I receive them.

Well, I hope it doesn't come to too much. If anything, I'll have to foot shipping. I'm hoping that this week I'll be able to fill all the spots and not have that be an issue, but if it's putting some money on the line to save a GB and not have to refund 100s of people their money, it's worth it to me.

Thank you!!! Looks like things are going well. Will definitely make payment by Friday, if not Wednesday, if people join up at this rate. Just heard GMK Classic Beige didn't meet MOQ. :(

Thanks. Put me down for a tentative 2nd set if you haven't met all the slots by the time you have to make payment to GMK. I should have some spare by then (21st August). :)

Right?
I had the GB period open for a month, and was really close to filling so I opened it up for another month (that was a mistake). Then we had 167 sets spoken for. I invoiced at the end of the buy period (two months instead of one at that point), then we had about 125 sets paid within the week... the rest fell off the train for whatever reason. It's fine, I'm just glad I'll be wiring this money to Germany instead of refunding it.
Next GB I do, I will most likely only have a one month IC then another one week buy period. Seems to be most successful.

I invoiced at the end of the buy period (two months instead of one at that point), then we had about 125 sets paid within the week... the rest fell off the train for whatever reason. It's fine, I'm just glad I'll be wiring this money to Germany instead of refunding it.
Next GB I do, I will most likely only have a one month IC then another one week buy period. Seems to be most successful.
One week seems a bit short :/ Maybe 10 days to 2 weeks is better? (Entirely selfish reasons, I occasionally travel for work and may not have reliable internets, might miss potentially awesome sets :)))

3rd Party Adjudication:I think Art of Payce raises a fair point. Do I need to go and make some popcorn or will this be sorted in the right manner? :rolleyes:
fknraiden has graciously volunteered to be my adjudicator in the case I become unresponsive. We have known each other, personally, for over a year and run a club that hosts workshops regularly. He also knows where I live, so... you'll get your set!
Hello everyone, I'm not a GB participant, but I'd like to give notice to those who are.
fknraiden (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=11713), the arbiter for this group buy, appears to have gone MIA recently as he has not responded to paid buyers in the Classifieds for over a week. (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=58011.msg2241231#msg2241231)
I'm sorry to call someone out like this and I would much rather be wrong and corrected than right and regretful. However, an explanation or apology would be fair and reassuring to the community because this isn't just about his listing or this group buy---but all transactions on Geekhack. In light of recent history concerning Ivan (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71995.0), the $14,000+ currently being held, and the higher risks associated with member-organized group buys in general, it's more important than ever to be as honest and transparent about their management as possible.
This post represents my escalation to the community.

This isn't the place for this. I contacted Raiden yesterday for you, which I didn't see appropriate, but did so as a favor. I don't appreciate you airing your grievances in this GB forum. You are not a part of this group buy and your interactions with Raiden have nothing to do with my buy.

I'm not 'holding' any money. Payment has been sent to GMK. Please don't make assumptions! There hasn't been any need for arbitration and I don't see a need for it in the future. He's a backup contact for me in case I go AWOL, which I haven't...

I don't appreciate you using my group buy sub, especially since it's off-topic, to air your personal grievances with someone. Please do this elsewhere. I'm sure you'll get your rings. Contact the classified mods if you need help with a sale. Please refrain from using this thread for this issue in the future.
Thank You,

. If you weren't prepared to deliver that reassurance, then again, you shouldn't have offered it.
Lastly, airing a critique of a public group buy is fair game as far as I'm concerned. You're not the only one trying to make it work and for better or for worse (I believe better), I'm always in favor of more consumer oversight.
Thanks Manifex.

Fair enough. I still stand by fknRaiden as an adjudicator, but if his behavior continues, I will have to find another, if only for the GB members' assurance that I can be contacted by a known 3rd party. I know plenty other people in the community in Portland that would be happy to stand up in his stead, but, at this point, I see no reason why. I don't know the details of his interactions in Classifieds, but he's always been good for his word and it's part of the reason I chose him to be my contact if I go dark.
For what it's worth, it's summertime here in Portland, and his work gets very busy this time of year. It's only sunny in Portland 3 months of the year, we enjoy it, maybe he is out camping? He could be on vacation? Maybe he's balls deep in some hottie behind a bar? He could be held up by something that's more important than his keyboard hobby? I don't know at this point. I saw him two weeks ago, and I'll be in touch with him again, just to make sure he's OK, at least.
I'd also like to mention that one of the reasons I'm doing this group buy is because I got burned to the tune of $300 on Ivan's group buy and I wanted to put some good faith back into the 'community led group buy' system. As soon as I get confirmation that my wire was received by GMK, I'll be posting proof, as I was planning to from the beginning.
Please remember, we all have lives outside of this hobby and there's no reason to by hyper vigilant about someone's whereabouts if they are gone from the forums for a couple days/week. It's my suggestion that you be patient with Raiden. He's around, and if he continues to not respond, I'll be more worried about his well being than anything. I'll let you know when I hear from him, OK?

MaNiFeX, I only came to give notice. I don't have any personal grievances against fknraiden. In fact, I have zero interaction with the guy; no open transactions, no PM history, nothing. I've stated up front that I'm not involved in the GB; I did that to make it clear that I have no material stake in the outcome. Therefore, I can observe and comment more objectively than those directly involved. I'm just telling you what I'm seeing, from the perspective of a conscientious bystander. I understand if you refuse to engage me publicly here, but allow me to say this:
If adjutication were really as inconsequential as you imply then I daresay no adjutication should have been offered in the first place. When it comes to handling other people's money, you cannot be too careful about who you associate with, especially when there are no background checks beyond looking at tenure. If I were a GB member, I would want a capable adjuticator as diligent and available as the lead organizer. Unfortunately, the more outstanding your service is, the more sharply it contrasts with fknraiden's sudden absence as the days go by.
On a similar note, timestamping and announcing the wire transfer is good practice, but until the GB is completely over, every member deserves continued reassurance about the terms you put forth when this all started. No matter how unlikely you think arbitration may be, it's a form of insurance to buyers that you effectively promised. People aren't paying $100 for just the keycaps; they paid for your service and the arbitration too. If you weren't prepared to deliver that reassurance, then again, you shouldn't have offered it.
Lastly, airing a critique of a public group buy is fair game as far as I'm concerned. You're not the only one trying to make it work and for better or for worse (I believe better), I'm always in favor of more consumer oversight.
As a participant of this GB, I just want to say Thank you MaNiFeX for bringing this set to us and for all those extra effort in this so called "hobby." Unlike many of us lurking in this forum or reddit, MaNiFeX stepped up to bring something to the community and that does not go unnoticed. It is also his effort to bring the set come alive that I joined when there were open spots. From what I can tell, you have been a fantastic GB leader/organizer so thank you!
Thanks for your patience with me everyone---especially MaNiFeX. No harm intended, really and truly. All the best.
Now if he takes someone's money and disappear for a month or two, then there may be cause for concern.

Thanks, that means a lot to me. I've been doing my best. It was a much bigger task than anticipated! :D
I am also impressed by your persistence in bringing this keyset to life, MaNiFeX. You could have thrown the towel when reaching MOQ took a long time, then again when a chunk of participants just didn't pay up, now there's the issue with the conversion rate, and still I am confident I will recieve my set. Your updates are always frequent and reassuring.Thank you for your kind words and confidence in me, r5d! I really appreciate all the community support. I've always done my best to live up to/exceed expectations and conduct business in a fair manner. Any other way would reflect poorly on me!
Trust is of course involved in every GB.
So glad this worked out. I was one who jumped in late, so it worked out for me very nicely.

More like this ;D :
Contrary to what many fans believed after the prequel trilogy, stormtroopers are not clone troopers. The clone soldiers that were created on Kamino aged more quickly than other humans and died prematurely, and so, the clone troopers had been replaced by Imperial stormtroopers, who were recruited and trained at Imperial Academies.
The clone troopers were in Revenge of the Sith and executed their primary mission, Order 66, but not long after, they began to be replaced. The television show Star Wars: Rebels confirms that the clone troopers were phased out before A New Hope. Many stormtroopers receive training for their role from the time that they were children.

It's OK. I didn't let go of all of them! I'm just playing it safe and want to make sure I'm not in a personal financial bind when the time comes around to ship. Since the sets are arriving a month before Christmas, I want to make sure I can ship them all to GB members and provide my daughters/mom a nice holiday at the same time!
Thanks for your concern, though. It's my own lack of knowledge of the GB process that led to this. I'm glad it's so minimal, and I planned in some wiggle room. Since I never planned to make any money on this and wanted to keep sets below $100, I didn't feel comfortable jacking the price up. Looking forward to getting these shipped out! :thumb:

It's no biggie, I needed to get rid of some stuff anyways. Yeah, GMK is doing sorting for me, trays were still extra, and from what I've seen, they don't ship that well. I will be shipping double-bagged in a box with additional packing material as needed. No update from GMK, but we should be going into production shortly.
Thanks!
Since I got into this GB, I have fallen in love with the Leopold FC660 line, and it's wonderful layout that also necessitates two 2.25 Shift keys instead of one. Are there going to be any "extras" of anything, and if so, could I get one? I'm guessing no, but I feel I have to ask.

Thanks for your participation! I really appreciate it and remember you requesting the key . I'll see what I can do about getting an extra key from GMK. My next buy is going to be for 65%ers and less, so I will be sure to include that key for FC660M users.

Would GMK dark gray keys with black legends work? Thinking of limiting it to 60%ish layout to keep it cheap. I want to do a set specifically for small-form factor boards, essentially everything but F-row and Numpad - 40%s, 60%s, FC660M/VA68M, etc. Hoping to keep the weirdos happy and support ortho, split shift, and HHKB, too.

I want to forfeit my position in this groupbuy as I'm kind of tight on money and no longer feel that this set has a place in my collection. I want to do the right thing by finding someone to take my place rather than pulling out of the buy, taking my money and running off.
If anyone is still interested in this set, they can take the sets I ordered. I ordered 2 sets so there's 2 sets available for purchase.
I understand how this would be an inconvenience for you MaNiFeX, but I wasn't expecting a refund until the 2 open spots were paid for. That way, you aren't at any kind of risk financially. I'm sorry for causing any kind of frustration you might have but it's a minor inconvenience at most.
@finalarcadia & @Zeneriath please get in touch with MaNiFeX with your shipping and PayPal details. He'll invoice you for your purchase. I hope you guys like your caps when they come in!
@MaNiFeX again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for going out of your way to accommodate my request. Should I participate in your future buys, I will ensure to fully commit financially to avoid this kind of issue.
Update: I reached out to Michaela at GMK to confirm the production schedule of the set. I'll be updating as soon as I hear from her.

Not a participant, but for orders that go to germany $25 is just enough to trigger customs (and the delay that they cause). Everything I ever ordered that was declared as $20 went through without any problem though. There are probably countries where this is limit even lower I guess.

$20 sounds fine, but I am not interested in committing export shipping fraud. Not sure if I can go much lower than that regarding value.

Just an anectdote, I was a participant in keyclack's recent PS2AVRGB keyboard kits, and asked jchan to mark the parcel as $20.50 value (I am UK-based). Due to the currency deterioration post-Brexit, even that amount is too high and it triggers the customs tax threshold. I ended up having to pay £13 on a package that was marked $20.5 (£17). I would prefer trying to avoid this if at all possible.
Interesting. This is where running a group but really exposes some of the international commerce issues. Why do you all pay such a high tax on something sent to you? The value of this product is around $100USD. Would you have to pay approx. another $100 to get it? That seems absurd.
Kind sir will we get the tracking number once you ship the package? I actually leave you my US proxy address. So I need to inform them the tracking number then they can get ready to receive the items.
whaaat. airs gets his in the first round? he'll have it sold before the rest of us get to see our sets :p
hah. well, when you throw a set on your own board, i would love to see what it looks like with backlight. i'm interested to see how much bleed there is on these white caps

My humble guess is none, unless you have the key depressed. At least that's what I experienced with Hyperfuse. If I use my phone flashlight and put a cap on it it only shines through the legends and not the white part.

I used diffused green instead of normal green LEDs on this build, so they are not as bright as some LEDs. Saw a small amount of shine through on the F/J caps because they are scooped and thinner.
Wanted this to look light-saberish.

Thanks guys! Got 15 more packages (Domestic) packaged, going to do some international over the weekend as well. Question for international shipments: the post office told me they only do by weight, not size. I've shipped to Japan, will be shipping to Europe and Asia next. So let's see how pricing works out there. I might have to change my packaging. If international shipping prices exceed what you paid, I may ask for a tip to help make up the difference. Until then...If you need some additional, shot an invoice to me. ;)Show Image(https://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/51ce6099e4b0d911b4489b79/51ce61c4e4b0d911b44a0072/1322161722267/1000w/hayfordthanksgiving2010.jpeg)

Wow. Great shots! I hope you like your set!
Yeah, it is a nice set but I am trying to cut down my collection. Sold it for cost + shipping.
When will shipping begin?Shipping has already begun, look at the first page

yeah, you did let it go for a great price. not trying to accuse you of just flipping it, sorry! i've just seen a lot of your GMK on the market early
Manifex, I think I love you. This is exactly what I need in a keyset. You should do a GB for imperial modifiers :p
Got my goods today. I should build that TX boards that used living under my bed and put these on.
Thank you!
Seeing a lot of people getting their sets that aren't marked as Shipped on the list so I assume it's not up to date (which is no big deal). MaNiFeX, any update on how far down the list you are for shipping?

I've got a busy month ahead of me. My daughter's birthday, my mom is visiting for Christmas, and I've got the kids for Christmas. I'll do my best to update the list. I'm catching up with International orders, but I'll update the list ASAP. Sorry, guys, I underestimated the effort it would take to ship these out. I'm doing my best.
Set received! Thanks for all your work MaNi. Temporarily have the set on my Filco MJ2 at work for a "white Christmas" board, but this set will eventually end up on a different board after the holidays. I was previously typing on GMK Cyan, but Stormtrooper feels so much better. Don't know what the difference is exactly, but I am thoroughly satisfied with everything! :thumb:

Pics are looking great... can't wait to get my set! Very impressive GB execution here, MaNiFeX!!
Got my set in from 1upkeyboards and it looks amazing! Will upload some pics tomorrow. Just need to get my gmk white on black icon mod pack to arrive, and finish my custom cable and i'll be done with my stormtrooper board!

Glad you like it! What would you call the white? White, bone, off-white?

Definitely white, as white as you could get i think. Doesn't seem to have any creamish color to it at all which im happy about. I have a high-gloss white desk and it matches that perfectly (except its not shiny obviously). Someone mentioned some backlight bleed through on the F and J since theyre scooped but I think that might vary from person to person. I have no bleed through on my F, and very minimal bleedthrough on the J (i hate bleed through and its good for me and my rgb is on red and the highest brightness for the pok3r.)
Can't wait the hype is real!! :D

Wait until you feel the texture of a brand new GMK set. OMG, much nicer than my Dolch set was for some reason.

I concur, my recently received GMK Carbon feels completely different to the GMK Dolch set I own, even though they are both pretty much brand new. It seems GMK has tweaked their moulds recently or something, the caps have a much 'grippier' texture for lack of a better word.

Hi All,
I just sent out another group of packages, most international. The international shipping is costing more than I anticipated. I set a price and stand by it, so I'm going to go ahead and ship everyone's, but I'm following up with a request to help pay the difference, if possible.
I should have charged $25 for international shipping instead of $15 because I'm sending it boxed overseas. I hope this isn't an issue for anyone.
Thank You,
MaNiFeX

When I saw this http://1upkeyboards.com/product_info.php?products_id=349 I assumed that it really can be purchased - yet did not receive any reply to my email/PMs. Am I correct to understand that everyone is busy processing the group buy backlog of orders? So anyone buying from the site will have to pay extra to receive it after everyone else - way after Christmas? Maybe it's fair, but worth clarifying on the store page - to avoid misleading people...
They are ready to ship though, I bought one last Thursday night, shipped Friday, and had it Monday
MaNiFeX is the organizer of this group buy and is shipping all the group buy orders by himself. 1upkeyboards is a different entity that bought 10 or so sets, already received them, and is now selling/shipping their sets. The updates you see above from MaNiFeX about shipping times has nothing to do with them.

The price is fine, I will wait for a reply then. Just assumed there is a lot of orders to go out hence no reply to my order email - not even an automatic acknowledgement response (other shops reply within few hours). Thanks.

I'm in Canada, not overseas, but if it's going to cost more to ship here, I'm happy to pay the extra.

Makes sense, thanks.
That is correct. skiwithpete ordered sets early (and helped get the group buy going!) and got his in the first round of shipping. Since he runs a store, he bought at group buy prices and sold to others with after-market prices.

I managed to secure the last remaining one :). So my whiny spamming paid off!
Despite shipping 150 sets being a bit stressful, every time I ship out, I feel that much better.

Damn MaNiFeX, you were pretty NICE this year...
Thank you all.
I've received some amazing messages of support and I can't thank the community enough. I've put all my keyboard stuff on hold for this project and am really glad you all appreciate the work I'm doing. I don't mean to get too personal here, but the past 5/6 years have been a big struggle for me, in general. Please don't see this as some sort of plea for anything; I just want to give you some context for what brought me to the community and do the group buy.
My life was good. Despite my parents divorcing at 16, I made it into and graduated from a competitive college (Macalester) and left with a fiancée. I moved across the country to Portland, got married at 22, bought my first house at 24, had kids at 25 and 28. Things were going well until my kid's mom decided being married to me wasn't what she wanted anymore. I did my best to save the marriage, but it didn't work out. I went through a divorce 5 years ago (I'm 36 now) and was asked to leave my home on Christmas while celebrating with my wife and girls. We were separated for six months and I thought my ex was moving in to the home to work on our relationship, but she just wanted the house, apparently. That's life, though. I didn't want to be a guest in my own home, so I left, went through mental breakdown, and almost lost my job on top of it all.
It destroyed me, both emotionally and financially. I sold my home at a big loss - lost all my equity, went through a year-long divorce, lived in a 750sq ft. apartment for a year (with kids), supported my kids financially, and had to rebuild my life. I'm still in debt and living month-to-month and renting a place, but I'm paying my debts down, doubled my income in 3 years, have an awesome girlfriend, get my kids 1/3rd the time, gave up smoking weed recently (like last week!), and am continuing to make progress on my life. That doesn't make this time of year any easier on me, though, as you can imagine...
Finding the community on /r/mechanicalkeyboards and geek hack gave me something to enjoy again. The hobby is a really cool one and has gotten me interested in something healthy and not destructive. After getting burned by to the tune of $250 last year on Ivan's buy, this group buy was my way of trying to give back to the community and restore faith in the group buy process. That's why I set the prices so low and did my best to see this come to fruition.
I can't thank everyone enough. Despite shipping 150 sets being a bit stressful, every time I ship out, I feel that much better. I can't wait to feel the accomplishment of finishing this group buy. Thank you all for participating and giving me something to feel good about. It means the world to me. I'll keep shipping and posting. Let's finish off 2016 on the positive, OK?
Thanks again for all your support. You all rock! :thumb: :-* :thumb:

As a Star Wars guy first and foremost, I was so excited when I heard about this set. I've been slowly collecting appropriate artisans for a while, and seeing a Star Wars themed key set sent me into a tizzy :D
Thanks for making it happen! All your hard work is going to pay off when you ship that last package. May the force be with you!
Damn MaNiFeX, you were pretty NICE this year...

Rockin this set at work... sort of a "white Christmas" theme with some red and green artisans. Can't say it enough: thanks for your efforts and especially your communication throughout the whole process. Looking forward to the 2017 GB you organize :D :thumb:

You guys are awesome. It's going to be a snow day here in Portland, so I will probably have some time to pack up another round for shipping.
Per another GB: :)) Haha haha... ha. We'll see. This is a lot of work and I'm not sure I'm up for a second round. I have a design in mind though. Little preview of what I'm thinking:
"GMK Dark68" - 68% and less. Dark grey mods, light grey alphas, black legends. Supports 68% and less (no F-Row or numpad but has nav cluster), including: ortho, split space, win keyless/HHKB. Trying to keep my sets around or under $100, still. Might have to team up with originative/massdrop/1up/keyclack/etc. for shipping. What do you think?

You killed it, Mathew. You had little to no mark up on these sets and have put so much time and effort in to this. The least we can do is chip in a little to help the cause :)
You are an incredible dude MaNiFeX. I've been with GH for quite a while, read a ton of nasty ass sh!t. The work you see through in all this, to get something done, to give it your best, thats amazing. Any lesser man would have done 4uckd this up. Keep doin you man, you make your girls and our community proud. We'll be seeing you around next year I'm sure. Happy holidays to you and your family. Peace

Definitely depends on the shades of grey. Also, if the alphas were dark enough, we could mix it with Stormtrooper and recreate the Commodore PC-10. :D

That's exactly what I was going for, but I want the mods to be Dolch Dark with black legends instead of white. OK, got all my christmas shopping done (WHAAAAAT?!). My girlfriend must be a good influence on me. Going to pack up some more tonight and ship out tomorrow.
If anyone had any issues with shipment, please let me know, I want to make sure my processing is solid.
Also, just to join in the chorus, I think you've been doing an exemplar job with this GB in terms of overall communication, and you have my total support for future GBs.
Thanks guys. Got my Christmas shopping done. Hope to get a good batch out Monday. Sorry I didn't make it before Rogue One for you all!

I would honestly not mind if you didn't spend time shipping it over the holiday season and spend time with your family and resume in January instead. :)

OK, my kids go to their mom's on the 26th and my mom leaves the 28th. I'll start packing and shipping after that. I ended up getting some extra vacation time this year, so I might take a day or two off after that to just finish everything off!
Thanks for understanding, I really wanted to get these out to you before the new year, but work, life, family, etc. can get in the way of our hobby. Thank you for understanding!!!
Peace and Love to All!

I will as I ship. I'm going to be shipping more out soon. Sorry for the delay, my daughters started their ski season and I'm just getting back to the project. Thank you all for your patience, I promise you will get your caps sooner than later! Hoping to finish this up in the next few weeks/month.

Despite some of my personal struggles in the past, I'm really looking forward to spending my life with her. Thank you all for supporting me.

any news on the shipping status?
Yes, packing more today. Shipping either today or Monday. Portland was slammed with a snow storm and I've been stuck at home since Tuesday. Will be back on track shortly. I'm going to try and grab some more shipping supplies tomorrow and do the majority of the packing this weekend, as I'll most likely be stuck at home for a couple days.
Some good news, I've got the shipping process down (PayPal pre-paid shipping labels) and will be adding the international packages to PayPal shipping, which should cut down the time to ship internationally significantly. As usual, I'll update the shipping list on the front page and will post when I've shipped. You will also get a notification via Paypal of your tracking number.
Please note, I've also had a key replacement to deal with and GMK has been great. Apologies to those still waiting, I'll get to you soon. I hope to have this concluded so that I can move on with my mech life (I've made a pact not to purchase or trade/sell anything until I'm done shipping this GB).
I'll update you all Monday with how much I've shipped.
Thank You,
MaNiFeX/Matthew
PS - Training my GF to help me pack. I'm hoping to get them all packed, then ship out, rather than pack, ship, pack, ship.
any news on the shipping status?
And/ or the engagement status? :thumb:
I've been snowed in for the past few days and I need to go pick up the ring. Still trying to figure out when/where to do it? I want it to be 'romantic.' And a surprise... Hmmmm.
Just a heads up. You won't be able to print my label via PayPal as I bought the spot off someone else and didn't pay you direct. I've sent you a PM to confirm delivery address for my order to make sure it's correct.
Thanks again for the hard work as well. The caps look great and I can't wait to get them!
Please dont forget to (under)value the packages, especially the ones shipping to europe. thanks man :-)
Not too bad considering this is a one-man operation.

Is there any extras?

Woot! You will either be heading out tomorrow or early next week depending on my home life/schedule. Got the kiddos this week, so it's a bit up in the air. Since you are abroad, it might take up to two weeks to get there First Class. Please let me know when you get them!

Can't wait to see these in person. Hope they are here in time for my Mech27. Need some glory shots. :thumb:
I just wanted to thank you Manifex for running such a great and smooth GB. Out of all GBs I've participated, he's been the most responsive and resolved my concerns immediately. Thanks again!!!

Just received my set. Everything looks great except two keys...
YAS, got me some tracking! Thanks again for running such a smooth GB.
Thank you for the reply. It is definitely not your fault!Just received my set. Everything looks great except two keys...
Bummer. I'm sorry. I've had one other report of scratched keys. I believe this happened when shipped from Germany to me, as I've done a decent job of packing them myself. I'll PM you my e-mail address and forward it onto GMK. They have been responsive to these issues.
Thanks,

Unfortunately, not at the moment. This was a really tight group buy and I was unable to secure multiple sets for replacement, financially. I submitted a support request to GMK for you and I hope that they are able to fulfill the support ticket quickly.
Thank you for understanding. I'll make sure to push this through.
delivery problem, send pm check please.
Shipping some more international packages after work today. Can anyone confirm they received an international package using pre-paid postage and customs forms? Thanks!
Shipping some more international packages after work today. Can anyone confirm they received an international package using pre-paid postage and customs forms? Thanks!
OK, due to the large amount of international shipments and that I based shipping charges on my only previous international shipment charges to Canada (less than global shipping), I am out of group buy funds now.
I will continue shipping all orders, but if any international members haven't sent an extra $10 to me, please do so if you can at matthew_t_west@yahoo [dot] com. I don't mind spending a little extra on this GB from my own personal funds, but it looks like it's going to be on the order of $400-$500 and I'd like to recoup any of that cost that I can.
Thank You,

Much appreciated! Heading to the post office now! Do you mind confirming when you receive? I want to make sure my prepaid shipping labels make its through customs (I suspect they do, haven't heard a problem, yet).
EDIT: I just tracked a package that went to Spain using prepaid postage. Seems to be good to go. Thanks!

Sorry about the delay, production time (12 weeks) was out of my control, and I received them right around the holidays. If I am to do this again, I'd try and get the keys delivered in the summer instead so that my holiday plans don't affect shipping. This was my first GB and also didn't really conceive of the amount of work this takes! Glad you like them. Did they arrive safely?

No worries, it's all good. Staying responsive and making reliable statements is all I need.
Hey Manifex,
Thanks for running the GB!
I received my set today and ran through all my keys and unfortunately there are some defects with my "Y" and "U" key (see attached photo).
They keys don't have scuffs, rather it seems like a problem with the doubleshot process.
Is there a way to remedy this problem (ticket to GMK I assume)?
Was pleasantly surprised to get my set today! Doubly so since my name wasn't crossed out on the front page. Thanks a ton Manifex, I'll get some pictures up soon
Received my set yesterday. Amazingly well packaged - the best packaging of any group buy I've participated in :thumb:
A heartfelt thank-you MaNiFeX for running such a great group buy. You've kept everybody informed throughout with constant updates - no disappearances or lame excuses. If only all group buys were run so well.

Gajible does not lie, you're the man! Also mine's only a day away, but there's a big storm coming so fingers crossed it shows up tomorrow :))
I already sent 20 and am in Canada. If I wasn't so tight for cash I would send another 20 more!

Thanks Fictiouz! Only 25 more left. Hoping to get all packed this weekend and shipped next week. :thumb:
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going have to use $300-500 of my own funds to finish shipping due to my international shipping miscalculation. I based it on shipping to Canada which is $10 cheaper than overseas shipping.
Any International Buyers that can pay me an extra $10, it would really help out!
Send funds to matthew_t_west [at] yahoo [dot] com! Thanks all that have done so already!

Thanks for the GB!
I'm not even part of this gb but I sent you a ten spot to help see you through the end of this one. Too many group buy leaders end up stalling the buys when they run out of funds to ship and won't admit a miscalculation on their part. I assume with how shipping costs change its an easy mistake to make. Good luck!

Just received the replacement of my broken '5' and 'H' keys. Thanks a lot!
Picked up my set today and did a quick check. No scratches or damage. Very good packaging job, 10/10 would buy again (please please please would you consider adding 1800 support for your future GBs please please please :) )
These may not be the droids I'm looking for, but it's definitely the keyset I am looking for :D

The set already includes most of the major pieces for 1800 layout: small right shift, 1u Numpad '0' and the split numpad +/- keys, really the only things missing are the 3x1u keys for the cluster at the top.
In any case, I now face the difficult decision of what board to actually put these caps on or build a new board just for this set :-|

Reporting in: all keys accounted for, no anomalies whatsoever.
Thank you very much for the group buy, Manifex. :thumb:
(Don't mind the photo too much - a power outage happened while I was fitting the caps onto the board, so instead of bumming out while waiting for the power to return, I made do with alternative lighting :p)
Received my set. A few caps have issues, but they seem too minor to warrant replacement. Overall awesome set and GB, thanks for running things so smoothly and amazing communication through MaNiFeX :thumb:

Finally got around finishing my build:
- White Ducky One TKL
- Metallic Red Plate
- Red LEDs
- GMK Stormtrooper
The set looks good but the left ISO shift-key looks a bit crooked compared to the other keys and other ISO shift-keys in my other GMK sets...
Any chance to get it replaced? See attachment.
Also please PM me your Paypal so i can send you the missing $10 for shipping!

I received shipment of replacement keys from GMK a week or two ago. Since starting my new job, I've had a bit of a time crunch. I'll be packing up tonight or tomorrow and shipping out on Friday. Thanks for your patience as I wrap up the buy.

This is awesome to hear. I'm waiting on replacement caps in another keycap GB as well and the communication there has been abysmal. So I really appreciate the transparency here. Easily one of the best GBs I've been a part of. :-)

I appreciate that. Before starting the group buy, I promised that I would be transparent and fully close a GB before starting another... Looks like sticking to that has paid off. The amount of work that goes into a group buy after its inception is much greater than that of setting the buy up. So much so, I don't know if I can pull another off! Let's hope so!

I received shipment of replacement keys from GMK a week or two ago. Since starting my new job, I've had a bit of a time crunch. I'll be packing up tonight or tomorrow and shipping out on Friday. Thanks for your patience as I wrap up the buy.
Take Care,

This is awesome to hear. I'm waiting on replacement caps in another keycap GB as well and the communication there has been abysmal. So I really appreciate the transparency here. Easily one of the best GBs I've been a part of. :-)
I appreciate that. Before starting the group buy, I promised that I would be transparent and fully close a GB before starting another... Looks like sticking to that has paid off. The amount of work that goes into a group buy after its inception is much greater than that of setting the buy up. So much so, I don't know if I can pull another off! Let's hope so!
He's the best GB leader I've encountered! Quickest replies too.

It was cool to see the man himself on MechMerlin's video from the Portland meetup :) I jumped out of my seat.

After having had them on hand for far too long, I put BBST on a board today, and, they look ace! Thanks for one of my fav GBs, MaNiFeX!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/VfB6880.jpg)
Originally, I had intended for their premiere to be on May the 4th, but life happens and whatever.
Hey Manifex, I thought about you not too long ago. Did you ever recover the money spent on shipping?
