[hwood34]

Here you guys go

@Giorgio & Polymer: Please move this discussion to a separate thread.

Did we get anywhere with the creators of SoWaRe? 

Not that I need another set but I'm really looking forward to seeing this made...

We located, and sent a message to the creators over on OTD. Just waiting upon a response. The response we get will dictate the future of this group buy.

[KeyZero]

Might get it is I can get a grey or even black modpack. Looks clean and simple.

[shower_king]

For me, gray and beige are both OK. However, the alfa of Hyper fuse and Triumph Adler are gray and they are classic , gray match them quite well. SoWaRe is a more modern one , beige is matching it well.

[Mattr567]

The original gray set looks really good!

A 2U shift key would be needed to complete my G80. Can't wait for when (if) this GB happens.

[korrelate]

all those different colors.... Handarbeit is the only set that can possibly make this one sound "reasonably priced."


^^^^^ just a guess.

I was never a fan of soware but maybe that beige render is what ineeded.

[lewi]

interesting

[Vaun]

This is the set I'm currently waiting for, skipping all other GBs until this goes live cause I simple can't miss out!

Shamelessly going in for classic beige even though I just went in for LeandreN's buy and will probably be going in for this as well. RIP wallet.

[Phirr]

This will be the set that finally gets me to make the jump to gmk (I like the look fine, just $$$$$$)

[dutC4]

beige alphas confirmed when!

[Jmneuv]

heard anything from otd yet? been pretty long

[Air tree]

Crossing my fingers that they are alright with it, a replica SoWaRe set would be AmAzInG..

[FunkMasterJ]

I think people are sleeping on how good beige alphas would look. It'll look good either way, gray or beige, as long as the mods stay N9. I'll be in for a set.

Yes, both versions would look good. But, beige would look really, really, really good!

Now, where is that damn order form hiding???

[ccc24]

definitely interested in for a full set. any updates?

[yuktsi]

any update?

[ideus]

The subtle RGB legends look terrific, and the color combination is awesome. This time I would have to jump on this wagon, no excuses from my poor thin wallet will be accepted.

[ideus]

Gray could be combined with upcoming blue electric, with current black modifiers, and ... well you get the idea. In the other hand, beige would be awesome. I cannot decide which one I'd prefer, mmm.

[ideus]

I suggest the OP to add the option to vote for nipples, bars, or scooped FJ keys. I'd prefer scoops; because, they are a Cherry design characteristic, as far as I know, bars could be found everywhere and nipples are also available somewhere else. Besides, they feel awesome while typing.

I think we should move all nips/bumps/bars/scoops to this from now on:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74545.0

Any GMK GB where the creator omitted F/J designs for a reason should not have any discussion regarding them.

Yeah, and all other questions too. We should make a specific thread for every possible question. I suggest a 1800 thread.

We already have a scoops/bars/nipples discussion thread. Is it too much just to ask people to act like grown ups and police themselves on this?

I am so lazy to read the entire thread; so, what is the agreement on this then?

[byker]

Hey everyone, been slowly working on some details. Life has been busy recently with the start of a new job and new semester. Will provide an update soon!

50% of the users want them, but the project leaders don't care, because they think that it is a minor, esthetic change, while it is instead a radical change in feeling. If you insist on this topic, the dear leader will abuse you verbally and accuse you of derailing the gb. You are also responsible for half of the wars in Africa.

Thank you very much for the warning; therefore, herein I declare that I formally apologize to the group leaders, and I accept any sort of force work sentence, under the penalty to be guilty as charge of had not troughly read the entire thread to understand the sensitiveness of the issue. Let's do it any way the leaders want. Us, the potential buyers, should silently accept the final decision.

That is kind of rude. I don't recall ever saying any of that, or abusing you, or even talking to you, quite frankly..

I think he was joking.

By the way, your proposal is awesome. I really hope it goes through. If you do not mind I would like to set a link to your OP in my signature, please let me know if you allow it.

I would broke my promise to not buy more keyboard stuff in the rest of the year, because this set deserves to be in our inventories.

Fair enough. You may put one in your sig if you wish, however right now we are just working out the logistics, we have enough interest to continue. Also, there is no rush as there are so many gmk buys recently.

That's right sir. I should wait for the GB thread when available, then I may link it to contribute with a grain of salt to its exposure. A time waiting would be beneficial, learning from other unsuccessful GMK GBs, to wait would increase its chances to be supported.

Thank you for your work on this.

Sorry I was joking. Anyway this question is taken very seriously in other threads, and this actually happened.

Did they get back to you?  It should just really be a yes or no answer.  They might not even understand why you're asking as a color palette doesn't really belong to anyone but it is nice that you're asking anyways. 

[Air tree]

Hmm, after the next JTK set is produced and received, maybe you guys can consider JTK as the producer for this set? We have seen a few issues with the purple set, that are being resolved but the general reaction is that it is quite good.


With the compatibility of JTK sets and the lower prices and further, maybe more accurate colour choices it could be a better choice?


If by the time the second run is produced and all of the issues are ironed out, maybe just maybe?   


That is of course if we get the OK by the original designers and everything is all good to go.

But JTK does not have support for ISO, this set deserves to have ISO compatibility to be worldwide compliant.

Has there been word from bunny and/or JTK on ISO support? There could be support by the time it comes for this set to be made.

Yeah, he said so, but there is no any firm date for it, not any word showing interest of JTK on that; with a reason, it implies a new mold that costs some thousand dollars in investment.

[Jersern]

I'd love support for a split right shift configuration.

Edit: nvm I'm blind. Grey or beige I'd love a set.

[swaqqqmaster]

Whether it's beige or grey, I'd be picking up a set 100%.

Hey everyone, just wanted to post a quick update. We are just as excited as you guys are about GMK SoWaRe, however we have to put this group buy on hold for now. We hope to start it up in the future when we have more time and resources!

Much love, byker and vesperSAINT

[Air tree]

Good to have an update, I'll be waiting patiently. 

[romevi]

So long as this actually happens, that's fine. My wallet was taking a beating and needs to heal!

no worries I think the collective wallets of geekhack can let out a sigh of relief (for the time being)
looking forward to seeing it in the future

The feelings are divided, my wallet is relieved, my spirit halts, my soul is full of deep sorrow.
