[GB] GMK Swiss Addon Kit | GB from August 1st - August 31st

GMK Swiss addon kit

GB from Aug 1st - Aug 31st

During my previous project I got some requests to add a Swiss layout, but due to the nicheness I didn't want to offer it in a custom color, so this is my answer!
This is a simple IC for a GMK addon kit to finally add the Swiss layout as an option for custom keyboards.


==============================


Vendors:
EU: Candykeys
NA: MKultra
AU: Daily Clack
Asia: KBDfans


Price:

US (MKUltra): 80 USD
EU (Candykeys): 76 Euros
CN/World (KBDFans): 89 USD WoB / 87 USD BoW
AU (Daily Clack): 109 AUD




==============================


What is the Swiss Layout?
Due to Switzerland having 4 national languages, most keyboards have a funky layout which lets them use 1 set of keycaps for all the languages. This is that layout!



Discord:
https://discord.gg/zRwBHYP3



Kits:


This allows for both an ISO and ANSI version, Side legends are UV printed.


Inspiration:


The Letter positioning was based on this old Cherry G81-3077 which had Dye sub Keycaps.


==============================


Board Renders:


Swiss by Bregoli (left) and J-02 by Jae (right)


==============================


Colors:


WS1 for the Caps and CR for the Legends for BoW and reverse for WoB. These match a lot of keysets, regardless of color!


==============================


Additional Info:

Expected Ship date is around July-Aug 2022
Manufactured by GMK in Germany
Row 1-1-2-3-4-4



==============================


Thanks:
NoPunIn10Did for the motivation, help, and opinions!

Wooow finally someone has done it! But one question, why didn‘t you choose PBT? GMK gets shiny soo fast:0( PBT would last a lifetime!

Unfortunately, this does not look so good for reaching the MOQ. I bought 2 and hope that the set can be produced

Hey,
Sorry havent been updating numbers, Candykeys was on vacation and wasn't able to update them and since he was the main seller the numbers barely rised.
That being said, it doesn't really matter since Candykeys said they'll buy out, the addon will be produced.
Todays the last day, if you want to get the kit at a cheaper price than extras, today's your last chance!
Thanks for your support!!

Glad to hear this will be produced. I guess it will be a slow but constant seller for Candykeys after the GB ends.
Thanks for doing this.

Since the expected shipping date has passed and nothing has happened for a while, I wanted to ask if there's any news in this regard :)

Terribly sorry for the late response. No news on expected shipping. I do however have a picture to share of how the swiss keys will look in real life:

These are the existing mold, yet to see a real life example with the side printed bracket

As long as I have to wait for my sets I live with my clones.... Not like GMK perfect but sufficient as a transitional solution for the years we have to wait..
Is this post not welcome then I delete it.

I've been out of the hobby for two years. This was the last thing I ordered. Any news on when GMK might bless us with some production time?

CandyKeys is currently selling both kits which they have listed as "in stock" - https://candykeys.com/product/gmk-swiss-add-on-kit
I'm guessing other vendors will receive kits soon, maybe start shipping to customers in the next 4-8 weeks?

Sorry for delayed response, just me being forgetful to check geekhack, my fault. Status is that Candykeys has shipped their sets, other KBDFans and Daily Clack should also have received and shipped their sets? (I messaged to double check)
MKUltra has apparently run into issues so Candykeys will try to fulfill their orders.
I'll update this with more info when I get it.

Hey everyone, im aware of the mkultra situation. The inventory is still with candykeys afaik. I'm trying to figure something out with candykeys to see what can be done. I know you're annoyed and disappointed but please remember that neither candykeys or me are responsible so please stay polite. The fastest way to contact me is by discord but I probably won't be able to give more info than what I've already said.

And yes there will be numerous extras available.

This is for all the MK Ultra customers of this GMK Swiss addon kit.
I'm sorry for having to say that if you want to receive your kits, you'll have to re purchase them. You'll get a discount if you directly email candykeys at support@candykeys.com with proof of purchase
Now why we had to do this?
MK Ultra disappeared and took the money with them. Candykeys didn't get any of that.  At least MK Ultra didn't also get the kits (there were plenty extras either way). We also never were able to get the order data so you'll need to prove you purchased a kit by sending a screenshot of the receipt or some other way. Then Candykeys will sell  you the kit for no profit (so what we paid).
I have not made any money from this project so I couldn't afford to replace them either sadly. This is the best I can do for you.
Sorry and I hope this helps. No one but MK Ultra is responsible for this mess so please don't get mad at anyone else.
