yeah this still has some chances to hit the 50 tier.

LechnerDE · « **Reply #101 on:** Fri, 04 July 2014, 01:33:19 »

Hey Matt3o,

maybe you should add the renders to the official PMK site as well.

I guess it wouldn't hurt either if someone posted those renders on reddit for some cross-promotion...

I know GBs aren't really allowed, but showing off some renders should be fine ... maybe someone accidentally links the PMK GB in the comments

Matt3o · « **Reply #102 on:** Fri, 04 July 2014, 01:46:33 »

I sent the renders to SP, but they haven't updated the GB yet. I'll ping them on Monday.

Regarding Reddit, I'm not pushing my own work. If anyone is willing to, please feel free to do so.

Matt3o · « **Reply #103 on:** Fri, 04 July 2014, 11:28:37 »

Little progress, still progress.

darkiedark · « **Reply #104 on:** Sun, 06 July 2014, 04:20:34 »

so anything in green are a go for production right?

Matt3o · « **Reply #105 on:** Sun, 06 July 2014, 05:06:41 »

If basekit doesn't tip I believe we will be cancelling the whole set.

Matt3o · « **Reply #106 on:** Sun, 06 July 2014, 05:30:52 »

I took this yesterday at midnight. it came out super wicked and "silvery". I thought it was pertinent

yeah, it's the moon behind the clouds

C'mon have a little faith here. They know it's your design I suspect they are all still scrimping and saving for the BIG Ivan GMK Group Buy at this moment and as soon as they push out payment for that, then your key-set will be on their minds

Exactly this. The Ivan GMK Group buy just killed my wallet but I really want this set do I'm trying to get something together so I can buy this set

Less than a week to go. Come on, make it tip!

kle5635 · « **Reply #110 on:** Tue, 08 July 2014, 18:16:24 »

this isn't looking very promising

mlng · « **Reply #111 on:** Tue, 08 July 2014, 19:59:33 »

Yeah, it's really a great design (though I'm not interested in DCS, but will buy SA).

I reckon the "GMK Dolch" phenomenon is to be blamed and has destroyed too many wallets in its wake

/sarcasm

Matt3o · « **Reply #112 on:** Wed, 09 July 2014, 01:23:45 »

I still believe this can tip.

I hope so too. That'll be a shame if it doesn't tip. This set looks great, no doubt, but seems like wallets are being thinned so badly

trizkut · « **Reply #114 on:** Wed, 09 July 2014, 03:55:22 »

Just placed my order. If the base set tips and the twilight mods/additional mods don't tip, will people have the option to change their order to the standard mods/additional mods before the GB closes?

Matt3o · « **Reply #115 on:** Wed, 09 July 2014, 05:06:25 »

everything will tip

ISO excluded probably

What is that supposed to mean?

Did you make arrangements with SP or another vendor or is this just an educated guess from you?

Matt3o · « **Reply #117 on:** Wed, 09 July 2014, 10:37:32 »

Educated guess

MsYutai · « **Reply #118 on:** Wed, 09 July 2014, 12:37:16 »

I like the set but it's just so expensive, and I haven't even gotten to where shipping is added in!

I think $80 is about my limit for a 104-key set. :/

Matt3o · « **Reply #119 on:** Wed, 09 July 2014, 12:46:42 »

I agree. The cherry legends unfortunately missed some keys so there's a tooling fee in there. In fact as soon as you reach a decent tier the set is reasonably priced ($70 at 50 tier for the mods, that we will hardly reaching).

Matt3o · « **Reply #120 on:** Sat, 12 July 2014, 01:54:41 »

Last 3 days. Or now or never...

Matt3o · « **Reply #121 on:** Mon, 14 July 2014, 00:48:39 »

LAST DAY to make DCS Midnight a reality!

We need 23 more orders, very hard but not impossible.

pasph · « **Reply #122 on:** Mon, 14 July 2014, 03:14:52 »

If the Base won't tip the other sets will be cancelled?

It's all the newbs thinking that the price will drop further before they commit to buying it (reverse of Ebay). Little do they know that EVERYONE who signs on will get that lower price when signing up whether a month ago or 2 minutes before it ends.

I hope this one gets done, because Matt3o's design work deserves far greater appreciation which I'm sure everyone will agree once they receive their key-sets

GSimon · « **Reply #131 on:** Mon, 14 July 2014, 21:57:26 »

I wish the current GB the best of luck, though I'm holding out for SA. Will definitely partake in that one.

Matt3o · « **Reply #132 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 01:20:52 »

Ok. I made the big mistake of adding 2 modifier options...

Anyway we just miss 11 orders to tip. Let's see if we can make it.

Matt3o · « **Reply #133 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 02:21:18 »

Current status

unfortunately we won't hit better tiers, but if the basekit tips I'll ask SP to make everything tip (except for ISO).

Matt3o · « **Reply #134 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 04:10:50 »

Just 10 orders left and 10 hours to go!

1 per hour... wow I thought everything was lost but there's still hope.......

Nice!! I can't imagine my 108 keyboard with midnight but my numpad is in white keycap =)

Data · « **Reply #136 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 08:33:34 »

Wow, I honestly didn't expect us to get this close. It could still tip. Surprised at how many people waited to the last second.

Matt3o · « **Reply #137 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 09:18:48 »

C'mon guys just 8 orders and less than 6 hours!

At this point I want it to tip! We can't lose it by 8 orders!

Very nice colors like mint or menthol. Wish I had the funds.

I talked with SP. this GB will go production anyway!

Zacapa · « **Reply #146 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 12:26:40 »

Everything tipped

darkiedark · « **Reply #147 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 12:27:33 »

i thought i was going crazy looking at the amount bought vs tipped. woooo

Matt3o · « **Reply #148 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 13:49:42 »

All set (excluding ISO) tipped! The group buy will proceed to production!

I'm sorry we didn't reach better tiers, but the few who got it will have a great keycaps set in their hands!

KaLam1ty · « **Reply #149 on:** Tue, 15 July 2014, 14:09:13 »

SP should really implement a similar GB system like Massdrop where buyers can have a 'Commit' choice
where their 'purchase' counts towards tipping tiers, but are only forced to buy the product once the
product has actually tipped.

It really helps to garner earlier interest from these 'last-minute-type' buyers. The earlier a product tips, the greater
the chance of earning higher tiers.

It also gives a sort of interest check during the actual GB and many buyers are given a nice safety net to see
the status of buying progression for cheaper prices.
