Sherry has decided to invest in the set & pick up the near 200 sets we needed so that it will be manufactured :)
The price will be the $135 you payed if you've already purchased instead of $125 because 125 sets were not purchased by people that aren't Sherry.
GB period has been extended to the end of September, if we reach 125 sets by then you'll be refunded $10.
Sherry is still submitting the order to GMK this week/next since we have enough orders & doing so will keep the set on schedule.
Pricing for the set currently:
GB(125+ sets purchased): $125
GB(currently): $135
Pre order(after GB but before retail): $150
Retail(in shop): $165
The set is good to go :cool:
Thanks :thumb:

Reminds me of DCS Midnight which is a colorway I adore.
Good luck w/ the GB dude

Holy doubleshot!
Are you getting 1u diamond molds made in R4 and R5 !?!?!?
I need to change my pants.
This is has been heavily requested for the next round of HADapter ... purrrrrfect!

yeeeeeeee

I'm trying not to hate you. Despite having spent way too much on keyboard related crap lately, these are mandatory for the case I'm currently designing. They're actually very close to something I imagined for the board, but thought wouldn't happen.
I might have to scrounge in the couch for coin for more sets, damn you!
They're amazing.

This looks like a pretty good set to use with my tiny keyboard (JD45) because of all of the variously sized modifier keys. I looked through the pages describing it and the picture is okay for showing what keys are generally used, but I find it hard to differentiate a 1.5 from 1.75 and would like an actual list for the modifiers.
Some things I know won't exist like a 1.75U blank that I can use for a space bar and a 1U tab key... I just want to be sure the control/alt/shift alt sizes will work with my crazy layout.

That image is exactly what I needed to confirm the Shift sizes. I am still short a 1.75 blank for space and 1.75 bottom row backspace. I could make them both blanks and it wouldn't kill me. Can I order these keys as blanks from the supplier so they match the profile and colors of the rest of the set?

Most likely not. The logistics would just not be feasible to make it happen. In order to make it happen, a separate drop for additional kits would have to be made as well as it having to hit the minimum order quantity

Tinyprawn, if you're willing to pay for 150 of each blanks, I think it could happen :P

Although... I could be the JD45 enter, shift, space, and backspace supplier for the millions of JD45 owners... I haven't done any market research yet. I assume there are literally millions of us.

So for a cherry set, I'd need:
150 row 3 cherry profile 1.75u blanks
150 row 4 cherry profile 1.75u blanks
If I wanted to switch to SA, I'd need 300 more?
That seems like a lot of keys. How much does a blank cost? $.50 each?

If this doesn't hit MOQ of 125, will it not run? :(

Signature plastic seems to have lower MOQ requirements, so you won't need as much. They also sell Blanks in various sizes and colour on their keycap store, so if you're lucky you won't have to place an order at all (I think SP SA Blanks are like $20 for a 4-pack, which is almost highway robbery, but there you go...)

Correct :(
Everyone that ordered will be refunded & no sets will be made.

Pretty much yes, just place an order before Sept 2nd. The delivery schedule is outlined in the OP or on kbdist.

Just a friendly note since this is your first GB: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=77272.0
Not that this will be a problem with this buy; the organizers are very consistent and trusted- I'm planning on getting in on this one if I can swing it. But just information for your general perusal.

Thanks Chuckdee, I appreciate the link, that is good info, and I'm glad I got pointed to this before jumping in too gung-ho on too many buys.
I just saw that this will only be produced if we hit the 125 backer mark? I really hope to see this one come to fruition so I suppose I shouldn't wait to the last minute. Bad habit of mine from crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter

maybe no renders would've been better. :)) Renders made the legends hard to see. Almost non existent.

For what it's worth, the renders are the reason I'm in for a set. The alphas looked way too pale at first so the set didn't interest me very much but they look amazing in the renders - the legends look readable enough to me and I much rather they be the colour they are than black, makes the set very unintrusive and unique.

95/125 - 30 more to go!
Just some additional information!
At 125, Originative will back this group buy and lower the cost to $125 for everyone who participated in this.
Thanks again for everyone participation!

Alright, purchased! I really love this set and would love for this to by my first custom cap set, fingers crossed a few more people will jump on board!

Joined in on this. Hoping for that MOQ. Such a clean colorway. Might be my nostalgia of when I used to collect SB's...

Yeah.. actually the GMK renders were what turned me off at first but I know from watching the IC thread that they weren't supposed to look like that.. same with Skeletor but Skeletor had a lot of buyers even with that terrible GMK render. Why isn't the 3D render posted in the top of the thread too? Duh - they are.

If I had to guess I would say it's because the alpha characters are illegible.

Are they? I know with my miami, because of the relative closeness of the colors of the legend and the keys, it's almost impossible to get a good render/photo, but they look good in person.

I can second that, Miami is one of my favourite sets and one I'm currently using in my daily driver - it's nigh impossible to get a good picture of the legend but they are fine in person.
In this particular case with the Keyboard & Co set I actually think they look fine even in the renders but each to their own I suppose - I like my sets to have exuberant key colours discreet legends most the time, this one definitely qualifies.

yeah, the alpha legend looks opaque, but the real one will be rather distinct when seeing in person. Blame should be put on GMK's 3D Render.
Thinking reasonably, GMK will not make any GMK keycaps which legend is almost vague and indistinct from bottom color, even two colors are same to the most proximate extent.
Sky dolch is a very good sample , the renders for GB in mass drop is very bad ,which we almost don't detect the legend , the real sky dolch is terrbly beautiful.

I already bought a set but good point. This set will probably look much better in person than in the renders. The render for Sky Dolch was quite bad. Render vs reality for the lazy:

Agreed, let's hope it's not TOO much of a sleeper though, need that 125 number met haha.
Can't wait to see it in real life, definitely has the potential to become my new favourite, at least until the Miami Dolch and Yuri coming into play, then the Keyboard & Co will be in for some tight competition!

The GMK render is probably closer than that photo. GMK cyan is no where near as vibrant and as blue as that.

From a little bit of Googling I'm seeing what you are saying about the cyan caps, but I do see a lot of bright turquoise caps that seem much brighter and richer in color than the Cyans

The GMK render is probably closer than that photo. GMK cyan is no where near as vibrant and as blue as that.
Pretty sure triz' point is that you should just not trust GMK the renders.
UN6037(TU2 now I think) is not as bright as the photo but it's definitely not as dark as the render in person.
I'd include a photo of the 7471 U but Sherry took potato picture when he showed me :p
It is very similar to the Pantone on screen tho.

I like that even better than I like the other render posted by Trizkut which I felt was overly vibrant, I'll be very happy if that pantone is accurate - both miles better than GMK's super pale colour though of course!

swotchpls.
to anyone on the fence: never trust GMK renders, they're always crappy :p

I'm going to pick up a set but will have to be right up to the deadline (Sept 1st). Could you give us a quick head-up on current MOQ?

Thanks! Looks like we're slowly but surely getting there!

Sky dolch is a very good sample , the renders for GB in mass drop is very bad ,which we almost don't detect the legend , the real sky dolch is terrbly beautiful.
yeah i passed on the original sky dolch buy after looking at the renders and regretted it later. it turned out to be a really great looking set.
this one is going to be beautiful i'm sure. order now or cry later!
switch, have you posted this to niketalk yet? haha.

I love it but I'll wait for SA version ;D keep up good work man :thumb:

Any update on how close we are to 125? :o

We're currently at 107/125, but a Chinese Vendor might want to back out ... I'll have to update you guys further more soon!

You pay immediately, and get a refund if it doesn't meet MOQ.

Dang :(
How many orders do we have to make up for the Chinese vendor?
-
If I have to I'll pick up a few more sets. I really think this is a sleeper.
-
Is there a minimum MOQ that we need to meet just to reach production, since the 125 is for the price drop right? This set NEEDS to be made, definitely a sleeper :P

That's what I get for not hyping it on reddit :p
Also, good guy Sherry has decided to purchase the rest of the orders leading up to 125 on top of the sets to reach the 250 MOQ.
That means the set is good to go & he'll just keep selling sets on the site at GB price until 125-150 sets are actually purchased by others.
That was news before the Chinese vendor possibly dropping out tho, we'll see what happens :-X

Sherry making dreams come true! This is amazing news, as I was pretty doubtful after hearing about the vendor that pulled out of the buy. So hyped that these sets will get to be realized.

Hopefully the Vendor pulling out won't hold us back on this too much. This Sherry character genuinely seems like the guardian angel for this GB, hopefully the Vendor issue won't be a nail in the coffin

Sherry the god. How would that reflect on pricing by the way, would the final price then drop to the $118 + shipping on kbdist for the 250 MOQ?
Hope the Chinese vendor doesn't drop out, I just want it to be produced!

Unfortunately, the price will only drop to $125, because I would need to use the extra funds to purchase the rest. Otherwise, I can't make it happen.

That's very fair. Again, I appreciate your efforts to see this through! Did I understand correctly that the extras you'll be purchasing will continue to be gradually sold off on your website (sort of like how some Skeletor sets are still available right now) afterwards?
-
Gah, i'm already waiting on two other GMK sets and this gets posted... lovely colors!

I just ordered mine yesterday. Hoping that this will reach the MOQ

Hey Sherry, I will pick up a set before Friday, hopefully we can meet MOQ, I do have a question about your shipping rates to the UK though, I am going to pick up the KB&Co set and also some extra GMK trays, however each additional trays seems to add quite a lot to the shipping quote (something like +15USD per additional tray ordered), is this because of the size of the tray? Are there any additional shipping methods you can use? Seems really expensive :(
-
That's the second time I've seen before Friday. Can we purchase on Friday? That's when I get paid.
-

You should be able to :thumb:
If necessary, Sherry can extend the buy duration a bit so you may even be able to after Friday.

This set is cool.

This set is cool.
buy one for your hhkb.

Managed to place my order just before I leave on holiday.
If all goes well I may purchase another set before the buy ends to use on my office's WhiteFox that is currently on order from Massdrop's second round of it (or just for any other board, potentially a HHKB that I'm planning on buying when I get back).
Hope everyone that wants in manages to do so, I'm sure a lot of people that don't buy in on this will regret it duly once more actual pictures of it start popping up. Thank you for coming up with the idea for this beautiful set Switch and again, Sherry's hard work being put into it is highly respectable.
-
Hi, is it possible to extend the deadline to Sep 10th? I have enough money to purchase this by that time.....
-
Have a bunch of news for you all :)
So the Chinese buyer backed out bringing our orders back down to 75 :(
BUT.
Sherry has decided to invest in the set & pick up the near 200 sets we needed so that it will be manufactured :)
The price will be the $135 you payed if you've already purchased instead of $125 because 125 sets were not purchased by people that aren't Sherry.
GB period has been extended to the end of September, if we reach 125 sets by then you'll be refunded $10.
Sherry is still submitting the order to GMK this week/next since we have enough orders & doing so will keep the set on schedule.
Pricing for the set currently:
GB(125+ sets purchased): $125
GB(currently): $135
Pre order(after GB but before retail): $150
Retail(in shop): $165
The set is good to go :cool:
Thanks :thumb:

We're officially at 100 sets sold and 33 spacebars. Both sets are in queue and most likely ready to ship by December. We just need to work on the samples. I'll be getting some samples and I'll send some to switchnollie to confirm.
The samples are still in the process. GMK had to update my information in their database which delayed things a bit.

You must be GMK's biggest customer ;)

Hey all, after discussing the gray with Sherry I've decided to request new samples.
This will delay the buy by about another month but I think it will be worth it to have the gray closer to the one that you're all used to seeing from the GB Pantone image.
-
Always more important to get the color right! I think most people are willing to wait a little longer if the set comes out like the vision!

I was curious to see how the gray and greenish looked together since they're relatively low contrast.

I'll try to ask for those as the next samples. One of the funny thing is that the grey here is actually more White than Grey. It highly resembles the 2M color code from GMK, but it's not exactly the same. I think the contrast would look really good when the whole set is made. The Tiffany Blue isn't completely strong, but it's more than enough.

Agreed on both fronts, the grey looks pretty white from pictures.

Wait when did we move away from the light grey legends on the Tiffany's Green caps?

Want to add that I think the sample (with the black 'Q' on it) is the perfect color for Tiffany's Blue

Yeah I saw that, tried to modify my first post, not post a second, but I'm multitasking at work and wasn't paying enough attention to either my work or my posting. Clearly I need to get my priorities straightened out a little better (Obviously this is the priority)

What is the ETA on the next update? This is my first GMK set and I have been disappointed by the SP keycap quality. I want to know whether it's my expectations are unreasonable or if there is a quality difference between the two manufacturers.

I can personally assure you that gmk is way superior than SP
They had issues with QC before especially fot their double shooting results. But I think they have fixed it, my recent gmk does not have that issue anymore

With GMK Carbon shipping you should be able to base the quality off of those once the pics start flooding in.
I'd guess the new samples will be ready at the end of the month, the first samples were later than estimated though so I can't say for sure.

I have one of the sale caps like yours & it's noticeably different.
Darker beak & feathers.

Goodies made by Navacaps to give away to GB participants in the future :)
Thanks man!

Figured! They look great, hopefully both the sale version as well as the giveaway match the set.
Speaking of which, no further updates I suppose? As in the new colour samples are still scheduled to arrive some time toward the end of this month?

We might be using GTL like suggested in the original SA set.
Cool Gray 1 XGC was not the same as the Pantone image IRL.
Did not look as nice.
I've PM'd Sherry & am waiting for a reply on the situation.

sorry, can i get an update on this GB? i vanished for a few months and now i don't know if i still can buy this or not... i know the group buy period has ended but i also read that Sherry have bought a few (if not a lot) set, can i grab a spare on that? thanks!

There was this (http://www.kbdist.com/updates/2016/11/29/keyboardco-delayed) update from KBDIST a few days ago:
We're currently still working with GMK to get the correct custom color for the set. Production will be delayed due to this. We'll update with a more accurate ETA once we get more information. Sorry for the inconveniences!
2017 seems more likely.

Around 200, I reside in Europe however and I purchased them from a local store - as I remember the prices in the US were pretty intense the first couple days/weeks because of people flipping theirs for crazy amounts.

So, just to clarify: Honeywell is expected to arrive around 21 April and GMK wants to finish before they work on another sample. After that, we'd be looking at 8-12 weeks for production. So IF the next sample is acceptable, we'd probably be looking at around August for this set.
Am I understanding this right?

That'd be what one would expect yea, I'm thinking they may mean that they're waiting for Honeywell to be wrapped (as in samples getting approved by Sherry etc and the deal finalized) and ready for production so that they can work with the Keyboard & Co project people though. Would be a bit silly that they can't just work with K&C samples the entire time they're in queue to/producing HW in my mind.

The name is actually inspired by Diamond & Co. Diamond and Nike collaborated on Tiffany colored Nike SB shoes. This design was meant for the shoes :)

I can't find anywhere where Diamond Supply Co. or Nike labeled the these SB collab hightops 'Diamond & Co.', I thought that was you making up 'Keyboard & Co.' for the KeyCaps which is clever, if apparently unintentional

When I bought them they were labelled as Diamond Supply Co. x Nike High Dunk SB Diamond, so I guess one could easily extract Diamond & Co from there - I didn't do enough research at the time (nor am I doing it now) to know whether or not they're actually called "Diamond & Co" but I like the set's name, Keyboard & Co is fitting!

I'm in no way affiliated with the project (besides being in for a set) but given the samples just shipped to Sherry and so long as they are the correct colour and he can give the go ahead for production, I'd imagine like two months at least? I guess it depends on GMK's workload, they've been pretty busy, it's all up to whether or not stuff like Honeywell and the new black on black set for the Exent get prioritized over K&C even though we've been in the queue for way longer.

Worth it for custom colors, IMO. Happier than everyone just rehashing beige a billion times with like a few mods here and there. :)

Sadly I was gone for a while from GH. I remembered I was watching the IC. Had no idea this went past pre-order phase already. If anyone is interested in giving up their pre-order (if that is even allowed), Let me know. I would love to snag this set.

Took a couple pictures of the new samples, not too happy with the turnout as the gray almost looks the same as round 1 which is more of an off white in person.
Best route now may be to just use a nice gray that already exists.
I'll wait for opinions.
Will take some more tomorrow to try & show off the green more.
Don't really have any white lighting so I had to try & fix the jpeg post since I can't shoot raw at the moment.
It does look a bit pale, not sure if that's good or bad though.

I would rather wait and get the color right than settle for off-white or the wrong gray

GMK seriously needs to hurry up with getting the colours right.
We have been over 4 months since the group buy ended and have not entered production
-
GMK are you kidding me?

i will wait patiently. i know the custom color sample would need more time to correct the real keycap's color. This would cause unexpected delay to some extent.

Got a few questions about the process here. Sorry if it sounds harsh. I'm just interested in whats going on behind the scenes as from my side of the computer screen I can't draw any opinions on the quality of the match.
(http://i.imgur.com/vjSXWux.png)
This mock up and on the GB page on KBDIST (which has been taken down) have the exact pantone color codes listed.
What specification for color was given to GMK for them to work against? Do you know if they have pantone color chart to work against? I would assume so. If not, was it ever suggested that we buy them the specific color chips/cards?
From the two samples that have come in I haven't seen them placed against a pantone color card. How are the mistakes in color being measured/quantified, personal eyeballing of color? Against which colors and under what lighting? How are these inaccuracies being communicated with GMK?
How would a stock grey from GMK be chosen? Do Originative have the GMK color ring and pantone colors? I can't see how a stock color can be a closer match than one of the two current samples. Would people get a chance for a refund if the colors change from what was sold in the GB?
One worry I have is that when the colors are finalised that the contrast is still really poor. Is there no way to get a double shot sample made of grey on turquoise?
What is the cost of getting samples? In the future is this something that could be done at the IC phase? I'm guessing a deposit has to be made before GMK are willing to manufacture the custom colors?
Finally, it's my personal preference to wait until the colors from the original mock up are done right. Delays happen and as long as there is constant communication people are happy to wait. :thumb:
-
my vote is for 2M or GR1
(http://i.imgur.com/4HansnG.jpg)
-
Unfortunate that we got trolled by GMK. I'm okay with waiting a reasonable amount of time, I rather have it done well than fast, but when they take like 2 months to ship over like 2 caps for a sample of a custom colour suddenly waiting becomes a lot less appealing.
Judging by the colours provided by Redbanshee and as someone who owns the shoes I'd say GR1 is pretty accurate - of course it's hard to tell from a picture and I wouldn't put my absolute word in on that but it looks to be a close match.
As said, if samples can make their way there in a timely fashion this time around, then we're good. Else (or either way) maybe give GR1 a try, 2M might be okay too but looks too muted in my opinion.
-
My vote is take as long as it takes to get the right look by your standard as the creator, I don't mind waiting, I will start to get impatient at about the 2 year mark, so really, don't rush and don't worry about it.

I also don't mind waiting until the colors are what they are supposed to be. Better done right than sorry!
-
The fact that the color is the same and that means another delay is very disappointing.
Is 2B too dark?
2B is too dark.
The goal here isn't actually grey, but it's like a silver looking color. I can attest to all the samples I have with GMK that none of these match the actual color we need.
Jon and I are extremely sorry for the delay and how the samples came out. We definitely tried to provide a new color. I think it's best if we get a physical object instead of colors through the monitor-calibration.
-
I'm happy to wait for the colours to be right but the process needs to hurry up a bit....
Right now if it takes 2 weeks for samples just to be shipped (excluding manufacture) we could be in for potentially months more of delay
Nathan raises some important questions as well - GMK should really be sending a doubleshot sample of the custom colours.
It would be a huge shame if we went through all this wait getting the colours right only to find out that they don't work well when doubleshot (whether that is contrast or colour mixing)

hi , i fully appreciate your worry. Due to some experience on custom color of GMK GB, i think i could explain some aspects on GMK'S custom color from my standpoint.
(http://p1.bqimg.com/567571/31f833c045994875.png)
For example Pantone 317U, i give GMK the color's RGB Values(R:174, G:233, B:232), they could decide the right color. Then GMK will give the 3D renders of this color, but they create the render with pantone 317U at HEX/HMTL:AEE9E8. HEX is another kind description of RGB Values.
When done double shot keycaps, GMK would choose the different (including right and not-so-right) mixed proportion of Pantone 317U at the RGB values. Even at the same RGB Values, different mixed proportion of ABS materials could cause different vision such as difference between new and old samples.
Thus making the custom color keycaps' color to meet the sheme of the desiger is very complex and time-consuming.
As for the taking samples for correct color of keycaps, GMK would provide samples for those GBs which have paid already. Thus, there is slim possibility to get samples at IC stage.However , GMK Yuri is exception. Tombery has got samples at IC

Don't really have any white lighting so I had to try & fix the jpeg post since I can't shoot raw at the moment.
It does look a bit pale, not sure if that's good or bad though.

Got a few questions about the process here. Sorry if it sounds harsh. I'm just interested in whats going on behind the scenes as from my side of the computer screen I can't draw any opinions on the quality of the match.

This mock up and on the GB page on KBDIST (which has been taken down) have the exact pantone color codes listed.
What specification for color was given to GMK for them to work against? Do you know if they have pantone color chart to work against? I would assume so. If not, was it ever suggested that we buy them the specific color chips/cards?
From the two samples that have come in I haven't seen them placed against a pantone color card. How are the mistakes in color being measured/quantified, personal eyeballing of color? Against which colors and under what lighting? How are these inaccuracies being communicated with GMK?
How would a stock grey from GMK be chosen? Do Originative have the GMK color ring and pantone colors? I can't see how a stock color can be a closer match than one of the two current samples. Would people get a chance for a refund if the colors change from what was sold in the GB?
One worry I have is that when the colors are finalised that the contrast is still really poor. Is there no way to get a double shot sample made of grey on turquoise?
What is the cost of getting samples? In the future is this something that could be done at the IC phase? I'm guessing a deposit has to be made before GMK are willing to manufacture the custom colors?
Finally, it's my personal preference to wait until the colors from the original mock up are done right. Delays happen and as long as there is constant communication people are happy to wait. :thumb:
hi , i fully appreciate your worry. Due to some experience on custom color of GMK GB, i think i could explain some aspects on GMK'S custom color from my standpoint.
Show Image
(http://p1.bqimg.com/567571/31f833c045994875.png)
For example Pantone 317U, i give GMK the color's RGB Values(R:174, G:233, B:232), they could decide the right color. Then GMK will give the 3D renders of this color, but they create the render with pantone 317U at HEX/HMTL:AEE9E8. HEX is another kind description of RGB Values.
When done double shot keycaps, GMK would choose the different (including right and not-so-right) mixed proportion of Pantone 317U at the RGB values. Even at the same RGB Values, different mixed proportion of ABS materials could cause different vision such as difference between new and old samples.
Thus making the custom color keycaps' color to meet the sheme of the desiger is very complex and time-consuming.
As for the taking samples for correct color of keycaps, GMK would provide samples for those GBs which have paid already. Thus, there is slim possibility to get samples at IC stage.However , GMK Yuri is exception. Tombery has got samples at IC
Thanks for the knowledge share, it's appreciated :thumb:

Should be borrowing an A6k today from a buddy, will take some najs pics for you :dogebrow:
I've compared the caps to the swatches & GMK using RGB value is what i believe made it look this way as they look like what you see keyboard layout editor which uses RGB.

Colors are not super accurate since I did the white balance myself but you should be able to see the keycaps being less saturated than the Pantone which is even more noticeable in person.

Returned home last night & reviewed the colors a bit.
Wasn't able to get Cool Gray 1 XGC but Cool Gray 1 U is very close to it.
Very tempted to go a tad bit darker with Cool Gray 2 U, maybe Cool Gray 3 U.

When comparing colors it's important to have a light source with a high CRI rating (95+) and as diffused light as possible. Especially with the semi-gloss finish on GMK caps compared to the very matte finish on the pantone chips, if the light is not completely diffused the color of the caps can be a bit lighter (and thus less saturated) due to micro-reflections. A good place for a photoshoot for comparing color would be an open field on a cloudy day. :thumb:

I guess it would be better to go with the slightly darker Cool Gray 2 U then.

GR1 is basically a white, and won't look anything like the requested gray. The samples are much much closer to the desired color.

Even if you think it's beautiful, it doesn't match the render. So people are not getting what they payed for. (Unless there were other renders for that GB that I've not seen).

switchnollie sent the physical samples about 2 weeks ago to GMK.
We're just awaiting the sample material. The problem with the past samples is that they were more matte than shiny. The original colors were more like a shiny silver. We hope that GMK can replicate this, but it may cause issues. We're just awaiting those samples right now.

hi, dude, i don't make this too messy. if GMK could not replicate this shiny silver , do we need to change to another similar silver or replace silver color with other colors? This GB has delayed too much ,but i support you and designer to choose the better silver. The uncertainty definite make me feel not so good.

Hey I have a question. The colors in the bottom picture are much more... vibrant (similar to the 3d render) compared to the above picture. Are the vibrant colors more indicative of the final product? The one above looks like they almost have a darker, almost muddy tint about them.
-
That one is from the time when GMK renders suck major ballsack, I'd disregard that one (the top/first one you linked). The set's based on the shoes so if you look at pictures of those, you should have a precise idea of how it is meant to look. There have also been samples posted a few pages back (for the Tiffany colour, the grey isn't sorted yet).

Thanks Vigrith. Are there any of you guys that are getting this for an HHKB and looking for a suitable Topre PBT spacebar replacement? There don't seem to be any being sold online and I asked a "dye guy" how close he can get and he said not very close with his current dyes unfortunately... I would really prefer not to default to a black PBT spacebar :( any tips?

this includes a 6u spacebar from the looks of the render, dunno if it would work on the hhkb though :(
-
HHKB 6U is center mounted, the GMK 6U is offset to the "4U" position (imagine laying out all 6 positions, count over 4). It's where the "Cherry style" switch would be on a 6.25U board, or 7U board.

Strange that the GMK 6U is in that position. Wouldn't that make it off balance in a way? Or are the stabilizers enough

Can confirm, the 6U spacebar I recently purchased doesnt line up with the hhkb.

Though this is obviously a bit in the weeds with the colors and such, this is still a set I am SUPER excited about putting on a board!!

They're working on the gray right now.
They're more used to making white/gray grays rather than silver grays if that makes sense.
That's what GMK said a few days ago.

The silver definitely looks to have improved, hard to tell from a phone picture of course but it seems as though improving upon the new sample might be complicated.
I'm just happy to see this may potentially be moving along finally!

I believe from what I was told, a silver glossy color would not work. It'll have to be matte, and it does look like a silver matte. I'll definitely give the deets when i see it.

So after reviewing the keycap, I think this is the key. It's definitely a matte silver-y color, but it's not the glossy we had imagined when looking at a Nike SB Tiffany.
I highly believe this key can be the legend, but we'll try to ask the manufacturer for a double-shot sample.

Hey guys,
I just had a talk with GMK last night. I haven't told Jon about this yet, but the sample will take about 4 weeks to produce.
Either we proceed with this or we wait for the sample.
From my experience, I think we waited a long time, and I think we can still wait but this is up to you guys. I think contrast is very important and it may not turn out the finest (e.g. Chronicler). I think it's important to wait for the four weeks. Let me know your thoughts.

I agree with this. I have such high hopes for the set, I would rather get it right than rush... what's 4 more weeks among friends? (Selfishly and personally,) I'm traveling a bunch the rest of the summer and won't be building much up, so let's see the double shot sample and make sure this is the champion set we all want! :thumb: :thumb:
-
At this point, I'd be okay waiting to get a set that was worth waiting for. Id also kinda defer to switch and his vision for the set.
-
After waiting this long, I'd be sort of disappointed if the set didn't turn out to be all that it could. Four weeks to ensure the set lives up to its potential seems worth it to me.
-
I'm confident the samples are okay as is but I'm willing to wait to make sure they're the best they can be so my vote's there.
-
I honestly can't even remember when I paid for this set. Get it right haha. I can wait longer
-
I want to thank everyone for being on board with this.
We had a few issues and refunds, but we definitely can't wait for the end result with this set.
-
Why not? We have come a long way. Just go ahead!
But I would suggest a plan B for you. Plz also make a double shot alpha key sample with darker legend in case the original plan doesn't work out well, if it won't involve too much hassle.
-
I have no problem with waiting. If I've learned anything from this hobby it's patience ;D

I think the legend contrast is the most delicate and important aspect of this set. Please don't rush into production until we are certain that it will look correct. 16 months vs 18 months is not worth ruining everything.

I've designated Keyboard & Co. for two builds so far that have, due to the delay, received different GMK sets instead. This is now scheduled to go on my K-Type when it arrives...hopefully Keyboard & Co. gets here by early November. All that to say...waiting will be worth it. :-)

Cancelled my order a while ago but definitely still my favorite GMK set. Can't wait to see all of your pictures once the GB is finished :)
-
I am satisfied with waiting for another 4 months. I think the silver legend would show decent contrast with base color.
-
I'd anyone wants out I'll buy your set.
-

They normally put extras up on the site, just not at GB prices. The ones I've bought have all been $180 at that point.

Eagerly waiting for the samples ;D
-
Any update on where that sample is?
-
TFW you see a bunch of new GMK sets on originative but you only want Key&Co :'(
-
Any update on where that sample is?
GMK said they, "ran out of the sample colors for the tiffany blue to do a double-shot."
Not sure if they need more Pantones or what at the moment.
I'll update further on this once I get more info.
Not really sure how that happens :confused:

Yea not gonna lie, does kinda seem like they don't give a **** about getting this over with at this point, not like the lack of fulfilment is hindering their business at all.
Would like to see action be taken by someone responsible sooner rather than later though, not really keen on becoming part of the hyperfuse round 1 and toxic club, it's not really about being in a hurry any more at this point but rather actually holding a prominent company to their word instead of allowing them to slither their way into pushing us further and further behind every time. That's terrible business practice.

I agree...In late May we were told a sample was going to be made and that it would take 4 weeks. Then we get an update 2 months later with nothing but "They ran out of stuff to make samples."
What's up with the lack of communication?
-
I'm in the same boat. I'm not dying for the 130 pre order cost but I'd like to know if this set is going to happen or not because otherwise I might end up jumping on another set. I've had good experiences with Originative so far so I'm patient but I see so many GMK sets being produced and here we are almost a year after payment and we still haven't even settled on production colors. Can we get more details switch? I'm sure most people in this group buy understand the troubles of a custom set but we would all likely appreciate more detail in the updates if possible. Thanks.
-
Maybe we can get a bit of an insight of the deal that's been made with GMK. This certainly could become one of the nicest GMK sets in a long time but it is also the biggest concern in my open GB list currently.
- Did GMK receive full payment already? (Didn't check the whole thread for info about this, sorry if this has been answered)
- On what basis is GMK providing these new samples? Are we paying them per sample or are a certain amount of samples included in the agreed price?
- What are we currently waiting for and when was it promised?
August is traditionally a vacation month in Bavaria, don't expect much to happen over at GMK before early September. With the current production queue GMK is having, I am afraid this GB will get delayed forever if we can't come to a conclusion. I guess making these samples does create some effort for GMK and I understand they get tired of making more "free" (???) samples for a 150 (250??) MOQ GB.

if anyone is thinking of dropping - i'll buy your spot + shipping!

The only, "update" right now is in my reply to wodan below.
It does seem that way with all the other sets they've been putting out :(

I'll forward your first 2 questions to Sherry & post back here.
I believe it's a yes for the first question though since Originative stepped in to purchase a lot of the sets to reach MOQ.
As for the last one, "they are sending samples i believe" is what Sherry told me yesterday.

I'm not sure but I think GMK may be working on colors.
When they said they ran out of colors for samples they sent a picture of 2 blue keycaps & 2 gray keycaps.
The blue keycaps looked pretty much the same as the last samples received that we requested to have doubleshot with gray.
The gray keycaps on the other hand looked metallic, like they had some shimmer to them.
They were darker than the previous gray samples & there was no info on them, GMK kinda just sent the picture.
We didn't even request a new gray.
it's been a year, dude. What about sample?
it's in the thread, dude. Have you read?
-
Thanks switch for the update. Maybe with all the increase in business GMK has been receiving as of late smaller orders like this just get lost in the shuffle sometimes. I'll keep waiting because if this set pans out it will look pretty killer.

I think so too. I dropped because I really wanted the Miami Nights, and I didn't need to spend the additional funds at the time. But I'm planning to get it at retail when it's out. Just think there's more of a chance of missing out on Miami Nights than this one.

Answering wodan's questions:
- Did GMK receive full payment already?
Yes, last year when the GB period ended.
- On what basis is GMK providing these new samples? Are we paying them per sample or are a certain amount of samples included in the agreed price?
The samples are thanks to Sherry.
He has a good long relationship with GMK so they are making samples for him.
Also, GMK sent some new samples a few days ago.
Doubleshot I hear :cool:
I guess they were able to solve the color issue.

I have some bad news, but it's actually more good than bad :p
So the doubleshot samples have landed :)
The problem is that they've been delivered to the wrong destination.
Brazil rather than USA.
GMK sent the samples to MiTo by mistake, he contacted & notified me about the situation.
He'll be shipping the caps to me on Monday with an ETA of 14-18 days for delivery.
He's supplied a couple pictures for you all, I'll take more detailed shots once they arrive :thumb:

TU3? Does that mean its a new standard color? lol

How strange. Maybe someone thought those were the joyland caps?
A side note, those xda MITO caps look pretty darn nice.
Glad to see this project is still moving along

Maybe, that would be kinda weird since it says otherwise on the baggy :))

No, GMK uses internal names for non-standard colors. Look at other renders that use custom colors to compare.

Samples are currently in transit from Brazil to Sherry :thumb:

Quick update, the caps have landed with Sherry & will be forwarded to me for pictures.

Also noticed the pics were underexposed so I updated them with better lighting.
-
I love the Tiffany blue color- looks great.
I think we need the more 4U-er legends for some contrast. I think 2U may be too hard to see.
For my vote, this is a winner!!!
-
Teal looks great, and think the grey is fine slightly darker, I think you should really go with what makes you happy though. The slightly darker is a little easier to read, but the lighter grey has always been your goal, and I think it would look really good with light grey legends.
-
I'm not as concerned with legibility of alphas, do what you think looks best!
-
to be honest.. i loved the darker grey more. but still, go for it! :p

I agree with you both- we've waited this long and I want it to be everything Switchnollie and Sherry want it to be. Honestly, I can live with the set either way.
However, blanks are one thing... if there are legends they should be a little visible. Sorry, Sherry, but Chronicler really missed as a set for this reason alone, I believe.
For my money as well, if you guys do decide to ask for a different color- can you confidently do it without seeing another sample? The delays don't bother me a ton, but at the pace of GMK on this particular project, more samples will push this into a May 2018 delivery. I do have a build I want to use this set on eventually. Just my nickel.
Seriously though Switch and Sherry- thanks for seeing this set through- it is going to be bad-ass whatever you guys decide in the end. :thumb: :thumb:
-
the current grey seems fine, but I would be okay with lighter. for me, the most important aspect is the Tiffany blue, which seems spot on - could not be happier!
-
Lighter or darker gray both ok to me, cant go wrong with this beautiful blue. :thumb:
-
I think the darker is better. More legibility, and I don't think it hurts the overall look.
-
I'd personally be okay with lighter legends as readability is really not a problem so if you rather that, Switch, then go for it.
That said, at least going by the pictures posted, I think the darker grey actually ended up matching wonderfully with the Tiffany - the grey from the shoes in real life (I own the hightops as well as the lowtops) is only very slightly lighter in my opinion so the way the samples turned out is perfectly fine.
-
I reeeaaallly like the new samples with the light gray. :thumb:
-
Will there be extras for retail sale?

Pretty sure yes. I believe Sheraton had to soak up a few extra sets and will sell them on oco.

I think the 4U looks perf!
-
I think the 4U looks perf!
strong agree
-
While I think the 4U looks good, I think 2U would provide better contrast actually.
-
As much as I like the 4U, I think the 2U may look even better.
-
I say stick with what you were shooting for in the first place, go for the 2U; the majority of people will like it no matter what, especially with the Tiffany's Blue looking so good, but it isn't worth not being happy with your own project because you compromised on your vision
-
Personally, I think it would look better with 2u, or some middle ground between 2u and 4u (3u perhaps?). But you should go with whatever you feel is most faithful to the idea you had when you first conceived the set.
-
The doubleshot samples look great to me. I'd be very happy to receive a set like that!
If you want the grey to be lighter and think that it will still be legible (i.e. not like Chronicler), then I don't mind waiting some more... hopefully GMK doesn't make it anothe multi-month process to get samples :'(
-
I do like the idea of trying out Cool Gray 3 U that was mentioned since that's a middle ground.
If it's possible & we don't mind waiting again I'd like to see how that would look since they never made a doubleshot with the lighter gray.
Just black & what we'll call Cool Gray 4 U now.
Maybe they'll make a gray that we didn't expect again & we'll like that too :p
(https://i.imgur.com/FIQMqK5.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/sIfyClj.jpg)
Cool Gray 3 U is darker & a cooler hue than Cool Gray 2 U, although kind of hard to see in the pictures since I just used the bright ceiling light for these.
-
Can't speak for everyone else, but I could wait for lighter doubleshot grays. Thanks for the update!
-
I don't think the difference will be meaningful enough to warrant another month+ long wait period, personally. However, I am more than willing to do so if others rather that, especially you, Switch.
-
I'd prefer to choose one of the options available and go with it. Seeing them made got me hyped again! Don't want to drag it out (who knows how long) for another sample that we might not choose.
-

+1, I feel the same.
-
Just curious if I wanted to order a set, do I just have to wait for originitive to stock the set or is there another channel to order through?

+1 to this train.
I would prefer to roll on with either the light or the dark that's in hand... or even take a wild-ass leap of faith and gamble with a 3U version sight-unseen. Any sort of polling of us maniacs will likely end up 9-8 one way or t'other, so I also throw my support all-in behind whatever Switch and Sherry decide to do. It's your baby and as others have said, the most important thing is that you guys like what you end up with. We're just along for the ride and seems we're nearly all good with more waiting... However, that said, this set does seem like a forgotten child for GMK and if you guys do decide to go back for more samples, I'd set my mental expectations for Feb-March perhaps?
-

If the set isn't still available for pre-order on the site you'll just have to wait until it's in stock & buy it @ retail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So for the caps :)
I think it's good to go with the new samples we have here.
If we try to get new samples with Cool Gray 3 U we don't know how long that will take GMK & they might not even make the correct gray.
Also, I feel like when dealing with plastics that aren't metallic, making it lighter just turns into an off white.
Like how trying to make gold with RGB is just kinda mustard looking.
I'll discuss with Sherry about how we'll continue.
:thumb:
-
Agreed and pleased to hear that! I'm glad things are good to go once you and Sherry okay the production, hopefully GMK isn't too swamped and can fit us in some time before Christmas.
-
Honstely, once I have them in hand I couldn't tell the difference between one or two shades lighter or darker, as long as when I get them SwitchNollie is like 'yeah, these, these are perfect' I will be like 'yeah, they are. Awesome. I'm happy because I got exactly what I wanted.' and I won't be any the wiser that maybe SwitchNollie really feels 'I wish these were .03% lighter grey without being whitish'
-
I'm interested in a spot for the GB if anyone is planning on opting out!

I think Sherry is just refunding people that are opting out so you'll have to wait for the set to be in store if you want to buy it.

I feel like I want it to be lighter but lighting is a big factor for the colors so I do like Cool Gray 4 U.
Depending on the angle, the keycap can be lighter or darker than the pantone.
All the photos I've taken were in my room with artificial light(like a studio), I have a new room now & my desk is right by a window which makes the colors more pastel.

I think making it too light may cause an issue if a room isn't properly lit. Just my two cents on it.

Dark grey > light grey
Not interested in Chronicler 2.0

The Tiffany's Blue in this second photo looks perfect with that lighting, I don't even care about the shade of grey anymore.
-
I have to agree with Puddsy, given the pictures provided I actually think the grey is about as perfect as it's gonna get right there - having the shoes right next to me, yea, the shade of the swoosh probably is a little bit lighter but I don't think it's worth risking ruining the contrast and waiting another x amount of time for samples etc.
I'd be very happy owning a full set of what's shown there in the second picture.

Looks good... can we please start this thing for the love of god!? :P

Alright, we'll be going with Cool Gray 4 U & the blue that we've been receiving.

It will be interesting to see if these are produced.

I don't thnk it's ever worth it to pay more money for something than less.

Depends on what you do with the money. If you had put your $155 into BTC in August 2016 instead of K&Co (which appears to still be not in production???), you'd own 0.246 BTC which would now be worth $3,444 based on a low trade price of $14,000. This isn't taking into account cap gains, but nor is it taking into account the various splits that have occurred.
We're on month 15 of a 4 month group buy. Sorry if my cautiousness feels unwarranted to you.

I don't think it's unwarranted, but if you are going to buy it anyways you are just choosing to pay more and wait longer, which is fine, you are free to want to pay more. I don't.

You're intentionally misstating things to make me look ignorant. It's rude. Stop.
I don't want to pay more. I generally buy into GBs that I want when they're announced. I bought into this one.
Most GMK GBs don't take 18+ months for fulfillment - which is where we're at if Sherry paid for the caps today. It's worth $30 to me to not float Sherry a 0% loan from Sept 2016 until he decides to finally pay for K&Co.
-
I'm not misstating anything, and I'm not saying anything that would make you look ignorant. You literally said you decided to wait to buy this set at retail for a higher price. If I have to wait anyways I would rather pay the lower price

His (extremely valid) point is that we're all loaning Sherry a nigh hundred orders of $160+ each at 0% interest with little to no word on when we'll see the fruit of our investment, doesn't take a genius to realise that.
Do I regret being in on the buy? Not really, love the set as much as I did when the IC started. Would I rather pay Oco's markup on sets that are in stock whenever it does arrive rather than having $170 somewhere in bitspace (or rather, someone's bank account, be it Sherry's or GMKs) since September 2016? Abso****inglutely rofl. It's not even remotely close. The valuation of my money would have to be pretty skewed for that to be something to even ponder.
To each their own however, of course!

Wait, so I'm the only one that doesn't want to pay more than I have to for this to get it at the same time, if not earlier than retail? In my mind this is paid for and I'm just waiting for the product at this point, I don't see how you guys would have rather paid more to get it later than we are for the cheaper GB price. That seems totally backwards to me. In this case I know that I will get it, I know it is paid for, and I know that I will get it "early" compared to retail, and I don't have to worry about whether or not I will have, or need to budget for, the funds when this hits retail, for me it is a no-brainer... I get it cheaper, and I get it sooner, than retail

Yeah, but you are also out $160 already. The point is, there is always GB and other things going on that ppl want. Why tie up money in something that doesn't require it to save like $10 and a few days shipping? Sure a few days early is nice, but how long has the wait been now? Does a few more days REALLY matter at all? Unless you REALLY REALLY need to post your pictures before the other people who bought the same thing (which YOU DON'T need to do, though you may want to).
If there is something else I want, say next week, I would much rather have an extra $160 in the bank to buy it and x months to get the funds back in time to buy keps which for me is a no brainer. There is always more money next month, it's all about what I have to give up to buy it right now.

I think the big thing for me is that I know I'm going to get it without needing to budget it down the road/worry about potentially forgetting to look out for it amidst a million other things I'm watching out for/money I spent over a year ago doesn't matter to my finances today, it's said and done, I spent the money so I don’t have to think about that money anymore, and if the project goes tits up and I get refunded it will be like bonus money I will have, like I found $160 on the ground. I'm not really a picture guy, it’s not about being able to show it off before other people, but at the end of the day I would still rather pay less and get it sooner, coupled with, moving forward, not needing to worry about it and knowing I’ll get it when it finishes. That makes it worthwhile to me.

I think we're getting quite off topic and we need to get back to what's important.... updates on the gb please!!!!!! :thumb: :thumb:

Can't wait to get my set in. I've been selling off most of my sets to pay for my upcoming wedding, but this one is going into the permanent collection... I think it has a home on my Jane R1.

at the time the GB launched my wallet had a hole in it. would gladly pay oco markup once this set is released. I'm really intrigued with the R5 profile. can you still flip the spacebar on that?

I emailed him at Originative about an address change and asked for a status update last week, and heard on Dec. 29 that "Currently, I know that the sets should be about ready. We will need to communicate with GMK after the holidays for the progress and a ship date. They're on vacation currently."
So hopefully some more good news to come soon!

No, the true Christmas miracle is that Sherry forgot to raise the price back up. They're not listed on the main page, but if you get to the right page through Google you can still buy in.
I did earlier.

Once it's officially in stock and sorted, the price will go up. slightly elevated price for pre-order is normal.

I received a shipping notice earlier today as well.

So, anyone that didn't get a shipping notice get the set yet? :)

Mine arrived (https://shados.net/files/kb/gmk_keyboard_and_co/arrived.jpg). I like how the colours turned out, didn't go too dark with the grey but it's still entirely legible in-use :).
Also, the labeling on this (https://shados.net/files/kb/gmk_keyboard_and_co/tiffany.jpg) still amuses me.
-
So, anyone that didn't get a shipping notice get the set yet? :)
I haven't - according to the latest KBDist update Sherry said they were about 50% shipped and seeing as I always join GBs as late as I possibly can, if they're going off of order number, I'm probably right at the bottom of the queue; understandably so.

If anyone has an extra I would be interested. :)

GMK doesn’t do a lot of blanks. The only recent set that consisted of mainly blanks was Mondrian and it only had 1U and 2U pieces. It also took a few tries to get through the GB phase because the MOQ was tough to hit.
I’m hoping for more of those and convex 2.25u and 2.75u for split spacebar boards.
GMK 80s kid has blank black keys for spacebars, but I think anyone who bought the set would be using them.
More of these things seem to be coming but are probably a few years off.

are you me? I would have paid a little extra to split up shipping and get the space bars later.... but that would probably be annoying to keep track of if a lot of ppl wanted to do that.

When they said it would take a couple weeks to ship orders with spacebar kits, did they mean months? are these spacebars still awaiting production?

Guess they did, I mean I'd assume shipping the space bars later at their own cost would be the way to go if they wanna keep customers happy but I've been waiting for so long that I'd even forgot I had this coming in until I saw the thread bumped.
-

I was informed that the spacebars will be here this month.
So they're done with production & awaiting shipping I presume.
