Title: [GB] GMK WoB 40s, Colevrak+, R0/R5 | Shipping
Post by: ttom on Sun, 22 March 2020, 11:55:11
Discord for updates: https://discord.gg/eGnjxGx (https://discord.gg/eGnjxGx)

Introduction:

The current GMK White-on-Black sets available on Drop and Originative have great coverage, but still miss out on providing coverage for many different layouts. The idea behind these kits is to add some more compatibility options to this iconic set that aren't currently available, that we have been seeing in recent extension kits. The keycaps are CR with WS1 legends, matching with GMK WoB of course.

When?

The GB will run from Monday 23rd March through to Friday 24th April, lasting roughly a month.

Kits:

40s
The 40s kit aims to give coverage to as many different board layouts as possible not included in the original kit. This kit gives 40s, split and ergonomic boards compatibility as well as having 1.50 backspace for split backspace users, and a 1.25 BoW tab to make GMK Minimal compatible with staggered 40s.

(full cherry profile; currently most kits have two sets of R1 and R4 instead of R0 and R5)

Extra:

My friend nvmbra is running a separate mini GB for those who want additional text modifiers for the 40s and R5 kits. These are limited availability and will not ship together with this GB.

I'll post new graphs every time I get new numbers from ttom.  I think every proxy shares their numbers with him.  But in my experience proxies never send updates simultaneously, so usually some proxies are outdated.

Please post the GB link everywhere you can think of.  Anything to help meet MOQs is good for all involved!

Can I get some advice from the folks who've been around a while? I wasn't aware of this so I ignored the WoB set. Is it like a standard keyset that gets run periodically or did I miss my chance?

It does get run periodically, so you haven’t missed your chance to get it.

There was just a preorder open for them, with shipping starting yesterday so you could easily locate a set on mechmarket probably. Bear in mind these add-ons will be shipping towards the end of the year (or early next year) so you have plenty of time to locate that set even if you order now

Sweet, thanks guys. So in case I can't find it for a fair price in the meantime, in the past has it been at least once a year? From what I gather there's unlikely to be any other Colemak opportunities for a while, gotta have patience.

Is that 1.5U Fn key not for R4? I haven't used 40% or other boards with non standard layouts so I'm not too familiar with the kit. I just want it for a bottom row to put right of spacebar.

it's r3. if you put it next to your spacebar it'll be a different profile to the surrounding keys

People aren't going to switch because, besides this kit and a few earlier kits (big designers have already suggested that colevrak will no longer be supported), GMK sets aren't going to include colevrak. GMK/designers aren't going to include colevrak because not enough people use it. That cyclical circle of failure is going to keep the sets low

The sad thing is, this GB is going to be exhibit #1 in the trial to kill Colevrak support for GMK sets. "Look, you folks couldn't even make MOQ in a dedicated GB, with the most basic colorway. And some of you even bought multiple kits." Going forward, we'll have to rely on profiles that have different MOQ structures (like KAT) to get Colevrak support.

You know I understand why doubleshot legends are so difficult to get over the line, but I don’t quite understand why dye sub should also be so challenging. That annoys me more than gmk or doubleshot caps since I feel like it’s simply a lack of effort or desire to support colevrak or other odd legends.

Well, I'll say regardless, I really appreciate ttom running the GB and giving us the opportunity. I have only one BoW set but had no problem getting two kits to show my support. I'm glad we all came together in solidarity and got us at least over the 100 mark.

Yeah, I hear you, sadly the truth. I'm already amazed that I managed to get two kits that support Colemak-DH, this one included, though GMK Pulse also has support for it I believe, sadly getting that on Drop would cost me more than $350... :confused:

I'm very happy I got in on Pulse with its ColevrakDH support. It even has multiple options for the ; key which I rarely use and have been moving around as I play with different layouts. Mito has been pretty good to us. Others, not so much. But I get it too - we're a niche and if we're not making MOQ, the vendor has to take that on.

Yes, there are plenty left.
April was an awful month for me from start to end. I didn't promote or say anything about the Mini GB too because of that AFAIK so it's understandable.

The plan is to open it up again for a bit when I have more time. Before that I'd like to wrap up my other Mini GB(only waiting on labels) and I have yet to receive the invoice for this Mini GB.

I can send you a PM when the form's up again if you want because there's no estimated time at the moment.

My understanding is only Nvmbra's separate mini GB will open back up.  Not this GMK WoB 40s, Colevrak+, R0/R5 group buy.

My friend nvmbra is running a separate mini GB for those who want additional text modifiers for the 40s and R5 kits. These are limited availability and will not ship together with this GB.

This is correct. Nothing is happening with my side of the GB - still waiting on the GMK invoice. Only units that are going to be available are vendor extras.

I'm sorry I missed this, I didn't realize how much better a GMK Cherry profile set would be, compared to the cheap Alibabab DSA keycaps I had on my split keyboard.

How do the "extras" work?  Is "Add to Wish List" and "Notify Me" on https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/gmk-wob-extensions-colevrak_1967/ what I need to do to be told if there are any available, or are they sold somewhere else?

Thanks!

For those of us who bought the 40s kit (and Colevrak+ kit) but wished for a corresponding WoB alphas kit instead of having to sacrifice a full WoB base kit, look no further than the GMK JIS Alpha Kit: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=108328.0

Hi everyone, just a small update today. No change to production estimate as far as I know, first off. Next, I have received production renders.

40s: accepted
Colevrak+: one minor query
R0/R5: lots of problems - feedback sent to GMK. Will send the updated render here when I get it.

If you are referring with the mini kit to mine, I’m sorry for the late reply.
I don’t seem get notifications anymore.

The kit shown in the thread is no longer up to date but it went into production. I haven’t heard back from MK yet.
A few kits should be available to buy directly through MK after WoB Extensions has shipped and you’ll be able to buy single keys from me directly.

Shipping date is the same as WoB Extensions. I think Tom is still waiting for a new ETA.

I had to wait a long time on the invoice and then again some to have it shipped from MK. It wasn't automatically processed because it was a manual order.

All orders were sent off the same day I received the keycaps, last Friday. I also added some extra keycaps.
Everyone should have received them by now or they will arrive within the next few days. The tracking numbers were added to the Paypal invoices tied to the respective orders.

Thanks to the few participants for your patience!
