[IC] Dolch Green ESC

[Latin00032]

I plan on picking this up as an extras option when I attempt full set GMK Dolch soon.

Would your gmk dolch set have support for 60% or a hhkb layout?

Not that I'd be interested in it or anything like that.

[avtar]

Not too far away. Just need to work with GMK to try and get the base set to $100 or less without loosing anything 'essential'.

Thank youuu!

[IvanIvanovich]

Dolch set will be very similar in key selection as what was tried in the all grey set buy but some keys will be cut to drop that extra $20. Some of the 'fun' non essential stuff will be moved into the extras pack along with the white/cyan alternates proposed in here.

[avtar]

Do you think it would be possible to get just alphas of that dark grey colour? Either as an add-on for the future Dolch group buy or later as a separate one? That way whoever signs up for the Dolch group buy could get a second keycaps set by ordering the extra alphas.

Curious about the odd legends on the home cluster and no text on the mods. Is that staying? I assume that's what everyone preferred in the previous IC?

[IvanIvanovich]

Text free mods will stay as long as there is an ISO options, because 1.25 with 'shift' on it looks crazy, and having one with and one without looks bad too. If there is no text on shift, there might as well not be any text on others either. Having multiples of the same keys is dumb and not cost effective. What is weird about the nav cluster?

Sounds good on the mods, looking again it looks nice.

My bad on the nav cluster I was referring to a mockup someone put in the spacebar GB thread that I thought they had just taken from your GMK GB that fell through. Looking at your OP I see they are standard, phew. They look great. Here's what someone else posted.

Excite!

And hope for June deadline as I have run out of money this and next months.

[tmk1207]

Totally in.
originative still left me stranded with no GMK keyset

[tjweir]

I'm in, excited to see what the add-on set.

[Elrick]

Anything to be made by GMK I will be in it  .

Just name the date when this Group Buy will start, and I shall be there with my wallet.

Yup, me too. I'm broke as hell at the moment but I'll always find a way to save for GMK goodies.

[IvanIvanovich]

Just waiting on pricing and updated mock ups from GMK. As soon as I have them I will start up the groupbuy.
For this kit, it will have 2x variation of Esc white/cyan and cyan/dark grey, white on cyan ▲ style arrows WASD replacement, cyan on grey F J, white on cyan ANSI ISO and NP enters, 1.25 and 1x cyan on dark grey win8 keys.
There will be a Dolch base set that will be around $110, a F'n'A rows pack, and an 'odd' mods+nav pack for minila, fc660, choc mini, keycool 84, Pure Pro/Tex, Race, 5000, 1800, and etc.

Any purple keys?

I'd love a black/purple esc key.

[IvanIvanovich]

No purple this time, but I do like that idea.

Excellent news! Can't wait Ivan!

Think about it for a future GB.

Oh Ivan, this is the BEST news of today that I've read thus far.

PLEASE make it so  .

[yicaoyimu]

Excited! Even though I already have a Dolch set, I can't have too many of them. In for sure.

You are so right, once you go Dolch there is no turning back  .

Will this include Choc Mini spacebar?

[IvanIvanovich]

No, the odd mods pack won't include any spacebar, well except for minila or JIS keyboard that use but it's actually just a normal B profile key like a shift. GMK says they don't have any spacebar profile keys smaller than 6.25 and nothing in B profile over 3. At least with Choc it's the same profile, even if it's not the same color, at least it's easier to live with on feels.

got ya, I figured as much. Thanks for the info.

[avtar]

Ivan, any chance the Dolch set could include a 7u spacebar and/or an option to order extra spacebars?

[IvanIvanovich]

Base set will have 7x winkeyless stuff too. Extra spacebar separate could be possible for sure.

[avtar]

Awesome! Thanks

Hello i am newbine. I don't understand which you wrote

"2x variation of Esc white/cyan and cyan/dark grey" is mean ESC white on cyan & cyan on dark grey?

"white on cyan ANSI ISO" is mean white on cyan mods + nav?

What color is NP?

Can you help me ?

Thanks

[archer]

So this is no longer just an IC for a cyan ESC key, right?

Now we're talking an entire dolch set? along with some other cyan-colored extras?

Either way, count me in! I could always use another GMK dolch set! 

[Elrick]

Either way, count me in! I could always use another GMK dolch set! 

This person is right, just want a GMK key-set to go through and finally be made.  Would that be too much to hope for?

Agreed.

[IvanIvanovich]

You guys will see what everything is really soon. Just waiting on GMK to get back to me... working to resolve some legend/key size combination that I requested for that don't seem available. If the alternate I suggest are not available either, there will be some pad printing but nothing really major.

I'm totally in for this.  Surprised I only saw this IC now.

[Elrick]

Okay Ivan we will wait, but you know what that is like here on Geekhack, waiting is what no cap-head wants to hear.  Patience is a dirty word amongst most of us here.

Yeah ivan can you set time? example like June....

[ApocalypseMaow]

In for Esc, WASD, Enter, F5-F8, entire nav cluster.

This This This!!!

[IvanIvanovich]

I expect to have quotes and everything next week some time. We got all the legend stuff settled.

Just want to finally see a GMK complete key-set here.  I won't buy anymore SP rubbish until this one key-set has been accepted and made by GMK.  That is my hope and furthest desire in seeing this happen finally.  We have not had a decent all GMK key-set made for years.

Time to end our misery and dread Ivan and make sure this one gets put through GMK's molds as soon as possible  .

[IvanIvanovich]

I think it will make it. Even the all dark grey set came really close and I know no where as near as popular as Dolch. If we can get big Korean and Chinese keyboard forums to participate too it will be no problem for sure... might even hit into the 400 tier.

That dark grey

[IvanIvanovich]

I know... maybe sometime later we can do a little alphas kit to make mono set to interchange with Dolch.

There was a Dolch group buy in Korea not too long ago and a China forum was in it too. I doubt that this group buy will get many orders from China or Korea. But it should still hit MOQ very easily.
