Just out of curiosity, is there any chance of being able to buy the alphas separate? Already having Hyperfuse makes them a bit repetitive for me but I want them alphas to .arch with my Sky Dolch mods...

Why is 'Alt Gr' being used with this US ANSI layout keyset?

N9 would look great as the legend color of the accented cyan Enter if one was to put together the N9 mods from Sky Dolch and the N9 alphas from Ocean Dolch. However, it would be more logical for this cyan Enter cap to have a CC legend as CC is the base color of the Ocean Dolch modifiers.

It comes useful for people using US International Alternate Characters.

People like myself, actually. I must have forgotten about that.

For true US ANSI typists, getting extra 'Alt' caps (1.25 and 1.5) could be neat however.

The colored legends always turn me off sets like this. The readability is always going to be awful when the alphas and modifiers have different brightness, and that just makes the entire set look off visually - your eyes can't adjust. There's been so many terribly designed GMK group buys recently.

It's a good idea to apply this alphas to HF and Skydolch, but as a rule of GMK keysets, we can not seperate alphas from the whole base.

hoq · « **Reply #55 on:** Sun, 12 February 2017, 01:57:49 »

Thank you so much for your feedbacks.

N9 looks perfectly high contrast and more unified to the whole keyset, I'd like to change it and discuss it with the vendor.

Jedi · « **Reply #56 on:** Sun, 12 February 2017, 09:56:16 »

This is the one. Dolch should have been a set with this colorway. I'm going to be living out of a shared box this year it seems...
In for a set for sure.

duynguyenle · « **Reply #60 on:** Mon, 13 February 2017, 13:06:25 »

No word on whether or not a basic ISO kit will be added (at the very minimum only 4 caps needs to be added to at least allow people with ISO boards use this keyset even if we put up with having ANSI legends, just being able to put this on an ISO board would be desirable for some!)

It's really hard to add a International/Nordic support for GMK keyset, the price will go high, and even if I make a separated kit for it , it's hard to hit Moq 150.
If it's a SA keyset, it would be easier.

And for ISO layout, I can try to negotiate to the vendor.
For our basic principle is to make a most price competitive keyset for most of the people.
We have gotten the quote from GMK, if we add more keys , the price will be higher than those GMK keysets running now.

At this point I am more or less resigned to the fact that proper international legends kits for GMK sets are more the exception rather than the norm, but I would very much appreciate if you could chase up the possibility of adding just the 4 ISO keys would allow people with ISO boards put this kit on their keyboard and use ANSI legends on the keyboards that they already have.

Something like this would help immensely:

(note that the ' # key should probably be changed to | \ to use ANSI keymap on an ISO board)

I think white would not fit with the whole theme right. I prefer it as it is now.

You don't have wave but you got plenty of ocean blue, and I just love that color!

So no further breakpoint? That's too bad. Reward point system is pretty gimmicky imo. Not interested in that. Might have to give this GB a pass then.

Ok... so the Chinese version lists it at 938Y (~$137) and 838Y (~$122) if 500 MOQ is reached. I'm going to assume shipping is extra.

Is that also a mistake or is only global/english getting the difference back in zfrontier reward points?

I completely agree. I'd rather have a price breakpoint, but giving 'extra' reward points? That just means having to spend it at their shop and there's no guarantee I'll like another set they're running. I get it, it's a marketing strategy but I don't like the set that much to participate.

Hard pass, but good luck to everyone else with the buy. It is a very nice looking design.

In fact, there is no overlap keys between this 2 keyset, the colors are totally opposite.
