[GB] GMK Yuri

[ChitownM2]

I sure hope that MD does the right thing by the community and put through the order for 1000 base kits. As I understand it, that 935 # was posted with a couple hours still to go in the GB so the actual number should be slightly higher. That doesn't include any extras that MD will always buy to cover customer service issues like lost sets or whatever. Factor in that it is actually less total cost to buy 1000 kits than 935 and it seems like a no brainer for MD to buy the extras and give everyone $10 back and sell any extras in yanbo closet sales at some future date.

So I saw this earier posed on the MD discussion page and it seems that they definetly should have reached that 1000 unit tier for sure since they're extending the GB to those with the k-type (if I understand correctly) which pretty much opens up an extra day for the GB. I gonna hope they can give me my 10 bucks back... So I can go spend it on other things...

Saw that too. I'm in the same boat, I got 2 yuri sets and my $20 are going towards carbon blanks and the half life lambdas.

Edit: the fact that they are opening it up to take a few more orders from k-type people leads me to believe they already have or were planning to put the order for 1000 through.

That's quite nice of Massdrop to try to amend their "mistake" - I wonder if it'll be enough for Yuri to reach 1000, it might well be but at the same time I'd imagine almost everyone that really wanted it would've already gotten it over the K-Type anyway if they'd have had to make a choice.

Was there ever any official word on what sets are going to get produced or if they bought up to 1000 kits?

Last I heard people were getting charged for Colemak/Dvorak & international kits but they were still a long way from the 100 MOQ.

As long as you dont get refunds everything has tipped for the time being. *Probably* MD will make every kit tip.

I just got an email from MD saying everything has been ordered with GMK!  Can't wait! Thanks for all your work on this T0mb3ry, this set/GB really turned out well imo

Got the samples in front of me and trust me i am probably the one who is waiting the most for the ready product.

You tell us you have the samples and you don't post a photo? what kind of a monster are you!?

Are you talking about the color samples you showed on the Revo?  I always liked the set until you showed those color samples, but seeing those made this set a lot more desirable to me.  Something about the renders didn't capture how nice the alphas are gonna look.

If you aren't talking about the samples you showed on the Revo, I wouldn't mind some pictures

Yes those samples Once you see it in person...

[jihadu]

The samples look right on the money! Hope the final colours in the set end up looking like this.

Those are the samples from GMK as far as I know...so the final set will be exactly those colors    Those pictures are actually what made this set a "must buy" for me during the interest check phase, the color of the alphas is perfect.

[T0mb3ry]

Depending on caused resonance after people recieve gmk sets following might be the possibility. The render is done by Oblotzky.

GMK Yuri is the best set to ever have been created. Hands down

I 100% agree. I'm actually kinda bummed I couldn't buy more kits.

Also, that board you're making T0m, that thing is gonna be freaking awesome.

[nightdriver]

wow that 3 key is really something cool!  and y'all know i love the inverse yuri escape.

Oh damn, I didn't even realize I reversed the colors from the GMK version. It seemed appropriate this way! I'm sure both will be available though should this set happen in SA

In GMK Plum for example the samples Jessica showed ended up being slightly different than the final result. Not that it matters as both Yuri and Plum are amazing looking sets.

I've got no problem getting a nice surprise later on. example: pay for sa carbon now, I get it shortly after my birthday next year. Not a good surprise?

[T0mb3ry]

All kits made into production. Thus congratulation to DC and ISO users. Probably i will tease more info later

Yes! This is wonderful news! Excited to eventually have my first GMK set with Dvorak legends.

BTW, if anyone didn't buy a DC set that wants one, I will have a couple extras... PM me

[Auk]

All kits made into production...

Excellent, great to have officially official confirmation 

I'm wondering about the ISO set now, is there a comparison table or something similar somewhere that we can conveniently reference which languages require specifically which keys?

Came to the thread to check this. So chuffed I'll be able to have Colemak on my board. Let's hope this paves the way for more Cherry DC kits.

[Theconejo]

I'm excited as DC was a huge plus to getting this set. My brother in law uses it and I don't know if he has ever had a board with the legends being in the right place for dvorak. Will be excited to see his face when he gets it. Pretty fun to get my folks and sisters on board(kek) to getting him a mech and keyset.

[Jubileus]

I was just wondering if the 6u spacebars in this are the same with the new GMK drops with centered stems?

[UTEster750]

Can not wait for SA!

[Sempre]

Will 6u spacebars work with topre boards?

[yokken]

Can not wait for SA!

Hm? Where did you hear this would be going SA? I thought it was initially proposed for SA over a year ago but I haven't seen anything saying it will be going to SA after the GMK run.

[giammin]

anyway if it will be SA with SP. it will happen not before 2019

[jihadu]

Will 6u spacebars work with topre boards?

If you do the appropriate mods and change the sliders

Yuri 6u do not have centered stems, isn't that the problem for Topre? If you need centered stem, look at Nautilus, Solarized Dark and upcoming sets.

There was this in this Nautilus thread a month ago:

As far as I know, Yuri's 6U spacebars will have a centered stem.

[Auk]

T0mbr3y answered this a few days ago on Massdrop:

Nope 6u spacebar is off center. The 6u centered spacebar is first time available with nautilus.

Man, the white balance in that picture is wayyyyy off. The light blue looks white, and the dark blue looks charcoal. It seriously looks like Carbon with white alphas, lol. You'd think they would see how different it looks in the photo compared to real life and adjust it. But I digress. Looking forward to it. I was thinking I would put it on my M65-A but right now it's looking like I might actually get Yuri before my M65-A. Sigh.

Do you think we're still looking at a mid-to-late-October delivery date, t0mb3ry?

[Auk]

Man, the white balance...

The legend color looks more orange and less red as well, vs both the original 2D render and the single shot samples T0mb3ry posted earlier. Even so, it's exciting to see some real keys and progress toward delivery!

I'd love to know how a spectrophotometer or colorimeter measures the colors, and see how close they are to T0mb3ry's original specification.
