[IC] GMK Dracula — Group buy is live!

[peterned]

I can't wait to match my keyboard with my code.

Just a tiny thing, but the error module puts additional arrows on HJKL vim style, while a lot of 60%s put them on IJKL instead. I'd love to see support for both styles.

Any update on the split and colevrak kits? Want to know how much money to set aside for this...

Anyone keen on splitting the numpad from the basekit? :3

[Poesjuh]

I'm not.

Yes.
Even more so than ISO, 100%-layout users are the real vocal minority in this hobby.
Other than a few 1800 ones, how many GBs for 100%-layout kits have we had so far this year?

Yes very much so. I've brought it up before, but silence from OP makes me think it's staying in.

[Zephyraeon]

This will probably be my first GMK set, and although I don’t use ISO or numpad I’d prefer to pay for extra ISO keys than numpad with the base set.

But if the price isn’t insanely high I’ll probably buy it anyway. Need some dark caps!

EDIT: is there a more specific ETA than Q4 2019?

Morning all, quick question.

Will the Standard Kit support WKL ? Or do i need to buy the additional Accent Kit ?

Ill be adding this kit to my WKL SKB60 when it arrives and the details i have states that i need a 7U space bar.

Sorry to be a pain but your help is much appreciated.

[mrsendyyk]

Google feedback form, in case you missed it before.

Done!

Standard Kit (Core Module) looks like it supports WKL. At the bottom of the core image there is the 7U Spacebar and the Keys for WKL. Also supports split backspace if you were planning to do that with your SKB60.

[Theodoooore]

Any chance of ISO-UK support in one of the kits?

[AlcoholEnthusiast]

Any update on what month this is running?

Thirsty for updates too. I'm sure the patience will pay off

[AcidBrain]

Me dumb me need more explaining on Q4 me want keys me go now

[OmniSzron]

Damn, son. The amount of work and attention to detail in this IC is insane. Stunning.

The set looks great, too. The ERR set is magnificent in particular.

I probably won't be participating in the group buy, because I can't afford so many GMK sets all at once (and I'm getting 8008 right now), but this is a really close second. Maybe I'll cop it, if I get some extra cash before Q4.

Anyway, excellent work with the IC.

[Kingk22]

My heart wants it to be Q4 already but my wallet really doesn't

[uood5]

Any updates on ergo and colemak kits?

Yeah then I’ll know for sure that I won’t buy this. So split up kits and save my wallet from buying the set at all

Don't like to pay for couple of ISO keys? Design your own set and run it on your own. I don't see why the f**k should Finnish designer and German manufacturer cater to US/ANSI customers only.

... and you and your gatekeeping buddies are trying keep it that way?

[LXVRGS]

I mean the market is doing that on its own.

You're not using the term gatekeeping correctly.

Gatekeeping is saying something like "You're not a real mechanical keyboard fan unless you use ANSI."

It has nothing to do with not making something.

we iso boys get so many nicknames i love it

[OmniSzron]

Makes me want to be an ISO boy. Unfortunately, the Polish layout uses ANSI. :/

[SwitchKeys]

So much hype for this!

Gatekeeping
"the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something."

/r/gatekeeping community description says this:
"Gatekeeping is when someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity."

You're talking only about that identity part. The term is not as limited as you think.

There are people on this forum that say ISO users should run their own ISO-only group buys.

cause ISO+ compat struggles to hit MOQ normally so why should the average user have to pay for a region that can't even support themselves??

As a 40% ortho user, the ISO rant always seems hilarious to me. You guys don’t see us demanding that 40% keys should be in the base kit, do you?
And we’re the ones who have no problem hitting MOQ (though admittedly rarely hitting a price break point).

You’re a minority and you have to accept it as commenter above has. It almost seems like 40% is bigger now than iso. But you can rest easy. I doubt iso is leaving at this point

[nguyenhimself]

Dude I know, we’re a small (heh) minority. No big deal.
It’s the ISO people”s constant refusal of reality and ISO kit sales data that amuses me.
Vocal minority, indeed.

[chakkii]

Im an ISO user and I happily buy my Norde / International kit all the time if its available so I dont really care if its split or not because I would go for the kit anyways just make sure a NORDE kit will be available, because the last status was "it will most likely be offered"

but lets just turn this around and help the minorities and make full compatibility with most ISO kits in base kit and just throw out all the ANSI stuff and make it a separate kit Since the majority is using ANSI, the ANSI kit will also be offered 100% of time. This way the kits would 100% hit MOQ all the time and even way more ANSI users will buy the base anyways and their ANSI kit as well, ISO users will also buy the base kit and everyone is happy easy solution

[scoopbb]

lol @ the idea of "gatekeeping" gmk keycaps.

This is what I always think of when the ISO argument comes up. I would be willing to bet we have way more 40s users than ISO at this point (196 vs 37 on Jamon). So 40s users have more of an argument for keys in base than ISO does.

ISO support in base kit in this GB is four keys. There are people who will not join the GB if this minimum support is not there in the base kit. You will never have sales data of these customers.

Four keys. How many keys does 40% require that are not in ansi layout?
