As it stands, one would need to buy 2 base kits anyway to get 2 modifier sets (git + mono) right? Might as well vary the alpha colors so people are left with 2 sets of different colors alphas (hagoromo + grey) and 2 different colors mods (git + mono) if they are paying $260 for both base kits like you said.

Unless I’m missing something.

I don't see why this set needs two base kits. Having two base kits with the only difference being the mods screws things up in my opinion. I'm sure it saves money by having the base kits set up as you have them, but at the same time for someone who wants git mods, monochrome mods, and white alphas, I'm actually spending significantly more buying two base kits (git and monochrome) and white alphas.

I know you said that the "Git Gud" key was not included because it would cost alot more to get the molds created, but would you consider to add that as a "Git Gud" kit like how GMK Carbon did for the Salt kit? Have multiple color options for "Git Gud" as a separate kit. The salt kit was one of the 3 kits that met MOQ so I feel like if a Git Gud kit could make MOQ as well.

I need a way to tell my friends to "Git Gud".

I would love this as well.

What if you offered Hagomoro alphas + Monochrome mods as the second base kit?
Wasn't paying attention to this at first, then I stopped for 5 seconds, then I think about it, and lol that was pretty smart. Makes perfect sense.

Then getting Git mods with Hagoromo Alphas or Monochrome Modifiers with Gray Alphas would mean buying both base kits for a whopping 260$ or so. There are simply no winners

As it stands, one would need to buy 2 base kits anyway to get 2 modifier sets (git + mono) right? Might as well vary the alpha colors so people are left with 2 sets of different colors alphas (hagoromo + grey) and 2 different colors mods (git + mono) if they are paying $260 for both base kits like you said.

Unless I’m missing something.

I think it depends on use case scenario.

In my opinion, and I could be wrong, people buying two modifier sets are more likely to be buying it for two keyboards. Whereas people buying two alpha sets to get the combination of alphas + modifiers they want could just be buying it for one keyboard... It makes more sense to have the people buying for two keyboards buy two sets than the other way around, no?

My thoughts exactly, love the git mods of course, but would be great to have colored standard mod legends as an option as well. Having the git mods as a separate kit would be amazing. Nevertheless, thanks for bringing such a killer set back! Anxiously waiting till GB opens

This just feels like gmk carbon all over again. I think you should stick with whichever base kit you think best represents your vision of gmk oblivion and have all the other mods/alphas/other kits remain as add-ons.

This is probably already too far in development, but would you be able to somehow separate git mods, for Round 1-ers so they dont have to buy an extra set?

Ah well, that's just how the way things are. Money will be spent... Again. Thanks Oblotzky.

Quote from: Oblotzky on Mon, 28 January 2019, 11:52:21

I really wish I could just offer the kits split up into a more modular system like how it is done with SA/DSA buys, but that's unfortunately not how GMK operates. For GMK Oblivion R1 I initially wanted to do the same (regular mods, monochrome mods, gray alphas and white alphas) but buying one mods + one alphas would have cost 160$, while as single base kits we were able to offer it for 135$. There are very few people that want to get all the combinations possible, but most will stick to buying one base and leave it at that, so I don't want to burden the majority with the wishes of the minority.

I understand offering the base kit for $135, since that's the bread and butter of Oblivion. A difference of $25 for any other kits might be worth it given all the feedback asking for separate mods for anything that isn't the base. Laser did incredibly well with a single base kit for a great price, and a whole bunch of addons like Blocknet, Hiragana, and Gaijin. I think Monochrome, Hagoromo, and possibly Assembly (though you could easily argue this one should keep its alphas) fit the exact need as those extra Laser kits, and are more than worth the difference in price for enthusiasts interested in multiple kits.

I speak for myself, yes, but it seems to also be the case for many others posting in this Interest Check. I am in, to some capacity, no matter what; just pitching in some more ideas. People only interested in the base kit will get what they want at a great price, to get a taste of Oblivion. While those of us seeking more exotic choices will benefit from being able to pick and choose in addition to what's in the base, at a price we're willing to pay.

Also i just realized the spacebars in most of the kits that are < 6u are now convex (or concave?), this seems like a first for GMK (not including 2u convexes)

LevelSteam · « **Reply #177 on:** Mon, 28 January 2019, 22:25:31 »

I was in the original GMK Oblivion group buy and to be honest I think that having the sets split between two different base kits was a big problem.

Neither set made MOQ on their own (I don't remember the exact final numbers) but were produced thanks to jchan filling in the difference. Obviously we don't want a GMK Carbon R2 situation either where there are just a *ton* of child kits, but wouldn't it be better to have a single base kit (probably the git version) and then have the monochrome mods as an additional kit?

In any case I'm glad to see this getting a re-run and I will be in for a base kit and Hagoromo kits.

It's always cited as something that'll be hard to hit MOQ, but this might just be the most popular GMK set we've had in a while, if not now, then when?

Any way we could get an extra pair of r4 1.5 mods for the assembly kit? Otherwise I'll probably join and just buy the base and assembly like with calm depths.

I'm in the same boat. I have a Sol and a Boardwalk and they both need four R4 1.5u key caps to complete my layout. It seems like a popular design choice for the ergo boards that have been coming out lately. It would be great if i didn't have to buy a base set for two key caps.

Either way, huge fan of Oblivion! I'm in for at least one set.

Seconded. And one further: DHm. That was supported by both Susuwatari and Godspeed MT3. I bought both.

Or offer a Japanese legend only kit. I would be happy with that if Colemak is not viable.

I know GMK is always tons of keys and most you will never need, but I am more concerned with price to cover a layout than having excessive plastic. I would be happy if alpha kits and mods get separated. Also: Git mods for ortho please.

Monochrome base looking like a snack

Oblotzky · « **Reply #199 on:** Tue, 29 January 2019, 06:16:52 »

Smol update. Mainly, I removed the red accents from Monochrome Base Kit. They were overlapping with GMK Honeywell too much.

With that, I also felt comfortable merging the ISO parts of the Base Kit into the NorDeUK kit, as there's now just 3 ISO returns left instead of 4. This should also increase the likelihood of that kit happening, as people can't cheap out for physical ISO support via the Base Kits now. It's all or nothing now, with less burden on the ANSI folks.

I am now pondering how to solve the 'Monochrome Mods separate pls'-issue. If I counted correctly, that would be a 38 key kit, which is pretty good. More people being merged into the Git Base Kit could also lead to another price break of that, which could be 10-20$. So at higher MOQ's, I could see the Git Base being 119$ or even 109$, and with Monochrome Modifiers on their own for 60$ or so be a solid 180$ish price. My main beef with this however remains that you won't be able to buy just Monochrome Modifiers + Hagoromo Alphas, as you would have to buy the Git Base just for the TKL nav keys (arrows, del/insert/pgup/pgdn/function row etc).

I will continue keeping this updated and improved upon.
