No 3a/3c spacebars?
Can you please do R0 top row?
Very nice!
Its hard to tell from renders, but i assume same color codes are being used.
Some important things that are being left out:
-green & red spacebars
This is the most popular beige set, so i dont like changing icons. For example the windows logo keys are now super instead. Really dislike this change.
Also change back to the Caps-lock logo.
Maybe do a add-on kits that contained:
-red + green spacebar
-red + green f5-f8
Simular to the addon kit that was sold with GMK Muted. It shouldnt have any problems meeting MOQ.
Overall - why are you making changes to the things people like with this set? Caps lock icon, windows icon, super.
Innovation for innovations sake is not needed.
125€? I'll take three :thumb:
I would definitely be in for this. Providing 3A/3C spacebars are added.
If you doing spacebars, i really suggest you doing it as a addon kit.
It would be nice to have red + green spacebar in 6, 6.25 and 7. Including 6 spacebars in basekit will make it so expensive.
Also, spacebars are something that people like to stock up on, since it's something that gets shine first.
Any chance for an Asian Proxy? Am Sure alot of Aussies are interested, but normally shipping is crazy and kills the buy.

Can be looked in to! Do you perhaps know anyone who has been an Asian proxy for GMK sets before? :)

You could always ask someone like kbdfans (china) who already has a storefront.
Can you please do R0 top row?And R5 bottom row?
Can you please do R0 top row?And R5 bottom row?
Another Aussie here.. definitely in 100%. Was going to get into GMK laser but now this is up I am saving my keycap $$ allocation for this
It should be faster to get to GB right, since the set already exists and everything?

Another suggestion could be to change the stepped ctrl + ctrl (in caps space) to the old icon caps lock.
Yes R0 and R5 increase the retail price, not idea about how much though.Can you please do R0 top row?And R5 bottom row?
Can be looked into again, but if I'm not mistaken I remember hearing that this can be quite costly?
Will you be using the same colour codes (Both legend and base)? The 3B and 3A are so essential to many i'd believe.
Cheers for this also!!! yay
I know kekkon is looking to do R2, have you dropped him a message?

He is? I didn't know no. I assumed running this wouldn't bring any issues about either way since the colours scheme was designed by Reuters and there were no issues with Jchan running the PBT version :-X
Please run this and ignore others. And if you say you might run this in 6 months no work has really been put into it. He seems really busy with the dolch GB now.
At the end of the day, running GB is about getting it done. There will always be people who might run a set, but nothing happends until someone actually start an IC, speak with vendors etc. You're doing a great job janglad and seems to have most of it figured out.

Thank you for the support! I have indeed already done a large part :) I will make sure I'm not running into personal issues here, but I would indeed love to run this!

This will be the fastest IC => GB ever seen thanks to the work done behind the scenes. Having the keycaps in Q1 18 - i know alot of us wants and no more r mk 9009 scalpers (recently a set sold for $375)
100% in.
Any hope for international kit?

Although I personally think nobody in this community owns 9009, just like everybody can run Dolch, I don't want any drama unfolding here so yes, I will shoot him a PM :)
Will you be using the same colour codes (Both legend and base)? The 3B and 3A are so essential to many i'd believe.
Cheers for this also!!! yay
This is indeed using the L9 for the alphas, U9 for the modifiers, CR for legends and 3A and 3C for accents!

Definitely in for 1 or 2 sets. Would also like an international kit and it would be even cooler if we could get a novelties kit with some of the original Reuters legends.
(Attachment Link)
Yes, it will be an add-on kit! Will be 7, 6.25, 6 but I think adding 2.25 and 2.75 blanks might be good too for the split space users!
3B
3C
Is way better for the accents.

Modifier legends seem to be a really polarising issue :D I personally don't mind "Super" or "Code", as long as it's not a Windows icon ;D But there are people who like their icons too :confused:

That was my set that I sold for £298. Just want to clarify I didn't make any money on it. I bought it second hand from Australia for not much more than the original price plus postage to Oz, Oz customs fee/tax, plus pp fees and postage to U.K. Then sold it for the same plus my pp fee and p&p to Switzerland. These things add up. Anyway, just thought I'd clear it up cos I don't wanna be called a scalper innit.
Would you consider adding the Caps-lock logo (normal, stepped) as extras in the set?

Although I personally really prefer this symbol, the way it's looking now it will be removed altogether and replaced by the OG caps lock logo.

does this mean the GMK muted is slightly off? I thought that the GMK muted 3a/3c modifiers were supposed to match GMK 9009, but they certainly are 3A and not 3B

Really like how interactive you're in the IC thread. I can already tell this will be the smoothest GMK-run ever. Hope we see more GB from you. :thumb:
Didn't touch on it, but would you consider
-f5,f6,f7,f8 added as possible colorpack (in red + green). I think that would sell well.
(Could also add stuff like optional caps logo in here)

The smoothness of this GB will lubed Vintage Blacks seem scratchy :cool:
But nah I'm doing the best I can!! Accented F keys is an option, but damn this is going to be one hell of a big kit then :(
tl; dr
But interested and want the purse Caps Lock cap.
Also, don't get too ahead of yourself. I was in the original 9009 GB and ended up cancelling because justnits promised his GBs would be different and on time, but there were months where there was no word. I got worried and cancelled.
Of course I kick myself now, but at the time I had no idea what was happening.

No, could do a small kit and sell by itself:
1rst kit: spacebars
2nd kit: x8 f5-f8 keys.
I dont think the 2nd kit would be all that expensive. (20-30 usd?)
It's not the price that I worry about, but MOQ and just the overall complication of adding more kits.
It's not the price that I worry about, but MOQ and just the overall complication of adding more kits.
Not sure if you've considered my earlier request or not, but having one main kit, accents kit and space bar kit seems most reasonable and going by the looks of other previous group buys outside of massdrop. Keeping it to three kits total.
What I'm currently thinking is having the base kit pretty similar to how it is now, and having one extra kits with both spacebars and extra accent keys like the f keys.
Could be improved compatibility with:
- Numpad 00
- A 2nd R4 1u Ctrl
I'd also prefer the padlock style caps lock over down arrow. Really like the simple 1.5u backspace over the stupid blocky arrow.
I know 9009 in basically sacred at this point/the kit(s) are already locked most likely and that without it being ran on Massdrop this is nothing but a pipe dream but I can't help but wish there would be a small kit made so that one could go for full icon mods; as in the bottom row too, like T0mb3ry did with Yuri's icon mods kit.
Either way, this is an instant buy of course, especially at 120€ through mykeyboard. Great job and thank you!
Ooh wow I forgot those moulds existed! I would personally also like to see this but I'm just afraid more people would want it as is :/
Also, please keep in mind that the price is just a guideline. Nothing is set yet, all depends on the response from GMK.
Considering going back to the old Caps Lock icon and replacing "Super" with Windows icons as suggested by Avid

I'm sure that's the case, I still wonder how much the price would be driven up if you were to include like 10 of those bottom row icon mod keys with the potential space bar/function colour kit you're making - wouldn't have to go crazy with compatibility, just standard and WKL or something like that. Maybe there'd be enough interest to warrant an extra 10 bucks or something.
Of course, even if it ends up being more I'm still in, was just referencing the estimate you gave!
Definitely in for 1 or 2 sets. Would also like an international kit and it would be even cooler if we could get a novelties kit with some of the original Reuters legends.

I will see if I can make it into an addon kit, maybe combining it with extra accents since I really want this too. But dang, so many people want so many different kits :eek:

Yeah working on redoing the kit design right now. Just can't stop from thinking what would happen if we have say 160 basekit orders and 60 "extra" kit orders. This would mean the extra kit would fail, making say 20 people drop out of the base kit too. Of course buying 10 extra sets isn't an issue, but you get what I'm saying.
Do you think it would be fair to say that people can't drop out of the basekit because of a failed extras kit? With something like an international kit I would be very much against this but with this I don't really know since it doesn't add any compatibility.
Well I don't know, worth thinking about. I just really want to see this set succeed :)

What is extras kit?
I truly belive space bars should be sold in separate kit since ppl buy multiple kits due to faster shine.
The big appeal with a big modifier kit with yuri was that you could buy acryllic alphas and complement with mod kit (icon).
Why not run a base kit + a color accent pack? The base kit could be icon black on beige, with the accent pack consisting of any colored keys.
9009 is only really special because of the few pastel colored keys. There are tons of black on beige Cherry GMK sets (KA 1957, Classic Retro, etc). An accent pack would allow all of those, as well as any OG Cherry sets to be turned into a 9009 set.
Would love to see two base sets available. One with only icon mods, the other with icon+text. Both would tip.
I would want one of each! I like icon for the classic look, but then I like text mods for the better spacing on the larger keys.Would love to see two base sets available. One with only icon mods, the other with icon+text. Both would tip.
icon + text is not as nice. If you want that there is classic retro, which is a perfectly fine set.
The beauty of 9009 is the nice icon mods.

Wouldnt it be better to focus on one base-kit? For those that want non-icon, check out classic retro. They have icon + text.

Do you really think both would hit 150 MOQ? We're not selling this on MassDrop :P Well, you sure have a lot more experience with this than me haha. Just don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

As you all can see i am voting/call here for both version of mods because whole community is like 50/50 about only icon and icon+mods modifiers. Its all subjective but calling one of the version being superior to another is wrong. 150 moq with the latest hype of 9009 is pretty easily reached.
Why not run a base kit + a color accent pack? The base kit could be icon black on beige, with the accent pack consisting of any colored keys in both Icon + Text version for maximum compatibility.This is indeed a nice idea.

I don't get how GH is alwas so hyped about text + icon mods.
Caps lock arrow and just text on the bottom row looks the cleanest.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/mh8MlkN.jpg)

Does the US proxy ship to Canada?
I tried to order a shirt on there just to check the shipping costs and it seems like they only ship stickers to Canada.
Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?
Perhaps do an extension kit for colors/spacebars/fkeys AND R5 mods :O. I'll buy one either way just cause i figure i should have at least 1 beige set, but I've been wanting to try R5 mods, If nothing else I think it would be worth at least trying to do a 9009 R5 (and R0?) kit?
I'd be very disappointed if the downward arrow on capslock was changed for the purse. That's one of my favorite things on 9009.

janglad: Run it like you intended to do, it doesn't get much better than your original renders.
For those who want text, or text+icon => there is other sets to buy. This one is so rare, and changing the modifiers move this set away from what 9009 is.

Oh, does it really?
Im not talking about that. Im talking about the 9009 r1. If you look closer, there isnt many "deal" "quit" "interrupt" "cancel orders" etc etc keys in this GB and no one asks for them for a reason.
A serious question for you: Why dont you buy GMK classic retro + color mods (from this) instead? Classic retro is available today and you get the modifiers you want.
Will there be a NorDe/international/german kit available?
Sorry if the question has already been asked, but I didn't find it while reading through this thread.
If yes, I'd definitely be in !

It's on the first page of this thread. And yeah, it sucks. I wonder what the MOQ would be for such a kit. This set is so goddamn nice, I'm wondering if it's really impossible.
Would spacebar kits be a possibility to accommodate split space boards? Many people are keen on split space especially after the bananasplit groupbuy and I would kill for GMK 9009 with blank 2.75u, 2.25u, and 1.25u keys.
You do a great job by adding R4 1.5u Super! Don't ruin it by adding Windows logo key pleaseAgreed! i'm interested with this keyset if you replace windows icon with 'super' or 'code'
Can you please do R0 top row?And R5 bottom row?
Can be looked into again, but if I'm not mistaken I remember hearing that this can be quite costly?
beautiful icon mods
Kind of sad you dont consider making second base set with icon+text mods.
Kind of sad you dont consider making second base set with icon+text mods.
Honestly, that would be perfect for me too since it would make everybody happy. I'm however just afraid of the scenario where both sets have too little to MOQ but would have had more than 150 combined :/ Unless people would be ok with agreeing with something like "If the icon+text set doesn't hit MOQ all orders will be converted into icon orders if the set doesn't succeed otherwise" but I don't know about that :'(
I just really don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

I will get this set anyway. So i would be glad if you could offer this. Honestly i am pretty sure it will make its 150 sets.
I'm fully aware that there won't be possible to add ergo/ortho kit like Nautilus did. So I will suggest some addition that needed for at least can cover Planck in right profile (Preonic is obviously covered too).I would add a 3rd set to my purchase to cover my plank if it had this.
From the main kit, the thing missing is only 1u Ctrl. Beside it, we can cover Planck already.
But if you try to add 2.25u and 2.75u in spacebar kit, why not adding 2u and 2x 1u too? Planck is already in thousands number sold, I dare to say there are more Planck + Preonic compared to split space keyboard. GMK even have the convex version of R4 2u and 1u ;)
And it will be nice if the accent arrow is happening since it will add some beauty and make it 'real' 9009 :thumb:

Simply rerun the same successful old kit, asking what people want to add, not what they want to remove.

I agree. Except don't go crazy adding everything.

Minila friendly?
Separately accent kits would be better cost wise.
It's better to sell colored spacebars as a separate kit, since i know many will want more than one set.
Icon mods are pretty much a 50/50 yes/no. As much as I want it I think it will have to be dropped.
Yuri icon modsIcon mods are pretty much a 50/50 yes/no. As much as I want it I think it will have to be dropped.
Does this refer to dropping the Yuri icon mods kit or icon mods in general?
Dude, the set you posted renders of on first page is perfect. Just run with that :)
Text + Icons is already covered by classic retro no? (https://originative.co/products/classic-retro)
Keep the super mods and the 9009 accent keys in the base set and put the colored space bars and led keys in kits.
That’s a relief, I thought you were seriously considering doing text mods. I would buy the Yuri kit, but it isn’t a big deal if it doesn’t run.
Just make the yuri kit an extension. Not a base kit. Then you have to buy the base regardless. Worst case yuri extension misses moq.

Nono, it would be a separate kit for sure. What I meant was that people might not want the set anymore if they hear the icon kit has failed.
Say we have 155 base kits sold and 90 icon mod kits. This would mean 90 people would not get all the kits they want since the MOQ is also 150. If of those 90 people 10 people say "sorry but this set just isn't the same for me without the icons, I'm requesting a refund for everything", then the base kit would be sitting under MOQ too. Of course getting 5 extra sets wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but you get what I mean.

Would you add Windows 10 icon keys to the LED kit? Or just go with caps lock and super as is and not having any other options?

But with the 4 page discussion in 1 day, and seeing the aftermarket price, I believe this will easily surpassed 300 base kit.
@janglad but adding another 1u ctrl so it will be a pair won't hurt, don't you think?
Yeah there sure is hype for the set, but from speaking with vendors it's really easy to get too confident just because a set gets a lot of upvotes and comments, however, the actual amount of people getting the set can be a lot lower.
Edit: and yes, the 1u ctrl can be added for basic Planck support :)

As long as you have a clear release date and a decent order window, you can't fail with this set. It's when you keep changing the release and people get unclear about it.

Anyone know for sure if the new green and pale pink accent colors for sale on originative are the same colors as 9009?

So you can get classic on oco for $180 and then pay $50 for the green and pink kits (but no space bars). Yeah, I think waiting for a new round of 9009 seems much more sensible. Although, that win95 key is tempting. It's just not $100 worth of tempting.

Wait $50 for an accent kit without spacebars? I'm not seeing that one actually :D Could you linnk me?
I just realised, by adding a kit which will have 2 1u Windows keys there would be no need anymore for an extra 1u ctrl right?
This would be ideal since the quote for this kit design is already in and I really want to get 9009 in your hands as soon as possible :D Don't want to rush it either though, so if you think adding a 1u ctrl would still be best please let me know :)
Will the keys with an LED window (if you run them) be pad printed or triple shot? I'm not sure what GMK can offer

Don't they usually double shot the top face and then pad print the front on windowed keys like that?

I don't know the other layout that use a pair of 1u Ctrl tho, but almost every GMK sets are having them, along with a pair of 1u Alt. And talking about winkey, well I'm on the OS neutral key here but aside from that, if winkey come only in 1u won't it make them awkward? I don't see the point of winkey where we already have Super key as the agnosticOS key.
So yeah, another 1u Ctrl is better IMO.

Which GMK sets have it? I just checked and Nautilus, Carbon, HyperFuse and Muted all seem to be missing it.
The kit would also include 1.25 Windows keys :)
I'm adding them because people seem to be really divided over if they want a Windows logo or "Super".

Check out GMK Coniferous. Or the ongoing Led Zep gb. Or Terminal. Those sets have great coverage. I think it's for people who use a non standard HHKB layout. Totally redundant for people like me who only use the 1us for 65%, but I assume people must have some use for em.

That would be my best guess. Those same people usually want a caps lock FN key instead of a caps lock control.
The 2 1u Alts is the really weird layout though lol. Alt Ctrl Space Ctrl Alt just seems wrong lol.

Sorry but first of all I doubt GMK has moulds for that and secondly I doubt a lot of people use that :/
You're talking about an extreme fringe key (hack). I think people would rather see x2 caps lock (purse + german) rather than a hack key.
This is excellent janglad.
Have never seen anything go this fast and you responding to everything, poll us and GB is soon ready to go?
Is this your first GB janglad?
Am I crazy or does no one care about how the numpad has no sub-legends (nav keys + arrow keys) at all? Genuine question. I've brought this up and no one seems to mind. Because I thought the side printed sub-legends looked really unique on round 1 9009. Would really like to see them return.
Well done ! Have a nice dream : )

It's mostly there for dual Fn usage. it's a universal key to make things variant. Two Fn keys are perfectly fine regardless. It's pretty much what I'm requesting, an extra 1U Fn key, not some next thing. There's no point seeing two caps lock when there's just one spot that takes it.

I also use two Fn keys with my 7u spacebar layouts, FWIW, and sets never have two :(
would it be possible to add an international kit?In my opinion, a NorDe kit will likely fail with a Classic Beige scheme as you can find regional ISO keyboards with either dyesub or doubleshot keycaps with those colours.

Can you please do R0 top row?
I will look into the pricing of this, it would sure make the set look a lot better on 75% and 96key boards! Thank you :)
Let me explain why we all need this... In the old age, when humanity knew that keyboards were very important, and an effort should be put in to make them as awesome as they could, whatever the cost, there was a distinct profile for each row:
http://cherryamericas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/12.gif
This, of course, is better for typing since the caps then compensate for the distance between them and your fingers by reaching out you. However, as time went on, more and more commoners have learned how to operate a personal computer, and commoners do not have the cognitive capacity to notice if the top and bottom two rows are the same profile or not, they probably pick with two fingers anyway. So, sadly, we have come to a time that it makes business sense to forego this vital function in the production of keyboards.
BUT, we, the enlighted souls, know better. Those that have tasted the sweet nectar of R0 have never looked back. Also, the unique profiles for each row make keyboards more beautiful, especially 75%-96% boards, since they make the landscape of the keyboard more varied, compensating for the lack of bezels inbetween keys.
The mould exist, as is known by Ivan's Miami Night's GB (RIP),
We would be talking about F1-F12,prtscr,scrllock,pause and for 96% users insert,home,pgup
Please add a 00 Key!

As you can see I have updated the original post with the slightly updated base kit and the newly added add-on and space-bar kits. Like mentioned in the post, this kit design will stay locked unless major issues are found. The changes made are
- Adding a 1u ctrl for basic Planck support
- Adding the front printed legends found on the original 9009 set
- Adding an add-on kit so people will have the option to use Windows keys and the purse caps lock
- Adding a space-bar kit with support for split space boards.
This will be put in for a second quote over on GMK. I will be sure that all pages on vendor sites will be set up as soon as possible, meaning that the set will go on sale as soon as I receive a reply from Germany! Thank you for helping to make this set a reality!
Very happy with the kits! Can't wait to place my order.
1) Was something like f5-f8 and colored arrow keys not something that was popular enough? I think this is something you can use both with this set and with any other beige sets for some nice contrast.
2) With regards to the windows logo, i think a lot of people would like and prefer the GMK classic retro symbol instead. The normal one is not as nice. Different logo shouldnt change the price quote from GMK i suppose if its being changed. The old windows logo fit in so good with a classic white/beige set.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/00vL1GY.jpg)
Can we have 1u winkeys in R5 profile at least? They would match the old winkeyless R5 sets.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/yXtlE6L.jpg)

Looked great before, and its even more perfect now. Cannot wait to splash out for this!
I know you're probably set on GMK, and I'll probably still be in for a set if it's ABS, but I wonder how many people would want 9009 in PBT.

9009 is abs double shot, the same color without highlights is already available as ePBT, you should ask someone running those GB and stock sets to issue a knockoff of the highlights, it would be all you need to have a full 9009 like set.

Jchan tried to run the pbt version of these on keyclack and they didn't hit MOQ. That's what the photo above is from

There was a GB just recently for that:I know you're probably set on GMK, and I'll probably still be in for a set if it's ABS, but I wonder how many people would want 9009 in PBT.
Please no, its GMK or bust! Can't wait for the GB phase @janglad, thanks for putting in all the work :thumb:
I surely do and I do understand why it's not gonna be added. Thanks for your reply.Can we have 1u winkeys in R5 profile at least? They would match the old winkeyless R5 sets.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/yXtlE6L.jpg)
I get the appeal of this, but you have to understand that this would add cost to this set for keys that aren't even compatible with this set.
How is this IC so long already?
Because a lot of thing are either
1. Being changed
2. Being removed
3. Being added
Like in page 4, some people including me has suggested to run the same old successful kit and just a few things that people are missing. Feels like this is not Round 2 since it has become a completely different set. Should be renamed to GMK 9009 Janglad Edition :p :p
So no 2u convex and 1u convex in spacebar kit janglad?

Hmm if I recall it correctly the Col/Dvorak kit even had issues succeeding with Nautilus on MassDrop? I could be wrong though but I remember seeing some low numbers when Zambumon shared them on Instagram.

Countries that use this key: germany, scandinavia, belgium, croatia, french, iceland, italy, portugal, spain, swiss.
So i belive it could even replay the normally included key that is used in ISO UK:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/8B16Xoh.png)

Hmm wouldn't only adding one key from that layout and scrapping perfect coverage for ISO UK be kinda weird? :/
Awesome! Is the estimated time of a few weeks something that is normal when getting a pricing quote?normally 12~16 weeks after pay the payment to GMK.

I'm trying to keep you guys updated as much as I can. I'm currently in talks with a Korean proxy as well. There is quite a lot of interest out of Korea, meaning that MOQ shouldn't become an issue for any of the kits.
However, he is estimating the purchase price from GMK about $18 higher than I did. This would, of course, be an issue price wise. I really want to keep the base price as low as possible. There are a couple routes I can explore if the quote from GMK really comes back that high. I could remove keys from the base kit (since there really are a lot, mainly thanks to all of the accents) or we could put the current price at 250 MOQ. Honestly, I really don't want to do either of those but I also don't want to turn this into a $160 base kit.
Let's hope GMK pleasantly surprises us :/

Current price at 250 MOQ shouldnt be a problem! All the accents are so important and im so happy we have colored ISO enters finally for a nice beige kit.
Take GMK Solarized dark: 387 base kit.
GMK oblivion: 466 (white + grey set) base kits
The 9009 is the most popular beige set ever. This set is also something that people will buy in multiplies, to have another beige set on hand. It will not have a hard time pushing past 250 MOQ. This is a set that currently sells for +$300 and gets picked up instantly, so dont doubt the popularity.

Yeah you're right that it probably will sell well, but it's always better to set your expectations too low than to set them too high :D

Can you ship to Thailand? I'm looking for Asia proxy right now. :))
For Australia, do I order from the Korean proxy?as i mentioned before, if janglad permit.. :D

I'm SOOOO tuned in. Not changing the dial anytime soon. Bring it.
Can we have an addon so that the function keys are all one color?
I prefer the consistency - F5 to F8 in white.
Am i the ONLY one that dislike the 2 tone colors of all the keysets being released?

I prefer to have my F-row all the same colour as my modifiers, I have GMK Coniferous waiting to go on my KBD75 and I think, especially because of the 75% layout where the top rows are parallel, the colours help break up the board a bit:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/RbzC7pP.jpg)
However if this isn't possible with this set, I won't mind too much as the 2 colours aren't as contrasting.
There is no point in offering a beige international kit, because, this color may be the one with wider international coverage, if you want to adapt your upcoming 9009 to your language just get a Norde OG Cherry set and use the keys needed to make this compatible. The Wodan's kit makes all sense in special colors that you do not have any other source for, but not for beige.

But will original Cherry beige keys match the ones from this GB exactly in color and legends? I'd hate to have the international keys stick out, even slightly.
Is there some update? ;D

Still nothing from GMK.... This is really kinda annoying since other people seem to have good communication with them right now. I'm going to submit another quote then and hope I hear back soon.........
Hey I'm actually getting some gmk renders done atm. They have been getting a lot of email about renders this week and have even pushed mine to after the weekend. They have answered all my emails though. Dunno of that helps but yea.

I know this isn't the point but I'm fairly certain that this set, even outside of MD, may be able to quite handily reach the 500 mark.

By front do you mean on top, or on the front facing side?
I think most are fine with paying a little extra. It's just 2 meal at mcdonalds, for the ultimate beige set. I mean, take led zep which recently dropped for $170.
Other sets priced Very simular:
Coniferous (150) burgundy (144) blue alert (145) solarized dark (135) oblivion (135)

Blue alert was 125 at GB phase
It's higher than expected though, the 150 base set price is €20 higher than I accounted for in the beginning.
We have to consider many various situation. MOQ and quotations, custom tex depends on country or states, exchange rate and so on. So it is so difficult to decide the price.I think most are fine with paying a little extra. It's just 2 meal at mcdonalds, for the ultimate beige set.

I'm a bit of a noob here, and this is the first GB that I've been seriously lured and tempted by. Was there some kind of Interest Check form to submit? Did I miss that part?Interest checks are run to gauge potential buyers to a product. Eventually this will evolve into a group buy, where the runner (either an individual or a business company) collects the money from the buyers and pays the manufacturer to have the wares produced. GMK has a lead time of around sixteen weeks, so you'll have to wait months before actually getting the goods you've paid for.
Why doesn't everyone just use Command (or Cmd) and the ⌘ symbol?Until recently, GMK was reluctant to make new molds, therefore every keyset made up to like early 2016, either had a windows logo or a text GUI key.
Soooo, is the group buy already over? Or is it not open yet?

If your software can't even auto format numbers, well, no keyboard will ever be good enough for you. You fix one problem, but many more remain unfixable, including the obsolete user.

Lol why are you so triggered? I don't use the key either, but it would be nice to use this set on my Ducky Pocket. It would enable another keypad layout with only 1 key. Out of the 10+ keysets I have, only 1 of them have the 00 key. It wouldn't be my choice for a keypad layout, but what's the point in arguing about it?

oi guys, chill.
so, any estimates? the set seems perfect to me.
unless something huge comes up
God damn guys, I never thought humans could have such a heated discussion about a damn numpad key :P
Anyway, I have just discussed EU pricing and unless something huge comes up this will be it:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mTRKLW7.png)
Assuming that includes VAT, even with the shipping on top of it that seems quite fair.
It does include VAT, all 21% of itI guess Germany's VAT is applied rather than Belgium's. So it should be 19%, unless I'm missing something.
Nope, GMK sells without VAT to Mykeyboard. David then pays 21% Belgian VAT.It does include VAT, all 21% of itI guess Germany's VAT is applied rather than Belgium's. So it should be 19%, unless I'm missing something.
Also, I'm still waiting on a reply from GMK about the customs label before we can dig into the US pricing. I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but I'm also setting up a Chinese and a Taiwanese proxy. I was able to set up a deal with GMK about shipping to more vendors than regular :)
Having vendors in the US, Europe, Korea, Taiwan and China makes a small small part of me think we can reach that 500 MOQ mark and bring pricing down even further :)

VAT is consumer only, so just retract it from the price. Depending on where the US seller is, he then just have to add sales tax if he's in a state that requires it.

Anyway, I have just discussed EU pricing and unless something huge comes up this will be it:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mTRKLW7.png)

That's human fer ya :))
the euro pricing seems okay for me.. it's a borderline tho.
how about US Pricing?
US pricing is 99% final. I will probably release it tonight or tomorrow. I should have the Korean pricing tomorrow too! This is getting super close now guys!!!! #hype

By releasing "it" tonight or tomorrow I assume you mean the final US pricing correct? That's what I assume you mean but I'm wishfully thinking you might potentially mean the actual buy.

I do! EU and US are pretty much 100% ready to launch now, Korea should be tomorrow. The Taiwan/China proxy isn't finalised yet though. Like I said, GB should be really really close :) :) :) :)

WTF my mind is playing tricks with me! I'm quite sure this set have them removed. Or am I dreaming...?
Great news, let's go! :thumb:
Actually surprised by the great price!
Will GB be up this week?
I don:t know exactly but similar with Korea. Maybe about 3.5euro/base set, about 1~1.25euro/small kitGreat news, let's go! :thumb:
Actually surprised by the great price!
Will GB be up this week?
Yeah either that or next week! Depends on when I get a reply about TW/CH pricing (the main reason they didn't give it to me yet is because of the unknown cost shipping from GMK to them. I asked GMK about this days but they have yet to reply. If anyone here has experience with shipping costs from GMK to Taiwan please hit me up :) :) :) :) :) :) ).
Either way, I'm glad you like the pricing!
How do I go about buying through the Korean proxy?
How do I go about buying through the Korean proxy?Probably check on the kbdlab thread
How do I go about buying through the Korean proxy?If you want to join this GB in Korea, please let me know. I will calculate cost for you.
Would it be better for Australians to buy from the Korean proxy or the American Proxy? Muricas shipping hurts >.<maybe singapore proxy will be in charge for AU and NZ. And regarding price, you have to consider as below...
I can handle the Chicago peeps. Just the Chicago peeps.

maybe singapore proxy will be in charge for AU and NZ. And regarding price, you have to consider as below...Whoa, whoa. There's going to be a Singapore proxy?
In case of Korea, we use the bank. So no additional fee. But if you will join to Korea, maybe you use the paypal and additionally paypal fee will be charged. So you have to consider these cases.

Sadly, I don't think full fledged 40% support is a viable option with GMK sets right now. However, I will add some 2.25u and 2.75u blanks to the spacebar kit for split space users :)
i heard about singapore proxy, is that true ?

WHOA COOL! Definitely in!
My 2cents:
1. Fn in accents is too much when you already have esc, enter, and spacebar.
2. I think lower raise as accent is a better option rather than plain, since there aren't R3 enter accent either (planck will only get esc and spacebar, provided he/she use R2 esc and MIT). So lower raise accent is more universal.
3. R2 1u Tab and this will be perfect! (Please)

1. For a minivan the Fn key is in the same spot where generally an enter key is. Reason for that choice.
2. Potentially although we don't want to change too many keys, we also think having the esc and accented space is plenty.
3. Then we would have to make an R3 Esc, the R2 Esc is shared by the jd40, minivan, core, and the planck in some layouts.
Hope this clarifies our design choices.

Ah it all make sense now! Thank you for clarifying! I'm still in the "accent low-raise boat" tho. Maybe scrap the beige ones alltogether and provide only 1 option like pink lower green raise and thats it, having color option is much better tho but I understand the price issue.
In for a base, add on, and spacebar kit.Same! I am so randy baby Yeah!
GMK does not have molds for convex 2.25u or 2.75uSadly, I don't think full fledged 40% support is a viable option with GMK sets right now. However, I will add some 2.25u and 2.75u blanks to the spacebar kit for split space users :)
Are those merely blank shift keys, or will they be convex spacebars?

Unfortunately, there is no Canadian proxy and when I spoke to Dixie Mech, he mentioned that shipping would be pretty high. Roughly $50-60 ish. With duties and taxes the price climbed way too high. So I just ordered and sent it to a family member in Pennsylvania. Asked them to bring it up the next time they are here.

Yeah I talked to him today and I think he got it sorted out. Shipping is much higher than I’ve paid in the past when ordering through Massdrop or Originative, so I need to decide if it’s worth it or not.

09/09/17 update
Haven't heard from our German friends yet, but I have secured a Korean proxy! This will be done by Cocobrais who you may know from GMK Burgundy and some damn cool Korean customs! He guarantees the sale of 75 base sets, 50 space-bar kits and 50 add-on kits (meaning that he'll buy them out of pocket if he doesn't sell that many). This means that MOQ shouldn't be an issue for any of the kits :thumb:
06/09/17 update
Thank you for all of your input, the final quote has just been put in at GMK! I expect the response to take a couple of weeks. The GB will go up ASAP after I receive the response though! Thank you for all your support so far, I hope this trend continues into the GB so we don't run into any MOQ issues :-*
Whatttt is up my fellow keeb lovers!!
With its classic beige tones and stylish splash of colour, the 9009 colourway designed by Reuters in the 90's has sure made an impression on this community. So much in fact, that the set is going for insane amounts of money on mechmarket. This really pains me everytime I see it since I absolutely adore simple sets like this and I know I'm not the only one not able to splash the cash on it.
There was a PBT GB on KeyClack some time ago but frankly, it really didn't look the same :( . So I decided to spend some times on getting things set up for another round of 9009. I am in talks with vendors for both the EU and the US, Dixiemech.com and mykeyboard.eu respectively, both of which are great guys and have been super helpful in this process. David from Mykeyboard will also be supplying matching keyboard sleeves and cables on both his site and on Dixiemech, both of which are handmade in Belgium :) .
I have already put in a quote about a week ago, and am waiting for a response. Don't worry, you won't be paying $180 for a GMK set here folks! The price range I'm trying to aim at is $140-150, this might not seem super low but please keep in mind that the USD-EUR is going down again and that we will be paying all necessary tax, something that doesn't seem to happen much in this community. This can make a 21% revenue difference :p Either way, all is depended on GMK's quote. Let's hope they pleasantly surprise us :D
I have also put in some time making renders on boards and to show off the kit design.
Tl:Dr:
What? Another run of GMK 9009, the classy colour scheme used on Reuters trading boards .
When? Depended on feedback and GMK's supply, but a lot of work is already done. September seems like an achievable goal.
How much? Depended on the quote we get from GMK, trying to keep it at $140 in the US and €125 ish including 21% tax for my fellow Europeans.
Updated Kit Design
Please consider that since price is an issue not everybody can get all specific keys they want. After going through all advice and feedback I genuinely feel like this is the best balance between the number of keys and cost I can give you. I hope everybody understands that if I added every key all people wanted this would turn into a €200 base kit, and I'm probably not even exaggerating here. Unless there are major issues found in this kit design it will stay as is, tweaking this for ages will only slow down the process of running this GB.
