We need a set of White on Orange modifiers so those fortunate souls with GMK Dolch can make their keyboards look like a calculator!

Sorry for spamming the thread, but I'm still looking for a friendly ISO-user who'd be keen to sell me their unused 2.25 LShift. Please PM me!

I'd recommend waiting until after people start getting stuff to post.

He's not guaranteed to get the unused 2.25 LShift even if someone says today they won't use it. Between now and when the set ships to us, anyone could have completely different keyboards to outfit. It's best to buy now, ask later for the missing parts, and sell it if 0.00% of ISO users want to part with their pieces

Haha yup. If you buy a second set and steal the left shift, the leftovers still make a great package for an ISO user.

It's great seeing such a good number on Massdrop.

But that's okay though, because by then, you've already bought it :D

Happy when you place your order
Sad when you have to pay the credit card bill
Happy again when you receive your set :D

When you have nothing in your hands like the TA's then it doesn't matter any more........ :'(   far better to still have a bill that can be paid off quickly then having sweet fvck-all to show for it.

Bills just show what you have acquired something special hence celebrate the enjoyment of receiving these unique pieces of Art when they arrive into your mailbox  :thumb: .

I'm having a ulcer over it.  Every time I get ready to buy another keyboard - something like this shows up and completely derails my efforts. :(    I have to say I'm leaning towards "nay" ... but I'm not so sure ... If there was some sort of written guarantee that GMK will never produce this set again it might tilt it towards a sale.

I don't want to hear about this turning into the "Unicorn of keysets" (aka Poker II MX Clear.)

I'm having a ulcer over it.  Every time I get ready to buy another keyboard - something like this shows up and completely derails my efforts. :(

I know exactly how you feel. I'm taking a new approach...every time I want to spend money on a keyboard, or keyboard related accessory I take the money and put it in my savings account (as opposed to my checking). Then, I make myself wait and see if I like the money in there more than the thing I want to spend it on. I'm saving for a new car, so every bit helps. So far I have talked myself out of a HHKB and a FC660C, but both were close calls. I did cave for this though, but just one set.

Bought this set to put on a Gon I'm going to order.  Now if I could just settle on a switch type...

I just installed Dolch on my Poker II w/ Clears. GMK caps are mega tight on Clears, at least compared to the PuLSE set I just pulled. If you end up with Clears, buy some spare switches in case you rip the stems out your first few pulls :)

Been there done that. Put a GMK Dolch set on Clears... but even worse, Clears with ABOStudio tops.

Those tops are 10x more flimsy than Cherry tops. On installation, I noticed I put 2 keycaps on in the wrong place. Pulled both, and the tops sheared completely clean. Keep in mind, that I pulled them with the most gentle force I was capable of with very slow rocking.

For all intents and purposes, the Dolch set is permanently on there. It's a TKL and I'm pretty sure if I was to pull the caps off, at least 50% of the tops would shear.
