Great design in the end and I ordered all sets and RAMA.  A special thank you for having the good foresight of adding the couple of extra keys needed for UK ISO in the base kit.

I explain the colors and mention in the comments that this set is inspired by my love for GMK Honeywell. Also Azzipa's comment was geared towards the game Downwell, not this set. You misinterpreted someone else's comment to insult my set. lol

^ this, exactly. OP has been very transparent through IC phase. OP also considered changing accent color and the community endorsed the original and current deep red (hence the name, deepwell!). i was making a weak attempt at humor by referencing honeywell and the color match with downwell. or vice versa, since honeywell came first. confused yet?   ;)

LOVE this set, btw!

No news about exact numbers, but I will say that we have passed the halfway marker for MOQ on the kits, all the kits are progressing smoothly, everything is on track to hit MOQ before the end of the GB! Both Deskmats already passed MOQ lol

Only a few days to go. How's the MOQ tracking look?

Also, does anyone have an image with key lengths for dumb dummies like me who just wanna make sure this kit will work with their board?

That's great to hear - hope I don't miss it again.  The cloudy mountaintop observatory deskmat is really neat, and looks a lot like the place I work.  ;)

Just got into the hobby and this is my first GB ever and i'm excited to be a part of it!  I started off with just the base kit, novelties kit, desk mat and cables, but then ended up going back to add the space bar kit and then again once more for the red RAMA.  Couldn't help myself, haha.

I was wondering if you had numbers to share on how many purchases you had for each set?  I've seen a few other GB's that shared this but wasn't sure if that was a standard thing.  Mostly just curious since its my first time :P

One other question I have is what row profiles are the novelties?  I'm not sure if I'm just missing it somewhere in the post, but I think in other sets I've seen them listed alongside their images in the renders.  Just want to make sure I match the profiles so I don't end up with a column of tall keys on the right edge of my 65%.

Thanks for all the work into this GB.  Everything looks great and I can't wait to get them!

Thanks so much for sharing these numbers, Tyson!  Those of us who track stats and trends find them really quite useful.  "Final without extras" would be the crème de la crème, but it's 100% understandable why most vendors seem to keep those closer to the chest.  "Final with extras" is definitely great to have access to and tends to be the most consistently available data for apples-to-apples comparisons, where possible.

Title: Re: [GB] GMK Deepwell | First Round of Color Samples Update!
Post by: Tyson on Sun, 05 December 2021, 19:05:53
Update 12/5/2021: I have finally got the first set of samples in, here is my take on them.

Dark Grey: Approved [Color is in between N9 & CR]

White: Going for Round 2 [Too creamy, yellower than WS1. Yellow needs to be removed.]

Red: Going for Round 2 [More saturated + slightly lighter on the red, in between RO1 and RO2]

Pictures:

Heya! Thanks for reminding me to update on here too! The R2 samples arrived and were basically the opposite of what we requested to change, because of that I am not going to post any pics. Just going to wait for the R3 samples to arrive, we submitted our feedback and asked for changes to be made a few weeks ago so we are just waiting on GMK at this point!

Color Matching Progress [As of 2/22/22]:

Dark Grey: Confirmed with Round 1 sample

Deep Red: Requesting Round 3 sample, Round 2 sample was farther off than the first sample

White: Requesting Round 3 sample, Round 2 sample was farther off than the first sample

Finally the post some of you guys have been waiting for! All of the colors have been approved. With the latest round of samples arriving I was able to compare them to the RAL deck along with the stock GMK colors that were similar and can confirm they were extremally close to the RAL colors! I can't wait for this set to get into the hands of all the customers who joined the GB! The next few updates for this set will be whenever we get GMK updates on the timeline on when the set will ship!

This is great news! Can't wait!

It's crazy to me that I've been waiting on 4 sets, 2 epbt and 2 gmk, and this set that was ordered the most recently is the first one to be fully approved. The 2 epbt sets are both a full year passed their original delivery estimate. This hobby is WILD.
