Where to buy GMK dark?
« on: Wed, 17 January 2024, 20:08:07 »
I want to buy GMK dark so badly, but cannot find a single website to buy this on.
Does anybody know where to buy it?
I've checked there is one in ebay, but it is used one..

GMK Dark is no longer available to purchase new since it was a group buy that ended ages ago. You can only get it used right now, unless an r2 happens, which doesn't seem likely.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

There are some sets that are fairly similar, one that's going into GB soon is KKB Outer Bounds with dark alphas. More gray on black than black on gray but similar

I do like gmk dark, though the kitting wasn't very great.

I looked into it a bit and I did see that the original runner was interested in doing an r2, not saying it will happen 100% though, but I would keep an eye on geekhack just in case an IC pops up.

I would be so excited for R2, black case with gateron oil kings would make the ultimate dark board.

Does GMK Dark look similar to Dualshot R2? I've recently picked up the Katakana Base for Dualshot but the colored mods are throwing me off. I've been looking for other GMK with "N9" base and "CR" sub-legend sets to hopefully mix and match with it, and this is the closest I've seen. The only hitch is the renders make it look like Dark is much darker than Dualshot, even tho they use the same GMK's standard colors (from what it looks like).

If they are both N9 then it should be similar, also look at irl images since both sets were released as those are more accurate.
