Congratulations, voodoo6k, on a successful group buy launch.

This is a very nice, understated set. I especially like the CP colour legends. I think this might just have to be my first ever group buy. :-)

There is however one thing that bothers me slightly; I was interested in the Numpad kit, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be full NorDeUK coverage for the Numpad, as the R4 "," key is missing from both those kits.

I tried searching the GMK Database for other sets with the CR/CP colour combination, but didn't have much luck. Most WoB sets seem to be CR/WS1, for example. Certainly the NorDeUK extensions. Does anyone know another GMK set where I could find an R4 "," key in such a colourway?  If not, I might have to forego the numpad kit. Either way, it's not a huge deal. I'm sure I'll be quite happy with the rest of this set.

Thanks for making it happen.

That's a very nice set, close to the thinkpad spirit.
I'm kind of sad that the French layout is not supported though. I usually don't mind as I'm touch typist, but for this one, I would have like it (essentially to brag at work!).

I'm not sure that you will be able to find a "," key for numpad. The difference between that and "." is quite small, that's why it's never (?) included.

That's a very nice set, close to the thinkpad spirit.
I'm kind of sad that the French layout is not supported though. I usually don't mind as I'm touch typist, but for this one, I would have like it (essentially to brag at work!).

The French layout (AZERTY) is mostly used in France and Belgium so it wouldn't be able to pull enough numbers. Even in Canada the French Canadian layout is QWERTY.

Thank you for this amazing set, definitely all in on this one.

If you can find a OG WOB french iso for the alphas, then you can make your own GMK Thinkcaps!

That's really a good idea, I've got to look into that !

For the few GB I've followed where there was a French layout, the numbers were extremly low. It's clearly a niche. Canadians use a modified qwerty, that allows to type letters with accent. Despite it's a smart layout, I couldn't get use to it...

Also these would be in CP colour just like Thinkcaps, if I'm not mistaken. I've been using the Canadian layout in different variants (legacy, multilingual, bilingual) since childhood and I'm quite thankful for QWERTY.

I added a new forum signature BB code.

Thanks to everyone who has joined already!

It follows Dixie's line of Circles deskmats. Take it or leave it ;)

I'm not a graphic designer, and my usual guy @OneCreativeMind is on hiatus. I like the Circles.

It's actually quite difficult to come up with an original design that's true to the IBM/Lenovo/TP heritage, while not infringing intellectual property.

Did Dixie Mech stop taking orders for the RGB mods? Its the only item in the group buy that I can't add to my cart.

::EDIT::
Well, never mind. I closed the tab, came here to post this and then followed the link on this page back to Dixie to try it again and this time it added to the cart. Either someone was faster than they had any right to be resolving the issue, or I must have had something cached oddly in my open tab.

Either way, about to pull that trigger. Great set!

GB progress update:

1. I've taken the decision to cancel the Ortho & 40's standalone set. It's something I insisted on and wanted to offer for a long time, but the current sales numbers (one week in) are too low. In fact, they include a (very kind) buyer who had committed to getting 30+ sets for their keyboard shop, so the actual number is even lower. :(

We had a long IC phase and many people signed our form. More than 1500 entries overall, with 365 for the Ortho set specifically. I tried something experimental despite my vendors' warnings, and it didn't work out. I'd rather have tried and failed than not give it a shot. I'm terribly sorry to the 20-some buyers who already bought the Ortho set, you will be refunded in full.

2. I remain very optimistic for the rest of the GB, with the TKL set already at more than half way to MOQ! The other kits are priced competitively. Thanks again to everyone who has joined this group buy. :)



Edit: now showing 40s/Ortho kit has been canceled.

Man I was really on the fence with this one as it was "simple" but it turns out that simple and classic just work in many circumstances.

Ordered a base kit since I was eyeballing GMK WoB but didn't need it right now. At least with Thinkcaps you get a classic Dolch with colored accents and that Thinkpad vibe can't be beat.

GB progress update:

1. I've taken the decision to cancel the Ortho & 40's standalone set. It's something I insisted on and wanted to offer for a long time, but the current sales numbers (one week in) are too low. In fact, they include a (very kind) buyer who had committed to getting 30+ sets for their keyboard shop, so the actual number is even lower. :(

We had a long IC phase and many people signed our form. More than 1500 entries overall, with 365 for the Ortho set specifically. I tried something experimental despite my vendors' warnings, and it didn't work out. I'd rather have tried and failed than not give it a shot. I'm terribly sorry to the 20-some buyers who already bought the Ortho set, you will be refunded in full.

2. I remain very optimistic for the rest of the GB, with the TKL set already at more than half way to MOQ! The other kits are priced competitively. Thanks again to everyone who has joined this group buy. :)
Wow. I wish I hadn't waited to purchase the Ortho/40s set. I didn't think it would matter if I bought it in the first week or the last. Sad!

Yakk.shop is myself and we're working on a smooth transition to another Canadian vendor, due to unexpected circumstances.

Edit: Deskhero.ca added to the crew. Welcome aboard!

So sad about the Ortho kit's death. Was going to try to get a couple other sets go to make up for it but its just not possible with my board. I was looking forward to modding a trackpoint onto it too  :-[

Ouch. Was planning to get both TKL and Ortho/40s kits next month...
I reckon the numbers would have picked up by the first week of Dec., but oh well.

lost a sale here, the only reason I was going for this is the 40s kit.

There's a couple of buys that have done this recently, canned kits midway through a buy. It's kinda a crappy thing to do.

I was hoping to buy the Ortho/40s kit next month since I had so many things to buy this month(All the new 65%s and BFCM stuff.)
Now I kinda feel bad for not getting it sooner.

Yeah we're at around 430 base sets. I'll send the current numbers to @dvorcol for a nice graph.
