[GB] GMK SNES - Hype slowly rekindling...

[Glenmael]

SNES most definitely, looks awesome

[swimmingbird]

I'm just going to throw this out there but this time around can we please try and expand the set a little - I know that to get to GMK MOQ numbers it's good to have a lower price given how expensive these sets already are but I would love to see support for more layouts and for this set AN HHKB KIT!

Oh and can we please never go back to R5 profile for the arrow keys / wkl bottom row k thnx

I really like the R5 modifiers, but I can live without them, it that makes more people to join. Regarding price, I really cannot see the difference in price with other sets, even SP made ones, with child subsets may cost you the same, or even more than a full GMK set.

Um, not gonna lie, row 5 is like the literal point of sets made using the og cherry tooling.

Ahh that must be why all the great GMK sets like Hyperfuse and Ivan's Dolch chose not to use it at all

[Morning19]

SNES For sure! Neutral with some spice and nostalgia.

[theginginator]

Looking forward to the announcement! My wallet is already on fire, no need putting it out at this point with another gmk set in the works...

I hope not, the recent TA experience was not good; besides, MD has dropped many countries from shipping, so some brothers may not be able to buy the set from them.

Honestly, I don't see how anyone else could've handled it better. I blame it on using custom colors and the display trays. No one else could've prevented discoloration, but the trays could've been secured better.
But then you'd have long periods of shipping them since a lone GB leader would've done it on their own.

I have had some issues with MD that I woun't detailed here to avoid derailing the thread; but, I will support what it would be in the best interest for the community at large, I still have a ConUS address so lack of shipping to some countries is not an issue for me, but it could be for some. The quality defects appear to be related with high production volumes along with the use of some plastic compound mixtures, additives and pigments not previously tested for the legends, but the packaging was all on MD.

[gadzkun]

to be honest i prefer MD, why? maybe yeah TA was bad, but its better than have to wait 1-2 year and your item not shipped yet.

You have made your preference very clear, already. Let see what the OP defines, I am pretty sure he will consider all the pros and cons.

[cooldiscretion]

I'm really interested in the SNES set.  Would it be possible to include an option for alternating grey and dark grey (matching the alpha and mod key colors) F-Row keys and Esc key in a side kit?

Voted for SNES. It's my #2 all time favorite console just below GBA

[romevi]

Voted for SNES. It's my #2 all time favorite console just below GBA

Both are quality systems. The GBA is pretty much a portable SNES.

All Ninty consoles are great. Yes, even the Virtual Boy.

Let's not **** around here, we all know the gamecube is the best console.

I've never seen anyone abbreviate DS Lite that way before.

I don't think this will run on MD. It'll be done independently.

[intelli78]

Bump. See OP for updates

[Vadurr]

It seems that this SNES will be coming soon...

[HoffmanMyster]

Bump. See OP for updates

Thanks for the update, intelli. 

Is there a reason the "modifier" keys in the numpad portion are purple rather than grey like the rest of the mods?

I was just going to comment on this, and also the WASZ. I'm sure it was mentioned, but I couldn't seen to find why.

[intelli78]

For the numpad mods, I just thought purple was a nice aesthetic touch that adds a little more color to the set. However, I would be just fine changing them to the regular mod color. I am happy to go with the majority on this.

For the WASZ, the point is that it's supposed to look like the controller d-pad, while [;'/ are ABXY.

I'd love to have purple mods, since this is an SNES theme. But that's just me. 
Also, I figured the WASZ was in homage to the button layout. It was just weird not seeing WASD for the first time, but glad the Famicom/PAL SNES colors are there too!


Sidenote:
Great to see you back in keycap design, intelli! I wasn't around when TA was on Md, thus had to get mine recently secondhand. It is gorgeous, so now I have great expectations for your future work. 

[intelli78]

Glad you like the TA set. I hope to revisit that next, to perfect the colors and tweak the layout. It was definitely a learning experience.

[Glenmael]

This sure came around quick, congratulations and cannot wait to order.

[ideus]

[rpeterclark]

Yes, this looks great! I'm definitely in on this one.

[swimmingbird]

Holy **** this looks good

[Joey Quinn]

This set looks pretty sick and I happen to have some spending money. Perfect timing.

[Frigid]

Looks like my wallet is about to hate me.

[ideus]

A stepped control key?

[romevi]

Looks like my wallet is about to hate me.

lol You still have a wallet?

[ideus]

This will be epic, SNES colors will live forever on your boards.

[olijuice]

I really liked the original mock up, but this new redesign feels much more refined and polished. I can't not have this now, really nice looking.

[Ir0n]

The Snes one looks very pretty and makes me want to hook mine up! D: Also yay for famicom colors!

[Latin00032]

Are you going to color match a "clean" snes?

Im asking becuase im pretty sure we all want the colors to be accurate with minimal sun and dirt damage.

Definitely.

[Latin00032]

This might be too late to ask but the r4 1u keys that are blank, can they have a yellow windows icon or an option for one?

Im asking becuase if you put a 7u spacebar with the shift keys, and 1.5 ctrl/alt mods it will look off without yellow to balance it out.

[Binge]

Intelli... you know how much I love you for this, right?

this is a good point. I think the reason it is this way, is because last time GMK said they couldn't do doubleshot windows logos on 1u keys, and that it would have to be pad printed, so I went with blank. However, those were R5. They might be able to do it for R4. I'll check, and if they can, then I fully support this change.
