Now we'll get everything over to GMK, and get this rolling into production!

___________________________________________________________________________
Hi folks! The time has finally come, starting on Sunday, April 22nd, you can get in on the GMK Violet Tendencies Group buy!  For every 25 kits sold, we'll be giving away (RNG style) a themed artisan made by the wonderful Keybai to a lucky buyer!





This is the base kit, it will fit a wide range of boards, including most 40% and ortho;

$160 at MOQ ($150 at 250 kits)


This is the spacebar kit, pretty self explainatory;

$35 at MOQ (Then lower as we go)


Here's a little accent kit;

$14 at 100 MOQ - If you've already ordered the other kits, there's a text field to enter your order number, you'll be refunded the double shipping!


Here's the pretty package it'll come in!


Group buy will run from April 22nd to May 20th

NA folks can order it here https://dixiemech.com/shop/gmkviolettendencies

EU folks will be able to order it from https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/category/group-buys/gmk-violet-tendencies_46

Asia proxy https://www.zfrontier.com/m/3609

Link to the interest check page https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90994.0

I greatly appreciate everyone's interest, and feedback/help throughout this process. I apologize if some of your desired changes didn't make it into the kit, I had to balance a lot of factors.


Timeline -
GB opens April 22nd
GB closes May 20th
Within a week of close order will be placed with GMK
3-4 months after payment until order is shipped to dixiemech
Dixiemech will then ship it out to NA orders inhumanly quickly

Just to make sure, what are the sizes on the smaller spacebars? Is that 1.75, 2, 2.25, and 2.75?

yeah I'd expect the 1.75 to be 1.25 but whatever happened there must've been because of some feedback (I hope)

Would recommend updating the original comment or the render, for visibility's sake, that one of the 1.5u alt and 1.5u ctrl keys will be replaced with super and code respectively meaning a symmetrical ctrl/alt tsangan layout with this set will not be possible.

but muh hhkb

just add them on top of the 1.5u ctrls and alts, don't replace them

[phorx]

I’m in for a set of each, but really counting on the Violet Outburst pack becoming real to bring in GR1 on DY mods, arrows, and a windowed stepped caps one day.

hm from skimming through the old thread, those might be extras?  it's not really clear.  OP pls halp.

[naasfu]

the render on the store site shows a weird mix of ctrl/alt + code/super.

Does that include spacebar kits?

Alrighty everyone! The 1.5u situation has been solved! Just an unfortunate oversight. There will be 2 1.5u Control and Alt caps, and 1 1.5u Code and Super caps. The render has been updated on the product page and should be updated here shortly. :)

Thank you! You might want to update the render one more time, though — it’s now showing 3 1.5u Alt caps.

Oh, but you're wrong! It's been updated to include both

(Oops, didn't read all the replies before I posted that lol)

[xondat]

Ah, that makes sense now!

[lemur]

Just to be clear.. for a person ordering a single Base set from Dixiemech to a US address the shipping cost seems to show it is $1.50 and 'STICKER ONLY SHIPPING (Envelope)', for a total of $161.50

is this correct?

Before going through a full purchase I'd like to know if things are all working as expected.


edit: nevermind..  other shipping options have appeared once getting further in the process... though the sticker only option is the default, which may throw some people off.

Thanks for the heads up! We'll take have a look into it.

woo awesome.  thanks guys.

[Wongstongs]

In for one of these beautiful sets!

[kennardsmith]

can't wait for this set!

[midnight2903]

Any updates for Asia proxy?

[hndle]

asia proxy is only china zfrontier??
en.zfrontier is not included?

[SeedyOne]

Thank you for bringing back those missing keys. Very much interested now! 

[midnight2903]

Just confirmed with zFrontier that they are doing only for Chinese.

Guess I will go with dixiemech....

[jihadu]

Why is the ISO enter not in the accented colourway, while the 1.75U enter is?
I understand why you don't include both, as sets like Laser and Nautilus included the non-accent ISO enter in the NorDe kit.

[KaosJ]

Why is the ISO enter not in the accented colourway, while the 1.75U enter is?

Well that's weird lol

In for it...just wish those purple arrow keys had made in in

It's so people don't use ISO

[phorx]

Yeah I'd have liked a lot more accent coloured keys.

[razor_blade]

White on purple arrows and enter are gone now, but the white on purple alphas stayed? Why? Those keys made it pop. They were all over the interest check renders. I may have to drop out, now that I'm noticing their omission. 🙁

[kphongme]

I would really like to join but I believe both dixiemech and mykeyboard.eu don't ship to Thailand. And well, I can't read Chinese.

So if both of them don't ship to SEA we are fked.

Could it just that they forgot to add it to the en site

Hi. Depending on what Dixiemech says / allows.  We can actually ship to any country in the world.  Just not through our website.  I will discuss with Dixiemech and see how we can help out.

[MaNiFeX]

Good luck Vox!  Love the set!   

[GarrettSucks]

I have decided that the best way to get the SEA folks their sets, is to just set up a simple form to fill out. It will just be your address and what items you will be ordering so that I can get you a shipping quote for your location. Shipping to all different countries is dangerous for a small business because you can’t just charge a flat rate for all countries. One country may cost $20 while another costs $60. I can’t run that risk. So I will do custom shipping quotes for everyone who needs one in the SEA area and let you decide if you are okay with the quote.

 Sorry for the delay, I will be working on getting this up tonight after I get off work. Thank you for all the patience and for the support. ❤️
