[IC] Laser GMK - 80's & Cyberpunk (LIVE)

[pyridine]

Every day Laser does not drop, we stray further from the light

(of lasers)

[HotRoderX]

I know I am deep deep minority on this but I hope this don't drop tell November. I already blown my entire fun budget for October.. I really want this keyset but as it stands I most likely have to pass depending on lot of factors.

Blasphemy!

[BlackInk]

is this set dead already? what happen it takes forever to launch

[Corgi Butts]

It's in the massdrop queue, there are/were other keysets ahead of it.

[ye_cole]

I thought it was only oblivion in front of it

laser pls

laser pls

Is there confirmation that there's more in front of it?

[FearsomeCubedWarrior]

not today

[amnesia0287]

not today

I’d guess they won’t do another key set till like next Monday.

[avid]

Doesnt massdrop send out mail a few day in advance for stuff they promote? I know i got mail for stuff like the liquid carbon amps.

They do, but they usually actually post it to the site before that even happens. The main reason I'm guessing not until next week at earliest is just cause then it will be October.

[avid]

So we're entering Q4 now. I hope so badly that LASER is next in line and not dropping some randoms inbetween.

Which ones

He is stating there is others ahead of it, which suggests he should have some facts to base that on

*sigh*

I'm pretty sure he was speaking vaguely and referencing more the fact that Oblivion dropped before Laser.

We haven't seen any indication that there is any other set above Laser in Massdrop's queue. Massdrop/the Designer is usually good at hyping up a set when it's about their turn in the queue, which MiTo has been more or less doing for the entire year.

AFAIK, there has never been a *surprise* keycap drop, everyone has had some indication in advance.

Relax and be patient, I'm sure MiTo will be providing more information soon. It's no mystery this set is super hyped, hell this IC has 20 pages.

Massdrop has been dropping a lot of keycap fire lately, but also dealing with a lot of controversial backlash- they're probably just waiting at the pub for things to cool down.

laser pls

based mito

where u at



All jokes aside, really exited for this set. Cannot wait.

[hashbaz]

In for this for sure. Gorgeous set, just waiting for the notification to throw money at it.

[colgateam]

He has probably been busy with this collab

Congratulations, they have heeded your call and will be dropping in November '18...

Great job, buddy.

Are you serious?

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
And this IC has burn so very very brightly.

I was just razzing HotRoderX who said they hope it doesn't drop until November. I'm in the same boat as everyone, just waiting. For all I know it might be next November, or next week.

[HotRoderX]

haha I do think it might be next month thought before we see it! My thinking is they know people need a cooldown.. the wallets can only handle so much! with so many amazing key set drops back to back! I am sure they want to give people a bit of breathing room. Also I bet they need something spectacular for November in United States. Black Friday most likely cuts into there profit margins and the hype of Lazer could bring them back up.

[ptiede]

Mito is teasing us

[Perfex]

I’m willing to bet Laser will reach GMK Carbon status as far as sales.

Longest hype train ever though.

On another note I’m excited to see all the must have collab add-ons he has planned for this keyset.

[fmauNeko]

Please take my money.
I want it and I will keep it forever... Or at least until a SA variant is made.

^ this. I want it in GMK and SA LOL. Goodbye wallet!

[FearsomeCubedWarrior]

SA won't support such complicated legends. Not in doubleshot technology at least (not to mention that molds themselves would cost a fortune).
The best option for me would be Matt3o's hi-pros, but I don't think that reverse dye-sub is possible atm with such detalization.

SA could certainly support a lot of the legends he has here, just look at the "Out of the Vault" packs or SA camping. It's certainly possible and SP charges less for molds than GMK anyway so I don't understand where you're coming from.

[hashbaz]

+1 for SA/Matt3o version of this. Would buy, even with downgraded custom legends.

Point taken. Most likely, I just don't want SP to run it with their backlog.

[BennyAndTheJets]

I registered an account here just to say I want this!

[jnav]

+1 for SA. Drool.

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway... Maxkey makes SA profile keycaps and the look pretty good in photos but I don't see people turning to them as an alternative to Signature Plastics. What gives?

I would imagine it has to do with brand loyalty and any quality issues that arose in comparison with SA, sort of like assuming it’s of lesser quality just because it’s a clone... despite that fact SA key caps are reminiscent of older keycaps and are also a copy.

Here is a thread about the comparison
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/5z8dda/review_maxkeys_sa_vs_sp_sa_read_description/

Although the community as a whole has been very accepting of clone MX switches, it would appear keycaps clones aren’t regarded with the same diverse views yet.

[FearsomeCubedWarrior]

The issue with maxkeys is lack of non-standard molds at the moment. But they're trying hard to solve it and even offer some novelties now.

[Trousers]

My guess would be that Maxkeys doesn't have the same customization options. Like they don't produce any ISO sets as they apparently don't have the molds (or so I've read). I've longingly looked into their SA sets, but since I use a Swedish/Finnish layout, it's never been a real option.

I would think they are a fine option if you want more affordable SA sets with a standard ANSI layout. But if you want anything more custom (novelties, ISO, 40%, etc), maybe they're not up to the task.

I do wish they did up their game, as more competition could really help with the crazy prices and waiting times.

[Wolf123rt]

Their prices aren't really competitive anymore, the Maxkeys Calm Depths set costs $130.

People are blinded by habits.

MaxKeys quality is just as good if not better than SP. They ship way faster and costs way way less. They actually listen to the customer and make corrections according to our wishes.

I have no idea what the obsession with SP is. Merika' maybe?

Who said people aren't going to Maxkeys? Like every single SA drop except Oblivion lately in the past 3-5 months have been on Maxkeys...

[forevermadrigal]

idk how much you gotta pay for the keys you get in maxkeys to get in sp, but would you rather pay 130 and get in a few months or pay 130 and wait over a year for it?

Here's an awesome playlist I found of radical Vaporwave tunes to jam to while you wait for Laser to drop.

Anyone have an idea of what kind price the base set may go for? Trying to make sure I have some money aside for this.

[rehael]

Anyone have an idea of what kind price the base set may go for?

Considering past drops, not more than $150, even considering that Laser's base might be a little bit larger than other GMK sets. But this drop will be popular, so I hope it will drop to $99.

GMK raised their prices recently, so it might be over 150 at first

[Landcaps]

I just saw this and OMG that's so cool. what a gorgeous set 

[ioioioio]

I just hoping that hype-train doesnt stop

[ye_cole]

cause of the metric ****ton of new molds tho (6000 dollar mold fee where you at)

i mean, base maxkey 127 key set is still hella cheap. their prices aren't going up. if a set were to use the molds I had made, it would be (off the top of my head) priced around $90 dollars (assuming they took same profits as maxkey kits priced at 80 dollars). Cheaper than GMK, you can use pantone colors without driving up set MOQ, and it's SA.

they're a good ass manufacturer, with fast turnaround times. What more can you ask for, really?
