Hi! Welcome to the GMK Dandy Interest Check!
I follow a more simple design philosophy, and like for my keysets to reflect it. Subtle but with a little something to it.
Dandy features a few of the more subtle, slightly warmer stock colors from GMK, and draws simple inspiration for colors from dandelions.

Neat. Curious but in what order are sets gonna run? PONO first and then Dandy? What's the timeline like? I don't think it's the best idea to run multiple ICs simultaneously.

Pono is OG Walker, this is Sour. I think OGWalker just did the renders, unless I missed something.

I see you've chosen GMK stock colors so it's probably not going to happen, but why not ePBT? I don't see much advantage in using GMK for something like this.

PoN - Pink on Navy is Walker's set, Pono is my own set, correct. He reached out and asked if there would be any issues with naming, I didn't think so.
Kits are not final, not really expecting anything at this stage (numbers wise or anything wise) other than to put up an IC, see where it goes, what kind of interest there is.
Pono's IC will be wrapping up soon. Handling everything as it needs to be handled, no issues so far, sir. :thumb:

Looks great, I like the simplicity and low contrast.
I see you've chosen GMK stock colors so it's probably not going to happen, but why not ePBT? I don't see much advantage in using GMK for something like this.
To put it simply, stock colors, there is no messing about with matching. The subtley of these specific colors together should make for a nice, clean and simple look, with a little pop to it.
Would like to run some PBT soon, when I feel a little more confident with a manu and the PBT offerings with regards to consistency and QC (receiving warped and bowed keys is always so off-putting), also potentially get the opportunity to try a couple more profiles I'm curious about.

This looks nice, albeit I think it should be PBT instead. GMK is nice and all, but I feel like these colors would be easily possible with PBT
Thanks! There is a little more to consider with PBT other than colors as stated above :)

I do recall some people complaining about warping on iso enter for extended 2048. A few of the keys I got with that set had some slight imperfections around the bases, though the legends were really nice (better than my one gmk set, imho). Anyway, I respect your reasons. glwic!

Love the keycaps, I just believe it makes no sense to pick a UK vendor for EU mid 2020 when there is the risk the set will land in 2021 once UK is out of EU and we will have to pay customs for it, so I will pass on it.

As long as the GB happens in 2020, you won't pay customs.

I’m afraid this is not accurate. There is no regulation that says that there will be no taxes or custom costs applied. Customs get paid on delivery of the goods, and after December 31st 2020 UK will officially be a foreign country subject to custom verifications.
Even the simple fact that something goes through that process can lead to higher costs due to customs handling of the package.

You'll have to check this with Jae, because this is what he said:
Proto[Typist] is acting as lead vendor on this one, doing the negotiating with GMK etc and running the GB with the designer after talking about the project at a UK meetup and is effectively a UK community project.
I understand the concerns, and GMK timelines still show the set shipping in October. From delivery to buyer shipping turnaround will be 1 day, so its highly likely that shipping will occur in 2020 and we will be working with GMK to achieve that.
Whilst you are right that we dont know the UK's position within the EU and any shipping / VAT or other constraints in 2021, there are contingency plans in place to ensure that shipping can be conducted without inference of additional fees should delivery of the GMK sets take place in 2021.
Also, VAT will be paid on these items at point of sale where it is due; and will be marked as such when shipped if any delays push the delivery into 2021. The GB takes place as an EU transaction at the moment and is bound by the single market and customs union rules. Those rules state that goods sold under them should only be inclusive of VAT once. There will be many many businesses that sell something in 2020 that ships and is delivered after the changes take place; and both the EU and UK have said that those customers should not be impacted.
Finally, its highly likely that the current end-date of Dec 2020 for the UK to formally leave the EU trade agreements will be extended given the impact the Corona Virus has had on the economy and this is something myself and my accountant are paying close attention to.

Nice kit, Sour! Definitely not tired of green sets yet :D It would be nice to see at least one novelty key, accented or otherwise, in the base kit for F13 coverage.
Hey man! Thank you, glad you like! :D
Had another draft of base with some novelties in it, might look to revisit, thank you for the suggestion!

I've been thinking about some kit changes and figured I would share, see how you feel about them. New updated kits were added to IC form if this is something you would prefer over original kitting.
Some changes
Base: added split space and Alice style support, added UK ISO, removal of yellow accent enters and arrows, addition of novelty design. Addition of System instead of Super.
Novelties & Flowers: addition of yellow enters and arrows.
Space: Removal of L9 - white spacebars to base in favor of adding N6 - yellow and 3B - green spacebars.

I am a huge fan of numpad in base, so thanks for that! My only concern with the kit size is price. If you could do this for Pono price then that would be amazing.
I'm a little sad to see yellow accents parted out. I was comparing to Pono but then realized that yellow is a third color, and I guess I understand the part out.

Including numpad in base is a good change to make, since otherwise numpad users would be paying a premium, unless this set were priced at 500 or 1000 MOQ.

To be honest, I was fascinated by her. However, I think the orange keys position is a bit redundant because it may increase the price of the keycaps and may undermine the integrity.

Please consider Canadian proxy as shipping and customs are pricey. Deskhero, ashkeebs, minokeys.

Not much wiggle room left in base kits, considering how stacked they are at the moment. Will see how things go with pricing

I really like the shades of green used in this set. Just curious tho as I can't seem to find an explanation for the name. Not important, just was curious if there was a reason behind it. otherwise looks like a nice minimal set.It is the "dandelion" set :)

Hey, thanks! Dandy draws simple inspiration for colors from dandelions. Old IC is in a more tab under update in OP, at the end of the post. Some more detail in there about the set and progress

I will still be joining GB because I love the colours but I'm sad to see the r3 control disappear. Any chance for "addition" set for some of these less common keys?

Original kitting never had R3 Control. I'm not super keen on R3 text mod amidst icon mods.

1. Is there really no other option than the novelty for a windows key?
2. Any plans of adding a darker green accent like you have in the desk mats? Really pops and makes the colors more vibrant.
Post by: sourmk on Tue, 12 January 2021, 23:14:06
Whoa, just noticed all of the updates here. Very cool. A few questions:
1. Is there really no other option than the novelty for a windows key?
2. Any plans of adding a darker green accent like you have in the desk mats? Really pops and makes the colors more vibrant.
Hey! glad you like
1. Will see how it goes when I receive pricing quotes, if I can fit a couple more keys in base. For the moment there is no other option. The petal novelty acts as a GUI kind of key, so I think it works and fits well in this context.
2. Definitely not adding any more accents or colors this far into the IC.

- I've added 2x 1U + 2x 1.25U Super keys to bases. Concerns for a clean base have not gone unheard. Just waiting for updates to post.
- Few people have asked about the original deskmat designs. I sampled 5 mats for this set, the 2 originals did not turn out well at all and would require a lot of fine-tuning to get up to standard. The 3 backups came out perfect. While I understand there were a few people excited about those designs, they just couldn't make the cut. Hope you will consider supporting the 3 other designs, as I feel they will look great with either base kit.
- I do not feel the confident that slightly more obscure spacebar kit will make moq, therefore that is getting cut for GB. So 2 bases, a novelty kit, and accent kit will be available for pre-order.
- Working on another collab that will be revealed shortly. It's a bit hard to contain my excitement.
- Cable collab to come very soon as well.
Next update very soon, cheers for the support this far, it's been a long road for this IC and I'm quite happy this will getting going soon.

Base kit is priced a bit higher than I imagined, but I also expected a MOQ of at least 500 since I thought this set would be pretty popular.
But the rest is very reasonably priced, so it makes up for it. Excited to join the GB :thumb:

Multiple base kits presents challenges to high MOQs is the only issue. Especially with all the set competition lately! It'll be worse in a few months when we have the same number of sets in group buy but also a heap going up for extras. Such is the times :D
