Accent colors remind me of muted-- and they fit perfectly with the green.

IMO, since I think a lot of people would want to use both the purple and blue accent colors on their board at the same time (other than the only combination right now of purple esc, blue enter), an extra kit with purple spacebars would be nice.

I'd also personally kill any ideas for novelties since this base kit is going to get expensive real quick, especially with two accent colors.

Great job though!

Yes good call!

I agree about the novelties too, I know novelties for GMK can kind of make or break a set, whether they're grouped with or apart. dont want a situation where the novelties not hitting MOQ kills it entirely.

I honestly doubt that will happen. The colors in this seat are so beautiful stand alone, that it makes up for the need for novelties to make the set "worth it"

We'll see but I think it'll work out

definitely, need to see some good traction on the set though to warrant getting color samples. computer screens reflect hex/pantone colors quite poorly. so the matching process on 5 custom colors will be quite pricey if I'm getting 2/3 alternates/close matches to get the perfect representation of the renders!

so yah! tell your friends about the set :D

color hex is #3F5C58 which is the hex I pulled for Pantone 5477c
Think the guidebook is a bit darker so would probably end up being a different pantone, but yah thats the E-version of pantone 5477C :)

Count me in for sure if the samples turn out representative of the render.

I'm not a huge fan of alternating f-row colors, but I can live with it. Maybe consider a spacebar kit so you can move the R4 2.25u blank in there? As well as include purple/blue spacebars?

Added to feedback form

Website is up currently with occasional outages. No work can be done on it until payments are in because it'll be offline for a few weeks for a rework.

Do spacebar kits hit MOQ these days? Would be nice to see one of those. 40% is always welcome, too.

Would anyone be interested in buying both alpha kits? I've heard that GMK doesn't run alpha kits with different legends, but not sure if they run with just different colors. I feel like burgundy might make a nice secondary alpha kit.

Spacebars tend to hit MOQ without too much struggling. 40% kit and alpha kits tend to have a good bit of struggling and in many cases do not hit MOQ, often causing those who placed orders containing the failed kits to cancel their order entirely, hurting the base kit numbers.

realistically breaking things down into super small kits like SA sets do probably wont fly with GMK due to their high MOQ's. best to do the major base kit, and the vey small novelty/separate spacebars kit.

I'm also leaning heavily to going with the burgundy alphas as the white alphas make the set WAY too similar to GMK Camping

I believe phantom hit MOQ for a spacebar kit, and this set is much more likely to hit MOQ because I think the necessity of having a purple colored spacebar is more important than it was with phantom in this case

Not a huge fan of purple alphas. Have you tried changing the legend color on the white alphas from black to the dark green?

This too. Not many gmk legends in this format use black legends (jtk does)

Choosing the purple as legend colors might be alright too.

But green would be the best option

Also, instead of "man down" for the novelty, would you consider "brace yourself", which is also from the same song.

Definitely not a good idea to try SP style kits with GMK due to their higher MOQs and their higher per-ket base fees. Best idea is to keep a decent sized base kit with a couple small child kits at best, such as spacebar and novelty.

it looks OK actually, but the theme is totally lost for me with the blue alphas. it looks good don't get me wrong, but the FEEL of the set is lost. if that makes sense. will post a KLE tomorrow when I got time to kill at work. eyes a bit burnt out today :D

Let's just go halfsies on a swimming pools child mod kit. That should be what, $4000 a piece from you and I? It would be sick if there was actually enough interest to hit MOQ for a mod kit like that.

And no worries dude, all goood.

but let me be that numpad person and mention how useful the double zero (00) key is for lots of good numpads... as well as some keyboards, such as the Vortex ViBE

true story I actually had a double zero key in the original base kit but took it out cause I thought nobody would want it :D will add it to my work order as this progresses!

Really slick set!

Have you experimented with all black legends even on modifiers/accents? Seem to fit more in line with the aesthetic in my head but I don't know how it'd turn out.

If a second alpha kit is infeasible nowadays, I think the white alphas look better and have more universal appeal. But the IC poll will decide.

The similarity to Camping isn't that strong IMO.

Hey guys so fortunately I had time to kill this morning at work, between watching World Cup and fooling around with KLE.

I must say, I think as a whole each color, the cyan, green and burgundy/purple could easily all represent as the alphas

that being said, I added my notes on my personal opinion on each variety.

The colors to me have to resonate with the theme of GKMC

Alternates 1



Alternates 2



So yeah in case the notes don't translate well,

Alternates 1 image:
Top Left: cyan alphas look good! I think individually each color (green, cyan, burgundy/purple) could act as alphas) but I think the theme is lost the most with the cyan alphas

Bottom Left: the current iteration I intend to go with, with which I've requested quotes on from GMK, I truly think the burgundy.purpler alphas nail the aesthetic and theme that I'm trying to go for, while standing apart from the norm of colors, remaining legible, and really nailing the theme that the set is based on

Top Right: All black legends on alphas and mods, looks ok, but again I'm leaning heavily away from the white alphas. The black is a little TOO plain for the set. just too generic looking

Bottom Right: is the green legends on the og alphas. I know it literally isn't a carbon copy of Camping. but to me it still is the camping aesthetic of green and white (cream in campings case)


Alternate 2:

Top Left and Bottom Right: This is the OG alphas but with the mod/highlight colors as legend colors.... kinda cheapens the set. loses its theme IMO

Top Right and Bottom Right: again just illustrating how the aesthetic of GMK Camping (for me anyways) is too apparent in green on white alphas.


Conclusion:

Its a tough pick because right now all the feedback I've received has been a 50/50 split on burgundy or white alphas. with most saying the burgundy still looks great, but what they're really in for is the novelties hahah

so its wtv, I'm leaning HEAVILY on the burgundy alphas, i think it looks ****ing sick and rocks the GKMC vibe.

I'm due to receive renders from GMK for the burgundy alphas base kit, spacebars kit and a novelties kit so I'll pitch another IC about to get more feedback and we'll go from there!

Regardless I'm not in a rush as there are a **** ton of GMK GB's and IC's in progress so it isn't the worst thing to take my time with this one :)

Thanks guys for all the feedback and help figuring this one out :)

Definitely think that the burgundy fits the GMKC vibe the best. Personally wouldn't consider the others I like the burg so much.

To throw my opinion on the pile: I'd buy what's rendered in the original post, but not the alternatives.

Is it just us or are the forum images not working for us? (And your website too)

White alphas are very nice, the purple ones really do add for some contrast but will not hit everyones liking!

It's something about imgur and some ISP's at the moment. I can only view some https url's, but the ones that don't do work through a proxy. Is weird.

Some better renders of each of the alpha colors with the addition of a poll might be a good step forward.

I like the YAWK novelties. What about a Dominoes themed cap? Enter maybe?

I actually love the idea of a dominoes themed cap. I'm falling out of favor with the man down...I think a domino tile piece for an R3 caps lock and a minivan enter novelty would pair better than lyrics.


Let do it with icon mod, bro.

I actually finally got a response back from GMK about the set which included many quotes/moq's and information pertaining to the set.

1. Custom colors require base kits to meet 250 MOQ no matter what
2. Novelties/Spacebars/Icon kits are ok for 150 MOQ

I've still got to figure out vendors and stuff because the quotes I received are excluding VAT, Banking and Shipping so I'm not too sure how markup would look!


Here is an image of an icon mods kit which I've added to the kit image album!



Going to provide some new images for novelties so we would have the following

1. R1 Casette tape
2. 4x R1 YAWK
3. R3 1.75u Domino
4. R3 2.25u Minivan

then once I get a revised quote on that I'll talk to some vendors!

now should the minivan be facing left as per the album. or right for continuity reasons...

I would face it to the left for aesthetic reasons. With a MOQ of 150 for spacebars/novelties, would it make sense to combine the kits into one?

based on the pricing I have now, it would make most sense to add novelties to the base kit,

but I'm gonna inquire about some new novelties and see what the price difference is and go from there...you're right though, some form of kit combination to ensure hitting MOQ is smart

Like all of them a lot except the enter due to the size of the van. But I usually don‘t like it when the icons are too big, the van itself I find super nice!
Tbh, I don‘t get the domino reference (but I also don‘t know Kendrick and he‘s music that well), but it looks awesome as a novelty!

Ah and I forgot to mention (since I haven‘t said anything about this set yet) that the colors are really growing on me and I might be in, depending on the price and point in time  it‘s going to run.

Agreed, I think this set is one that might grow on people past their initial judgement. The colors are certainly not traditional.

Sort of playing the waiting game a bit...From what I've seen GMK sets aren't doing so hot, I think theres some crazy oversaturation of the market with GMK groupbuys. Like Carbon R2 isn't exactly selling like hotcakes but it has one of the most busy IC threads and is on Massdrop but they are like nearly 140 base kits away on the bone kit and 60 away on the carbon base kit...so thats kind of discouraging for smaller GMK IC's such as this which require 250 kits to be sold.

So I dunno, maybe I'll bring it up in 2019 when the market isn't so overloaded with GMK gb's, but right now I just dont think it'll realistically ever hit MOQ.

that sounds pretty great honestly, there are way too many being run atm. And hyping this set up continually after all these popular purple sets finish off might generate a better buy.

Set looks amazing. Your approach to waiting a little while makes sense although I wouldn't take carbon as the only relevant precedent. I think this set reminds me more of Olivia in its innovation and appeal.

Thanks! Oh dont worry its not just factoring carbon but many of the GMK gb's in the past couple months that have struggled or outright not made it that worry me the most. I think 2019 I'll try to do a better job in getting eyes on the set. my initial posting run on RMK wasn't well done, I think the help of a reputable vendor other than Massdrop would help immensely.

Plus  I'll probably invest in making a much much much smaller base kit to make this infinitely more accesible.

I cannot agree with you any more! Too much GMK right now. Maybe late Q1 of 2019 is a good time for this set.

Any idea on doing accessories like desk mats/ artisans/ cables? Now that there’s probably a while ‘til the GB.

Might cause more people to see the set as well if you have more vendors being a part of the set

I must say it's growing on me and I really wanna get something like this down the line. Good that it'll be later in 2019 (reading through some posts previously) as now there's really way too many GMK GBs happening :D

Icon mod kit, one more time. Any update on its schedule? I know the "waiting time" and "oversaturation of GMK's" but I am asking about an actual schedule, considering all these "issues".

Saw this way back and now it came up again in "Unreads".

I must say it's growing on me and I really wanna get something like this down the line. Good that it'll be later in 2019 (reading through some posts previously) as now there's really way too many GMK GBs happening :D

thanks, agreed!

thanks man!

Any idea on doing accessories like desk mats/ artisans/ cables? Now that there’s probably a while ‘til the GB.

Might cause more people to see the set as well if you have more vendors being a part of the set

desk mats maybe. Artisans would be really dope though, I've already asked Bgnu-Thun in the past about getting a custom run as I'm a huge fan of his stuff, if this goes through I would definitely be in for a GMK Good Kid Bad Alien novelty

To be honest I'm not really too sure. Zambumon has like 4 GMK interest checks due to come out in the next year and he's got the in with Massdrop, so this would have to be at an "off-season" time and away from whenever MD's GMK sets are going on, so I really have no clue about a schedule.


I really have to start discussions with possible vendors. I know DonutCat offered some assistance so I'll definitely link up with him at some point!

I also have to be aware of the fact that a BIG issue right now with GMK Carbon Rd2 is the pricing...So I'm going to revisit the kits as best I can to make them as cheap as possible to try and increase the likelihood of hitting MOQ.

but yah TLDR

got some things to do before I figure out a schedule!

Same here. Liking this even more than I did several months ago.

I do hope the colors match closer to the renders rather than the kit images, however.  The kit image colors seem more washed out.

The original renders and pantones used are extremely unsaturated compared to the most renders.

Will the set end up looking more like the rich colors in the newest renders? In which I think that's an entirely different pantone compared to 5477c.

Two comments:


1) There would be 2.25 and 2.75 space bars Concave molds when this runs. You may ask GMK to use those molds.


2) The 1.25u diamonds may include the apple's command, as their 1.5 counterparts.

I would like to join, but there is a really big uncertainty around the colors.
I've seen sets that looked great on renders, but turned to ugly once colors where defined. And the purple color is one of the most problematic. Fact is that, if this isn't going to be your work keyboard, most of the time the light in the room will be quite dim, so your set will look very dark.

Look for example at this set... it was supposed to be purple and gold, but turned out to be mostly-black an butter.

I would just check with OP if they plan to run samples with GMK (as is done with most kits that use custom pantone colors) before going into production.

If anyone is absolutely gunning for this to get run sooner rather than later, then I'll gladly hand over the reigns to someone else, just not a great time for me to be trying to figure Keeb stuff out!

Mmm... I've followed this set since it got announced here and have been eager to hear more about it as well.

I even tried reaching out to OP in late March this year if I could somehow take over and try and salvage what I can, given I do not have the original files etc. Given my non-existent experience in keyset design, I planned on working with vendors and keyset designers to get this ball rolling but THRILLHOIAF never replied. He's been online but seems inactive.

The reason why I am writing this is that we all know a few keyset designs that get stuck in IC, OP goes silent but the community still eager for that keyset. Would it be bad taking over and iterating a set like this without THRILLHOIAF's permission? It sounds wrong, I agree but well... what else is there to do, let beautiful ideas rot away?

I do apologise for resurrecting a dead thread and possibly sounding like a cash-grab by wanting to take over this but I think it's enough time waiting for a silent approval that can take ages, or never happen at all.

no problem with this if the contact has been attempted— it’s the only option forward no? and it’s been my hope since it’s rise and death

very exciting either way, and i’m sure working with a team would be smart to try imitate/ move the idea forward

I even tried reaching out to OP in late March this year if I could somehow take over and try and salvage what I can, given I do not have the original files etc. Given my non-existent experience in keyset design, I planned on working with vendors and keyset designers to get this ball rolling but THRILLHOIAF never replied. He's been online but seems inactive.

The reason why I am writing this is that we all know a few keyset designs that get stuck in IC, OP goes silent but the community still eager for that keyset. Would it be bad taking over and iterating a set like this without THRILLHOIAF's permission? It sounds wrong, I agree but well... what else is there to do, let beautiful ideas rot away?

I do apologise for resurrecting a dead thread and possibly sounding like a cash-grab by wanting to take over this but I think it's enough time waiting for a silent approval that can take ages, or never happen at all.
Please funder we need this!!

no problem with this if the contact has been attempted— it’s the only option forward no? and it’s been my hope since it’s rise and death

very exciting either way, and i’m sure working with a team would be smart to try imitate/ move the idea forward

Please funder we need this!!

Please. I just want this keycap on my keyboard.

I'll wait a small while to hear more feedback but I'm very keen to take over.  :p

Well, you understand I can't give you such a promise? :eek:
Without any real R&D I can't vouch for offering the same kits, same price or whatever OP tried to get around to back in 2018

Yeah can't really imagine the base kit in the OP staying as it is given the current state/market of GMK sets and their kitting. Will keep my eye out for updates

Terribly sorry for the lack of communication everyone.

Fell out of the MK and custom keycap design hobby after SA By the Sea wrapped up!

I've handed all artwork svg's, original kit json's, and pantone info to user ttom, the guy who ran GMK N9 ortho, GMK WoB extensions, GMK Deep Navy, GMK Fuji, GMK Cyrillic WoB & Beige etc.

Again,

really sorry for the lack of communication on a set you are all interested on! The set is in good hands and fingers crossed it generates enough interest to come to fruition!

I'm sorry for completely ghosting your message my friend. I don't have notifications set up for GH messages -- handing over to ttom wasn't meant to be a slight to you, or any of the fine folks here who PM'd me to offer assistance or takeover.... I'm awful with replying to PM's in a timely fashion, or simply catching them to begin with... I saw ttom's PM over on Reddit and immediately sorted it without even checking up on my GH account.

Forgiveness to all for trying to keep GMK GKMC alive

Hope to see new updates on this set. At least, we have the blessing from the designer now.
