[IC] GMK Future Funk ✨

[iZac02]

Looks great! been planning a purple setup and these are gunna be perfect

[click clack jack]

This is money in the honey, sonny!

[harlekein]

Hiragana Legends and Latin Sublegends kinda like the laser ones but inverted would look sick imo

Please no. At least now us Colevrak folk can buy this alpha kit instead.

[kema]

Just a quick question, Is this how icon mod enter is gonna look?
Just wondering if it is intentional or a small mistake
(Never seen an icon enter like this)

It’ll be the regular GMK one, that was just a Unicode arrow for the sake of mocking it up.

Renders for the kits and keyset on keyboards to come 👌✨

Please add UK ISO to this base kit.  I love this set and really want to buy.

[prangano]

In for Base + Light alphas + Icons

[digid3ar]

can we get another tab in white alphas? in that way we can build 2, 60% from  both sets instead of just one

[stoffelduss]

The alternatives for F and J (and the japanese equivalents), are they the other kind of homing (dished or barred) or without homing markings? In other words, what kinds of homing keys are included?

Sorry for the late reply, there will be regular (non-homing), and barred versions for F, J, は, and ま keys ✌️

ne pricing avail?

[SpringWind]

Very interested in this set, I'll almost certainly join GB.
I'm delighted that Yushakobo has joined the vendor!

[grundlemere]

Super cool. In the renders the base color looks almost black. How close is it to black? Been looking for a CMYK set for a while and this might be even better—CMYK without being so on the nose.

Probably in for a base set, maybe Hiragana depending on $$$ situation after Christmas.

We’ll be requesting quotes from GMK very soon ✌️

Me too! The manager/owner seemed very into the set when I showed him!

Here’s some comparisons:

Any chance of a RAMA cap?

Yup, should have info on that very soon ✌️

[binxberry]

I’m still waiting on my laser set and told myself I can’t go in on another right now but after seeing the second desk mat, I threw that thought out the window. Probably in for base, 40s, and space bars, plus that mat. Guess this is gonna be my first major purchase of 2020 lol. Here’s to the future!

Please add UK ISO in some form.  Love this set and need it for the VN keeb.

A NorDeUK kit is where that would live, but I'm not confident it would make MOQ seeing as many sets have failed to meet it (or required EU vendors to buy it out). Also only 10 form responses out of 400+ have asked for some form of ISO (with only 4 for UK ISO).

Hey any idea how long this gb will run for? I want to go all in, but I just moved house, so gotta watch my finances. Love the set, though. Dark with hiragana is what I've been looking for without even knowing it!

It should run for about 4 weeks, exact end time will be announced before the GB starts ✌️

Wonderful! I can make it align with paychecks then I'm all in! Can't wait

Not so, the recent Ursa set totally dispelled that myth.  People are buying ISO when it is made available.  Please consider adding it, I have waited for this kit since the start, I think it is one of the best from 2019.

Olivia++ ISO orders: 3.2% of Base.
Ursa ISO orders: 23.4% of Base.

One theory: Ursa had novelty ISO enter keys, Olivia++ did not.

Disagree. GMK Dark (not gonna make it), Nautilus nightmares (didn't make MOQ, only made because drop), SA Yuri (whew), Carbon R2, SA Sunday morning (didn't make MOQ), Jamon, Oblivion V2, and Olivia++ show it's under 5% of the base kit orders, and it's often about 3%. So if you've got a 1K set, maybe you get 50 orders. If you don't have a hit, it's not going to make it. EDIT: Yugo didn't make it either. EDIT: GMK Phosphorus didn't make it.

Ursa put a novelty there and one that has buying clout at that. Like, the visage of QE2 on there might sell more per capita in the UK, but a lotta people from around the world like Paddington.

EDIT: What did clear 5% as a solo kit? 9009, Ursa. Other methods of success appear to be pairing it with the numpad (Minimal) or alt spacebars (GMK voyage)

Hey all, unfortunately we’ve decided to cut the Ergo and Mac kits from the group buy since it’s unlikely to make the 100 unit MOQ, especially since we have so many kits already and with all the sets running in Jan/Feb. 🥺

[octix]

This set has really grown on me, loving it! GL with the group buy

I'm sad about this decision but it's an understandable one. Some sets have 25/30 MOQ for less popular kits. I guess that's not the case here.

[iliketimex]

Please do not cut the Mac kit. It is no big deal if it doesn't make MOQ if people don't want it. But this set is being run with a Japan vendor and I know there are a lot of people who greatly prefer Mac modifiers to PC modifiers. Please let the order take place and then if it doesn't get to MOQ, it's not a big deal. You can always state on the order page that MOQ is strict and will be adhered to, and only the sets that make MOQ will be run. Thanks for the consideration.

This is an amazing set, the icon mods are great.

aww no ergo. shame. oh well. glwgb

From what I understand it’s not just if it doesn’t make MOQ then no big deal, the vendor takes on a larger burden because they lose money and time on refunding everyone. That being said let me talk to TKC to see if we could run it, as I also personally only use Mac for all my design/photo/video work.

Update: Want to be transparent, the Mac kit as is would retail for over $50 based on GMKs quote, nobody wants to pay that for just 4 keys. Could just do text mods or only icon mods and request a requote, but if they don’t get back to us in time, or we can’t get the price down enough, Mac kit won’t be happening. Hope you all can understand.

Update 2: Thought about it for a long while, text only or icon only would just alienate the other, so we won’t be running it. Sets like MoDo Light are able to more easily fit in a Mac kit because they only need to cater to text only.

Okay I didn't consider the refund aspect. I guess that would only work if people were charged after the GB ended. Thanks for the information.

[donan]

Jesus dude you are going all out with this set, loads of renders, loads of kits and, that awesome deskpad, brass cap and now this goddamn teaser?! now i gotta buy!

[antx1701]

Hard to tell, but the legends on the light alphas is the same dark purple used in the rest of the set?

[hyppialonso]

Are the prices going to be released only after the GB starts?

[kema]

Yup the same dark purple ✌️

Pricing should be available tomorrow ✌️

[Zombo]

What are the GMK colors for the light alphas?

[Tyson]

What are the GMK colors for the light alphas?

It looks like the Light alphas are GMK WS1 and the legends are Pantone 2695C

[hellotp]

I went from "oh this is a nice set" to "in for 4 kits."

Do you happen to have a render of the light alphas with the cyan spacebar?

[kema]

Got the US (The Key Company) pricing, international to follow within a couple days:

Kit	MOQ	Price
Base Kit	250	$145.00
Light Alphas	100	$80.00
Hiragana	100	$65.00
Icon Mods	100	$85.00
40s/Ortho	100	$65.00
Spacebars	100	$25.00

I went from "oh this is a nice set" to "in for 4 kits."

Do you happen to have a render of the light alphas with the cyan spacebar?

Awesome! I don't have a render with that configuration atm and our render artist is super busy grinding out the new renders we need before launch 😅

[nasp]

Wow! Those prices are... expensive.

So a 40's users is expected to shell out $210 just for the base kit and the 40's kit?

[KingOfMemes]

I went from "oh this is a nice set" to "in for 4 kits."

Do you happen to have a render of the light alphas with the cyan spacebar?

Yup. Splitting Hiragana and Icon mods from a base kit did it for me. Count me in for Hiragana, Icon mods, and spacebars

[kema]

Because the set uses 6 colors, with 5 being custom, the GMK quote was pretty high and TKC prices at 250 MOQ only. One option could be to get light alphas + 40s and swap with someone's dark alphas.

For reference GMK Oblivion base was also priced $145 @ 250 MOQ and GMK Dracula $135 @ 500 MOQ I believe, but we don't expect to do nearly as well as either of them. 😫

[scoopbb]

big yikes on those prices. liked the set but will be a definite pass.

[Kokaloo]

Just for clarification so I don't think I'm crazy and end up making a mistake, just getting the hiragana alphas and the icon mods have enough coverage for a 60/65% right?
