I am planning to do other various small packages:

1x Blanks
6.25x/7x Space Bars:
An Eraser Pack, http://i.imgur.com/L7zpKWc.jpg, but with different legends
17 keys White on RGBY set

Greens: 2.75x, 2.25x, 1.75x, 1x Fn
Red: 2 - 1.5x, 2 - 1.25x, 1x Red Esc
Blue: 2 - 1.5x, 2 - 1.25x

I like the Coffee and Cream idea with a slightly more red toned / less yellow cream and brown.

Yolch came up in the Calm Depths GB as a possible color scheme. I like it but I vote SoWaRe or Purple and Pink.
Title: Re: 3 new GMK sets
Post by: Photoelectric on Sat, 05 October 2013, 20:50:53
Purple and Pink.

I'd vote for that too :)  Also gray + pink.

Anything dolch + different legends is fine in my book. Purple would be nice, but it would be low contrast. Blue or yellow would look baller!

Classic beige or coffee and cream for sure.

I like the Coffee and Cream idea with a slightly more red toned / less yellow cream and brown.

I like how you are thinking.  Something like a burgundy.  I was thinking this too for another set.  I think it was the RGB set.

Burgundy, Lime Green, and Sky Blue (the original Desko RGB blue).

Call it the Red Velvet set, I would buy that.

If MOQ is reached,

the price will be as follows most likely

$80 for an 87 keyset, $18 for winkeyless (includes 2 1x Window key (either blank or pad printed for windows), $19 for a 17 numberpad, and somewhere along $35-40 for an extension set. 

A set of 112 keys (87, 17 keypad, and winkeyless) will be around $105-115.

If you also let us know which key you liked best in the extension set, then it can be either cheaper than the $35-40 cost, but it will be more set.

There is a reason the prices have raised, and I will explain this more in the future.  Many things were factored in raising the cost including the price we get it at.  I will make a post about this soon in the future.

I was hoping for a purple set. Purple mods with a lilac font and lilac alphas with a purple font.

Handarbeit is pretty purple.  This purple will be darker than the existing purple mod set.
If anyone has an extra Purple mod set, CMYK, and an ESC pack, please sell it to me.  It will help us a lot!
I have a color ring I will show as well soon in case you guys may like the color.

I also wanted to mention we will be selling a bunch of different colored Esc keys, some blanks maybe if people are interested, and 6.25x/7x space bars in various colors.

One of the Esc keys is a Magenta on Cyan for that Miami look.  I think these colors will go good with each other.

I think of GMK sets as being "sophisticated" in terms of their color offerings so far.  Personally I'd stick with combinations that continue that trend rather than going with "gamer combos".  Some unusual / uncommon colors would be interesting.

Another unusual combination I've just thought of is pale cyan + burgundy or brown.

Also another member helped me with an idea.

Black on Eraser color pink.  This pink is the one below the Magenta color.

http://i.imgur.com/L7zpKWc.jpg

There will be 2 Backspace keys and 2 Delete keys.  The Delete will be "Delete" and "X".  The backspace will be "Backspace" and another font.

It's a 4 key pack.

The Dolch set is pretty close to this.  The modifiers are dark grey, but the alphas would need to be more graphite.  All it tastes is a set of Dolch + Alpha Graphite keys. 

Many people liked the raindrop as well.  All it tastes is the Classic Beige (blue font) + White on Blue Modifier keys.

The color is more like a sea foam greenish.  My girlfriend loves the color too haha.  The color is pretty neutral, but I am sure we can try to use it on some sets.

If majority of the sets are not liked.  What we can do is order Esc keys of combinations, and we will see which one looks the best.

My bad, sorry.  I only saw this picture once many months ago.

Hmmm CCnG (or CCnB as we were calling it) is not quite what I had in mind.  The CC part I would prefer to be replaced with actual white.

And the G of CCnG - I would prefer a richer blue.

Darker than Raindrop.

Do you have a set of the Classic Beige with the blue font?  The alpha keys are white. 

If you own a set of the RGB keys, then you would know that the Blue is very nice as well.  Just imagine it with white font! http://i.imgur.com/E4Gfmfj.jpg

Can we order sets of blanks? There some wonderful colours in that ring of keycaps.

Thick blank GMK goodness would be cheaper no?

So many people would love this, including myself, but I can almost guarantee that it won't happen :(

Yeah, I put that in a post somewhere.  I'll add the information to the OP.

Wow seriously?

So excited for this! I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any info about this coming true.

Coffee & Cream has to be the FINAL one.  Just love that really old Retro look and feel of them.  We need more love for these ancient colours here on Geekhack instead of the "Blind the Sh*t out of you Bright Colourings".

The dolch-with-sky-blue would be amazing -- I'd probably also buy a purple set (though I would prefer it with purple-on-beige mods, which would break the two color thing).  Actually, how does dolch-with-blue or yolch fit the two color thing? Would it be all the lighter gray or all the darker gray or something?

I'm not sure how soware fits into the two-color restriction, either -- an entire board of very-light-blue-on-very-light-grey would look weird imo.

I changed it.  It seem like people did not get it, and the possibility of a sky blue Dolch would just be too awesome.  The cost would have to go up a little though.

I think the confusion comes from the fact that you have "Soware" and "Yolch" listed in the original post--and those are definitely more than 2-color sets.  And you even said yourself "and my favorite one is a Dolch set with a sky blue font".  So that's another vote for a 3-color set right in the OP.

That's true.  I think the cost goes up by a minimal amount, $2-5 / set? But if you multiply it by 400, then it's going to seem like A LOT again.

This is a German Police board.  They were made in very limited amounts.  The alpha keys are Olivetti legends with a white keycap (2M) while the mods have a more teal color.  Our white keycap (CP) is a little different.  As Dubs has noted to me, that color can be found on the Handarbeit set in the 17key pad as the ".Del" key.  The board shown has very faded keycaps from the sunlight.

But no matter what wins I'll probably buy it. GMK keycaps are just too good :D


Edit:

I just saw this was already mentioned. I hope you offer the 2 marked keys in the mod color as well for perfect symmetry!

In all honesty Dolch looks best and unique cause of the clean white legends..... I love the fact that Sherry is running the Handerbeit, its as unique or even more rare than the Dolch before it entered production. I like anything that comes from GMK, but as of now the only thing I'm excited about is the Habnderbeit and the RGBY, long live GMK!!! and Sherry too lol

I finally voted for Raindrop. Even if you only did the Modifiers I could easily use it with my vintage Cherry ISO DE sets:

When you say monotoned what you mean by that? we will have the retro style like the modifiers in brown color right? I think this deep cream color + nice/proper brown color for modifiers would be nice combo.

I would prefer CreamOnBrown Mods with BrownOnCream Alphas as well, but I am afraid monotone means all keycaps are the same. I am not sure though - let's wait for Sherryton to clarify :)

No, I just like the pale salmon-colored mods, hopefully paired with dark blue alphas. The image I posted doesn't capture the color quite right -- I think they would look awesome. Enough with the gray on slightly-more gray color schemes.

Let me rephrase: I want a teal + cream set.  It's close to Triumph Adler.  Hence the "code" name for that set.  I'd be happy with the stock GMK teal from Sherry's sampler.  Doesn't matter anyway, looks like it won't make it to the top of the list.

That's what it was called when I asked what it was earlier in the thread, so I went with it.  So a misunderstanding, as I also confused it with Royal typewriter colors, which are kind of faded bluish green.  Perhaps the person who called it TA also was confused.

That's what people are calling it now.  If you can tell behind the keycap, it's a teal-ish color.  The color on the outside is due to sunlight.

Those are actually from certain Royal Alpha typewriters (I don't know which specific models have MX switches, though, there are RD models with the same color of keycaps which are much more common).

Ok so this would be Royal Alpha, or something...

My vote was for TA, but i dont know if sherryton already carries a green tone keycap set in his store, if not, maybe  this green variant would appeal to a larger market.
 either way those 2 color schemes are pretty cool...

So true. The thickness and the Cherry font is just too good.

Unfortunately I am so addicted to keycaps that I buy the thin SP caps anyway if I like the color scheme. I guess there is just no help for me  :rolleyes:

It might be a bit close to the first set made with legends from the Cherry replica legends project, aka SmallFry set. Just a thought

It's not hate for Graphite, but the fact that it doesn't necessarily provide anything more than other similar colored sets already available or in GB. The difference that Graphite provided in regards to SP was a nice Dolch colored set with nicer legends on some of the caps. The legends are a bit out the door, as we're using Cherry legends, so there is no reason to me personally to go with Graphite.

Ever since I got the Esc key in that color from the last GMK GB, I've wanted a set of mods in that color scheme.  It would look awesome with Cherry beige.  Those Alphas are pretty awesome looking too.  Love that turquoise-ish color.

I think we need to jump back towards some key sets with color. The graphite set is too safe. The neutral colors make it popular, I think.

The Originative Dolch GB just ended. The DSA Dolch GB is in production. The new Dark Dolch GB is underway. We need a quality set with actual colors.

I would vote for purple but I can tell it's not to popular right now around here. And, we just finished the DCS Lilac GB.

In the end, I just want something nice with color.

I think that many people interest Dolch with Orange legend and quantity order can be great :)

Medium gray alphas, with Charcoal mods.

Orange on light grey alphas, unlike that set, which was all dark grey. But again, still going with the dolch... :/

Not much of a difference.  Can always just get medium gray alphas?

I mean, if you offered a set of medium gray alphas with Orange legends to mix and match with the set you have up now, that'd be cool.

When redoing colorways, I think it would be nice to go with things that are essentially impossible to put on a modern keyboard, Like Commodore colorway
(http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp349/lysol8086/0e30fc6f.jpg)
which has not been copied yet.

I also would like to see creamsicle which I suggested in the polling. V2/CP (think Skidata on a white/cream base) would look really nice I think.

That one is a G80-0499HAU which goes to the Commodore PC5. There is a later one G80-0915 from PC10 that is slightly different. Yes the legends are black on a kind of khaki and very creamy white.

The album is not done yet.

It looks like a marginal difference between the famicom and the burgundy.


Famicom has a more gold/brown legend. And Burgundy meant to be more of a lighter cream color.

I have a couple of color schemes that I would like see if the subject is still open for ideas. The first is a reverse Dolch and the second is with purple mods like a recent IvanIvanovich group buy with dark gray alphas like the Dolch (GX). Both ideas are kind-of a Dolch inspired theme. I would be interested in either and they could be mixed and matched.

I still think replacing the legend colour with dark brown is the way to go.  We need a truly decent, vintage,  colour-way which most are avoiding these days, can't understand why?

It would be different, with ideally two different, two-toned dark grey/black colors and then a different orange
but would look somewhat similar to skidata (which is just all charcoal)

Handarbeit is one of those things you're like WTF, then WANT, then your eyes start spinning as you try to try on it.

I don't mind if a lot of people go again for the Dolch, to me that matter is that Handerbeit will hit production no matter what.

You see Sherryton another FAN of this brilliant Colour-way.  Why ignore it since you've NEVER done it yet?  Always go were no man has gone before rather than sticking to the same old, boring rubbish.
that makes only 3 of us vs 50+ for "GREY"!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Here how goes next GB:
 
Sherry: He guys lets have another vote for the near by GB!!!! What color combos would you like to see?

Majority: group1: Black on gray ; group2: gray on black ; group3: Skidata with Dolch gray legends ; group4: gray on gray with a touch of black  :))

Minority (10 perhaps) who like to take chances and try something different: 2 tone Coffee/Cream ; Commodore ; Light blue/Navy blue white legends 

Final results for the next 2-3 GB ahead, "Gray" till people get bored, sick of it  :confused: and start shooting grey rainbow out their asses  :-*

It's not just as simple as picking a colour and running with it, Sherry needs to order 400 units to meet MOQ so he needs to make sure it will SELL too.

Ahh, the DG terminal.  I had one in the running for a group buy a while back that got nicknamed "The Deep" that's very similar (love the DG keyboard colors, same as the old S/140 dip switches).  Though I did have black text on the light blue keys.

Got one a bit closer to the DG color scheme.

white legends for all keys looks much better :)



That and I think, honestly, I like the updated blue colors a bit more as well.

That's unfortunately so true here.  He's a business man FIRST and everything else comes a very distant last.  If he knows GREY will sell, then there's nothing we can do to dissuade his final choice, like I said before some of us will stay in our dimly lit corners and wait out this GB - till something 'decent' comes along.

Of course I'm only speaking of myself here.  A lot thus far are still crazy for GREYS hence Sherry will make money no doubt, but if there are any other colours being made it's only going to be Handarbeit for the buy then a long time till any other colour spectrum will apprear on his website....  I'm at least glad he chose Handarbeit and not gone through some bullsh*t democratic procedure (which sucks actually in the real world).

I actually believe in a Centralist Regime that dictates what's to be done, rather than waste years planning on what might 'possibly' be done (and nothing happens).

Handarbeit is good as well because it covers a lot of different GMK colours, once it is done we can accurately judge what other colors would look good. Personally I'd love to have a set of just the red alphas.

I'm glad too that Handerbeit will go into production without people voting on it, I know that the next  1,2 perhaps 3 GB's will most likely be combinations with  gray's because a lot of people were unsure if they wanted to join the Dolch GB for X amount of reasons.

After few GB's past and all grey/black bullets have been shot, people would like to try something different, its only matter of time mark my word. As far as I care Dolch and Handerbeit can keep me well fed for a whole year, patience is a virtue and I got plenty of both  ;)

The thing with grey, it looks great on both black and white case keyboards and is not ostentatious looking. Stuff like colorful handarbeit is very cool, but many people wouldn't want to take that to work. Also grey is great to put on some colorful accent keys if you want a little something without going for over the top. Grey also doesn't look as bad as black when they get shiny.

It can get boring with the same thing over and over, or just small variations though. Many people don't realize something is good looking until they see some photos of the keys on actual keyboards.
Coffee and cream is something that would be a good colorway. That set I had is the only one I have seen still, and it was an odd set from unknown keyboard computer (like and apple IIe/C64 style) from 1984/1985. I would rather it all be the same base color though. I didn't really like the 2tone style when keypop made it with SP.

Ya our office clicks a lot now days. It took one person getting a blue filco and now 1/2 the office have mech keyboards.

The main reason why I am the strange one is because I buy keycap sets. They don't get why the caps the board came with arnt good enough and can't imagine why you would spend as much on the keycaps as you do on the keyboard.

It's tough to go back to stock filco caps after using thick pbt for a while though.

That Famicon would look amazing on my white-framed Rosewill, but alas, I voted for the Dolch colored Dolch because I'm having a heck of a time finding a double-shot set for the 3rd gen Das model S Pro I use at work.  When I ordered it I did not know that Das had modified the bottom row to make room for a function key.  I am tempted to get the Handarbeit set for it, but I'm afraid it would send the PFY into uncontrollable nerdgasms. (his word - not mine)

By the way Sherry, any chance of getting an extra 1x Win key added to a tsangan set for my aforementioned 3rd gen Das?  I think I voted in time with my extras request, but I'm not sure.  I'm happy to spring for a tsangan to accomodate my odd-ball layout, but not two of them.  Most tsangan sets seem to have enough other extras to make it work, but that second Win key is rare.

Oh, and if anyone is willing to answer my newb question, what program do you guys use to make your keyboard color mockups?  I have an Idea that I think would look really fantastic.

Originaly Tsangan kits never came with x1 keys for R4, whenever there was SP GB the X1 keys usually were added to a separate extension set.

I actually asked Sherry if he can  include 2 x1 keys to the Tsangan kit and he did that, that's why the price went from $15 to $17 on the Tsangan, it makes sense because a lot of people have the Cheat layout and not only winkeyless 1.5 modifiers.

Sherry Tsangan will have 4x 1.50 ,  2 x1 , x7 space bar. Why on earth you need one more x1 key? you need 3 of them?.....

Because Das decided to squeeze in a separate function key between the left control key and windows key, and to make room they squashed the windows keys and menu key down to 1x.  That puts a total of four 1x keys on the bottom row.  Most of the images Das put online are inaccurate, even on the big splash page for the product.  The picture on the box the keyboard came in is not accurate.  This image here http://www.daskeyboard.com/product/model-s-professional/  is NOT an image of the final product.  If I had know that they had changed the size of the modifiers I wouldn't have bought it.

I would have rather just not had a function key, but I bought the keyboard refurbished on E-Bay without a proper description.  Das has an E-bay account ans they occasionally dump their refurbs there for about half price.  They didn't mention anything about the media keys being present, and when it came with them I didn't think anything of it at the time.

The only thing that bugs me about laptop function keys is when they put it where the left control key should be and shift control to the right.  I had to support a fleet of Gateway laptops with that particular design flaw.

I'll have to measure the space bar and take pictures on Monday.  The spacebar looks a touch shorter than standard and is offset a bit to the right.  They must have taken .25 units off of it as well.  The product photo on Amazon looks correct.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008PFABI8/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p147_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0K066FD34E384GZD2AAJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1630072222&pf_rd_i=507846

As long as it doesn't clash too much with the color scheme I really don't mind the space bar not matching perfectly.

Benoit bro the space bar is not 6.25, very close but not.... here is why:

- Standardi ANSI 1.25 x7 = 8.75 modifiers layout

- New DAS ANSI  (4 x 1.25 = 5.0) + (4 x 1.0 = 4.0)  = 9.0 modifiers layout

Sorry to break it down for you bro, but your space bar is shorter than the standard one :(

and boards such as Razer, CM TK, Corsair and apparently your new DAS model  have the worst sizing space bars + weird modifiers, modifiers are doable cause u can always find them in x1, x1.25 and x1.5 but the space bar you can not. There is a possibility for future Signature Plastic GB to make this space bar available for the Corsair,CM TK,Razer and DAS, that's me assuming the size is the same and the stem placement for the switch and stabilizers. Its a long shot but if enough people show interest it might just happen for SP GB's. On another hand this happening with GMK will be harder, lets hope for ur sake lots of people express interest for space bars like this.

Possibly, my other option is to leave the board stock and if a really sweet keycap set comes along I can buy a keyboard for it.  There are enough developers at work.  I can find a lightly used mechanical a good home. :)

White on black would be ok I guess if Handerbeit isn't considered, but we need the 16 keys RGBY on white  to compliment the white on black full sets. Was hoping for the Handerbeit but I guess that's out of question.

If white on black gets picked, I'll probably flip my ****. There are so many white on black caps as it is. And it's not like anything new will be offered, such as there might have been if lysol ran a GB for that set, so what's the point?

I was hoping for something different too aka Handerbeit,coffee/cream, Soware and not hoping for  gray or black or any sort of dark colors....  but wow I think we will see grays and blacks for the next 2-3 GMK GB's at least.

Okay lets stop guys.  Soware is in the lead.  If all goes well, we'll proceed with Soware.  The reason why I wanted the white on black set to be made is because it's available to everyone, and it is hard to obtain all the good keys.  I dislike the moogle kit.

For white on black the easiest to get are G81-7000, G81-8000 and G80-8113 or 8200. In general none of those give a full doubleshot 100% fitting set for other keyboard. Almost always need to get 2 of those to get the set you want. A good small white on black adapter set would probably do ok for many people with 1.25, 1.5 control and alt, 1.25 win and menu, 2.75 shift, 2.25 enter, 1.75 fulltouch caps lock, 1.5 \|, the nav 6pack, 2x 0 key, 1x2 + and spacebars in 6.25 and 7 since GMK have 6.25 with 'normal' stem positions so you can use them on non Cherry keyboards.

now this sounds much better, I have white on black set that I bought from ebay G81-7000 board and caps have no shine since the board was new. Nice extension set as u propose would revive many white on black GMK salvaged caps.

Post by: Dubsgalore on Wed, 23 October 2013, 12:05:40
Soware!!..(woot woot)..

Sure a addon tsangan/moogle kit for WoB would be nice, but why not just add in the alphas and make a normal set? I don't think many realize here that it could be cheaper for GMK to produce seeing the colors involved...sure there are a LOT of white on black caps, but how many NIB sets are left? i'd rather have a nice, new set then a new tsangan and some grubby old alphas...

I trust in everyone's opinion here, and i think a full WoB set should be in order, it only makes sense
Title: Re: 3 new GMK sets
Post by: bueller on Wed, 23 October 2013, 12:21:00
Definitely keen on an extension set. How about a R2 of the Purple mods but in a different color? I think blue or dark red would both look amazing!
Title: Re: 3 new GMK sets
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Wed, 23 October 2013, 12:25:37
In an ideal world could do both the smaller adapter kit and full set. Shame the MOQ makes that become a lot harder. Even if sherry went my way and sold seperate mods+nav and alphas it could end up with a bunch of extra alpha only sets that won't move. It's a tough thing. Due to pricing some people only want to finish a set on the cheapest way possible so don't mind to have some used keys. If you use them for any amount of time they are going to get all shiny anyway.

I'm planing on doing another buy for some smaller mods pack and other little things too real soon since the white on dark grey and black isn't moving. Probably do one retro style, and try for another one that more bold/colorful again.
Title: Re: 3 new GMK sets
Post by: esoomenona on Wed, 23 October 2013, 12:38:44
I have like two new sets of WoB, and at least a couple others in good condition, and a couple more shiny. I could use the mods more than anything.

As far as white on black, I don't see boxes of G80-8113H**US (or G80-8200 H**US) in his van, 'cause as far as I know, that's the only full sets you'll get of those that are qfr compatible and the windows and menu mods still are pad print.

Yeah and because its so similar to this colorway.  Also GMK's MOQ is stupid high.  We barely hit MOQ for the purple mods and I don't even think CMYK hit MOQ.

I got the 55, 62 and 67g Korean springs x2 each, and a few of the GMK Red Esc and the "Ski Data" set. I'm worried the bottom row won't fit on my filco though! Looks like WKL layout with 1.5x mods TT

All good, the Skidata has mods and space bar for both winkeyed and winkeyless  boards.

I want to thank everyone for the massive support on the next item.  I will close this for now.  Expect to see it happening :)
