[GB] GMK Red Alert - shipping confirmed Jan/Feb 2023!
« on: Thu, 04 March 2021, 16:47:34 »
GMK Red Alert


Hubble 65 by Yoni and Mechs & Co with GMK Red Alert.
Render by pikku-allu.

Thanks to the following people for approving this Group Buy:
  • Seoulcialite (the last runner of DCS Red Alert)
  • Ragnorock (runner of white-on-red Red Alert back in 2012)
  • Photekq (runner of GMK Red Alert in 2015)
  • Warren (runner of GMK Classic Red)

I have additionally reached out to sixty and uranium, the first runners of Red Alert, and will update this IC when (if, unfortunately...) they write back.

Red Alert has run various times throughout the years. It first ran during 2011 as OTD Red Alert thanks to sixty and uranium, who worked extremely hard with SP to perfect their custom legends almost a decade ago.
 
Five years after the last group buy - and with approval from many previous RA runners - I have revived this classic colorway for a new wave of keyboard enthusiasts. The updated base kit has been paired with odes to OTD Red Alert and vintage Cherry keysets, including two Ramas approved by Cherry.



Interest Check Thread

Looking forward to joining this weekend. That two-color brass Rama is amazing. My wallet and I are having a bit of a disagreement about how many to buy. I've been thinking it has a silver finish, didn't realize it is brass. So is it more silver-ish or gold-ish in color? (Sort of hard to tell on my monitor.)

By the way, is it true Rama's are a one off so no future R2 of the cherries?

That's correct. These Cherry Ramas will never run again.

EDIT Missed your question, sorry! The brass Rama with light gold PVD will match the Sandstorm Rama pictured below.

Damn. I realized I've done this privately but not publicly, so:

Thank you so so much to Oblotzky and Lightning for the guidance on reaching out to Cherry. These two Rama designs would not exist without their tremendous support.

Iconic set, very cool kitting and novelties!

Is the base red intended to be the same as the 2015 Hammer run? I suppose it’s anyone’s guess how close the color will match even if they are the same Cherry color code, but curious how the numrow would look with my older set 🤔

All kits ordered.  I have the original run but I wanted another set, and those RAMAs were not to be missed. Having UK ISO in the base is really cool and the classic compute set was not to be missed.  Great set all round and very well done to all.

Thank you so much! I was in touch with a number of UK folks early on during this process. Adding UK ISO was my thanks to them.  :-*

Is the base red intended to be the same as the 2015 Hammer run? I suppose it’s anyone’s guess how close the color will match even if they are the same Cherry color code, but curious how the numrow would look with my older set 🤔

I have zero clue, I've never even held the 2015 Hammer run before. All I can say is that this red will be matched to P3, which wasn't available as a stock GMK color back then. I believe it first debuted with Ceresia.

Ah okay, no problem then. I'll probably join for it all then :)

The 2015 run's "red" actually has a strong orange tint to it, so it's probably for the best that it's not aligned with that run.

Yeah, that one used V1. At Pwner’s suggestion I looked into alternatives and preferred P3. Glad you agree.

I have got a sample of P3 on L9 in front of me (as you know, L9 is a tad darker than CP), and it is easy on the eyes with good contrast. Using P3 was definitely a good move.

This one got it all: R5, windowed keycaps, Cyrillics, RAMA...

Numbers for the first 2-3 days, with a few caveats:

  • Not all vendors are reporting.
  • Some vendors did not list RA on their sites until late on Friday or early Saturday local time, while we finalized the listing.

Base - 65
OG Number Kit - 40
Extension - 30
Cyrillics - 17
Red Rama - 49
Brass Rama - 50

Thank you to everyone who has supported Red Alert so far. These attach rates are insane!

I'm curious to see progress to MOQ by the end of the first week, but I remain very committed to making this set available to everyone.

I feel _much_ better five days into GB. Usual story applies: not all vendors reporting, some numbers stale, no extras included.

Base - 95
Numrow - 60
Extensions - 40
Cyrillics - 24
Red Rama - 65
Brass Rama - 68

Base, Numrow and Extensions are all well on track, and I'm not too worried about Cyrillics at this point either (seems to be attaching at 23% after the first weekend pop, suggesting we'll get to 100 naturally).

Numbers for just under one week into the GB:

Base - 112
Numrow - 75
Extension - 50
Cyrillics - 30
Red Rama - 84
Brass Rama - 79

Takeaways:
 - We're on our way to hitting 500 MOQ on the base kits. Could use a nudge, so don't wait if you're interested.
 - Child kits are doing very well!

Also, don't sleep on this lovely artisan cable by Sui Paracords. Available at Mechs & Co.

Progress this week

Base - 138
Numrow - 92
Extension - 60
Cyrillics - 38
Red Rama - 100
Brass Rama - 112

Takeaways:

- Progress towards base kit MOQ has slowed down. We could definitely use a nudge here.
- If we get there on the base kit, OG Number Kit is basically confirmed for production.

I've also tossed some renders of Petrichor into the original post.

Progress this week

Base - 138
Numrow - 92
Extension - 60
Cyrillics - 38
Red Rama - 100
Brass Rama - 112

Takeaways:

- Progress towards base kit MOQ has slowed down. We could definitely use a nudge here.
- If we get there on the base kit, OG Number Kit is basically confirmed for production.

I've also tossed some renders of Petrichor into the original post.

Come on people, this set has to live, it is part of your heritage as a keyboard enthusiast.  Check your past out.  If you don't own a set of this there is something wrong with you.  Not every keyboard out there wants hangul purple DSA on it.  Some of the original cool keyboards rocked GMK Red Alert.

Trust me, if you don't buy this set you will regret it.  After the sale has ended, this thread will have at least one new post a week saying 'Cool caps, when GB start' or something just as annoying as that and that will mean it pops up in my Watched list all the time which is fooking annoying.

So listen up keyboard fans, drop some love on this set, it is retro, cool and worth bragging about and stop looking at hangul purple dsa sets with manga novelties.

Well, I joined GMK Birch and that set looks way better than this. Heritage or not, this old colorway will always be shadowed by many good sets with very modern colors currently in ICs or GBs. There are good classic and mediocre classic, I think RA belongs to the latter; for good classic sets: Oblivion, Night Runner, etc.

1) This is your opinion. I'm glad you like the set, but it's totally irrelevant here.

2) Birch is a render. The set hasn't even been made yet, and the real colors are still TBD. Saying the set "looks better" off a render isn't realistic.

3) It's pretty ****ty to go into other GBs and say "well [BLANK] looks better". It's poor form. Similar to going to twitch streams, and talking about other streamers. Rude.

The numbers don't necessarily reflect the quality of the set. It's running against one of the most popular set in the hobby after 2 months of other popular rereleases. People just don't have the money to buy it. I know I don't.

I've only been in the hobby for a little over a year (aka still waiting on GBs), and just registered to say this has to make it. This set is gorgeous. It's also the first time I've opted-in for a RAMA Artisan.

Think its more a mix of it being pretty expensive and having many other options to buy other sets. In general it seems more nostalgic for the actual buyers while many newer people or even older might just prefer something that is different than what was up beforehand like this set

Wow, uh. Hi everyone! Thank you all for the lively discussion.

I think it is absolutely okay to say the following things:
  - GMK Red Alert is a classic set in various senses: beige, simply-designed, pairing well with all sorts of muted keyboards (gray, black, white, tan).

  - GMK Red Alert lacks some of the character of some newly-popular sets, like GMK Night Runner's amazing legends or GMK Oblivion's IDE-influenced modifiers or the incredible groundbreaking chairs of GMK Birch ;)

  - GMK Red Alert is also not a new classic, like some of the sets completing or running R2 now (Dots, Striker, Bento).

We're at an interesting and fun place right now: meme sets like Handarbeit and Dots are popular enough to justify re-runs, pastel sets are selling gangbusters, other sets become successful thanks to gamers. Things didn't look like this even two years ago when I first joined the hobby, much less in 2015 when GMK Red Alert last ran.

So...RA is none of these, and that's okay. I'm running RA as a service for the people who really want it. If you like it, support it. If you don't, support whatever you like. We're all on the same team. :)

Oh, two last things, since I've been asked a few questions about it:

I will never re-run GMK Red Alert again. Given how it's performing, I don't know if anyone will run it again.

Also, I will also probably never run any set again. Whether RA succeeds or not, I've accomplished my goals with keyset design (whatever the hell "keyset design" means, am I right?)

So if you miss RA here (either in GB or extras), I highly doubt there will be another chance.

Finally got around to picking up a set. Brilliant work on it all, praying it hits MOQ.

Sorry if I missed it, or if it's common knowledge, but how come the base set MOQ is 500? Is it just relating to the price points given?

Photekq! Thank you so much for your help getting this to GB, and thanks for your support!!

MOQ is 500 at this GB pricing based on GMK's quoting. Adding the R5 profile pushed up the manufacturing quote enough that, even running only three stock colors, and with a relatively standard base kit configuration, a $135 GB price made the most sense for vendors.

Meanwhile, the Cyrillic child kit is bearing some cost for new GMK doubleshot molds for Latin + Cyrillic alphas. Those are not pad-printed Cyrillics.

Oh, two last things, since I've been asked a few questions about it:

I will never re-run GMK Red Alert again. Given how it's performing, I don't know if anyone will run it again.

Also, I will also probably never run any set again. Whether RA succeeds or not, I've accomplished my goals with keyset design (whatever the hell "keyset design" means, am I right?)

So if you miss RA here (either in GB or extras), I highly doubt there will be another chance.
I apologize if I offended you with my previous comment, that was unwise of me to say so. About the part that you mention you'll never run any sets again, people might disagree, your Birch is the new classic, it needs rerunning in the future. That set is a killer.

This is a great set, I think the big issue is there are so many high desirable sets that have been running so close to each other within the last couple of months. I can't think of any other time with this amount of quantity of popular sets running in this close a time frame. Also a bunch of custom keyboard GBs ran recently also draining people's wallets.

Thank you so much for the support.

To be clear, I'm not stepping away because of anything about the community. But since developing Birch and RA, my little man has grown into a slightly-larger man, and I want to be present for him. I'm stepping away to be with my family and try out some other creative venues.

These days meme sets seem to do very well.. It can be disappointing for those who value classic sets like RA, but it's just a result of more people than ever being in the hobby, all with diverse tastes, and many of whom don't feel a great level of nostalgia for classic like RA (or 9009, Dolch etc)

Thank you all!! For those asking: vendors were satisfied with order trends to date and confident we’d hit enough sales by April 9th to justify manufacturing the set.

Other sets keep coming up in this thread for some reason. Like I said before: there’s room for everyone’s preferences for keycaps in our community.

All kits of GMK Red Alert will be made.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to once again collaborate with TRMK Caps, this time on a set of GMK Red Alert artisans.



I appreciate a different sculpt with each release - I loved the Birch Rob & Max and Iron Osas. But for this one it’s hard to choose between all three.

You’ll get your chance to choose tomorrow, March 26th at 9pm ICT (that’s 10am EST for folks stateside).

Agreed! I was back and forth on the base kit because I REALLY like the way this looks, but in the end, I decided to uphold my NorDE-only policy (and obviously, with the current numbers, about three people besides me would have bought a NorDe kit), but that brass Rama just could not be passed up and will find it's place on another classic-looking board. :) Nice work on this, break! I hope you get bored with your planned hiatus quickly and come back soon with another cool set like this. /Johannes

I hope you get bored with your planned hiatus quickly and come back soon with another cool set like this. /Johannes

All right, you know what, I cracked! The pressure was on, and Mykeyboard was just not at all closing this down and I cracked and bought all kits! Now I don‘t want any judging looks, I just did what I needed to do.

It will just go so exceptionally well with upcoming my silver and red Onyx that I will just need to remember where the brackets and everything are. And I will. So thank you for making this and getting all the cool Cherry caps in there. I really glad I got in on this at the very, very last second. /Johannes

You see, everyone came round to thinking correctly in the end.  Even Jo had to give in and become one with the Red Alert.  Very well done break.

I'm so happy we made MOQ! i was banking on JTK classic Cyrillic, but that set got cancelled. would have sucked donkey butt if this was canned too. the cherry RAMAs are the cherry on top (pun intended)

my dumb ass put the set in my cart and forgot to check out rip

F indeed. happened to me with moondust but i ended up snagging an extra from dailykek, albeit at a steep markup. good luck

Today is Break Updates Geekhack Day, apparently!

No major major news on RA, except to say that Mechs & Co and I are now estimating fulfillment during Q3 2022. This represents a 6-month delay to the original estimate, which I'm extremely sorry about. Wild times we're living in. I can assure you, though, that the M&C team and I are providing GMK with any materials or info they require in a timely manner.

Hoping I'll have more positive news next time I update yall.

My goodness it's been far too long, and I'm incredibly sorry for not updating you all.

RAMA caps landed with vendors at the top of this month, so you can either expect them soon (if you ordered them separately from a GB order) or bundled with your GB order.

Still slated for manufacturing "soon," no updates beyond that at the moment. Next update should be a fun one.

DCS Pingmaster that I've got for over a month now (And that's after it's been recalled to fix 2U caps) is still at the point of Shipping to vendors/Shipping to customers, so I have some doubts about Trello having accurate and up-to-date information.

supposedly mechs and co has a trello where they keep updates but i haven't been able to access it

This link works for me - https://trello.com/b/1f27cv5r/mechs-co-product-status

would much prefer email or gh updates, with discord in a distant third

Hi folks, sorry for the lack of updates. I’m just as excited as you all are to receive this.

Unfortunately I’ve heard no new information from GMK or my vendors re: RA. Last update placed us in the production queue with a completed banderole.

Thanks for the update, easily the most anticipated set for me. Looking forward to it and don’t mind the wait, it’s worth it. I always keep my banderole but I’m going to make sure this one stays pristine!

Latest I’m hearing is that GMK expects to ship Red Alert during the month of December. This delay falls entirely on me, apparently I was slow on providing a banderole design. I apologize, folks.

Mechs & Co tells us that (1) GMK Moonlight is about to ship and (2) GMK RA will ship after. So it seems like we're a few weeks out from shipping, at a minimum, followed by a few weeks to arrive at M&C.

I'm personally now expecting the set to arrive stateside in February 2023, with fulfillment to follow.

I've seen a screenshot of a shipped UK order! Seems like UK and EU customers may be receiving their kits soon.

Also heard that Mechs & Co expected GMK to ship last week, and M&C therefore expect to ship during early February.

Any info on the status of the brass Ramas? ProtoTypist has been received their alu ones, but has been waiting for the brass ones for months. All the while, other vendors have definitely received them as they pop up on mechmarket occasionally.

i'm located in the US, but i ordered from prototypist because it was $30+ cheaper than buying from the US vendor (go figure). my ordered arrived today, jan 25th.

thank you for making this happen for people like myself who missed out on the original red alert, and for birch as well. i bought both sets and both are amazing. i believe i remember reading you say that you were going to exit this hobby after this set. is so, that's a loss for us and good luck on whatever hobby you decide to pursue next

Thank you for the impossibly kind words. I’m happy to hear you’re satisfied with these projects.

Next up for me has been cooking! Provides lots of relief from the chaos of working parenthood, as well as faster feedback than the average keyset turnaround time. 😁

Any info on the status of the brass Ramas? ProtoTypist has been received their alu ones, but has been waiting for the brass ones for months. All the while, other vendors have definitely received them as they pop up on mechmarket occasionally.

Still nothing here. My last piece of news was that Rama had to remake these, and seems to be extremely backed up. From MyKeyboard.eu:

Quote
oh red alert not yet
nono, this is one of those we are waiting
we didnt egt even for 2 GBs that we have GMK sets in already
its not really good
but all of them Brass caps

I’ll try to get another update.

Sounds like that's something you should've considered before joining, but hey it's your money and your time so do as you please.

I won't begrudge anyone deciding to sell something they bought two years ago, and I encourage others to do the same.

Still continuing to see pics of kits in the wild. Nothing new from Mechs & Co, I suspect shipping will begin in the next week.

M&C must’ve heard me - they just sent word that kits have been received and should ship by the end of February.

Glad to hear you're enjoying. :)

I have heard folks are interested in seeing GMK Blue Alert. I'd love to run it (if I wasn't retired lol), but that's less straightforward - some other runners are exploring it though.

Would love to see a blue alert! Especially if the blue was on the darker side, and double especially if it was anything close to Olivetti.

I've been in communication with MyKB about this issue for some time. I can assure you it's not their invoices. There's a lot of...stuff...going on at Rama these days.

I'm STILL waiting for my brass Rama key purchased from ProtoTypist. Any news from Rama on when they'll send them out? (I'm aware that US/AU vendors have already received their keys, and I believe Mykeyboard are also yet to get them.)

Hi Break, I am once again asking about my Rama key. I appreciate it's out of your control, but perhaps you can get in touch with Rama for me and all the rest of us who are waiting?
