how much would the base kit cost?

About $100 I believe ($140 minus 30% was previously stated by OP).

[JJ]

damn that's good price if that's true

Some kit improvements!

Renamed Clout kit to Mist, Clout was probably a bit "5 am" brain on my part. It originated from some internal joke but that obviously didn't come through, Mist sounds nicer and more professional Also added a second b per suggestion of udler so you can use it on Alice layouts when combined with Obscure.



Removed the alternative ISO UK keys and added a R3 pipe for ISO-US support per suggestion of depletedvespene. Also added 1.25u and 1.5u Alt Gr keys, 1.25u Shift and the full 3 ISO keys. This means that users of Norde layouts won't need to purchase Addition, should make it a good bit cheaper! Do note though that kit price will go up compared to MDL for this since the previous kits were already sold at cost.

that's a pretty interesting tidbit. anyways, always cool to see feedback incorporated.

[scoopbb]

i doubt ill convince you but it would be pretty rad to do accents like taro r2 did in the 40s kit



same number of accents but allows for nicer look than just escapes.

[Hell-es]

Thanks for the change in norde - waiting for prices to decide

As a previous Base-Add-Norde Buyer, I really like this change. Thank you!

That also opens the consideration of the Alternate kit.

[Bl4ck]

In for a Base, Modern and Alternate, and Addition for ISO I guess

[KMPLSV]

any idea yet how long this GB will run? i know it was mentioned that it will be a "short run" but i'm curious about specifics.

[rondg]

Will there be RAMA artisans?

[FireLock]

Woohoo! Base+alternate and Norde it is !

The ISO-US layout is exactly what I needed. I'm planning a new build and wanted to try US layout but wanted to have the possibility to change back to my ISO-CH layout if I don't feel confortable on US layout :-)

Great set, definitely a must buy for me! I do have a hang up, though; considering that I use a UK ISO format, and I'm going to go all in on purchasing the Base with the Addition, Aesthetic and Modern kits, it's a little annoying that I would have to purchase the Norde set as well just for the addition of the ISO number 4 key cap (split dollar & symbol format). Is there any way that this single keycap could be included in the Addition set? I don't object to paying more for this one key, and as a completionist it would bug me if I didn't get it... Please advise!

I'm from the UK and have never really seen the cap you describe on a keyboard in the UK. But, I just did a cursory search online and it turns out it's a lot more common than I realised! There's a Brexit joke in there somewhere...

Ooh wow, I definitely should have noticed this. I made that scene for the IG teasers some months ago and didn't think about it any more. Thanks for pointing that out!

I had the small hope that the picture of the base kit wasn't up to date and it would eventually be in the kit.

Any chance that the dark grex X makes it into the base kit?

[wil]

would make much more sense to put it into alternate if it was forgotten. i think a lot of f13 folks would be upset if that got prioritized instead.

[Bl4ck]

Do you have any plans to run MoDo in KAT profile or any of the PBT cherry ones?

Yeah, same actually; it's only when you're looking to build a ISO UK format, or are stuck with an ISO board that you notice these particularities. So I don't think it's intentional of the retailer, but it would be nice to not have to buy both the Norde and Addition kits to get a full UK ISO (with six enter keys!?). Slightly off topic, but isn't it funny that in order to build a 'complete' Brexit board I need to buy the Norde kit? You must draw your own conclusions...

[Blvck.-]

Is there gonna be a X key like this render? I see in the alternate kit it's inverted colorway.

Which "4"-key are you exactly looking for? Base kit has the "4 $" key used in UK-ISO layout. Norde kit has only the "4 ¤ $" key for SE/FI/NO/DK

+1 for basekit, would be sick. I don't buy an alternate kit only because of the X (it's the only one I'm interested in).

I think he means the 4$€ keycap which WAS in the initial Norde kit but was removed from it (along with `¬¦ ).

[Fluxodin]

Sweet, and the alt set looks awesome. Also, janglad please tell me Dharma is still a thing or did I miss something  I’ll buy the Numpad kit if only to hold out hope!

[Bl4ck]

Could you include spacebars in that light grey accented color in the alternate kit?

[Pepsi KB]

This keyset looks so clean. Might join in on this GB when pre-orders are up and get this as my first GMK set! This set would go perfectly with my black tofu case.

We just submitted the (hopefully) last round of prototypes, I hope I can share more info soon!

[Hell-es]

Any pricing yet?

Is there more info about Bauer X?

[FireLock]

A grey white spacebar would be so nice to have, any reason to not include it?

It’s live on Dixie already. I got my order placed!

I'm waiting for the EU vendor, mykeyboard.eu

Probably it will go live during the day.

[Prelim]

no "Day One promo" on the base set?

[fons]

Waiting for mykeyboard.eu to start also. This is my first set of big boi GMK I am too hyped cannot wait more!

[Scriba]

for future GB please take the proxy candykeys for EU; mykeyboard is outdated and have mostly higher price because fees.

Pricewise it's mostly the same. Shipping is also faster and cheeper from mykeyboard.eu in my experience. So what you say is not entirely true.

It's not for me. Candykeys is based in Germany so it has nearly no fees in Germany. As I live in Switzerland I order it to a package station at frontier for the same fees.

[VXQN]

Mykeyboard are typically a little slow putting stuff up on their site. Normally means they're a little slow taking it down too, which has saved me before!

I think that it's time to move this topic to the Group Buy page

Switzerland is a separate case and does not belong to the EU. Your situation does not apply to most EU countries for shipping through EU vendors as mykeyboard.eu

[fons]

GB is already up at mykeyboard.eu!

They inflated the price around 20€ in the bases compared to Dixie's prices in dollars. Is that normal? It's my first GMK GB.

Shipping is also 50USD via Dixie to Europe (Netherlands) and via Mykeyboard.eu a lot cheaper, depending on your country.

Base set at Dixie is 99 USD and at Mykeyboard.eu 107.99€. If I order only the base set, total for me will be € 113 including shipping costs. At Dixie it will be 150 USD.

Do the math
