[IC] GMK 80082 | GB LIVE
« on: Tue, 24 November 2020, 14:28:40 »


GROUPBUY THREAD HERE

DECEMBER 6-31 2020
GMK80082.COM








After being asked many times every single day for a year,
GMK 8008 IS BACK WITH ANOTHER COLOR OPTION!


I am very happy to introduced the BL00 Alternate Standard kit!
Ever since I first designed this set, I wanted to do a blue version of it.
I did not feel confident enough in Round 1 to run two base kits, but Round 2 allows me to have a little more fun!
I hope y'all like it as much as we do!

KIT FEEDBACK
I spent a really long time going over many different kitting routes for this project
and landed on two possible kit "packages". Please take a look at the form to see both packages
and see which one you would rather see in the groupbuy.

IF NO ONE FILLS THIS OUT, I WILL NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS ENOUGH INTEREST TO DO ERGO ALICE IN THE BASE.

FINAL KIT IMAGES










ORIGINAL KIT OPTIONS

More

Below you can see the two kit "package options" that I have compiled.

Package A: This package is very similar to our past groupbuys (MoDoL, MoDo2, Minimal 2).

Package B: A new take on adding ergo "Alice" compat to the base kit, which in turn changes some things around in other kits.

See below for comparisons of the changes in each package.

You can also go to our website for a better formatted side-by-side comparison. Use this when filling out the feedback form above. Only one of the packages will be available at groupbuy. Not all of them lol


PACKAGE A

S T A N D A R D
Our normal Standard kit with support for TKL, 65%, 60%, 6.25u and 7u bottom rows, with nub homing added.

B L 0 0
Alternate Blue version of 8008. Same as the Standard kit.

A D D I T I O N
Additional compatibility for 65%, basic ISO, HHKB bottom row, F13, FC660, 60% w/ arrows, and options for the caps lock position.

N U M B E R S
Adds compatibility for full size, 1800, 1800CP, and other similar layouts with numpads.

A E S T H E T I C
Accent spacebars & arrows and 6u spacebars.

M O D E R N
macOS Icon modifiers with alternate tab and esc keys.

C O M M A N D
macOS text modifiers for the bottom row and R3 Caps Lock position.

O B S C U R E
Adds support for boards under 60%, ortholinear, and other obscure layouts.

N O R D E
Adds legend correct support for many European layouts and an accent ISO enter.



PACKAGE B

S T A N D A R D
Ergo “Alice” style support added. Removed R1 1u mod color grave and R2 1.5u pipe to try to keep the price the same.

B L 0 0
Ergo “Alice” style support added w/ 2u bar since Addition is all pink caps). Removed R1 1u mod color grave and R2 1.5u pipe.

A D D I T I O N
Added the 2.00c spacebar for the other option for ergo “Alice” style layouts. Moved R1 1u mod color grave and R2 1.5u pipe from base.

N U M B E R S
No change from Package A’s kit.

A E S T H E T I C
No change from Package A’s kit.

M O D E R N
No change from Package A’s kit.

C O M M A N D
No change from Package A’s kit.

O B S C U R E
Removed the second B, 2.25c bar, and 2.75c bar because they are in the base. Added a second 3.00c bar.

N O R D E
No change from Package A’s kit.



LEFT: PACKAGE A     RIGHT: PACKAGE B

I am going to attempt to have the two kits from each package side by side below for comparison,
but if Geekhack formatting fails, you can go here to see them formatted better.

I have mixed feelings about the proposed changes. While I don't use mod-colored pipe or grave, I think it's a step in the wrong direction to take those two keys out in favor of the additions. I think they are absolutely necessary to include in the base kit. As much as would like to have Alice support, I wouldn't want to achieve that support by taking out two keys that have been included in most base kits for a while now.   

Even with the proposed changes to include Alice support, I maintain that I would love to see numpad + basic iso in the base kit. In a perfect world I would have wanted to have seen a comparison of prices of the current base kit vs. a full base kit. I'm sure this is not feasible at this point but I would be really curious to see how people felt about paying a little bit more for a fleshed out kit. A full base kit would have also given people the opportunity to run the blue kit on more boards, since it seems iso and numpad are not supported in that color.

Thanks for asking the consumers what they would like to see and for considering feedback.

mod color pipe and grave are pretty universally decided to be uggo by what appears to me to be the majority of people, i rarely see them used in pictures if ever

it was a big deal to me when i was new and didn't know what i liked but even then it's a stretch, sets have been omitting them for a while and it's barely even been noticed

as long as numpad and iso being removed actually lowers the price then i don't really care about it, but i've seen some vendors remove them but price sets as if they're there

i don't know if GMK is raising their prices or something but it's definitely a little odd to me

Quick kitting error, right shift on the kits is labeled 2.25u when it should be (I'm hoping LOL) 1.75u.
Also, was the blue set inspired from a blue sports bra?  ;D

Just fixed. And no it wasn't. Seeing that the grays are blue-gray, it was just natural that a blue accent would mesh perfectly with the set.

Yes I agree they are uggo. The main point I guess I was trying to make is stripping down kits even more isn't the answer imho.

In the kit renders, maybe. Definitely doesn't look like that in the board renders. Looks more gray than the blue gray it is IRL. It would be a lot more helpful in determining that if the background and board were the same colors for both.

Could the lighting be re-done to be consistent to match the original one in that case? If you put them side-by-side they are different due to the lighting in the renders presumably.

https://i.imgur.com/IX7Kgt9.png

Pink is more vibrant, mods are lighter, and alphas look lighter.

Edit : I misinterpreted what you said, this set of renders is more accurate I'd say I sold my original 8008 set so I can't compare them myself. My issue with the original run was the pink was more of a vibrant/hot pink than the pink that was delivered. Granted it does look better in person but 8008 with the current iteration of pink is not ideal IMO in a perfect world the pink would be re-color matched but sounds like it's gonna run as is. Anyways good luck with sets blue one looks great.

Am I the only person who strongly prefers mod-color pipe and grave?  I never realized that was a minority opinion.

Also, missed opportunity to name it 80085 or 8008135.

Really prefer mod color grave (`~) when using HHKB layout or WKL layout with split backspace (cause it's more symmetric), and I also want ergo support on the base kit (yeah I wish I can have both).

As someone who does not care about nubbed homing keys, my ideal world is removing nubbed homing keys and bringing back mod color grave in package B.

Additionally, I think it would be good to see numpad and/or physical iso in base with the localised legends in NordeUK kit.

Finally I think the blue kit should be more expansive, covering numpad and physical iso, as there are no child kits for it.

When do you think this would go into GB if there's enough interest? There's another GMK set that's going into GB and I will have just enough money to get it, but I don't want to miss out on this one either. Also it would be cool to see some novelties for this set! Not that I can really think of what they would look like, but still, it could potentially be cool.

Joining the "no mod colored pipe and grave in base B is horrible" camp. Filled the form.
Also, no blue numpad.... ? Really?

I’m fine with Option B and the lack of BL00 numpad, but would like to see a BL00 Aesthetic kit.

I understand that BL00 Command and Modern kits would be a difficult sell and added complexity of SKUs.

The renders in this post are matched directly to the real-life caps.

R1 renders were estimations on how the colors would come out because the caps did not yet exist. They were not perfectly representative of the colors, nor the real-life caps in the end because it was just an estimation. We have learned a lot from this experience and how to better succeed in renders. This was 15 months ago as well. We love how the colors came out in R1, and they were what we wanted from the beginning (besides the pink not being able to reach the full vibrancy we wanted, but we were still very happy with the set as a collective design with the pink that we used).

R2 we were able to better represent the colors in the renders because we have a real-life product to match them to. The physical samples (actual keys from 8008 R1) have been matched with a colour calibrated monitor and the renders in this post are representative of what you will get. We spent many hours tweaking these renders to be the best representation of the real-life product. Do not trust photos you see of this product. The colors of 8008 have proven to be very difficult to represent in a photo. We did the best we could to create as color correct renders as we could for this round.

You have personally proven that renders are an outdated and unreliable means to advertise on and can be skewed to be incredibly bias towards the designer, how the hell else are people supposed to expect the product they pay a few hundred dollars and wait over a year for? You get a color completely wrong on the first go and backpeddle to say that you liked it and it was as intended. Then instead of fixing and going through another phase of color matching (because god forbid people want the product that was advertised to them) you tell people NOT to trust photos of the color for this set that have been circulating for 15 months.

Do not trust photos you see of this product.

I'm pretty sure the universe breaks somewhere if we are insinuating that a computer generated model of something is more realistic than than the actual thing itself.

All jokes aside, that seems like a really easy way to just go "every interpretation aside buying the product itself is wrong." If the fact that it is impossible to see a photo of the true color of these keycaps, and you must need a properly color-calibrated screen in order to see the truest color of these keycaps, then how the hell am I, somebody who does not have a calibration setup, supposed to know what I am buying? I'm not trying to be a ****, I genuinely want to know how I or anybody are supposed to be able to judge these renders for what they are then?

Please consider adding Deskhero as a Canadian vendor for this set! Currently, shipping from Dixiemech is quite expensive since there's only DHL as an option and there's hefty import and courier fees on top of that.

Additionally, I hope that the blue set will not have the same issue as the pink in 8008 R1 with the off colour matching from the renders. Otherwise, this set is great and I'm still looking forward to the gb.

Really prefer mod color grave (`~) when using HHKB layout or WKL layout with split backspace (cause it's more symmetric), and I also want ergo support on the base kit (yeah I wish I can have both).

As someone who does not care about nubbed homing keys, my ideal world is removing nubbed homing keys and bringing back mod color grave in package B.

I'm in the same boat (would prefer mod color grave + ergo support). +1 for removing the nubbed homing keys.

Round 2 + 8L00 looking solid

+1 for 8L00 modern/aesthetics kit

Really like the BL00 color, but the lack of HHKB/Tsangan bottom row support is a big no for me. +1 for a BL00 modern kit.

I have mixed feelings about the proposed changes. While I don't use mod-colored pipe or grave, I think it's a step in the wrong direction to take those two keys out in favor of the additions. I think they are absolutely necessary to include in the base kit. As much as would like to have Alice support, I wouldn't want to achieve that support by taking out two keys that have been included in most base kits for a while now.   

Even with the proposed changes to include Alice support, I maintain that I would love to see numpad + basic iso in the base kit. In a perfect world I would have wanted to have seen a comparison of prices of the current base kit vs. a full base kit. I'm sure this is not feasible at this point but I would be really curious to see how people felt about paying a little bit more for a fleshed out kit. A full base kit would have also given people the opportunity to run the blue kit on more boards, since it seems iso and numpad are not supported in that color.

Thanks for asking the consumers what they would like to see and for considering feedback.

I'm with you. Alice support is nice, but not at the expense of Mod pipe.

Also, I was in R1 and was disappointed in the way it turned out. Ended up selling immediately. No way I would buy the pink kit if there aren't color changes coming. Now I have to decide if I'm willing to chance on blue... cause I'm a sucker for blue.

I have mixed feelings about the proposed changes. While I don't use mod-colored pipe or grave, I think it's a step in the wrong direction to take those two keys out in favor of the additions. I think they are absolutely necessary to include in the base kit. As much as would like to have Alice support, I wouldn't want to achieve that support by taking out two keys that have been included in most base kits for a while now.   

Even with the proposed changes to include Alice support, I maintain that I would love to see numpad + basic iso in the base kit. In a perfect world I would have wanted to have seen a comparison of prices of the current base kit vs. a full base kit. I'm sure this is not feasible at this point but I would be really curious to see how people felt about paying a little bit more for a fleshed out kit. A full base kit would have also given people the opportunity to run the blue kit on more boards, since it seems iso and numpad are not supported in that color.

Thanks for asking the consumers what they would like to see and for considering feedback.

I'm with you. Alice support is nice, but not at the expense of Mod pipe.

Also, I was in R1 and was disappointed in the way it turned out. Ended up selling immediately. No way I would buy the pink kit if there aren't color changes coming. Now I have to decide if I'm willing to chance on blue... cause I'm a sucker for blue.

This is also my main concern. I really like the more vibrant pink. When the info says color matched R1 does that mean it changed it to look more like the render, or just matched the orginal color R1 delivered??

Additionally, I think it would be good to see numpad and/or physical iso in base with the localised legends in NordeUK kit.

Finally I think the blue kit should be more expansive, covering numpad and physical iso, as there are no child kits for it.

I agree since there is a custom blue base kit i would love to see a custom blue iso enter or atleast have the legend color blue instead of the pink.

Really prefer mod color grave (`~) when using HHKB layout or WKL layout with split backspace (cause it's more symmetric), and I also want ergo support on the base kit (yeah I wish I can have both).

As someone who does not care about nubbed homing keys, my ideal world is removing nubbed homing keys and bringing back mod color grave in package B.

I'm in the same boat (would prefer mod color grave + ergo support). +1 for removing the nubbed homing keys.


Echoing the above. For split backspace mod grave makes it a lot more symmetrical i.m.h.o.

So if no color matching is happening, can I assume the blue will be just as dull IRL as the pink was versus the render?

The renders above reflect the colors IRL.

I guess instead of telling people to calibrate their monitors vendors can simply lie now.

Hi, have you seen gmk 8008 IRL? Because most pictures don't to this set justice. A lot of people use artificial light (which is mostly 'warmer' of colour, so more yellow-ish). That is also the case in the picture you included.

I am typing on gmk 8008 right now and honestly i can say that i am very satisfied with the colour matching (except for the rama keycap but that is a different story)

Damn. Just ordered Redline as my first set. Also waiting on Superuser so not sure I can justify this one which is a real shame.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about the colour matching of the pink in this set. What was the issue exactly? That the final product didn't have the vibrancy of the concepts? Wondering how people who actually bought this in R1 felt about this. Was it a disappointment? Because as someone new to all this- the vibrancy of that rendered pink against the greys is what really got me interested in this set. And (what I'm reading) may be tweaked 'beauty shots' of the set on peoples' desks. Is this a common problem with key sets generally or is this an isolated case? Do most live up to their renders?

And (what I'm reading) may be tweaked 'beauty shots' of the set on peoples' desks. Is this a common problem with key sets generally or is this an isolated case? Do most live up to their renders?

The renders for R1 showed a very vibrant, neon pink and a light grey. When the kit was delivered, while it was indeed a hot pink shade, it was not vibrant, nor neon, and instead was a lot more muted and salmon-y. The grey of the alphas was also darker than the renders suggested it would be. Some people liked it, some were disappointed. I personally was disappointed because I'd just received GMK Vaporwave, which is neon and colour-matched so well it looks just like the renders, so I knew it could be done. GMK 8008 looks a lot more bland in real life than it does in the R1 renders. Mind you it looks fine, it's just not really what people were expecting.

I think the issue of mismatched renders was more prevalent a few years ago, but the hobby has grown considerably and designers and sellers have really had to make an effort. I own around a dozen keysets and this is the only one where I've though "oh, that is not what I expected at all". Some minor discrepancies are not uncommon, but this was vastly different. When GMK 8008 R1 came out, there was enough backlash that Dixie has since made a thorough effort to be more transparent with the colour-matching process, sharing reports and pictures of kits he's creating and distributing (look at GMK Modern Dolch Light here).

As a result, this second round of GMK8008 leaves a bit of a bad taste for those of us who were disappointed in the R1 colour-matching because it looks as though Dixie has decided this was how GMK8008 was supposed to look like and is not offering any colour fix to have an actually neon pink option and live up to the original renders.

I would grab this set if effort was made to go back and try and achieve the actual colors from r1 instead of just accepting that and adding blue for a cash grab.

I'm disappointed that R1 colors didn't match renders as that's what I was looking for. However, the set as a whole was still nice. Not nice enough for me to buy a blue version without seeing revisions.

Not sure why there isn't effort being put here to try and color match to what the intended colors was as I'd (and I'm sure many other people) be interested in that more than whatever this is.

Right now seems like no but a few of us are interested here and I think numpad or other kits could hit MOQ 100. What’s tough is that the turnaround time for new quotes is very long relative to the number of days left till GB start...

I know that pink can be a hard colour to photograph (lord knows I've had trouble trying to take accurate photos of half of MiTo's sets) but I went to look up photos of GMK 8008 R1 and.... yeah. That's not like the renders at all. And if people are saying it's not like the renders, and that the photos are accurate, then...

Still so disappointed in the pink from R1. It was not true to the renders at all and I found it very dull even under multiple light conditions. Sad to see it not changed to be more vibrant. The blue looks nice with the alphas which I did like from R1. Sadly the main draw here was the pink and because of that for me this can only be Tombstone frozen pizza.

this 100%, it's a complete joke that the R1 color matching was botched so badly and now Dixie is pretending it's the color they wanted all along instead of doing anything to fix it

Made an account just to post this here.

I was super unhappy with my R1 8008 order. Not only did it take 5 months over the original delivery time, it looked nothing like the renders. I waited a full year for a keyset that was nothing like it was intended. Greys were totally different, pinks were muted and not vibrant or neon. The RAMA caps did not match whatsoever, and also didn't even function (would just stick when pressed) because they were such thin rubber. Even the revised copy was unusable. Money thrown in the trash on those.

Now I see this, a super obvious cash grab while ignoring the customers from R1 who weren't satisfied. Guess it's pretty obvious where Dixie's interests lie nowadays.

I like the blue, but I can't even order just the blue accents? I'd have to rebuy an entire 2nd standard set and have duplicates? I'd say that makes no sense, but again I guess it's crystal clear they only care about making more money off of us and satisfaction doesn't really matter.

Sorry Dixie, but you just lost my business on this and any future products of yours. Hopefully other vendors don't turn out to be like this guy.

GB BEGINS THIS SUNDAY DECEMBER 6-31st

KITS FINALIZED

PACKAGE C ENTERS THE GAME

So we provided the community with two Kit Packages to vote on and give feedback. In the end, we decided to just give EVERYONE what they wanted plus a little more.

We have added BL00 Numbers, Aesthetic, and Modern kits.

We have also added the Alternate kit for everyone who wanted to achieve the split modifiers setup without buying two base kits!

OP has been updated with all the final kits.


PRICING: Only US has been set so far. Other regions will be announced on launch day.

Standard: USD $99.99
BL00 Standard: USD $99.99
Alternate: USD $64.99
Addition: USD $29.99
Numbers: USD $34.99
BL00 Numbers: USD $34.99
Aesthetic: USD $29.99
BL00 Aesthetic: USD $29.99
Modern: USD $39.99
BL00 Modern: USD $39.99
Command: USD $24.99
Obscure: USD $39.99
International: USD $69.99


Kit Changelog

+ Standard: Added 2u Spacebar, removed nub homing (moved to Addition), added mod colored R1 1u grave and R1 1.5u pipe, changed the two right Alts to Alt Gr (when editing from Standard B).

+ BL00 Standard: Added mod colored R1 1u grave and R1 1.5u pipe, changed the two right Alts to Alt Gr (when editing from BL00 B).

no you didn't
why would anybody want a left pink side to go with their r1 they're just gonna be stuck with 20 duplicate keys
people were asking for blue only mods to go with their r1
on top of that you're still running the subpar color despite numerous complaints
people want to see a better product, you can do better

There is no way to make everyone happy with kitting.

I think going with the R1 pink is a good decision. New renders match those colors, and people like the R1 set. If anyone wants to know what it'll look like, a physical product already exists.

Personally, I'm a fan of the new kits.

Base + Numpad for $135 puts the combined price in line with larger $135 base kits, and has just a little less compatibility (but also alice support). Yet those who don't want a numpad only pay $100. Sure, I'd love R3 and R4 PgUp and PgDn but kitting is an exercise in compromises and I think this strikes a great balance.

In the end, we decided to just give EVERYONE what they wanted plus a little more.



no you didn't
why would anybody want a lift pink side to go with their r1 they're just gonna be stuck with 20 duplicate keys
people were asking for blue only mods to go with their r1
on top of that you're still running the subpar color despite numerous complaints
people want to see a better product, you can do better

KEKW perfect kitting for me. By the time R2 get to me, my R1 alpha would already be shiny knowing GMK is really backed up. So a new set of alpha would gladly be appreciated; even to keep as future back up.
Subpar color to some, perfect color to me. Why do you think you are speaking for everyone?

Especially that it has been color matched already, process should be much faster than having to color match again for BL00 and OG 8008.

[..]

I think going with the R1 pink is a good decision. [...]

There really is no way to run it again with a corrected pink without ruining your plausible deniability about R1.
Why would you correct something if it supposedly is already close to the renders and the color is just "difficult to capture"?
NGL, re-running 8008 after the drama it caused the first time around is astounding to me, changing the entire kit to the blue theme and trying to avoid resurrecting
the accent-kerfuffle would still have been a smarter move from a corportate/brand perspective.

On a side note: Two GBs I joined utilize a spectrophotometer for colormatching (Bingsu&Perestroika). Why this isn't standard praxis for keysets, at least the ones designed and run by the biggest figureheads and vendors in the community, is beyond me. It is about time this catches on because reading these ever reoccuring straw-grasping arguments about "being difficult to capture" or "subpar lighting conditions" or philosophical discussions about what renders really are in GB threads of sets with botched colormatching is honestly tiring. At this point, there is way too much money involved in keycaps for that sort of stuff.

GB BEGINS THIS SUNDAY DECEMBER 6-31st

KITS FINALIZED

Looks like I'm a bit late to the party. Well, better late than never...



The proposed course of action here would be to (after fixing row numbers):
  • Move R4 #~ to R3.
  • Change R1 to `¬¦.
  • Change R1 5%€ to 4$€.
  • In Addition, change R4 \| to <>.
More info on the last point can be found here. Basically, make it the same as in GMK Redline.

This set of changes doesn't involve adding or removing any keys, nor changing their sizes, so it should be good to go despite the kits being finalized. In other words, it doesn't require a requote from GMK, it just needs to be communicated to them further down the line. Which shouldn't be a problem for Dixie by any means. :)

Oh, this is totally my mistake on copying and pasting the row labels from another kit and not adjusting them. Thank you for bringing this up!

oh it's so sad that the Pink "X" is now turned to a Rama novelty when the first run had included it in the kiting for accent, i guess it's a pass for me :(

It really sums up the vibe of the kit and the pink x was removed from the base kit. Was there a reason for this ?

I did request a simple x for a rama & blue support - thank you

Please do not remove 5%€ it is used in Swedish layout. Both 4$ and 5% are in base, so why would you change one for another?

The Swedish layout also uses the E€ key, which is the euro sign's standard placement in that and all other layouts that can use 5%€ (SE/FI, NO, DK, IS, FO). 5%€ is a non-standard key that isn't used in all implementations of the Swedish and other layouts, whereas E€, being standard, is present in all of them.

Now, I would ordinarily not suggest the removal of this key because some users, like yourself, may prefer to have it. However, this is an extraordinary situation since the kits have been finalized and adding extra keys is likely not viable at this point. UK users (which make up a significant portion of the total ISO userbase) are currently disadvantaged compared to all other groups supported by the NorDeUK kit — they are missing keys and sublegends which are required for full support of their layout, whereas all of the other supported layouts have all of their keys and sublegends. In this case, I think it's a reasonable compromise to swap 5%€ (which, again, is a non-standard and partially redundant key) out for 4$€ in order to give UK users full support for their layout.

I hope you understand.

Let's clear up the confusion. On the placement of the euro symbol.

When the euro symbol was introduced, the EU recommended that it should be placed under AltGr-E (so the E keycap became E€).

ALMOST ALL national layouts in western Europe were updated at the time with this recommendation. The most notable exception was, of course, the English (UK) layout, which placed the symbol under AltGr-4 (so the 4$ key became 4$€).

Microsoft at the time was adding stuff to their (primitive) version of the "US International" layout, and AltGr-E was already taken, so they placed the euro symbol under AltGr-5 instead (so the 5% key became 5%€).

Later on, Microsoft revised their implementations of the national layouts for Western European languages, and added a second placement for the euro symbol, so it could be typed either as AltGr-E or as AltGr-5. But, this must be stressed, the second assignment is not the actual standard.





Check out the differing national layouts at http://www.farah.cl/Keyboardery/A-Visual-Comparison-of-Different-National-Layouts/. You won't believe where the Maltese national layout places the euro symbol!!!

So if no color matching is happening, can I assume the blue will be just as dull IRL as the pink was versus the render?

The renders above reflect the colors IRL.

sry but that's not true. look my post at the GB Thread.

F and J without the bumps
Split layouts sometimes have 2 B keys on them.

If your keyboard is split do you need the bumps?

 I’m sure there are people don’t like the additional texture on their keys.

Can't wait to see the BL00 set IRL. Super excited to own this set. I'm going to tune the rgb in my room+pc to match perfectly.
