Dumb question, what's the deal with the side printed symbols like the = sign on the 0 key, or the Ç symbol on the backslash key?  is that comparability with some other setup or specific to a particular type of keyboard?

In the OP:

Featuring a large range of compatibility with most existing ANSI or ISO MX based keyboards, US and Spanish dual layout in Cyan and Magenta on Black keys.

From IC thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=70463.msg1702217#msg1702217

Yes, of course Spanish fits the Miami theme as it is probably almost as widely spoken there as English. Spanish is also one of the largest spoken languages on the planet. It's also part of my larger plan of working through major languages. It's been very clear that there isn't enough support for dedicated doubleshot keys for various other language layouts on a cost to demand basis. Adding side pad printing however does not dramatically raise the price, while still offering legends besides US ANSI which I hope will further gain additional interest from those who use the respective layout daily. Eventually I would like to offer sets that have side printed German, Italian, French, Russian, and so on.

Ok cool, thanks.  I appreciate the explanation.  How do I use the Ç on a standard keyboard besides having to look up an ASCII table and type Alt+128?  Do I need to install a Spanish input language or is that just a regional OS thing?

Depends on Operating System of course. On Windows you can add a keyboard language via Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages > Change Keyboards > Add...

You can conveniently switch between multiple languages using the language switcher near the notification area in the task bar or pressing Alt+Shift.

Yesssss!!!!!

... or pressing Alt+Shift.

One of many Microsoft ideas that make Windows so scary.

"Honey, my computer's being hacked! My keyboard switches to Spanish again and again by itself..."

But it makes you a man then and are able to help whatever happens

[stillgray]

Hell yes. Send me the invoice!

[asdfjkl36]

I placed an order. I'm not sure what i'm going to with so many space bars.

[sbot1101]

Awwww yisss thanks Ivan. I was almost certain we were gonna fall just short.
 

[LXXXIX]

Now that we have met the MOQ Ivan, when do you plan to send out invoices?

[ninjadoc]

Now that we have met the MOQ Ivan, when do you plan to send out invoices?

Orders close on the 31st. The invoicing usually begins after the group buy ends. I said usually though, sometimes the invoice is earlier; at times soon after the order is placed.

[IvanIvanovich]

I will begin preparing invoices in the next few days, and start sending them out in batches.

[olijuice]

I just placed an order.  What's everyone think, what would they look like on a Corsair K65?

[wlhlm]

I just placed an order.  What's everyone think, what would they look like on a Corsair K65?

Not too good, since this set doesn't include a 6.5u spacebar. AFAIK, GMK doesn't even produce them.

[Flyersfan1]

I just placed an order.  What's everyone think, what would they look like on a Corsair K65?

It will looks nice I'm sure, but please keep in mind that the spacebars provided in this buy will be incompatible with a K65, it uses a 6.5u spacebar.  The ones that come included here are 7x and 6.25x.

I agree about the spacebar, I find that annoying.  I plan on keeping the default until I work up the courage to modify one of the spacebars to make it fit.  I saw some tutorials out there on how to Frankenstein the stems from a donor cap.

[DanielT]

Yes the order end day will remain the same, 30 July.

This is cool because I think I will change my order to include also the full set, but have to do some math with my funds.

[mylove1431]

Still waiting your invoice with the resubmit form adding 2 more pack .......   

[Jokrik]

Invoices are already going out?

[heedpantsnow]

Invoices are already going out?

Hmm, I don't have one yet; don't think they are going out since there's always a bunch of "paid!" posts when they do.

[KHAANNN]

I joined for the CMYKv2 and one of each of the 6.25 spacebars

Already regretting not getting the main set, so I will probably upgrade before the deadline :)

Ones mind is changing... Go on Mr Khaann, go on...place that order.

Awwww yeaaaaa

[LXXXIX]

Any word on the invoices?

[KHAANNN]

Wow, those F/J's are bumped, good to see some bumped GMK F/J's, one euro character less, and the alphas would have been just perfect for me :)

(The entire set would have been perfect actually, since I learned that the side-prints are removable with iso-propyl alcohol)

(Don't take this as a complaint by the way)

It would be great to see bumped F/J's in your future GB's too

[stillgray]

Waiting eagerly for those invoices!

[swimmingbird]

Waiting eagerly for those invoices!

I'm starting to question whether or not I ordered it now
it was over 2 months ago that I actually filled in the google form - before the great GH outage of 2015

tempted to redo it just in case but don't want to screw up the numbers

Same here, I had forgotten what my order was, I should have written it down.

[KHAANNN]

I upgraded my order to a complete one, if anyone wants to order or do the same, we are at the deadline

I really wish an extra "E" keycap without the Euro_icon is added to the set (I know it's a hassle and it costs a lot, but the side prints can be removed if the buyer likes to keep it simple, but that double shot euro is forever, it's not that I don't like euros, but I like to keep it simple)

Actually, after looking at the set, I totally 100% agree with this. Especially if I want to mix and match with keys from other sets (Hyperfuse, CMYKv2, Dolch) that Euro is just hanging there like a booger in the middle of the my board.

Ivan, could we please please pretty please have an alternate E or could you pad print the Euro sign like the other caps, for the sake of congruence?

I hadn't noticed that when I originally looked at the set.  I also would like the Euro symbol removed from the E.  Otherwise that will be a huge eye sore on my board.

Agreed, ditch the euro symbol!

[IvanIvanovich]

Last day for ordering!

Invoices will start going out soon.

[KHAANNN]

I would gladly pay $20 more for the sake of an additional "E" with just the "E" - I guess if 10 people would do the same, we would cover the additional cost of adding a simple "E" to all sets, that's how much I want the simple "E"

I guess if the "E" is simplified or an additional one added, I will regret not ordering an additional set of all :)

Without the simple "E" - I ordered the main set just for the "Tab", "Backspace" and the "Enter"

I would also pay extra for a simple E.  I really like this set but am debating whether I want it without having a simple "e".
