[IC] GSKT-00

[aslanxdeft]

How does the red match gmk burgundy? Planning on joining both.

[datfroyodoe]

I realized I hadn't shared any examples of Cerakote finish or talked about it much so here is a bit of an update on that front.

Cerakote feels much more matte and "textured" than anodization, for those unfamiliar with it.  The feeling and finish will actually change based on the color and the lighter you go typically the smoother and more watery it can feel.  White tends to be almost glossy and black is oppressively matte, that's the best explanation I can give there.

I am not necessarily recommending you cerakote, but just wanted to give some options to you all.  While the cerakote that my guy does is very very good, I still personally prefer the feel and shine of ano.  Some people like the color range that cerakote offers and the extra protection.  It is all preference.

Here is an album of a 00 that had the bottom coated in a custom made color (not offering custom colors as part of the group buy) and the top coated in Sniper Gray.  There is a side by side with an anodized board and there is also an example with a beige dye sub pbt keycap so you can get some more context.  You'll be able to see just how different two colors/finishes can be: https://imgur.com/a/L2Psuxs

Will attach an image below for the sake of being able to reference this quickly.

My cerakoter said to check out some of the newer colors that just came out like Mojito, Polar Blue and Tequila Sunrise, he thought those were nice irl

No ABS plates like the OG runs?

[eniigma]

is there an estimated lead time?

[weaston]

No ABS plates unfortunately, they are difficult to work with and I can't get them reliably thinner than 1.5mm for Alps so it is too much of a hassle.

is there an estimated lead time?

Can't really give one now, but I know that board manu time would be at least a month if not closer to 2, packing and shipping would be another 3 weeks at least.  That is all assuming the buy reaches the max unit cap.  If I open orders on the 20th then I would need to give at least 2 weeks to pay invoices so it would be probably mid february when the manu order got officially submitted.  I try to keep things as quick as I possibly can and the original GB went quick so let's cross our fingers and hope things stay smooth.

Already left the hobby for a while now. Casually dropped in today to see what has been going on lately and saw this. I remember back in the day 00 was one of the board that I and many of my friends really wanted. Didn't think a GB this scale would happen. Pretty sick man. Good luck! Will try to make time to join this one for sure!

Definitely interested in this board!!

[Velvet_Crowe]

Yay

[Zephyraeon]

Seeing the bottom row in possible layouts - does this mean GSKT-00 supports AEK caps in full/HHKB case tops? How are stabilisers handled in that case?

[weaston]

Yay

Yeah it's possible, it just doesn't look great on the top row cause the case doesn't have the aek curve to it.

Not sure what you mean about the stabs, there would be alps stab cutouts in the plate as usual.

[Kokaloo]

can you introduce some problems that may dissuade other people from wanting this so i can get one for sure

Will everyone joining the group buy have to sign a non disclosure agreement to keep the internal design a secret?

No you're right. Always felt time flew by so fast with the amount of keyboards released every month. Just me.

This is awesome, I am definitely in for one!

[Solotov]

As you mentioned you have gathered a lot of feedbacks from the users, may I ask what have been changed to the current design as opposed to the OG GSKT-00?

[dyrdevil]

This looks great.  Going to be hard to pass up trying for at that price point with the feedback this board has had.  Ive been looking to add a 60% WKL to my collection, hoping it might be this one! Great work and happy to see it coming to a public GB.

[cyberFluff]

Will there be an exact time of the day the GB opens in case the units sell out in minutes or even seconds?

[superdoedoe]

The GB thread would need to be approved and made public before a set date & time could be given i'd assume.

[weaston]

Honestly the only things that have been changed are the half plate design and the bumpon cuts on the bottom.

Will there be an exact time of the day the GB opens in case the units sell out in minutes or even seconds?

I will try to pick a time that works well enough for the US and the EU, but I will update with that as we get closer.  As I said before, I could potentially open it again for a few more units at another time if there is a large portion of people in some other time zone that got really snubbed.  Would like it to be as fair as it can be.

What is ligma?

I would like to start the GB as soon as possible. Shooting for January 20th as the opening date.  I don't know the GH process and if I need to get approval for a GB thread or what, so trying to give some buffer time.

Just make a thread and PM one of the mods (I'll be avail EU time) and we'll get to it. If it takes a while send another PM or go for one of the tall boys (hoff and tootall) 

[victorpre]

Yes, thanks for taking into consideration people from other timezones. I'm interested

I hope I'm not at work when this drops. Appreciate your openness to being fair. Really want one in HHKB!

Would the gasket that's being sold in this run be of the same duro as that of the private groupbuys?  Sound tests with softer gaskets are really nice, especially the ones using 30 duro. I could imagine the bottoming out being really soft.

[Zeelobby]

I was thinking maybe HHKB, but I'm heading to Japan this year at some point. So maybe I'll pick up a WKL and round out my 60 boards (standard, wkl and hhkb).

Yes the same as the original buy.  I don't personally think the softer duro ones give enough compression and it can make the sound a little more flat and less rubbery.

Just make a thread and PM one of the mods (I'll be avail EU time) and we'll get to it. If it takes a while send another PM or go for one of the tall boys (hoff and tootall) 

Thank you I'll do that.

Most likely a google form, but it's still up in the air at the moment.

I would like a store front since I have no experience entering with google forms, so I'm just gonna get crushed by all the veterans.
