Good luck with the groupbuy Biip!
Can't wait to put this on a weird-layout board and really freak out my coworkers. :D Great work biip!
I said it before, but I still wish the ISO Enter had a vertical bar or something instead of a dot...
Still, really looking forward to this!
... and I wish the single color kits had been a thing.
Yeah, I know, that's why I said "still"! I trust you. I've already ordered my kit so no worries.I said it before, but I still wish the ISO Enter had a vertical bar or something instead of a dot...
I already answered the question, when I made tests it just looked weird because of the shape ok the keycap.
The vertical 2Us workswellbetter on a numpad because it's not staggered tho.
Moreover, on a layout without numpad, having just one keycap with a vertical legend like that looked really off…

I didn't want to offer the monochrome kit due to MOQ issues.
But tbh, I wasn't expecting such a hype the first days and thought that people would not buy base kit + monochrome kit + nomad kit or a rama keycap.
That's why I decided to remove this kit.

Not the monochrome kit, the single color kitS (but ain't my GB).

Yes it’s not your GB, and considering how much people love this set the way it is, I think we can all agree that Biip made the right decisions.
He has a lot of experiences in doing GB, you don’t.
If you’re not happy with his choices it’s alright, even if the huge majority approve them.
But respect his decisions at least, we got your POV no need to develop it again.
Don't chastise me for "misrespecting" biip's choices, given that I'm not doing that (also note that "we all agree" and "the huge majority approves" don't mean the same thing).
FTR, I was pointing out that I was talking about a different thing that what Blip responded to (look up "single color kits" and "monochrome kit" in the IC thread - those are NOT the same thing).
Please don't turn this thread into a ****show.
I explained why I kept the dot for the ISO Enter keycap and why I removed the monochrome kit.
Thanks :thumb:
I've just joined the GB for a base kit but would like to know if the purple and orange R4 1.5 keycaps that appear in the renders will be made available as a separate add-on kit (these aren't in any of the kits).This is a good question, as some layouts need 3 1.5u keys. Can you please provide an answer?

Only drop normally has price breaks - with other gbs usually extra caps are added (e.g. With bento or metropolis)
150 MOQ for Ergo feels out of reach - anyone feel like not worry and we will make it no problem?

We are at 148 with extras. So nothing to worry about. :)
150 MOQ is a total for all kits combined - not each kit has to hit 150 individually for that particular kit to be made?

this.
Since we have very small margins with the vendors (in order to have a nice retail price) we won't be able to do that on 500MOQ tho.
Maybe I am being dense but don't understand what "We are at 148 with extras. So nothing to worry about" means then - latest count I saw was 70 for the Ergo with 80 more kits needed to make it to MOQ - seems like a long way to go (or do Ergo kits sell better on GH than MD where they always seem to lag behind).

Since the GB is going so well, do you think it'd be possible to add a 6u spacebar (and maybe another extra key or two) to the base kit once 500 is hit?
Sadly no due to our very small margin (in order to offer the best possible price) :thumb:

Is the base color custom? You may be able to buy a matching one separately if not.

Thanks, will keep my fingers crossed - as no new molds would be required for that (compared to e.g. the cool extras in bento that came in the mail last friday) maybe its possible.
Another thing ;) as I saw the milkshake dots - and this GB was so successful - any plans on White KAM or ePBT Dots?
So, we were able to add 2 keycaps.
So I added a blue 1u R1 dot and a purple 1u R3 dot in the base kit :thumb:
Damn, just logged in after a big absence and saw this GB. Is there any possible way for me to still get an Ergo kit?

Possibly, you'd have to wait for extra sets to become available on NovelKeys after the GB ships.
So, everything goes smoothly? Planned shipment was in Nov 2019, correct?
Man, am I excited for it.
Is there still a chance to join this GB now?GB ended on 9/30 but Novelkeys will likely have extras once this delivers in Dec-Jan.
Can we get an update? Saw Mike's comment about Dec/Jan delivery date and the NK newsletter update says
- Still color sampling right now
- Estimated ship date from GMK is early January
Can we get a look at the samples or something?
dots deskmats you say???
So, update? You said over the weekend. Was hoping to see what you were going to show us.

Just as a heads up, as I’m not sure if you are waiting for these to go live, but the deskpad GB has already run and is now closed.
Sorry to bother you again, but is there a chance for extra ergo set been available?

Maybe I missed something, or perhaps it was clear to some (but not me), but will these caps be doubleshot with those colored dots? I kind of assumed it would be dyesub since it was non-standard legends, but perhaps doubleshot colored dots is something they can do?

Hi!
If your preferences are now more for the Base kit, it is still available here:
https://dailyclack.com/collections/keycaps/products/gmk-dots
I need a Ergo kit, maybe we can change?
If not, maybe someone's preferences have also changed?) or someone can tell where I can buy an Ergo kit
If someone changed their mind, I would change my Base Kit for Ergo.
Or I would buy the missing caps:
1.5U:R1,R2,R3
2xColor (6 total)
1U:R2,R4
1xColor (2 total)
Is there an estimate for when extras will go up? I ordered ergo but my preferences have changed a bit and I want to add a base kit as well so don't want to miss out!
Any update on when this will start shipping? Also, if anyone wants to get rid of a base kit in the US. PM, I'll buy.
After GMK had some problems lately I hope all the Dots have the right shape :p

We found an issue with the nomad kit, and are currently working with GMK on figuring out a solution.
Something maybe to the effect that shipments will be delayed until a solution is figured out.
Hope you understand.

Will there be markup on the extra sets from initial group buy pricing? Asking as someone who has a few sets coming from the initial groupbuy while considering picking up more
Our Dots shipment has arrived. Replacement keycaps from GMK will be sent out tomorrow morning. We expect to receive the replacement keycaps by March 18. Once received we will begin shipping out orders for NovelKeys.
