GMK DOLCH [COMPLETE]

[KatzenKinder]

UPDATE: Finally finished assembling the rest of the sets yesterday. I am going to go back though and QA them to make sure there are not mistakes before I send them all out. Sorry for the long wait but I would rather make sure it's all done right.

Ivan for MVP!

[pichu23]

Everything's correct but there are a few damaged keys. Will pm you in a bit

[pix3l_fodder]

Ivan I assume when you say all is complete is that including the orders with stabs? or are we waiting on GMK still?

[IvanIvanovich]

There are still quite a lot of orders that I have not filled yet. As I posted above I still need to QA all the sets that are left to be filled which is around 130 sets so... I will work towards getting this all finished and hope to have done so by months end at the latest. I appreciate your continued patience.

[pix3l_fodder]

Cheers for the quick reply. No problem with the waiting its something you learn to live with when precipitating in group buys. I just saw some people getting UK orders I dont want to wait a month after everything is said and done to realize something went wrong! (not that it will, i trust you ofc.)

[pichu23]

Sorry bout the crappy quality. I realllyyy need to learn how to take proper pics.

Nope, these are rounded 3mm round headed leds but I do have 2x3x4 white leds, just too lazy to fit them in  ;D
and these are doing fine actually so I'll might keep the 2x3x4 for my next build.

[Kapla!]

Received my set yesterday. This was my first group buy, which has been a smooth and trouble free experience.  So many thanks to Ivan (and others) for all the work involved in making this happen.

Very happy with the GMK caps, they look phenomenal and are a pleasure to type on!   

[Hzza]

Mine also arived yesterday, horrible potato/garish colour pack shot - this isn't how the board stayed btw, I couldn't concerntrate if it was!

[Vitaly]

After week of usage I absolutely love GMK and Dolch set (after installing this set I started to type faster (and more), amazing  ). I think to buy Beige set for another keyboard, but hope it will be without side symbols like @ and £ or any other.

[IvanIvanovich]

Keep an eye out for new buy in the coming week ;p

That soon 

[ebacho]

Have missing keys replacements gone out Ivan?  Want to make sure I didn't lose something in the mail or not.

[LechnerDE]

Man, you are a GB beast!

I thought you needed a break after all the stuff you have done in the last couple of months (PBT novelties, GMK, stabs) and now you are launching 2 new GBs again?!

I love it 

[bazh]

Mine





And then there're some problem with my packages

A 1.5x Alt Gr is missing here


This one looks better, until I notice another "| \" key is not here too

[IvanIvanovich]

Send me PM about missing Alt Gr so I don't forget about it. I don't see anything wrong about \| key, you have all 3 of them.

I have not sent any missing replacement cap. Will be doing so in the coming week once I am mailing out order again.

[bazh]

So a standard set only have 3 \| keys? If that then I'm cool with it now Still it's interesting that I actually have 4 keys in the other set, 2 1.5x with slightly different legend, that's what made me thought I'm missed the key





//anyway, send you PM about the Alt Gr soon

[IvanIvanovich]

I didn't notice there was different 1.5 |\ legends. In that case you have 1 too many. If someone ends up missing that key I may ask you to send the extra one to them.

[bazh]

Ok then, no problem

[gameaholic]

I actually prefer Alt to Alt Gr so if you can send me a second regular 1.25 Alt then you can keep my 1.25 Alt Gr as a replacement for other's missing or damaged keys. 

[kaiserreich]

May I know how long till extra keys become for sale?

I am still looking for a 'B' key

[quochung1989]

Hope "Alt Gr" key (both 1.25x  & 1.5x) 'll sold in future

[Karura]

Wait I am very confused:

for |\ keys, there are both ones with the split |, and the | without split.

I've actually never seen a keycap with a non-split | before, what do you guys prefer? (Really trivial, but still would like to hear some discussion), just really random to see how GMK ended up making both.

[bazh]

I prefer the non split since I'd never seen the split  character in use, but I have both of them now so I will send 1 of the split one in case anyone missing it

[taylordcraig]

I thought not split was fairly common on custom sets.

[luckyryan333]

FYI


From the left, the original Dolch(G80-1813HFU), GMK Dolch from Originative, and GMK Dolch from Ivan.

G80-1813HFU


As you see, the |\ key is the split version in the original Dolch.
I guess GMK Dolch from Ivan is almost identical to the original.

You mean the "split" |\ key is the original? You posted a pic of a split one haha.

Thanks, man.

[Dr Xav]

all received!! awesome. Thx Ivan!

[radio_killah]

Holy crap. I am excited. I finally found a set I could buy thanks to Jufa and it's arriving in the mail today! 

Edit. There was a mixup by the post the dolch set is in China...

[IvanIvanovich]

ALL orders that are not waiting on correct stab parts have SHIPPED.

[lightsout714]

Just noticed that the color pack enter has text but the standard doesn't. That's weird. Kind of stands out to me.

[cjhard]

I think standing out was the purpose of the color pack.

[lightsout714]

I think standing out was the purpose of the color pack.

Well I understand that but I would think the legend would match. Oh well not a huge deal.

[asgeirtj]

I put the set on my keyboard today, I think everything is accounted for.  Also got a colored ctrl button and a joker button.  Tiny damages on a few keys, but nothing I can't live with, I'm not very nitpicky about those things.  Here it is. It is just beautiful.  Only thing I dislike is the numberpad keys.  I might buy a standalone numberpad kit from originative actually to replace it.

One question that has probably been asked before, why the weird profile on the arrow keys in the color pack?

Also, one suggestion, maybe it is good to use a bag like this to prevent damage? Just an idea for future GB's.

Anyway thanks again for your hard work sir.  I saw that you were going to do your next GB with FnA pack, that's something I will definitely be in for, will order and pay right away

The arrows in the color pack are for the wasd cluster, not the arrows, which is why it has a different profile.

I agree that it was a questionable decision by Ivan (who after a bad experience seems to have come to the conclusion that he makes better decisions on his own with no interest checks or early feedback from the forums at all), but to be fair, it was in the mockups and has been discussed during the order phase in this thread, so it's kind of late to bring that up.
