[IC] GMK Wob/Dolch R0
« on: Wed, 29 January 2025, 15:40:09 »


IC Form | Discord

Hello Geekhack.

I am tired of trying to source a WoB GMK R0 kit on the aftermarket, where sellers seem to think they're sitting on a pot of gold. So I thought to myself; Why not just pull the rug from under the market and rerun WoB R0? Maybe even throw in a round of Dolch R0 for the heck of it.

I am aware of the lack of the R0 beige in my interest check. mcmcmc ran R0/R5 kits with GMK CYL Beige Addon & Extension, which is still in stock at some vendors.
I have added an optional field in the IC to gauge demand and overall get some input from the people.

Right now this IC serves to get a feeling for the viability of the project in the current state of the hobby, and gauge interest in (re)running the profile in these classic colourways.

Current Kitting:
Front- and shinethrough legends will be pad printed.

WoB:

I have a **** ton of WoB, and I found out I like R0, so definitely on for a couple sets! Also, please don't tell me I have spy cats 😞

I still wish cats were spies. What if they are? Squints at my orange feller.

If it happens, I'll probably join for one of the Dolch ones.

Dare I say rerun Dolch with R0 and R5 lol. If there is actual demand for R0 and GMK is selling in stock WOB, I'm sure they would add a kit themselves.

GMK CYL Beige Addon & Extension, which is still in stock at some vendors.
it is sold out everywhere, hence my IC response - please consider beige in this run.

You might as well re-run R5 WoB while you're at it.

A set with half the keycaps removed. And only having 1u keycaps, should be considerably cheaper than a full R0R5 set though. The price should be appealing enough for such a kit. Like it was with GMK BAE which had really strong sales numbers for 2024.

I think that GMK R0 Beige would make sense.

Mold cost could be an issue, but could we have an R0 cherry nov?

100% would buy this but not sure on the popularity. Maybe running it with an R5 selection to cover more bases would be a good idea? Including beige may be a good idea too.

I love that there have been made several WoB child kits throughout the years to satisfy different needs
I would be even more interested in these kits if R5 is included
