WEEB 2 LOUD.

Just for clarification, for a particular color way (let's say cyan/blue), we would need a total of 35 cyan/purple regardless of language; or is 35 cyan/purple Japanese and 35 cyan/purple Hangul required to unlock the order?

Thanks Sherry! :)

Hey, this is a great question. I didn't ask the dye-subber about this, but I will find out tonight (morning in Taiwan). I would say it's 35 Cyan/Purple Japanese and 35 Cyan/Purple Hangul for now to be safe.

Is the blue in the blue/red hangul darker than the one in Hiragana? I noticed that the blue/red Hiragana option isn't available.


Also, is would the alphas of the cyan/purple Hiragana match the cyan/purple/light grey of Hyperfuse?

The pbt itself will be the same, MOD just does the dye subbing.

It's the same compared to imsto's or enjoypbt's, but we are just using a new dye-subber.

Depending on how this one goes, US-Intl is one the ones we want to do in a second round, as we've only ever seen it done in Irish color scheme (Two tones of green)

Thank you for the kind answer, I also asked IMSTO on his buy about this, but he did no answer at all, I have seen a few sets with black main legends along with blue US-Intl. ones and they look very good.

Beige is the mono-beige color. The light grey is the color of the modifiers for the Classic Beige. Dark Grey = Dark Grey. I'll try to get a picture of Black soon.

Sorry, this is probably a really stupid question... On the product's page it says:

How to select Dual Tone. At Checkout, please leave a message like the following:

Using the colors from the Blank options

1. Modifiers - Dark Grey
2. Alphas - Light Grey


Do I have to specify this if I want the exact same dual tone color setup as the product images? So if I do not specify anything in a message I will receive both alphas and modifiers in the same color?

Any confirmation on the Korean font? The mockups look like gungsuh, but the MOD Keyboards set on Originative (https://www.originativeco.com/products/hangul?variant=16850508549) uses a different font (which has a compressed ㅊ, ㅎ, and off set ㄹ compared to EnjoyPBT's set). Also any samples of the Cyan dye? I have the EnjoyPBT Cyan and Pink, and the Cyan ended up closer to blue

I really recommend you guys to purchase the other sets, because I might have to refund these.

Current Order Count:

Blank: 2
Classic: 8
Arabic: 3
Hangul: 7
Japanese: 14
Russian: 4

Can we get an update on this (/on the colours)?

Sets that might not make it:

Classic (Deep Red), Classic (Forest Green), Arabic (Black and Green), Hangul (Black and Blue), Hangul (Cyan and Pink), and Russian (Black and Red).

I really recommend you guys to purchase the other sets, because I might have to refund these.

Update: On Friday, I'll be refunding the orders that have very little amount ordered. I'll remove those items from the listing and people can make an order for the other items.

Realistically, there are only 2 colors so it would be 50 each or 100 total.

If it reaches 20-25 each, then I will help buy up the rest of the MOQ. This is what we hope to do for most group buys (help reach MOQ).

Even though I suggested it in the IC, im surprised that it's the popular choice. I threw in for 2 sets of it, and I'll give one to a friend. Just want to help extra to make it happen.

I think uniqueness has something to do with it. There's been a somewhat regular schedule of dyesub sets run here, even if by different manufacturers/subliminators. The common ones, like the cyan/pink hangul, the red/black Cyrillic are probably already owned by many. My guess is they will probably hit moq the next time around.

Didn't you suggest Purple/Cyan hangul?  I'm pretty sure I was the first one suggesting that colorway for the Hiragana set. I did so mainly because it was lacking any brighter colorways and also because I needed a set with Purple  :). The renders look a lot better than I would have thought, I hope the real thing will also be that good.

Say what! Nooo... I am sad now... I'm gonna put an order for the sets below. Just waiting for some funds.

Classic Forest Green
Hangul Cyan and Pink
Hangul Blue and Red
Japanese Black and Red

Also interested in a reply to the questions below:

Any confirmation on the Korean font? The mockups look like gungsuh, but the MOD Keyboards set on Originative (https://www.originativeco.com/products/hangul?variant=16850508549) uses a different font (which has a compressed ㅊ, ㅎ, and off set ㄹ compared to EnjoyPBT's set). Also any samples of the Cyan dye? I have the EnjoyPBT Cyan and Pink, and the Cyan ended up closer to blue

Edit: Given the orders as of now I might have to rethink which sets to order. I was really hoping Hangul Cyan and Pink would meet MOQ.

Post by: MOZ on Wed, 20 July 2016, 07:48:35
About the font, Sheraton might be able to clarify more, but if we have enough (Don't remember the exact number) Hangul orders irrespective of color scheme, we can get the Gungsuh font, if not we'll fall back to the font seen on Originative store right now. IIRC Sheraton mentioned he will send out a notification email on the final font happening before we move to production.

Yes,  Gung Suh  Style fonts are more vintage,  than Hangul Gothic

Gung  궁  宮  =  Palace ,    Suh  서 書  =   calligraphy  書藝   :  The Font style popular among girls in the Korean palace since 500 years ago.

Order placed and paid.

Japanese Purple and Cyan
Japanese Black and Red
Hangul Blue and Red

I had to deviate from my original plan and dropped Classic Forest Green and Hangul Cyan and Pink due to the low order count. If I had more funds I would place an order for those two also to help reach MOQ. Unfortunately there are too many sets out now that I want and my wallet is bleeding.

At checkout I never had an option to leave a message for dual tone. Guess that only applies to the blank sets(?). My ordered sets will have dark grey modifiers and light grey alphas, just as the product images right?

I know which sets will make it, but the ones that might not make it have a chance.

I think the Arabic will not make it through this time around. We'll launch another a second round asap.

In the second round, the Japanese is guaranteed. The Arabic will be given a chance again in the second round.

Status of Classic Blue, Classic Purple, Hangul Blue/Red?

Classic (Dark Blue): 9
Classic (Royal Purple): 3
Hangul (Blue and Red): 11

Thanks Sherryton. Are we at a point where you can definitively say which sets will make it?



I know which sets will make it, but the ones that might not make it have a chance.

I think the Arabic will not make it through this time around. We'll launch another a second round asap.

In the second round, the Japanese is guaranteed. The Arabic will be given a chance again in the second round.

Hmm that sucks, how many more buys are needed for arabic blue?

Over 70 sets haha.

Each language needs 100 and each color needs 35 (25 with our help). The Arabic would need 100 total to get pushed, and it's too far from there. I think I'll e-mail everyone tomorrow about an exchange or refund.

Items that still has a chance:

Classic (Black)
...
Japanese (Black and Red)
...

Before I place an order, how close are we to getting Classic (Black) or Japanese (Black and Red)? I am interested in those two sets and would rather avoid having to get a refund :(

Those 2 sets are going to happen.

Alright, well I placed my order for Classic (Black) today. Looking forward to getting this set, thanks!

These are some items that will be refunded and most likely will not make it through.

Arabic (Black and Green)
Arabic (Black and Dark Blue)

Russian (Cyan and Pink)

Japanese (Red and Black)
Japanese (Purple and Cyan)

If there will be a guaranteed blue/red, or something else interesting not listed right now next round, I'll go for a refund, otherwise I'll think about changing my order.

Mate I got that email on July 28th... They give you the option of switching to a different colour or refund you the money. You didn't check then? This is basically how group buys work. You don't get enough sign-ups, the set doesn't get made.

The email I got offered me options in these sets:

Classic (Black)
Classic (Dark Blue)
Hangul (Blue and Red)
Hangul (Cyan and Pink)
Hangul (Black and Purple)
Japanese (Black and Red)
Japanese (Red and Black)

I pretty much get how group buys work. I ordered my set (Classic Black) on the 29th, then I contacted them adding a set of black blanks a couple of days later, they said that was no problem. Since then I havn't heard anything.

If I would have ordered something rare I wouldn't ask. But since I know alot of people did order the Classic black I'm a bit confused, that's all. But I'm no guessing the email is about the black blanks i ordered.

I see, that's a bit silly that you can't get your second set, but I think Sherryton said in an earlier thread that Originative will try to run Modern Beige again in the near future so maybe keep an eye out.

And also get in touch with Originative to make sure which one has been cancelled due to low orders

I placed my order of Modern Beige (Classic Black) on the first of August and my order have not been canceled (yet). So my guess is that it is the blanks that have been canceled.

Hello SYRE,

We're sorry about the lack of updates. The manufacturer took awhile in taking our orders.

There's going to be some slight delays as we are working on the pantone colors (we had just finished this week), and we are now having the product be sent in to our dye-subber. We are still working with MOZ to perfect the legends so it will be an easy process for our dye-subber.

We want to make sure we get every step perfect. We were hoping we can finish this set within a month, but it may take up to 2 MONTHS.

Hey kbdists :)

Here's an update on the group buy!

The sets are done with samples. We are about to go into full production for dye-sublimation, and it should be done soon.

I think the sets came out REALLY good. They did really good with the F & J because previously, it's usually placed real oddly with the bar.

Let me know what you guys think! I'll get more pictures real soon.

I noticed that they didn't do the side-legends for the samples (and missing capslock sublegend for Jpn set).
Is that a mistake or is it just them not wanting to do side-legends for the samples?

Either way, looks pretty good so far.

I believe they will not make all side legends as it's a lot of work. They will do 3 per set, but I have to confirm.

That's actually quite a bummer to hear  :( .. I can't imagine I'm the only one who was really looking forward to the side legends, especially since it was in the advertised mockups.
Seems like it only really affects the Japanese sets though.

For those who can't access the samples image, right click and open it in a new tab and fix the link.

For those who can't access the samples image, right click and open it in a new tab and fix the link.

Yeah, I'm real sorry about that. I can honor a 100% refund for you!

If anyone else has a problem with the side legends right now and need a refund, please e-mail us!

I believe they will not make all side legends as it's a lot of work. They will do 3 per set, but I have to confirm.

Though I'm a little sad, missing a couple side legends isn't a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the GB and updates Sherryton.

New album! All the colors we saw were really good except the Miami set. We are trying to fix it before producing them. We'll show pictures of the Miami set when they are ready

After we set everything, sets should be done within no time.

Thanks for the info! Unfortunately I just returned to university so I'm not sure when I'll have the money and time to purchase a set, so I might have to wait for the next round. Which leads to my next question: do you have an approximate time when the next round will begin? I'm interested in getting the JP set (love those legends).

In for some JP purple/cyan goodness!  :)

I passed on this while on GB stage, but the samples finally sealed the deal for me. I thought the colors would come out faded. The alphas look nice and vibrant in the end though.

Can we get a few sample shots of colored modifier caps while we wait?

1800 hype. I would've bought this keyset but for this compatibility. In the minority so I understand but I really appreciated the adding on of the 1800 kit to the Chronicler GB. I'm excited to get this set with it as well as the posted pics looked far better than I was anticipating.

Ideus, it seems you can still place an order for a whole set on Originative, I reckon Sherryton ordered extras for retail to push MOQ, they probably will ship out in the same wave as the GB orders. Might be worth emailing Oco and ask them directly.

Sorry for the poo quality of the following picture, it's dark in my room. This is OG Cherry alphas (same colour as GMK Classic Retro) next to the MOD dyesub PBT caps on the TADA68 which I suppose is the same as the dye-sub provider for Modern Beige.

Currently we are still waiting for the Oco PBT / Modern beige sets from China. The factory had some minor delays, but are almost finished. The workers are currently enjoying a national Holiday "National Day" where they will be off between the 1st of October and the 7th. We expect this set  to be finished and shipped shortly after their Holiday. We apologize for the delay, and thank you for your patience.

We will not have an updated date for fulfillment until after the Chinese Holiday.

Modern Beige should ship this week. They are in the process of being packaged.

I'm going to try to ship them out as soon as possible, but I'm getting boxes made that might delay this. I have to figure out if I can get the boxes done in time.

I'll show progress of both the sets and boxes as soon as I can.

... I'm just being impatient. I'd be sad if they arrived scratched up.  I've heard things about GMK producing keys that are rigid (possibly the wrong word) enough that they will damage each other in poor packaging.

Hey guys, highly sorry about the lack of updates this past week. We were away for the weekend due to Veteran's Day. As for the package, it should have arrived last Thursday or Friday, but it's still on its way to us. We'll give another update sometime this week regarding any new information.

whats funny about originative is.
even if they put declare $10, they still put the invoice with real price in the package,
so if custom check the package you still have to pay the custom fees cause they notice the invoice and real price of the package (happen to me twice)  :))

Yup. The only reason I ever used TKL/60% was to save space on the right side.
Thanks to compact-1800 layout, I can actually have a numpad while still having free space on the right side.

Just want to take a moment to thank Sherryton/Originative for doing a wonderful job on this. It's always good to see your designs come to fruition. I'd also like to let everyone know that Originative had to put in some extra effort when it came to the legends due to my unavailability to assist them at the final stages due to my constant relocation and work. Well done lads!

My keycaps arrived today. I guess they just forgot to send out shipping notifications :)

Hey! Yeah, the notification should be sent. I'm not sure why it's not. Sorry about the delays.

We're trying to push out the shipping as fast as we can.

So, what'up? Still nothing here. Some people have already got their sets and I don't have a shipping notification?

We're still working on cranking these out!

No rush! the holidays just passed. Also, i would rather wait longer for a complete set than get it soon and have some caps missing!

I really can't agree with no rush when they should have shipped early september, but some (me included) still haven't gotten a shipping notification..

If these sets are made by Gateron, that may explain the 6u space bar. I got one from Infiniti and they are very cool, the only Cherry 6u space bars available, besides those few GMK GB that are recently considering it. You can get it from IMSTO's store and in his sets.

Contact and ask them. I did not get a notification either but apparently it is already in Germany and cleared customs on the 3rd. It was send on the 17th of November. Hopefully I get a message to pick it up soon...

Sorry about our late responses. Lots of shipping and work behind the scenes getting done.

Regarding these sets, it seems like the company missed 10 blue legend and 6 black and black japanese sets. They are en route to us. Other than these, all other orders should have been shipped unless you ordered them with another item that is a pre-order.

Should I send a message if I haven't received a shipping notification? (My order is a Hangul Cyan/Pink)

I'm in the same boat.

Not that I'm in a real rush to get my set, but I think the communication definitely could've been a bit better regarding this GB. Delays may happen out of Originative's control, but I expect to be kept updated more frequently and accurately than some of the updates we received. There's only so many times one can hear, "It should be sent out to you next week!" before it starts getting old. And not knowing an accurate inventory of what sets have been received and sent or not been sent out? That's not good.

Well, I  guess I'll just share my pictures here. The dyesubbing job is okay, a bit below EnjoyPBT with not as sharp edges as well as a few slight alignment problems, but nothing insanely bad. BUT there is one thing that is unacceptable imho and I hope this will improve in the next round. It is warped keys, maybe I was just unlucky, but all my stabilized keys are too warped to be usable (I'll do the hairdryer fix later though). Now, without further ado I present you: Very noisy photographs taken with a smartphone in a badly lit environment of the Japanese Purple-Cyan set with Skeletor mods:

Nice pics! The skeletor mods work really well with that set. I think you were probably somewhat unlucky with the stabilized key. Only one of my spacebars was warped(I think the 7u one?) I assumed that the keycaps themselves were still produced by Gateron and only dyesubbed by MOD but I guess I might be wrong.

I totally get that. But every time someone in this thread asks it's taking 2-7 days before he/she gets an answer. This thread isn't exactly 200 pages long and the questions aren't That many. I just think that the overall communication could be alot better.

I talked to Wendy via email and she "thinks" the blank sets are on their way. I just think that you guys should ship the non-blank sets out first and the blank ones once you get them.

Man.  This is surprising to me.  I have 3 sets of EnjoyPBT/Gateron PBT sets, and I've had some slight warping on the 6.25 and 7 spacebars, but rest of the keys have been perfect.  The spacebars weren't even warped enough to keep them from mounting and functioning properly(I'm typing one one now).  If I put the spacebar on my desk, and press on one side, the other side would be ~ 1/16th off the surface. 

I hope y'all get some reasonably speedy resolution...

I believe what you do is put some heavy objects on the spacebar, and heat it with the hairdryer. When it gets hot enough the weight of the objects should be able to bend it straight, and it'll stay that way after it cools. i haven't tried it though so maybe someone can elaborate.

Overall, there seems to be some significant differences in the boldness and size of the font printing on some of the mods.

I also realized that my 6.25u spacebar is not only warped on the vertical axis, it is warped in the horizontal.  I tried it on a board and it won't stay connected to the stabs...I don't think this one is fixable at all.  My shift keys also won't stay on the stabs due to the warping. Very disappointed.

So far I've been lucky. But I have only properly looked at my Jap Purple/Cyan set. It has a slightly warped space. Not enough to bother me or as serious as yours.

Sigh.... Guess I have to properly examine my other 3 sets.

The issues described above are not ok. Even though I am not directly affected (that I know so far) I will most likely not join future GBs from Originative with keys from that manufacturer and/or that dye-subber.

That font issue on the Control key is just plain wrong.

Edit:
Just to clarify. I am happy with my set(s) so far (unless I discover something major). It is just so discouraging to see those reported issues for a future GB. Paying a lot of money for the sets including custom fees makes me feel it is not worth the risk.

Does anyone here have a 2.25 shift with black dye-sub they would be willing to sell or trade? I need a second one for my FC660, and these legends don't match anything else. :(

I'm a little frustrated with Originative right now. I'm being told that they will need to source replacement caps from the manufacturer, despite the fact that they have sets available in Japanese Red/Black in stock. In the meantime, I'm supposed to just throw the unusable set to the side and wait an indeterminable amount of time to receive replacements.

Maybe my expectations are too high, but if I receive a defective item and the seller has replacements in stock, then I should be able to exchange for a good working item.

I've ordered six full GMK sets and the Modern Beige in the past two months from Originative and up until now I have been very happy. I hope this can be cleared up amicably.

Something interesting I just noticed. My 1.25u Control keys have different sized fonts with the bottom Control being smaller:

Unfortuntely, warping is common in dye subbed PBT keys, but I cannot understand why the space bar is also warped.

I agree that it is to be expected to some degree. However, the Enter, 2.25u Shift, 2.75 Shift, and 6.25u Spacebar are unusable for this, especially with Costar stabs.

I haven't received a response from Originative on my follow up email yesterday. I assume the holidays are the culprit. It really stinks that I cannot use this set.

Hey guys, so I am not sure if you heard about the news about the shipping agent shipping the wrong package for our TADA to Amazon Warehouse in Phoenix, AZ. We are currently swapping agents at the time. Once she receives the package, they will be sent to us right away. I can then finish to proceed this group buy.

I read pretty much everything on mechanical keyboards online and havent seen anything about this. How about just keeping us updated in the thread actually created for the GB instead of letting us guess? Just a little tip..

I know I sound very angry/grumpy about this. I know things can happen and don't go as planned. But I think it's pretty easy for you guys to just keep us updated here in the thread or via email..

Hello Sherryton,

Any chance for a classic black set and a black/red japanese legend set ?
The website says that it's out of stock.

If not, will there be a round 2 ?

Thx

Are you talking about classic beige with black legends? The black/red should be coming in.

The classic beige will not be restocked this time around unfortunately. They just sold out this week :(

Thx Sherryton.

Will it be on the website ? Or do I need to order it directly from you here ?
Because it's still out of sale for the black / red japanese on the website
