Old OP:

UPDATE: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92983.msg2562173#msg2562173
I proposed the idea in slack, thought I'd get more feedback. This has been one of my grail sets for a long time, never thought to run it myself. Many of the old-timers may remember when blanks were the "in" thing. Unfortunately, nobody ever thought to make a red blank set. Now I'm doing it.
Color will be RO2.
(https://uniqey.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/205091409/keycap_colors_2016.jpg)
RO1 is too dark, P3 is also good, V1 is too orange. RO2 is the color I imagine this set in my head.
I've opted for 112344 (or BBCDEE), since it's a little more compatible with modern layouts.
GMK Render:
(http://i.imgur.com/7nbw8aJ.jpg)
The windows on the windowed caps will also be translucent red.
Render by Oblotzky.
It supports everything and more.
(https://i.imgur.com/KxfHzsx.png)
Pricing will be ~$120. MOQ 100
I forgot about taxes when I initially estimated pricing on this kit, so it's slowly rising as I'm learning.

samples? i have the ceresia mod set and the p3 red is quite bright irl. r02 looks even lighter on that chart.
i'll see if that can be arranged
it's a stock color so shouldn't be too much of a pain
i want it to be extremely red, though
it's the same red as the "control" key on GMK soware, which is why i chose it

that was the plan, but i have to sell it to buy something i've been looking for for a while
I thought you'd run yolch before this :eek:
that was the idea, but i've had trouble getting in contact with JTK to run it in cherry profile
i also don't really have the resources to run a GB like that in the way i'd like, whereas this will probably have like 100 sets ordered and i can make someone else do it

nah I think a red blank set would look cool, even if I wouldn't buy it. As someone else pointed out on the Blank Check thread, there's very little reason to go with GMK for non-doubleshots, and look into JTK instead. I don't know the contact info for JTK though, but surely someone around here has it. But it's your call, maybe there's some special sauce in GMK I don't know about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

JTK is non-contactable. I've been looking for their info for a few weeks now, and I can't find it. I've asked in my Chinese channels too, and nobody seems to have an email address for them.
GMK is a proven manufacturer, and they're easy to reach.

I'm not the biggest fan of R0-R5, but that seems to be the "in" thing right now, so I'll do that.
What? Can you point me to any set that has r0? I'm interested in this, but only to harvest r0 gmk caps since they practically don't exist!

most OG sets are r0-r5
i've opted for the more "modern" 112344 for better compatability

I'm finding I prefer P3 over RO2, if i'm honest. do blank GMK sets cost significantly less, since they aren't double shot?
i've been told they cost over 30% less, but i have not confirmed this yet
ro2 is a more extreme red than p3, and that's the look i'm going for

There should be enough keys on each row to complete a Planck, right?
Yep! That's actually why I chose 112344 as the profile for this set. There are more than enough r4 1us to make the bottom row work. The other rows can just take from the numpad.

I can confirm that photo is too saturated (I have the color samples). But it doesn't dethrone RO2 as the reddest GMK stock color for now, and that's why I choose RO2 for GMK Mondrian.

Post by: KaosJ on Thu, 04 January 2018, 06:37:32
I don't really get this type of sets, first of all BLANKS with GMK doesn't make much sense, even if a GMK cap is top notch you still usually go for them for their awesome doubleshot, because for blanks we have other options, imho doesn't make sense due the GMK price to go for ABS blanks. Plus to this you are adding a strict color, something that you probably know is not for everyone, without even mentioning the uniform color (nothing particularly great).
I honestly kinda doubt we should run these sets via GMK, pretty hard to hit the MOQ if it will be 150 as usual and even if the MOQ will be lower because they are blank or for whatever reason, the price will still be ridiculous for what it is (thick abs blanks caps). Mondrian was like $80 if i remember correctly and this should be more expensive than Mondrian, I would say around $90-100
The only thing in the set that i think could push people to buy it, is probably the R4C, but still i doubt it might happen at a 150 MOQ.
Also, if thick ABS blank caps is what you want, as another user suggested you might really want to go for JTK for half of the price of the set (at that price more people might be interested), since with JTK the biggest problem are the legends, while the cap himself is more or less the same thng (yeah i saw you said the finish on JTK sets isn't as nice as GMK sets, i just don't agree with that statement).
Just my 2 cents, please don't take it personal.

there's nothing to get, it's thick ABS blanks
i like the way GMK feels, but i don't like the way most legends look
PBT blanks wouldn't come out the right color

if you can find me JTK's contact info, i'll run it as JTK
i've been looking for nearly two months now with no dice

For JTK, you might want to contact zF for this (to get the contact of JTK or to run it through zF), if what you tried is to deal directly with JTK contacting them, i doubt this will work.
i'll PM you the mail.
Honestly no i think JTK caps are very good if you don't care about legends, basically GMK with some dumb legends somewhere.
Also, remember to add various proxy in many regions for this, that's actually the only way to hope to reach the MOQ on a Blank GMK set.

Woke up to an email from GMK. It's very much looking like we'll be able to run this set for close to $100. MOQ 100.
Also, the windowed keys will feature red tinted windows instead of normal clear ones.
I'll speak to my vendors next and let you know about final pricing soon.

That’s a damn good price!!
There's a chance it ends up at like $105, but for 138 keys that's pretty good.
EDIT: I forgot about taxes, so it's gonna go up a bit. Should still be reasonable, though. Low $100 range for sure.

Thanks. That's part of what took GMK so long to reply, they were checking to see if that could be done. I think it'll look really nice.
Post by: Puddsy on Fri, 12 January 2018, 12:35:25
Price for other regions may/will be higher due to taxes and stuff. Full price list coming as I flesh out the proxies.
I didn't think about taxes and margins in my initial estimate, and that price is with those factored in.
I'm planning on launching the GB in the second week of February, working on getting a concrete date. Might be moved back depending on proxies and other boring behind the scenes stuff.
If any of you know of a vendor who might be interested in proxying for your region, feel free to let me know so I can get in touch with them. I already have an EU vendor confirmed, and I'm working out terms with my NA vendor.

wondering if GMK is thinking what I am thinking. Shine thought key's that look blank. Have the key's lets say red and then have a clear double shot insert thats the same color red. It wouldn't obviously be completely unnoticeable but would be pretty darn hidden.. and when the keyboard's on I expect it to make a nice impression. Thais the case Puddsy might have stumbled on to a new key cap design for everyone to enjoy. I like the idea of this just not sure where and if i ever use red keycap set.. who knows Thought the CU-75 looks nice guessing it be offered in colors that compliment the red caps nicely.
i asked about this as well
translucent plastics don't look anything like opaque plastics, it couldn't be done in a way that i'd want
plus, the legends would have cross-hatching in them because of how the doubleshot process works
it is a nice idea though
take a look at the cherry replica set/smallfry set for more info

Any chance you could add a coupe accent blanks just for esc and enter. Even as another kit. I was just thinking like on a red keyboard, a black esc, enter, space would look really nice.
if i wasn't worried about this set making MOQ i would
but i'm worried about the base making 100 sets, i don't think an accent kit would make it

Hmmm. Fair enough.
The 1u keys aren’t really even the problem. I figure those could be sold in sets of like 2ea R1/4 and 1ea R2/3. Then hitting 100 moq isn’t so bad cause people can buy more than one. But with mods they will be much harder to manage. I guess I’ll just have to hope hkp does another round of blanks in colors that could work.

Yea I did the meme65 design, the original one had penis on the badge lol.
Sorry that RO2 looks so ****ty in those renders btw, was just doing it for krelbit so he can see how it looks w/ caps on the case. I really need to work on my shading/lighting in Keyshot

In an interesting turn of events, JTK actually reached out to me about producing blank sets. The pricing they gave was REALLY good, but they don't quite have the compat and color I want for this set specifically. They also can't do the translucent cap, which I really want. All future blank sets I do will probably be JTK, though. They gave me a really good quote.
Also, my NA vendor is Switchmod.net, pricing from them will be $120, with a price break to $115 at 150 sets. I didn't get pricing from GMK past 150 sets, since I don't think we'll sell more than that.
I'm still working out a Chinese proxy.
Post by: futurecrime on Fri, 19 January 2018, 18:02:02
Have you compared JTK to GMK? I'm sceptical but I'm down if it holds up. Just can't stomach settling for second best.
Post by: Puddsy on Fri, 19 January 2018, 23:32:00
I'm hoping for an EU proxy, but wonder sometimes if it's cheaper to order from China anyway, cos China stuff seems to bypass customs in the UK.

Caps unlocked is the EU proxy.
JTK for blanks isn't quite as good as GMK (texture differences on new caps -- shine is shine), but GMK can also do a few more things than JTK (translucent plastics, R4C caps, and a few other minor things). I want a few specific things for this set that JTK can't do, since it's always been a bit of a dream for me.

USD -> EUR has totally tanked over the last few weeks, and the set would now cost more than I feel comfortable charging (at least $140).
I tried to gut some keys from the kit, but then it's $120 for a kit with pretty lame compatibility.
You can thank the people who are in charge of the US economy for this.
News coming soon, I think I have a way to get this done regardless.
Post by: Puddsy on Mon, 05 March 2018, 00:23:40
FINALLY got JTK's contact info for their English speaking rep after looking for what feels like forever.
Pricing will be around $50 (depending on price breaks), but compat has been gutted a bit. We're looking at about 120 keys.

thanks puddsy - JTK should be awesome, i know you were excited for the translucent stuff but $50 price point is fantastic. the only lingering quirks of the JTK process (entEr) wont even exist as blanks.
yus
it'll be good

While the switch to JTK does kinda suck for your overall vision of this set, but I think it'll do wonders for getting people to buy in. Personally the change actually takes me from "It is a pretty nice set I might consider getting in the GB" with GMK to "Holy ****! $50 for quality thick ABS set? Where do i sign up at!?" with JTK. My only question is how bad the compatibility is affected by the change in manufacturers? All I really would be looking for is an extra 2,25u Shift, a 1.75u Shift, 3 bottom row 1u keys (not including the arrow cluster), & a 1u key in each row profile. That way I could use it with all my 65% & 68 key boards.
Yeah I'm hoping it'll cover a TGR 910 with split spacebar layout. Don't know if JTK do the required spacebars. However, for the price I'll buy it anyway and use just use it on something else if it's lacking that particular compat.
Post by: blighty on Tue, 06 March 2018, 14:38:57
False hope query: Since this is still in IC, any chance for a monotone black on red set to run along side this? I'd think people would buy a set of each to mix and match. I know that goes outside of what the original intention of this buy, but if this will have multiple vendor support worldwide, I'd think it would be more than feasible, and not too much more logistics for anyone (assuming there are vendors involved).

capsunlocked is going to be the EU proxy for this set!
I would just like to inform everyone that if you purchase a JTK Red Riot Keycap Set from capsunlocked, and this reaches MOQ, you will receive a discount code for 5£ off of the CU75!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I look forward to working with Puddsy to make sure that this set reaches MOQ!

compat was definitely gutted, i'm still working on finalizing it
should be able to cover /most/ standard layouts due to the nature of it being blank
i will ask about getting an extra 2.75, shift in there, there's already a second 2.25 for leopold boards, but it might add to the cost, JTK doesn't like to add things to their sets because there are a lot of problems in the sorting process
but it'll definitely cover a full spacebar 65%
It's great to see that this set is going through in one shape or another, regardless of the manufacturer.

i'm definitely doing other blank sets if this goes through, so don't worry about that
i have some GMK colorways i've been working on (and JTK yolch) so we'll see

$50 is pretty damning.

They do not have scoops. I asked.
I'm still pretty happy with the color. I'll make a final judgement once the sample set comes in, but I think JTK's standard red will be OK for this.

I'm still pretty happy with the color. I'll make a final judgement once the sample set comes in, but I think JTK's standard red will be OK for this.
and no windowed caps?
Still a great price though, interested in how the samples come out

thanks pudddddsy - i think the red is darker than you had envisioned from the start - but its perfect for me

They have those, but I was told they are difficult to produce reliably. Since the switch to JTK was meant to keep costs down, they're not in this round. Adding 2 R1 1u blanks, windowed full caps, and a windowed stepped caps would add about $7 to the base cost of the set. I like the even $50 we have now.

Thanks for the reply, good to know! Still looking forward to the set, and FWIW I wouldn't mind paying 7 bucks for the windowed caps ;D :thumb:

And after a quick look at the JTK sets on originativeco.com, those have them too.

I'll ask again, maybe the molds changed since those were made.

this set was just ran with both bars and scoops.
Would be awesome to get both here, but wont be a deal breaker

turns out it's the same issue with the accent keys in yolch: they're molded at the same time as other stuff, so there would have to be a bunch of other stuff tacked on that we don't really need and would add more cost then intended
so we're stuck with the numpad nubbin

Is it possible to add 6u spacebar?Yes, but not without a cost for everyone involved with the buy.
In its current state, this set is like, 90% finalized for sale. The introduction of any keys to this set would push the price of the whole thing up by $3-4. Since we're trying to run this for a fairly low price introducing keys is pretty much out of the question at this point.

Ah I see. Totally understand. Probably should've mention it early on. It's just I have this one particular board (the only board that I own with 6u spacebar) that I think will look pretty badass with red riot. But still considering to join this GB though with or without the 6u, the price is a steal!

Asking because i think maxkey seems to have something similar, and curious as to why.

why does JTK have production periods?
Asking because i think maxkey seems to have something similar, and curious as to why.
they don't own the factory, so they have to buy production time in blocks
they can do it whenever (or whenever the factory has capacity for it), but since they don't do year round production, they don't need to own all the machines and stuff
this also plays into the theory that maxkey made new tooling, rather than the other theory that they bought/found old SP tooling
at least that's how i understand it from what they told me, i'll ask them if there's anything i need to clarify
i believe they're working up to a full scale factory, they showed me some stuff they're working on, it's worth getting excited about

For GMK Doom it was cheaper to buy from NA and import instead of someone in the same country.
Good to see stuff moving though. ;D

Will CU mark the price up loads again?

Should be about 50 GBP for Red Riot (have to double check this one, seems a lil high), and 80 GBP for Yolch at lowest MOQ.

Good to hear.
Lowest MOQ meaning 100 or 400? Presume 100.
