Oh my god. SA Camping is one of my favourite sets ever, but cant use since im an ISO user.
This is FANTASTIC news. love the set. :thumb:
Is there any plans where you are planning to run this set? I hope there will be a EU proxy.
Set looks very good. Only thing id wish for was a green ISO enter (but if only one - the red is good). Usually not liking novelties but i like every single one here.
You seems to have the base-kit almost perfect. Is this something that is close to being ran or are we looking at Q1 18?
Interested, depends on vendor ;D
Any chance for an ergo/ortho kit?

One request, adding a 1u R4 'Hack' key to the base kit would be great!

Aw yisss. Great port over for GMK. Glad to see this set return. Heads up all! Custom colors announced, we need a hype train on all fronts for this with a SOLID vendor for support. 250 is the minimum and though we can all say insta buy, we need some strong media blasts for this. Is Chain as hyped up about this as the NA market?
In for sure, but planck support in the base set like laser currently has would be even nicer. An r3 and r2 1u novelty would be nice too.
This! They’re some of the best novelties around and 65% is one of the best form factors.In for sure, but planck support in the base set like laser currently has would be even nicer. An r3 and r2 1u novelty would be nice too.
I don't care about planck support. But I'd love if it added R2/R3 novelties for 65% layouts :P. Either way I will buy it though.
GMK laser reached moq i think. :D so its not impossible for this to reach moq too haha.Any chance for an ergo/ortho kit?

We can provide ergo/ortho kit, but the problem is MOQ since we are using custom colors.

GMK laser is probably the most hyped set of all time
this is not
I'm definitely getting this. Only thing I would change, I don't like the front legends on the ' ` 2 3 4 keys. Any chance we can get alts without them?
Hi all,Not having ortho support isn't that big of a deal but dropping novelties would suck. The novelties make this kit IMHO. Even If the price was over 150 I feel it would be worth it to keep as many novelties as possible.
Thanks for all your comments/suggestions, I'll surely look into some great suggestions such as a R4 1u End.
About ergo/planck and more novelty keys, the thing is..we are doing this as a vendor GB rather than MD.
Hence we need to take good consideration of pricing and compatibility and of course MOQ.
Once GMK sends me the pricing of this initial design, I'll see what we can do about all your requests. ;D
Currently, my goal is to keep Camping ~$150 GB price. I received some nice suggestions about lowering the price that really worth considering, such as remove one of those 2 arrow novelties.
Let me know what you think about this please.
Lets see where the pricing is, but I would very much like the keep the marron arrow novelties. It really accentuates the entire kit. Thanks! Can't wait!
You should keep the brown arrow keys since the arrow keys in the base kit are already green.

While you're waiting on GMK, can we have other goodies too? Like Camping themed wires, pouches, and maybe even a case (but lol, any wooden case would look amazing anyways)

check out this picture I shot on SA Camping https://imgur.com/2hue6p8 (https://imgur.com/2hue6p8)
Is this what you mean? ;D Camping looks good on space grey case too
Loooove this. Any timeline for a GB yet?
I received today the initial pricing from GMK, I guess I need to reduce the base kit a little bit.
Early information about GB will be announced together with the next revision of kit design

My suggestion would to remove all 8 novelty arrow keys. Yes, they are really really nice, but i would much rather have the different novelties, and the arrows with 4 (?) new molds should detract quite a decent bit from the price i suppose.
Another suggestion would be to replace those 8, with just regular maroon arrows as well.
Is both 6u (either one or both) space-bars needed? Especially since you can get those in the space-bar addon kit. Not sure how many actually use those.
So:
-remove 8 novelty arrow
-possible add maroon regular arrow cluster
-remove 6u spacebar(s) since 6u is available in spacebar-kit.
Obviously I haven’t seen the pricing and I’m not sure if this has been said before, but why not just split the base kit into base + novelties and add some extra maroon accents to the base kit, like enter, escape, or arrows? I feel like that’s more in line with the status quo for GMK sets coming out lately anyway. Love the novelties though, please don’t change them, except maybe only doing one arrow color!

Problem with splitting novelties is they might not fire. MOQ is high, and the camping novelties is such an integral part of the keyset.

I hope I don't get flogged for this but I think cream and maroon spacebars make up for a better kit than cream and green bars :-X Green bars with the green modifiers just look too... green
There are definitely a couple of novelties that I could live without (particularly the fish), but I imagine we'd need to do a poll or something and that's assuming OP is even ok with it.
Would it be possible to add a 2u shift for DZ60/XD60/Manila compatibility? GMK appears to have the molds for it now so hopefully it's not too out of the question.
Other than that, it looks great! Looking forward to the buy!

This sounds quite doable to me, since I own 2 XD60 boards and it's quite popular in China as well. Will add that in the next revision.

HOW MUCH IS THE FISH?!
Please don‘t take the fish! Love this one! If one has to go, you can take the stars. But I‘d also prefer to keep as mich of them as possible.

Removal suggestions:
LED window caps lock and LED stepped caps lock
R3 stepped control - keep the standard R3 control
four long green space bars - bring the white space bars into the spacebars kit
green arrow novelty keys - keep the maroon
Any possibility for an R4 1u Hack key? The mould for it already exists, so there shouldn't be any significant costs to have it produced.
I agree with that opinion of the green spacebars, spacebar kit definitely needs to be updated.
Besides this, removing the R3 ctrl sounds doable to me. A quick question to HHKB users tho, do you really need a R3 ctrl?
tbh, I don't think I wanna sacrifice any individual novelty key, neither does Monkey six.
I guess we need to start a poll...if I figure out how to start one.. ;D
Sorry guys if I don't quote all of your useful suggetions in my reply..
It's just multi-quote is a headache here...especially to someone who doesn't post a lot.

Do.... NOT.... remove R3 control. It's not HHKB specific either. Let the record stand, I'm totally out of this GB is R3 ctrl goes. >:D
Edit: IDC about stepped R3 control. That can go for all I care. But standard R3 ctrl is a must.
Any chance we can get the red space bars instead of green ones? Wouldn't the idea of the additional space bar kits is to have alternatives color different than the mods? Which in this case is green?
Suggestions:
Keep the LED windowed keys.
Keep the maroon novelty arrows.
Drop the stepped Control key.
Drop the green novelty arrows.
Add 2 x R4 1.5u Meta keys or novelty keys? This would add HHKB-style support with the outer bottom row keys being 1u Alt keys. It's something I found lacking in the original keyset.
Just my two cents.
…Removing multiples of keys with custom novelties on them won't significantly lower the price of the set.
I really like this one! Been looking for the SA set for a while but it looks like this color scheme and novelties look great on GMK also!
My only concern is that the muted green ends up being more saturated than in those nice renders. This has happened before e.g. gmk plum (https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_comment%2FlocIutTNQCiqz5TinmGQ_gmkplum.jpg?auto=format&fm=jpg&fit=max&w=1300&h=787&dpr=2&q=40) and gmk nautilus (https://i.imgur.com/Ej00yxw.jpg). I would be all over this set if it would be 100% certain that end product would look exactly like those renders.

Have you tried looking at these through an IPS display* :O. I thought Plum came out perfectly. There's only a handful of photos that perfectly capture the colors. It's probably the most difficult set to photograph (tbf almost all keysets that have non-muted colors are hard to photograph, haha).
Nautilus concerns me though cos the yellow from the renders is brighter than the yellow in Zambumon's pictures. But eh, it could just be the filters he added to his instagram photos.
*It won't be 100% faithful to whatever was rendered but it'll be close enough.
**I didn't buy either of the GMK sets you mentioned and I am very, very sad
Edit: The SA Camping photos here have greens that are more saturated than the renders. I get what you mean :). It suddenly looks a bit tacky if the greens aren't muted
Interested, depends on vendor ;D

Around how much would the spacebar kit cost? :)

I don't know that yet, because the spacebar kit is not sent to GMK for quote yet.
I'm thinking of changing the green spacebars to maroon, and put 6u there

Please keep scooped F/J.Same, scooped F/J/5 can't possibly be that costly to keep.
- R1 1u creamy white F5-F8
- R1 1u green ~`
- R3 1u dished F, J, 5
- R4 1u 00
I would really really prefer to keep the dished keys, so much better than barred. For my OCD I'd like to keep the 1u green ~. Creamy white F5-F8 would be nice to have but not a dealbreaker for me. I also have a Ducky Pocket so the 1u 00 would be nice but a novelty would replace fine. I'm ok with rest of changes. I'm indifferent on the watster. I like the cap but don't see it fitting in line with rest of novelties. x
Would it be possible to add back at least a 6.25 green spacebar?
edit: I'm also ok with paying the $180 or whatever it would be to have all keys included.

Removing deep dished F,J and adding watster was not a good choice, man. :(Watster really doesn't fit in there, he looks really out of place. I'd personally suggest considering holding another poll on whether we should or shouldn't keep watster and a poll on which of the removed key(s) we want back the most. I kinda wish I said I'd pay the whole $180 for the set now.
26/11/2017 Rev. 2:
Please see OP for kit renders
Removed:

- R2 1.5u green |\
- R3 1.75u stepped Control, regular caps lock(windowed)
- R3 1u dished F, J, 5

- 6u Spacebars
Added:
- R4 1u End
- R1 1u Green watster novelty key
- R4 2u shift
Changed:
- R3 1u iso key changed to primary legend
- Green spacebars in the spacebar kit changed to maroon
Pls tell me what you think :)
Why not add a transparent red campfire key instead of watster? :) Ofc I am assuming GMK would use the same mold but transparent plastic this time

Again, any chance to move any of the R1 novelties like the white campfire or another to R2 in the next revision? Would be nice if you could provide your thoughts on this instead of remaining silent with me. I am requesting this because there's already a good number of R1 novelties for use, moving any to R2 will provide a more efficient spread for small compact layout users.
I don't think I would like to move any novelty key to R2, the novelty keys are minimized tbh.
This is what I'm planning to do with those novelty keys, put 4 green novelties on the F row for f5-f8, 3 different camp fire novelties on the function keys.
let me know if anyone else thinks some R2 novelties would be nice.
I don't think adding some will be doable since the package is already pretty huge.
However you removed R1 1u green ~` and R2 1.5u green |\, which are very important for 60% keyboards IMO. These two keys costs little. Please do keep them!
Disappointed by some of the changes.
R4 2u shift is mainly for minila or XD64. That's very tempting. However you removed R1 1u green ~` and R2 1.5u green |\, which are very important for 60% keyboards IMO. These two keys costs little. Please do keep them!
As for the watster novelty, it has nothing to do with Camping! But if it helps with MOQ, Well I can always give it to some friend who want it anyway.
Just please add back R1 1u green ~` and R2 1.5u green |\
A 3 days voting might not be that accurate.
BTW I'm one of those who think some R2 novelties would be really nice. But I understand it's not a major demand.

I have like 5 60% boards, and I never put a modifier colored |\ on them, but I can understand ppl do that.
It's just I wanna minimize aesthetics and make room for compatibility.

Yes, a green ~ is more likely to be used on a 68-key layout(top right corner), and it surely can be replaced by a green novelty.
Please add green |\ back at least.
A bit saddened at the removal of the R2 1.5u Green |\ key but I'm still following this for further developments. Hope we all come to an agreement at the end~

Yeah but we added the watster... wat?? Why? It literally has nothing to do with SA Camping. If we're being that suggestible, why don't we run a matching green and red boobycap gb. We could call it boobycamp....
Add the scooped F and J backThe Scoops are coming back, lol
Scoops>Bars
I'll add those scooped keys back in the next revision.But I'm glad scoops are coming back, but I'll show my support for this set no matter what direction it goes in and if adding Watster helps with MOQ then by all means keep him in. I just want this set to happen which is what's most important.
Read the entire thread before you comment. The watster was added cause one of the stores said they would stock sets if it was included. The cost of 1 key is negligible and is totally worth it to sell a bunch of extra sets and help moq.

I have indeed read the thread. But if you look at the overwhelming cries of the commenters, few people actually want it here. And, more importantly, useful keys are getting cut in favor novelties. Personally, I'm largely indifferent towards it, but I can't help but seeing how ridiculous it is. I vote function over form ... but I just bought a Gaijin laser set so I really shouldn't talk. :wat:
Edit: with the popularity of SA Camping, I doubt we really need the watster for this set to be picked up be a distributor anyway.

You understand you are literally getting worked up over like $2 right?
You don’t want a watster we get it. Most people are indifferent. Some like myself would love to get one. For $2 and the added benefit of a distributor, this seems simple to me.

i liked the watster but whatever it's your set
Are there a possibility to have red campfire keycap?
Why not add a transparent red campfire key instead of watster? :) Ofc I am assuming GMK would use the same mold but transparent plastic this time
I'm not sure if it's possible for GMK to produce those. I'll ask in my next mail.

If GMK can't make it, then can we have a simple artisan instead? Granted Monkey Six and Kingnestea allow for such a thing. People who opted in GMK Camping are the only ones allowed to have a chance at purchasing such a thing. Newbie me is wary of the logistic/shipping nightmare tho.
That owl does look amazing! :DAre there a possibility to have red campfire keycap?

I'll contact Dat Chau, the maker of this nice owl artisan I had in this picture https://imgur.com/2hue6p8 (https://imgur.com/2hue6p8) and see if he has any great idea about that.
In the meanwhile, I have sent pictures to Christoph regarding that translucent camp fire novelty key we have in SA Camping.
I hope that GMK can provide something similar.
2u shift is nice. Also like the green ~ and \.
Is there a reason for so few burgundy keys? No R4 burgundy at all apart from the nav keys.
Edit: nvm, i see the spacebar set changed to burgundy. I could have sworn the spacebar set was all green when I first looked.
Removed:Kinda sad to see the watster go. Still a solid set though.

Added more renders from our homie thesiscamper :D :D
GMK confirmed they can produce that translucent novelty key as SP made for SA Camping.
Still awaiting final quote with that translucent novelty.
Dammmmmmn those new renders are clean...
I already have SA Camping...not sure how I'll convince the Missus that I need the same colourway in a different profile...but I have faith in my ability
looks great!!

Tell her that Camping will not happen in DCS/DSA or whatsoever
The new renders are looking amazing, but I've noticed that the star, moon, and fish R1 novelties are in maroon in the 96 key render whereas in the kit render it's green, are these novelties actually gonna change to maroon or are they going to be green like in the current kit render?
btw, although those renders from thesiscamper are super awesome, I do think the renders from Oblotzky are more accurate in terms of color.

Does that mean GMK could actually do a full transparent double shot set?
Is there any way we can see a render on a grey compact 1800 board?..... :)

Would a standard red text return key be possible for both the numpad and the main return?
Would a standard red text return key be possible for both the numpad and the main return?
I like the idea of a maroon return key for numpad, not so sure about the regular return since we already have a maroon novelty key for that.
Shall we change the numpad return key to maroon? I don't really wanna add one because I really don't wanna bump up the pricing anymore.
In the meanwhile, I'm still waiting for the quote for revision 4. Christoph has been busy I guess. I will send him a reminder if I don't hear from him by the end of today.

Yes, please run it asap, i'm so ready for it...... my body, my mind, my money :pWhen do you suppose this will take off?

I think we are looking at late Dec. or early Jan. it depends on how well the quotation process will run in the next few days.
I'm still considering about that maroon numpad return. This should be the last change we make.

Both colors? Shouldnt add more than $1-2 (?) to price.

Hmm if it really is only $1-2 for the extra key. Would it be the same cost to add an additional maroon main modifier enter key with the text “enter”
I know we already have the mountain enter key but presumably for a few dollars more it would give more options for people that might want a more simplistic look as well.
That’s my 2 cents anyways.

I think I will add the maroon numpad return, but not the regular one because the cost is already over my expectation.
We can't keep adding keys because they just cost ~$2 per key

Seriously, please don't remove the green numpad return. I get that you don't want the price going up, but that forces anyone with a numpad to use the maroon accents. If you're going to do that you might as well remove the green arrows, remove the green novelty return, and make the regular return maroon too.Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=92644.0;attach=182466;image)
Am I the only one who thinks this set looks good without accents?
He already said he is not removing the green numpad enter.
The maroon would just be an addition.
Shall we change the numpad return key to maroon? I don't really wanna add one because I really don't wanna bump up the pricing anymore.
I'm working on the updated kit render. Maroon numpad return will be added, not replacing the green one.

Sounds great! Is this the final revision? :thumb:
This has probably been asked, but would it be worth splitting novelties into their own pack?
What's the best way to keep up to date with this drop since it won't be on Massdrop? Will everything go through this thread? I'm not on Geekhack that often

Splitting into kits with GMK will significantly increase the total price because they have a fully automated production line.
This is also the reason why the most GMK sets are all-in-one.
For ppl located in the US:
Kono store by input club has already put up a temporary page, you can join the waitlist there.
https://kono.store/products/gmk-camping
In as well. Though I thought we'd be in $150-160 range with the keys taken out? Though I guess it is a ton of new molds
So the base set is gonna be $175usd... how much would the space bar kit cost?
*pls let it be $35*

I really want to join this, but the price is pretty steep. With shipping to Canada it will be close to $200. A bit hard to swallow compared to recent GMK sets (I know, this won’t have Massdrop volume). Decisions, decisions.
So the base set is gonna be $175usd... how much would the space bar kit cost?
*pls let it be $35*
How much would the price be if the 500set is sold?maybe around 160usd?
Just curious ;D
Hope that so. If this could be on MD, maybe we can hit the 1000MOQ. :pSo the base set is gonna be $175usd... how much would the space bar kit cost?
*pls let it be $35*
should be around that price point at 100 MOQ, cheaper if we make it to 250 for the spacebar kit
I knew this project two days ago. I am a user in Taiwan. I wonder if I could join this project. It’s such a pity that I missed the SA-CAMPING. I wish I could have the chance to join this project.I think the kit is moreorless finalized now, but the group buy hasn't started yet so you should be able to join the group buy relatively soon when it happens. I don' lt know if there will be a Taiwanese proxy though.

A quick update on this project.
I got sick after spending the Christmas in Cologne, so the whole progress is slowed a little bit down.
But the kits are finalized and we have a finalized quotation from GMK.
The next is to loop all the proxies in my mail chain with GMK.
We are looking at early Jan. 2018 for the GB.
Proxies are listed as below:
US: Kono store by input club
EU: mykeyboards.eu
Asia/Taobao: KP and zfrontier
Korea: Cocobrais
Thanks for all your help and all kinds of suggestions! I wish you all happy holidays, and stay tuned for early Jan. ! ;) ;) ;)
Amazing! Will Australia be able to join through the Asia proxy to keep postage down? We always get smashed with postage down here
Can we make all the novelties from green to burgundy? they were burgundy in SA profile not sure why we changed it to green in GMKIt's already been confirmed that they won't be changed to maroon earlier this thread.
That’s sad, i didn’t notice until i compared the Base kit and the render on kono website, the novelties in the render were maroon :(Can we make all the novelties from green to burgundy? they were burgundy in SA profile not sure why we changed it to green in GMKIt's already been confirmed that they won't be changed to maroon earlier this thread.

Changed green novelty keys to maroon

I have taken a good thought about the novelty keys. I agree that the maroon novelty keys are what makes Camping.
Hence, we have changed the novelty keys back to maroon.

Is there still a maroon spacebar option?
If you have Korea proxy, I will join this set. How much do you expect for this set?
Any idea when this will run?Soon, very soon afaik at kono.store
Im in the USA and would LOVE LOVE LOVE this set.

I wonder if there would be enough people interested to run a separate GB kit with just a R2 and R3 novelty to allow them to be used as the right strip on 65/75% boards.
Based on the watster GB, I think 2 keys would only be like $5. Maybe do both colors since once the legends are done it shouldn't be so expensive which would be around $10 a kit.
I guess probably would still need a lot of people who would buy more than 1 set to actually hit moq, unless camping sells REALLY well.
I assume they are aware how good these would sell? I will maybe buy 2 full sets myself. This is one of my favorite sets ever.Any idea when this will run?

It should be up by next week. If everything goes well.
My part of job is done, it is now in the hands of the vendors.

I think once the tooling cost for novelty keys is paid. Running a set novelty keys with different rows should be considered as normal keys starting from 150 MOQ or even 100 MOQ.
you can start collecting interest, I'll be more than happy to approve the use of those toolings for the Camping novelty keys. :)

Do the legend plates work for other profiles? I wasn't sure if I would need new legend plates for the other rows or if they could reuse them as that would drop the price a decent bit i'd think. If it was just 100moq, that wouldn't be that bad. Just need like 20-30 ppl who would spend like $25. I guess it really depends how well GMK Camping sells overall.
Either way, I can totally do an IC if people are interested. I wanna run a full GMK set myself eventually, so a tiny novelty kit shouldn't be too bad.
Also, looking at the kit again, I think if it was gonna be maroon, I'd also need to add another R4 novelty. I'll have to play around with some options and see what works best.
Will there be a price drop for higher moq?
Will there be a price drop for higher moq?
On the store page it states that if enough people join it will drop $10 for the base set and $5 for the spacebars. They don't specify how many sets it takes though...
As a lot of you are aware of, the GB is live for US/EU/KR
I'm still waiting zf to launch the buy, then I'll post a GB thread with more general details about the buy.
Good luck and have fun!
