[IC] GMK Blue Mod Set (Final Render & Pricing Received) Going Live April 3rd!

[radio_killah]

This won't be launching for about a month.

The package with CMYW is supposed to be coming at the end of this month, and I am hoping to get all those packages out in about a week. I want to get CMYW completely done before I start another group buy.

ETA: February 6th

[Wildcard]

Can I also suggest a blank 1.0 B profile, this can go next to the small shift on some layouts. I'm personally hoping for a lime set with white modifiers to come out eventually.

[dante]

The KBT Race 2 has a wierd layout; would you have enough keys to flesh this out?

[ideus]

There are no keys for the marked spots, but I do not know if demand for this particular board may reach 250 MoQ. Thus, I would not suggest to include such keys as part of the main set, otherwise they may get its price up unnecessarily for most of the interested parties, at the end they may be just leftovers for most of us.

Sorry for the poor quality draft.

Not likely, sorry. I think the list of caps is getting close to complete. I would love for this set to be under $50.

That certainly sounds like music to my wallet.  :thumb:

If you're OK with a few keys having either the wrong profile or wrong legend that would work.

[tjweir]

$50? I am in.

Woo.

Still waiting on an email back from GMK. Dang Euros going on vacation for months at a time )

They may be lucky?!. I was in a corporation that shut down its entire European division because of high labor costs associated with short working hours, long vacations, multiple fringe benefits and high wages.

[DanielT]

I like this color, reminds me of Boba Fett's suit 

Expect an answer from GMK starting with Monday, like any decent West European company they don't rush to work on the first week of the year.

[Bromono]

I would definitely purchase a set

When a mod pack costs as much as a full GMK set or even 80% as much, it's too much.

The quotes they give are actually quite high for mod sets. However, our goal going forward is to provide sets to you guys as affordable as possible.

That's actually a very good point.

I wonder what this exact Mod Pack would cost in a popular color scheme that would look good with the classic cherry black on beige set you could get for cheap on Ebay:



Sure this kit doesn't support any fancy custom board, but most of us have at least one standard board like a Filco, Ducky or Kul to use it on.

It might be worth trying 

[ideus]

Just keep the kits splitted to allow people to choose only what they need or want, I am pretty sure at least some of them, a moogle like maybe, will reach MOQ, the issue other current GMK GB is suffering is that its MOD set is just too expensive.

I don't really know where to post this, so why not here?

Does anyone remember a few months ago a Chinese member claiming he bought 250 sets of gmk Olivetti and red alert? Well, he wasn't joking!





Looks pretty good except for wrong legend on insert and delete! I'm going to get a red alert set for my Corsa

[LechnerDE]

Oh, very nice!

Can you PM me link for ordering pls?

Yea he is this guy named "neone". He has the most insane cherry collection I've ever seen. He has some posts at DT.

I heard IMSTO was going to sell them on GH. DON'T quote me on that.

I think I do. His name is neone23 on desthority. I messaged him a while ago about something, and he responded with: Bro I bought 250 GMK Olivetti and another 250 in color red.

[radio_killah]

The keys supposedly come in at the end of the month. When distribution/sales happen after that is beyond me.

He is building a keyboard with only nixdorf white switches- the ones in the spacebar. That is crazy.

[jonathanyu]

then i think my gmk olivetti gb will never reach the moq.. maybe i will just buy 250 of a profile bottom row, F5-F8, insert, and delete to make that set a little bit closer to the original one..

It really irks me that he almost did the legends right, but left out those few small details. But, who knows, maybe it will sell out in China before it gets here. Don't cross it out completely!

You could do that or you could make it so you have a fully comprehensive that allows full compatibility, OR maybe do a small compatibility mod pack for Olivetti.

Thanks for the info! That's quite a steep price. If it had perfect legends I would buy it, but since it doesn't I will likely pass.

At that price, without shipping included I would rather just support Jonathanyu's GB which will probably have better compatibility and hopefully be without a huge markup..

I thought this thread was an interest check for a modifiers set, now it is populated with other totally unrelated ones? I am confused now.

I just posted this here because I didn't want to make a new thread. Just letting people know this set is out there! This thread is still for the green mod set

[IvanIvanovich]

I hope that is wrong price on those full set... $185 is way too much, even my sets with lot of additional key is less.

This mod is more & more great. Thanks for added 1.5 mod with B profile

Just waiting on GMK for mockups now.

Also, I asked for an ETA on cmyw, so hopefully that is coming soon! Once I receive the caps, I am to get all of the US packages out one weekend and then international the next.

Any idea how he got the low MOQ for the windowed, stepped Caps? 
I'm always hopeful that GMK group buys will include them, but last I read, the MOQ was 400.
I could be wrong.

Back on topic, I hope this happens!

They have allowed them with MOQ of 250 if you have multiple windowed caps I believe.

Yeah. It seems your plan is very advantage. Finish CMYW soon & wait mockups to run Green mod haha
Hope there isn't any problem on road.

But I seems don't like windowed caps because it's not double shot caps while alsmost others is DS caps Sorry to tjweir but that is only personal idea
