Thread needs more vendors. I wish I had $5k sitting around just to buy a few dozen sets - these will sell on ebay even with a nice mark up.

I agree, I'm really surprised there hasn't been more vendor activity for this buy.

Only 10 to go on base sets!

GMK add ons each have a minimum of 400 to go to production.

...

GMK standard: 30/400
GMK EDOX: 6/250

I just noticed this in the OP -- is this a mistake? Do both sets have a MOQ of 400?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #704 on:** Fri, 14 February 2014, 13:22:03 »

No, the EDOX kit is basically doubled up on everything so it has a lower MOQ.

1pq · « **Reply #705 on:** Fri, 14 February 2014, 14:04:34 »

Aww, I was hoping that you got the GMK MOQ lowered for both, so that we might be able to reach it for the standard set...but right now it looks like that's never going to happen :-/

Veteranos · « **Reply #706 on:** Fri, 14 February 2014, 16:41:14 »

hmm.. ok shipping internationally - arround 12-14$

Need to be made after we hit the 300, so expect at least 6-7 weeks. Just so ya aren't confused.

Sorry to be asking so many questions, but will these be the super thick ones or the standard thick?

Ordered 2 sets of "CHERRY BLACK on BLACK dyesub".

Ound · « **Reply #713 on:** Sat, 15 February 2014, 06:07:50 »

Placed an order for 1 more blank set. Might be on resale for Europeans later on, if I dont find use for it myself ( like buying a Poker II )

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #714 on:** Sat, 15 February 2014, 06:28:25 »

Yes international shipping for 1-3 set should be something like $12-$14.

Set full will be PBT Cherry thick, add on is ABS Cherry thick.

All order will send at same time, as the entire order would be shipped to me at once not half/half.

riotonthebay · « **Reply #715 on:** Sat, 15 February 2014, 08:46:39 »

Hey Ivan, I've had to change my order a few times. Sorry about that! I hope it doesn't cause you any trouble.

cmadrid · « **Reply #716 on:** Sat, 15 February 2014, 20:23:25 »

I will probably have to cancel my order too.. had a few unexpected bills since this post went up.

I am the opposite, if I can't see my keys I can't type. YES I'm old, lazy and incompetent, so I will never be able to type without watching the keyboard and at night I might as well be like Stevie Wonder........

What look cheap? The pad print? If that what you think make it look cheap then it's not even a concern since we aren't doing that.

PBTs are almost to MOQ

Everything about them looks cheap in the first image I posted. Maybe it's just a bad picture and the lighting on that image, who knows? But I've searched around for the keyboards you listed that have these keycaps and they all seem different. Like the choc mini has smooth surface, then the Neo Zelia looks like it's textured and much better quality seen here:

This just seems so bizarre to me, maybe because I'm new to mechanical keyboards and group buys. I can't grasp that you're giving a company nearly $20,000 for a product and they can't supply a sample piece of plastic to show you what you would be getting.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #722 on:** Sun, 16 February 2014, 07:47:31 »

They will be just like the above, but not pad printing and none dot windows. I was told they made new mold for PBT sometime between the old Chocs and the newer Neo, Plum 96, Choc 2013 version which may explain difference in appearances.

neunelfer · « **Reply #723 on:** Sun, 16 February 2014, 08:57:50 »

Just to confirm, the dyesub set will have the Windows 8 type logo? That's pretty much the only thing keeping me from getting the dyesubs.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #724 on:** Sun, 16 February 2014, 09:13:02 »

Perhaps I will make a few choice about the winkey... it's always such a big problem.

It should only take about a week to become fluent in touch typing. The best way to learn is by getting a set of blank keys. (;

Here here! Only real reason I got a set of blank keys, and it sure did help.

Super stoked for these caps!

fuus · « **Reply #727 on:** Sun, 16 February 2014, 15:20:35 »

I must say, a set of blank caps from Ivan's last buy has helped me no end with touch typing. I still make mistakes here and there, but non the less I'm definitely better!

tbc · « **Reply #728 on:** Sun, 16 February 2014, 17:28:39 »

there's no such thing as a reasonable 'expected learning timeline', but getting blanks honestly does help once you're past the stage of 'stubbornly pecking with two fingers'

Stevie Wonder knows what keys are where on a keyboard! ;)

He uses blanks.

It's frustrating at first when trying blanks, since you hit the wrong key a lot and have to try the others around that one until you get the right one (lots of backspacing), but it pays off in the end. You don't really have to think about it too much, your fingers learn the positions. It's quite rewarding when it starts to work out.

I found the hardest characters to remember are the shifted ones on the number keys. The rest have been pretty easy to learn.

Yeah, back down again... recent rash of order cancels.

Could there be an option for blank winkeys? The logos are off-center in your graphic. (Not to mention Win8 style)
Definitely ordering this set nonetheless.

tbc · « **Reply #739 on:** Thu, 20 February 2014, 21:57:17 »

i never understood why win logos were off center...do people ACTUALLY prefer things to be horizontally offcenter?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #740 on:** Fri, 21 February 2014, 09:31:52 »

Windows logo is left aligned, consistent with other icons shift arrow, enter arrow etc.

It seems to be a bit higher than Control and others ie. vertically offcenter.

How dark will the blanks be, say, compared to Poker II keycaps? Are they noticeably darker?

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #745 on:** Sun, 23 February 2014, 07:14:45 »

Basically should be like picture in lolkey post above, maybe a tiny bit lighter for black dyesub to show up better.

Vibex · « **Reply #746 on:** Sun, 23 February 2014, 14:10:50 »

Just grabbed myself a set of blanks. Can't wait for them. I've needed new keys for some time.

Schwarz · « **Reply #747 on:** Mon, 24 February 2014, 14:22:56 »

I just submitted my order.

I had to resubmit because I selected the printed instead of blank, I hope that was the right way to go about it.

Thanks Ivan

I guess Ivan just extends the order period. Since we are so close it's likely that we reach MOQ pretty soon.

It's not like we are sitting at 50% MOQ for months and nobody orders. I think this GB will 100% succeed!
