Title: [GB] GMK Minimal 2 - Extras In Stock Now
Post by: janglad on Sun, 02 August 2020, 12:17:11
Hey everyone!

In stock extras available here (https://qoda.store/products/gmk-minimal-2?variant=37613870907541)

With aftermarket prices for GMK Minimal soaring to well over 200% Ryan/Quaddepo and I felt it was time to offer you this classic again, better than ever! GMK Minimal 2 keeps all the things that made GMK Minimal great while adding new options we think you'll love!

Buy it here

I'm pleased to say we're once again working with these amazing vendors you've come to love from previous GBs. We've also added Deskhero for the Canadians among us! GMK Minimal will be available until September 2nd. Estimated shipping is Q2 2021.


Design

(https://i.imgur.com/ChNV7CE.jpg)

GMK Minimal 2 keeps all that elements that made GMK Minimal so popular: modern text mods, a clean black on white colourway and affordable kit design. The white used is a perfect balance between the very bright WS2 and "old school" beige of CP, it also makes for a perfect matching to e-white boards! In addition to this we’ve also added the option for some alternate accents and used the new centred arrows to keep consistent with the centred text mods, more of which below!

Kit design

Standard

This is the bread and butter of any GMK set. The standard kits has compatibility for the all the most popular layouts in the community.

Numbers

Numbers adds compatibility for layouts with a numpad. It also includes the keys needed to outfit a 1800 style layout.

Addition

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/9226/2293/products/Kit_Addition_f704fa78-b43e-4e66-93ce-aa1cd2147c22.jpg?v=1668016128&width=2890)

Addition adds options for a OS modified bottom row, 60%s with  arrows through the 2u shift, 660 layouts with the extra 2.25u shift, full ISO UK support and some options for different legends in the 65% and caps lock area.

Obscure

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/9226/2293/products/Kit_Obscure_71e873f5-0fac-4c0d-be4e-391c836714b2.jpg?v=1668016128&width=2890)

Obscure adds support for a wide variety of 40% keyboards, including ortholinear ones and Minivan type layouts. Included are the necessary modifiers and spacebars ranging from 1u to 3u. This kit also includes a second b key and the needed spacebars for split/ergonomic keyboards like the TGR Alice.

Command

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/9226/2293/products/Kit_Command_801d35a3-ad0f-4b3a-864a-f7e40328da9b.jpg?v=1668016128&width=2890)

Command is aimed at Mac users by adding correct legends for Command and Option keys.

Colour

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/9226/2293/products/Kit_Colour.jpg?v=1668016128&width=2890)

People have always loved adding accents to GMK Minimal, so this time around we decided to offer them right in the GB! The Colour kit includes a fresh take on the classic RGB mods, a Dixie X and OG style arrows.

Mono

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/9226/2293/products/Kit_Mono.jpg?v=1668016128&width=2890)

For those of you who really want to take the minimal theme to the ultimate level. As the name suggest mono strips all secondary legends from the keys giving your board a very appealing clean look.

Norde

(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0465/9226/2293/products/Kit_Norde_20ddab61-3c5e-42ed-a41e-c52a35f98008.jpg?v=1668016128&width=2890)

This kit adds compatibility for ISO NO, SE, FL, DK, DE layouts. The kits includes a 125u Shift and ISO Enter meaning this is a one stop shop for all things Norde!

RAMA caps

Of course we couldn't launch this set without bringing back the Black X RAMA cap. This keycap is milled from a solid piece of brass and PVD coated to a flawless shiny finish. It features RAMA's X design which is filled in with enamel.

In addition to that we also decided to continue on the more playful trend the Colour accents introduced to this set by designing 3 new RAMA caps. These too are milled out of a single block of aluminium and e-coated for a durable finish. The caps feature simple, organic shapes filled in with enamel colour matched to the vivid accent colours found in the Colour kit.

Are projected sales for GMK Minimal 2 low?

I can't help but feel a bit saddened that the base kit is the same $99.99 but has 6 less keys than round 1.

Combination of price hike in international shipping due to Covid making GMK to vendor shipping a lot more expensive and USD:EUR continuing to drop (like a 5-6% drop since GMK MoDo 2 happened). FYI the base kit is about $10 cheaper in the EU compared to MoDo 2.

Wait I thought the bottom row of the Addition kit has a 1u 'Alt' , 2 1.5u 'Super' and 1.5u 'Function' keys? Am I wrong? Might need to change my order if this is not real.

Numbers are a bit all over the place as these include numbers from both day mostly day 2 but also day 1 and 3. I didn't get day 1 numbers from all vendors but I'd estimate we sold about 400 Standard kits on day 1!

* Standard: 510
* Addition: 54
* Numbers: 81
* Colour: 242
* Mono: 57
* Command: 94
* Obscure: 109
* Norde: 14

Numbers are looking amazing so far, thanks for all the support!

Also interesting side note, the ratio of Norde:Addition is even higher atm than with MoDo in the EU. It's over 2:1 right now, probably even more considering people will also buy Addition for keys other than ISO UK. I thought this might have been a one time thing with MoDo cause Norde was such a good deal there but I guess we always overestimated ISO UK users/underestimated Norde users.

I am a user of NorDe and in this round also a buyer. I am grateful that you have chosen to include Norde even though numbers are always low.

I would never call these renders.  Because of my graphing method, the images leave much to be desired.  Some look better than others due color interaction.

Its really weird that the international community doesnt hop on the intl-kit. Did all you guys already give up on the correct legends on your ANSI-boards? :-(

Man, i'm sooo happy i got these. It's always cheaper in ilumkb! <3

Got base + Colors. I'd like to get Rama too, but i'm also planning to get GMK Posh, KAT Mizu and SA Bliss, i had to pass on Rama. Sucks to have limited budget.  :(

Grats on the GB.  :thumb:

Hey everyone

We got the colour samples in! At first glance they were pretty close but we have decided to try and tweak the red and blue somewhat making the red a tad redder and more saturated and the blue lighter. Keep in mind colours change based on lighting conditions and such but I tried to portray them accurately in the pictures below (also smol Dharma leek)

No, there was GMK Bleached last year which was WS2 with icon mods and there was an IC for GMK Paper some years ago which was WS1 with icon mods but the GB never happened as far as I know.

Personally I dig the R1 samples. Just hope that R2 samples won’t cause additional delay. I guess this GB is waiting in some sort of production queue at GMK

That depends on the vendor.
Some vendors do ship Rama-only/deskmat-only orders before the rest of the GB items arrive and others ship once they receive everything that was part of the group buy.

Just confirmed with Omnitype specifically and they said they would! AFAIK most vendors do ship out RAMA/Deskmat only orders ahead of GB.

No. Check Omnitype’s website for progress, they recently received more colour samples and it’s not going to ship from GMK until after all the other sets that ran before it. Pono ran in July 2020 and is currently scheduled to ship in July, and given this ran in August it’ll come after that.

Currently scheduled for August/September delivery, but color matching is still going on, so my own realistic estimate is end of the year.

When this set ran, GMK sets weren't taking 1.5 to 2 years to deliver. The excessive delays are a relatively new thing. Fwiw, I have stopped joining GMK gbs due to the delays.

I think every white Rama is using the same white. They use colors that are somewhat close but never really match. (Unless its like black maybe)
The infills are most times pretty accurate though.
