That blue is sick, definitely getting some.

[badcop]

Nice find. Gmk is the stuff.

[Photekq]

No 1.5 mods?

[Dubsgalore]

nice eyes tintin

[tsangan]

No 1.5 mods?

EK doesn't sell winkeyless keyboards so I'm guessing its less likely for them to carry something you can't use on their boards

Sad since I would love some of those but no 1800 shift and 1.5x mods I can't really use them

[tp4tissue]

kinda weak since they don't "go into" any existing sets smoothly.. You'd still be missing alt.

[yearn4]

aww no blue ctrl key

[UniClown]

The red Esc is $1.50 cheaper than Sherry's.

[Toad1677]

These look cool. Wish they had alt keys

[IvanIvanovich]

Colors look familiar... great minds think alike apparently!

Ah right. That does make sense. Still, I imagine he'd sell quite a lot of the 1.5 mods.

[guilleguillaume]

I miss some Alt keys but I think I'm getting them all   

EDIT: Ordered everything but the Control keys because I have no use for them.

[keymaster]

I ordered the blue WASD keys to go along with my Dolch set

[metafour]

The Shift and Control combo seems a bit weird to me. I really hope they do a run of at least Alt keys too.

They've just updated the store with Enter, Alt and Control keys that were missing from the sets.

Now I want them all and have to order again but I hope Brian can combine shipping from both orders

Those are now awesome sets to have.

[The_Ed]

What bothers me is that the Control is Ctrl... That legend is only to be used on 1x keys...

[ImperfectLink]

Damn that blue is nice.

[The_Beast]

They look pretty legit. Might pick up the WASD and arrow keys. The shift and controls are cool, but no 1.5s and no alts are kind of a deal breaker

They have WASD, Arrows, Enter, Shift, Ctrl, and Alt in all 4 colors...

They must have just added the alts, they weren't there before. Same with the enter

[rowdy]

RGB with white legends - what I seek!

And yellow too

SHame there are no Win keys, or a menu key to round the set off.

[alaricljs]

Given the way things have been going that might show up before the night is over.

[rowdy]

Here's hoping ...

[badcop]

no backspace either.   

[VesperSAINT]

So are these thicker (thick as thick PBT's) than standard ABS DS ? If so, I'm in for Green Shift keys, Red Control keys, and Blue Alt keys!

[CPTBadAss]

What do you mean by "standard"? These are the GMK doubleshots, so Cherry molds and Cherry thickness. Same as the modifier buy from Ivan's last GMK Purple GB.

Vesper, my man, they are the highest quality ABS caps you can find anywhere on this fine earth. They are made by GMK - top German scientists who are purveyors of the very finest of all keycaps. The moulds that produce these keycaps are straight from the Cherry factories. They are infused with the same magical aura that all original Cherry keycaps are. If you do not purchase these then a German witch doctor will curse you for your failure to understand just how amazing these keycaps are.

TL;DR : Buy them. They're the thickest doubleshot ABS caps you can find.

[calavera]

Pretty colors. Too bad I can't use any of it.

[Sifo]

Ye I ordered a blue WASD set for the hell of it

Thank you for the information, bro's! I shall buy them now!

UGH! Question is if I buy more than those 3 itemsssssssss! I kind of wish the yellow caps had white legends. I also kind of wish there was a Green Esc key

[calavera]

I bought the red set for the hell of it.

[Photoelectric]

Mmm these are good looking!  I'll probably get a full set of the blue modifiers and arrow keys!  These should be the same profile as thick PBT, right?  Both Cherry.  Do you think these will look fine with thick PBT sets, given the difference in surface textures?

[calavera]

You mean cherry PBT Dye subs?

[Photoelectric]

I mean "IMSTO" thick PBTs, which are cherry profile.  IvanIvanovich's current GB (Round2) has close-to-Cherry legends and I'm in for 2 sets... just wondering how these modifiers will look with those caps (assuming I get a color match and all).

[calavera]

IMSTO pbt's are as thick as cherry dye subs. Both are thicker than GMK/cherry DS.

[Photoelectric]

That was not my question at all   But I'm getting those keys anyway.

[alosec]

I'm confused, are they the same height as Filco keycaps or are they lower?

[calavera]

Oh my bad haha I thought you were asking thickness questions. I see you meant profile. lol

[keymaster]

I'm confused, are they the same height as Filco keycaps or are they lower?

No. Filco has OEM height. These are Cherry profile height, which are shorter than OEM height.

[Photoelectric]

Oh my bad haha I thought you were asking thickness questions. I see you meant profile. lol

It was about keycap texture difference   I got all the blue caps now, minus WASD.  We'll see when they get here!

[Wildcard]

Assuming the MOQ is 400 or so for GMK sets, I can imagine these sets will be here for awhile?

[VesperSAINT]

Only 400 or so? I assumed it'd be a lot higher than that. I guess I should buy soon. I just haven't checked out yet because I don't know if I want to add anything else to my order... save on shipping

[Photoelectric]

$3.50 shipping was nice!

[samwisekoi]

If only they had win/menu/blanks since they are only carrying 1.25 ctrl and alt.  That means every buyer of these will need three additional mods and a spacebar OR live with a mixed-height bottom row.

Blank yellows would have been great, since all other colors have white legends.

Nevertheless, can't escape buying some...

You are correct, I'm looking at the sets now and find that to be a little disappointing. Maybe more to come?

I find it funny that over a year ago I told myself I would start spending less on MX to put enough aside for a uniform RF 45g, yet I've spent multiples more on MX stuff. Either I have poor self control (possible) or we just keep finding too many great things for MX.

Blank Yellow mods would have been awesome because all the other keys have White legends, but I agree ~ This is just too awesome to pass up.

[yearn4]

we need a full touch caps lock

[Photoelectric]

Now if only there were a "sea blue" on white counterpart for the rest of the keys!

[VesperSAINT]

Just bought Blue Alts, Red Ctrls, Green Shifts, and a Yellow Enter key. I can't wait to get my first GMK keys
