GMK can do Shift 2x ? I am using g80-11800 so i need it. If you can, you 'll do keyset for G80-11800? Why am I request that? Because I suppose that is special keyboard :) And maybe more people is using & looking keycaps double shot for it

I think they have 2x shift... but I am not adding anything more on this buy. Maybe next time it can be included if enough people want it.

Oh... I missed the part about 6unit. GMK told me they don't have that, Cherry kept it.

Maybe it's a bit premature of me but I'm planning for this http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54942.0 on my Topre boards and seeing how I could make it work with existing group buys.

Dolch sets will always cause a ruckus when a GB comes up, they're one of if not the most popular Cherry sets. It's just a shame that they launched their set just as we got GMK's MOQ down to 250, I have a feeling we lost a lot of orders to their GB.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Pretty much this.  I have a couple OG Dolch sets that I'm perfectly happy with, thanks to my abundance of keyboards with 1.75x shifts.  I really want something different and I'm kinda sad that this isn't more popular than it is.

Indeed there is such huge potential on a set this neutral. It will work well with any white on X color or any X color on N9 anything that exists (like Skidata) or that could be done in the future.
If it can get to production both I think it would be fun to mix match it with my Skidata set... orange, blue and white legends :))

Yes, that is the problem here convincing noobs why your set is desirable.  They are use to seeing SP bright colours with special designed icons and what not, yet they place your set into the boring column.  Only us oldies see the great potential of your key-set which the younger ones won't.

Hate to see this fall over towards the deadline but would really hate to see this carrying on till Xmas 2014 for a resolution.  Pity another brilliant Ivan GMK wonder being ignored by the ignorant here on Geekhack.

Yeah, I also feel there is no risk involved in buying a 2nd set and then resell it later for the same price or even a little profit, but I don't think everybody can afford to double his order...

Always get involved with more GMK Group Buys because the outcome is either they're dropped and you lose nothing or they come through with the numbers and you finally get some awesome key-sets from Germany  :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: .

Personally I think it's the mono scheme that's holding us back. I can see exactly what Ivan was going for as this set would be great for mixing and matching but for people who don't already have GMK stuff it's probably less attractive. The Dolch set killed us as well.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Agreed, it would be better if we stick to the original idea, a dark dolch set which has dark grey alpha base and black mod, the mono tone is way less attractive, and not that much people realize the value of the mix-match things in the set...

I'm becoming so depressed yet with another doomed GMK Group Buy  >:( >:( >:( >:( .

What the hell is going on here, every time we try to reach for the stars on a Group Buy we end up eating our shorts in humiliation.  No key-sets for us, from Germany  :'( .

Makes you want to strip a pole cat and shove it down your pants for some serious wake up call on any GMK buy ins....... Is there something we are doing that always delivers cow patties into our faces here? 

Why is it that grabbing some decent Cherry Key-caps is so indecently difficult to achieve?

Economy and markets rule. The other GMK set got more people and the price of this one looks a little step for a monochromatic, but of course its pricing is just right considering the number of caps included. I was interested in a mods set in the beginning but it was dropped.

Right there with you man, I've got 3 full GMK sets now and it's still not enough! I think with the right colour scheme and the right timing it shouldn't be hard to do though.

I feel pretty bad that Ivan negotiates a lower MOQ and his set is the one that doesn't actually make it, while the Dolch GB(s) does.

Has this hit Korean forums in it's latest configuration and price?
Should we create a sound comparison of thick GMK vs standard SP keys and upvote on reddit for good measure?

Seriously, I so much want this to happen. I could even separate mods/alnum and create two nice setups with what I already have D:
I'd even +1 my order and resell it later if that helps in the end.

Also, is that deadline fixed or do you intend to give this time to find more acceptance?

South Koreans hate Americans and anyone from there gets next to no acknowledgement.  Even us lot (aussie-convicts) get no recognition so I wouldn't worry about it.  They have their own unique world planned out in that region and are happy never to share or invite anyone into it.

I know this Group Buy looks like aborting but at least you tried Ivan and no one can accuse you for doing anything less.  Just the power of SP is so GREAT and it's like trying to paddle out against a tidal wave of popularity.  You just can't win for now.  Maybe in the future the noobs will want to try some GMK goodness but currently there is little taste for it here at this time.

I know but convincing others here on Geekhack is the MOST difficult part of this.  Most just won't listen and they get hypnotized with any knew colour-way that presents itself in a DCS format.

They still think that SP's DCS is CHERRY profile  :'( .  What can you do with such ignorance......  ::) ?

I know that special key that lures them in, but unfortunately GMK is for adults ONLY.  I suppose it's the way SP has successfully positioned themselves as a children's key-set manufacturer.  They are not even going to try and compete with the original Cherry manufacturers because they can't but they can offer numerous colours and low MOQ's to get them in.

It's like dangling a chocolate iced donut in front of a starving kid and expecting them to ignore it......
