[IC] GMK alphas €49.5/set

[slot demon]

Add an International/NORDE kit and I'm in.

Getting just alphas is a great idea though. I have so many modifier kits just not enough alphas

This.

An international addon is a thing that I really want to add.

[Giorgio]

I need this. Voted for olivetti and soware 

thanks :-)

This looks great but for the love of God don't waste it on a boring combo like grey on beige. Do something fun like MG1 on AE.

doing something fun was my first idea.... but nobody joined me :-(

GMK Watermelon?

I think it could be a disaster, better do white on MG1 + white on AE, if one wants a watermelon set

Tho, I can't even imagine how MG1 on AE would look, would the contrast be low? It's hard to imagine

Sorry, I meant "something fun", but not that combo 

[KHAANNN]

For fun, I think variable legend colouring could be interesting, for the regular ANSI layout, the top row could be blue, []{}|\ could be orange ;:'" could be red, <>?,./ could be yellow, QWERT...NM could be green, or further mixed colors

I obviously made up the colors, but this could be fun, just a wild idea

However, I personally found orange on white a bit boring (At least initially, now, maybe not so much, but it's still extremely risky)

Is there a final render for the set layout?

The final render will be posted by the group buy leader very soon.

Isn't that you?

As others I thought that you were the group buy leader; but, I remember a mention of some other individual. Thank you for the feedback.

I've contacted a trusted geekhack member who will run this gb. Since in the past there have been some proplems of reliability, I decided that a proven group buy leader was the right person to run it.

That makes sense. I just wonder how shipping costs will be affected.

[Giorgio]

One month ago, I found a gh member who had run previously some group buys. But his commitment ceased since he has to run other group buys.
I think that after the numerous scams there can't be anymore a successful group buy run by an unproven member, so I'm asking if there's any of you interested in running this.

poll results

[KHAANNN]

We can ask Originative to run it, 2B seems to have performed really well even though the kle render doesn't to it justice

Ok! I'll wait a couple of days, and if none comes forward, we can contact them. 

[KHAANNN]

If we end up deciding on 2B, it might be a good idea to wait until April for this: https://www.originativeco.com/products/honeywell - the 2B Modifiers might give an idea for the 2B Alphas - From the renders, 2B doesn't look like a nice shade of grey, it looks a bit dead/cheap - I suspect this won't be the case with actual keycaps

[ideus]

Dumb question: Why it would be 2b if Soware was the winner of the poll?

Given the investment in time and money, the color will be decided by the person who will run the gb. I don't own this set more that the people that have commented on this thread.
In the end there are three top combinations: soware, blue font on grey/white, and white font on grey.

Of course.

[oatmicro]

good to see soware won the poll but sadly it didn't come with full set.

GMK Soware is my dream 

[ideus]

Are there updates on this? Someone has to make this a reality.

[Dyaems]

im down with soware alphas

[KHAANNN]

They will exist soon: https://www.keyclack.com/product/gb-gmk-soware/ (Proxied from a China GB)

It is very kind of you sharing the link. But I just need an alpha set, however, the full one is very tempting.

[KHAANNN]

There's always the "first" boost for any GB, and with this Soware GB, that boost is lost, sadly their alphas are pretty bare, so they kind of ruined the soware alpha colourway a bit from this aspect (also have side prints)

It seems to be a GB for the original GMK crowd, rather than the next generation

[Dyaems]

i only like the alphas, not really fond of that RGBYO mods. im going to use the alphas to pair with a different modifiers so making a soware alphas gb would be nice

[Giorgio]

Sorry for the long delay. The interest check, upon my request, was immediately adopted by Originative 
It will be run soon (tm).

I will probably add a 1.25u R4 and a 1u R4, since most modifiers set don't include that!

[ideus]

Exactly the keys that I need to pair with some mods that are already on hand. I just hope the pricing is in a good range, not an outrageous one.

Originative pricing is usually a bit high lately, especially post-GB pricing, pre-GB it's still at the high end of the reasonable pricing spectrum

[Potatoes]

Damn, where can I get something like this with a color similar to n16 as the legends?

Looks good.

[Dyaems]

2m on 2b? awwww... how about N5 for legends? or are there any keyset has that colorway? (N5 on 2B)

Right. It is what concerns me a bit. I just hope that being this an alpha only set that pricing is more into reasonable range of the price spectrum.

Keeping a low pricing is the only way to make this successful! I will earn nothing  from this set, so maybe we will save 1$ for each order

You are a good GH´s citizen.

[KHAANNN]

I think you should at least get one set out of charge tho

I don't think +$1 would matter much
