[IC] GMK Blue Mod Set (Final Render & Pricing Received) Going Live April 3rd!

[HoffmanMyster]

If we could do a white on lime ( is that AE? same as Ivan's green spacebars?) I'd probably order 6+ sets

Yep that's the one. I've got space bars ready and waiting too.

Regardless I'll always try to be down for one set. Also this color would work perfect with my commodore which I believe is the intention in the vintage set.

However who needs vintage when you can have lime green!!!

If this doesn't happen in a few months I'm running it

You bring up a good point about my opinion that I didn't think about until now.

I will buy one of these no matter what, but I would buy 2 or 3 lime sets.

[bueller]

Yeah I'd definitely buy two lime sets, I want to do a lime bottom row on a 60% and use a full set on my Filco.

[bueller]

One thing I do really like about this set is the keys available, seems like a good mixture of the bare essentials with some extra keys thrown in.

[Wildcard]

Yeah I'd definitely buy two lime sets, I want to do a lime bottom row on a 60% and use a full set on my Filco.

I just wish EK would have offered full set of GMK lime green mods and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

[FrostyToast]

I like lime more.
But maybe pale green would be more unique.

Tell me about it. So close, they only had to add a menu, windows, caps, tab and backspace. I've actually got all the ones they do offer but it looks **** without at least a full bottom row.

[cooldiscretion]

I'm a huge fan of the color combo in the mod pack mockup.  Not so much lime though.  I guess mainly because lime is quite
an extreme color and the other is very subtle.  I'll definitely be in for a pack.  And, hopefully Photekq's beige GB will start soon too.

[ideus]

Have you ever considered the green color used in Ivan's Dolch color pack? but with black legends maybe?

[nubbinator]

Have you ever considered the green color used in Ivan's Dolch color pack? but with black legends maybe?

The color in the render was off in Ivan's color pack. The color is UN6037 which is the same color as the Cyan in the CYMK and CMYW sets.

[renne]

wait, where is the esc

There is a separate escape pack. He didn't send the mockups for it

great! cause I do want a matching-colored esc. but it'll be better if I can only buy the matching-colored one, not a ton of esc(s).

There's only 3, so it will only be a few dollars

oh, 3 is fine. thank you! I'll purchase 1 or 2 set(s) depending on the final price.

[billnye]

Have you ever considered the green color used in Ivan's Dolch color pack? but with black legends maybe?

Probably not. I don't think that will match Classic Beige well.

The main intention of this set is to match Classic Beige. I will post the other green mockups when I get them. I agree with you guys that white on lime looks quite nice, but this group buy won't be that. I will keep it in mind for a later group buy.

From the initial mockup, the 1800 caps (r1 del/end/pg dn) and all alt gr caps are being dropped. Also, the control caps will have the "control" legend instead of "ctrl".

Keep in mind that caps in real life look different than the mockups.

Awesome, if it was the colour from the Dolch GB I've have the pass on this. 
The teal looks great with Dolch, but not with Biege.

I agree with your opinion on colors, regarding the caps that you are going to drop I'd prefer to have them, but again, I'd prefer to get the GB reaching its MoQ over everything else, so I am in all the way, I think Ivan's GB will still be a far more larger modifiers set with language alternatives and all, and while I hope both do well, I think this one has more possibilities because of price, just be sure to choose the color that best matches available beiges - there are over a dozen variants -, and if possible black Cherry sets.

If price is too high, the next thing to get axed is B profile. IMO, cherry sets are meant to be used with A profile. Most group buys before this have had B, but I would like to see more people creating A profile sets.

Also, HHKB kit will always be staying. Don't worry about that support being cut.

I think black on lime (AE) would look quite good!  I also think you should consider white on N7 for a future GB.

It warms my heart to see such stalwart support for HHKB.

3B? Nope. My least favorite color they offer.

It's the darker of the greens here.

Are these the same as the dark green keys on a WEY board?  I kind of prefer the lighter, pale ones.   :-X

Agreed. The lighter green is much more pleasing IMO. just my .02

[billnye]

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of 3b either.

Waiting on mockups in all green colors to make the final calls.

I'm interested in both the lighter green and the darker green in that picture.

I believe they are the same green.

[nubbinator]

I'll just post these side by sides again for people to see the colors.  I still think 3B goes the best with the greatest number of sets and N7 comes second.

[bueller]

While I'd agree that it's definitely a good match for Classic Beige I just don't like the shades of N7 and 3B, they remind me of wallpaper.

[korrelate]

Absolutely Yes Please!

Could we please, please, please have some blank 1.25u R4 Winkeys?
Maybe a couple of 1u R4s as well?

Some of us just can't stand logos (particularly windows logos - of any variety - they just don't belong on my custom keyboard).


Cheers,

K

[billnye]

I received the revised mockup. As of now, the cost of the set is roughly $70. Let me know if that price is ok for you guys, or if I need to work to further cut down the price

Also, important to note, I am still getting mockups done for other colors, I just need to finalize the caps and legends first

Hey Korrelate!

I'm not planning on adding any blank right now. Unfortunately you're in the minority with that opinion, and I'm trying to keep prices as low as possible.

[ideus]

I received the revised mockup. As of now, the cost of the set is 54.39€ (roughly $63 USD). Let me know if that price is ok for you guys, or if I need to work to further cut down the price

Show Image

Also, important to note, I am still getting mockups done for other colors, I just need to finalize the caps and legends first ^-^

The price is acceptable, there is a good balance of basic keys and some other ones, I just wonder if some may need a 1.25u Fn Key though. And the color...well just not sure about it, so the other options you mentioned may be needed to get a final go from the interested parties.

Yea, I'm not a big fan of the color either.

I asked for a final change in the legends, add "Enter" text as well as the icon to the ISO enter. I figured it would make sense to make the ISO caps US ISO since all the other caps are like that :blank:

The arrow with the legend looks classic, good move. What are the applications of the 1u windows keys in row 5 profile? I have seen row 5 only in win key less keyboards, so it does not make sense to me. (Edit) I think I got my own answer, the HHKB layout may be the culprit.

I'm hoping to fix unfortunate situations such as this:

Some WKL boards don't have blockers, so if they want to use A profile, I want to make sure they're covered!

In case of placing an order I will add one surprise key for every ordered set.

Mystery keys straight from GMK! I'm pretty excited to see what that turns out to be

Seems a bit expensive to me. It might suffer from the same issue that Ivan is having with his 85|15 mod pack. I think of you can get something that is around $60 with shipping to most people you have a winner. $70 before shipping is too much in my opinion for just mods :/

I can work to cut down a few if a few other people feel this way. Also, keep in mind it isn't just mods, it's meant for full TKL compatibility. Just a mods set could be much cheaper, but I want to do something new.

I took out 1800 support because it wasn't full and adds a lot of keys. Sorry

Yeah I guess just wait to see what other people say but I just want to be sure that we don't get stuck with low numbers due to a high price. Because that is what is holding up Ivan in his current GMK GB, and that is a classic beige which is very useful.

I could have phrased that a little better. What I meant is that how colors look in mockups is not always true to how they will look in real life due to how the artist uses lighting in the 3D rendering program.

I don't really appreciate you coming in just to scrutinize part of something that I said.

You guys are way too serious for me good luck finding 250 people to buy these caps I won't be participating.

I thought it was funny that anyone would really think the mockups from GMK are very accurate, I mean look at the one they did for dolch with the color pack, it is awful.

And if I was scrutinizing I would say green looks like butt and do that many people like classic beige?

Sorry ray, but if you don't want your posts to be misinterpreted then you shouldn't talk with gifs. It was very unclear what you were trying to say.
