GMK 85|15 groupbuy (CANCELLED)

[ideus]

If people would give up the base set and pour half of those orders into the modpack, then we can make it happen!

Perhaps some of them need a reminder that this group buy is still going on? Cause I know myself, sometimes I don't really check the progress of a group buy until it's over.

Asking people that needs a full set to buy a modifiers set instead, does not make sense, some may have some use for a mod one, but not all. No matter how much we would like to get the mod set to reach MoQ.

[IvanIvanovich]

Most people that order full set order a mod pack too anyway. I don't know... unlikely if it happen but if we can get to 200 mod pack I might be able to cover most the rest of the 50 left.

[azhdar]

Added a mod pack to my order.

[LechnerDE]

Yeah I think we should let this go, it's clearly not gonna happen.

I think it was a really bad timing Too many GMK GB's lately not enough money for all of them

I don't think that was the main reason.

This set is just too extravagant for the masses. I mean look at the discussion about the win key in the Triumph Adler Interest Check. Such details costs orders!

This set just has too many of those details:  The F-Keys, text only legends, etc.

I think most people want a standard ANSI set with Icon + Text legends in a nice color scheme. That's why Hyperfuse is a huge success and that's why the Classic Beige and the Triumph Adler sets will most likely make it.

Understandable but if I remember correctly, Ivan was trying to do something a little out of the box and never seen before. Unfortunately it didn't work 

[IvanIvanovich]

Indeed, I wanted to do stuff that probably hasn't been made in 25-30 years that is really hard to find. Unfortunately not enough people seem to appreciate it. Next time will be back to standard US layout based set with same key count and price as this one.

[quochung1989]

Yes. Hope we go to CMYK.

[Cafiend]

I was really looking forward to this. But thanks a bunch for giving it a shot Ivan!

Your drive to look for some unique examples of fine key sets is admirable. However, the market rules on what could be actually done. And the market demands common standard layouts.

I'm ready for the RGBY with Black letters

[ideus]

I'm ready for the RGBY with Black letters

It was RGBY legends on black key caps.

Oh? That might be interesting as well! I'd definitely be 100% down for RGBY with Black legends, since we haven't had a set of those (to pair up with BoW sets), although RGBY legends on Black would pair up nicely with WoB.

[IvanIvanovich]

Sorry, but it will be CMY legends on black keycaps next no RGB.
Since this one is likely to die, I will be starting new in the next weeks. I know I previously said anything that is above MOQ will go... but I don't want to do spacebar only now and then offer spacebar again next time (specific colors black, cyan, magenta, yellow) so... if nothing else makes it like the MODs pack then this whole thing will be cancelled.

Those are great colors as well.

Fair enough 

As always I will order one of everything from your next GMK GB

Primed to add my order for CMYonK.

[slickmamba]

We might want to space these out more. When are photekq and bill planning their GMK buys?

That's a shame but completely understandable. And it might give you some breathing room with the other GBs that are still running.
Looking forward to seeing mockups of CMY on blacK.
... and new colours for the spacebars of course.

If those mods have similar keys as the last few CMY mod packs (CMYK and CMYW) they should be very interesting additions for people that have Cherry WoB G81 sets that lack usable keys for the bottom rows.

[SL89]

Order placed, if only to help numbers. And i bumped the thread on DT. I'm really keen on this set and Photekq's similar one. I hope one of them hits MOQ.

Gah, the perils of mobile 

[IvanIvanovich]

Since it doesn't look like any of the kits are going to make the MOQ, I will be cancelling this whole thing. Since I will be turning around to start a new different buy in the next weeks I will wait to do the spacebars too along with the new offerings.
Thanks for your support on trying to make this happen. I hope you will support the next one as well which will be cyan/magenta on black keys full set US layout, Spanish sub layout side printed. CMYKv2 color legends on black keys. White/black bare essentials patch kit for making compatible existing common sets from MY7000/MY8000/11900/1800/etc. Spacebars in black, cyan, magenta and yellow.

Sounds good 

I will definitely participate again

How we could not support your ideas Ivan. All the way with you.

Can you add  White spacebar?

Thanks everyone for ruining 2015.
