Sorry about that confusion. Yes the set is $42 it has paypal fees already tacked on so that you just need to worry about shipping. I will have Ghostjuggernaut fix that in the morning.  :thumb:

so the top two rows are N7 green? that is what i want to know :)

no it's not. OP states that the green is N7, the mockup does not necessarily represent the approriate color though. look at dolch and how that ended up, looking way better IRL than on the mockup. i don't mean it's bad, i just want to know how the green is going to look IRL.

They are the same base colors, but ours uses black legends.  It is up to you, if you choose to purchase from MD.  Our set is more comprehensive than theirs, and will offer more compatibility.  The only other potential difference, is if we meet the next price break @400 orders, we will be including yellow winkeys.  We are also receiving a red ESC as a freebie, where MD is not.  Value wise, this is a better set.

Some Updates:

We will be marking all INTL customs forms as $20USD in order to minimize additional costs upon traveling through customs.  If anyone has any other opinions on this matter, do share.  I want this to go as smooth as possible, so feedback is appreciated.

As it stands right now, we are approximately 1/3 of the way to MOQ.  If we do not reach MOQ by the deadline, the GB will not move to Invoicing/production/etc.  Only reason I say this, is to hopefully gain some more traction with the GB since orders have significantly dwindled over the past week.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to share with us and either radio_killah or myself will do our best to get you answers as soon as possible.

I wasn't necessarily asking for people to increase their orders, just wanted to be transparent with the status.  If people decide to, that is completely fine.  I would love to see this set happen, since its the first comprehensive modpack of its kind.

I have yet to own a GMK set, so please excuse my ignorance, but why do (seemingly all) GMK mod packs skip the 1.75u control key? Is it a mold thing? A Cherry thing?

I despise the caps lock, so this is a requirement for me, but I realize that's a bit extreme.

The reason we did not include it, is because it would look weird.  We are running a traditional RGB pack, that covers shift, ctrl, and alt.  If we included a R3 control, it would look terrible.  There have been sets that included the R3 control though.

Putting an order in for a third set now that PHOTEK confirmed that classic beige will be up next week.

This mods set will go perfectly with it since they both support A profile bottom row. :thumb:

This set has Alt Gr keys, billnye's set doesn't. Judging from your past comments, ISO compatibility seems to be important to you.

Can someone explain to me the function of an Alt Gr key?  I tried looking it up, but it didn't make a lot of sense to me.  Seems to me it's a separate function layer from normal Alt used for currency and language specific icons?

Alt Gr(aph) is used to access the third layer. Here's a German QWERTZ layout for example:
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/KB_Germany.svg/640px-KB_Germany.svg.png)
You can access the blue characters (like the brackets, @, or Euro-symbol) using Alt Gr.

If you actually did put it in an R4 1.5 "Ctrl" ... or heck.. even all of them "Ctrl" maybe the folks at CtrlAlt might be interested.

I'm totally in anyway though.

So, an update on the current state of things.  We are not much further along than we were before.  We have about 2 weeks until the GB closes, and if we don't make it then the GB will be cancelled.  I hope that isn't the case, as I really want these, but it may just be a bad time for the GB.  If for whatever reason it does not happen, radio_killah and I will just keep the idea around, and potentially plan again for it in the future.

In my expericence there is never a good time to start a GB because people on Geekhack always recover from some GB. And the next best thing is always about to launch.

Maybe it's a good idea to attach this to Photekq's Classic Beige GB and show people how good these will look with his set. Wouldn't cost anything to ask him  :thumb:

Damn hopefully the big order from asia will come soon.

The problem may be to the set being too well made, I could use only one set for multiples boards, so I don't need to pick multiples like in other GBs.

Photekq linked this GB in his current GMK Classic Beige GB :

Maybe you can ask him to include a mock up of the RGBK keys in his OP. Otherwise people might not notice it.

It's a Korean custom from a group buy from the maker Duck.

There's an IC going for one at the mo',  but yes,  I am ashamed to say I didn't know what a lightsaver was,  not sure what that's got to do with owning clacks.  Custom and vintage boards are a new territory for me right now.

Owning a ClickClack is just as deep in the rabbit hole as Lightsavers are, mang.

Not much change since last time Ghost or I updated the count. Still sitting just slightly above 50% of MOQ.

If anyone is on the fence because of the issues with TA... don't be... you should buy these.

The tried and true colors of these caps, and classic beige, cannot be compared to the shortcomings of that group buy. GMK has proven themselves capable of producing premium, if not the best, keycaps around. The colors used in TA were custom and they did not know how the dyes would affect the quality of the finished product. The primary colors used in most GMK sets have been used thousands of times. They have those down to a science! Also, it's pretty obvious to me that the scratches were the result of crappy Massdrop packaging... which, unfortunately, I've experienced first hand in previous buys with them.

Hi bro,I'm addicted to GMK,no matter the color-way is and profile is,I'll double my order.
From oblivetti and RA,,from the triumph Adler and hyper fuse,to Miami nights and classic beige's ,as for me,a big fan of GMK,I almost double my orders in these GB.The upcoming GMK SoWaRe and GMK skidata' replica attracted me so much I couldn't resist the temptation to double them. I think there are many GMK fans like me
As for GMK's MOD pack,MD have launched RGBY and CMYW,,in addition to Blue MOD even the less possible RED mod,there's so much GMK's full sets and MOD including CMYK V2 with high compatibility, the demand for RGBK is less. Because all these GMK'GB,have already done and running now and upcoming,split and decrease the demand to hit the MOQ. In one word,the RGBK is a beautiful and right GB happens at right place but at wrong time.

In addition to,many GMK's full sets have rich and abundant MOD,which has high compatiblity with all kinds of keyboards. All this vibrant and abundant mod make the demand for RGBK decreases further.
MY suggestion for RGBK is making this GB as long as possible as Miami night even more time for ours'wallet to recover or frozen this GB after deadline and find a perfect time to make  this GB thaw and happen again.

i know this mock-up has been decided. There are too many "alt" keycaps in this and no "win" keycaps . this is why many people don't join in this , if add "win" and delete one or two "alt", the orders from EC could skyrocket from 100. Believe me.

Yeah, 4 extra AltGr keys are overkill. Maybe one 1.5 AltGr would have been enough flavor for the vintage Cherry crowd.

As an ISO user I don't even understand why others find it so important to have this key. I mean the layer is still there even if the cap doesn't say "Gr".

I couldn't care less what my legends say as long as they look nice. I mean all the symbols on the number row are wrong for me anyway, so why would I care if my right Alt key is kinda wrong?

Not everyone has gave up on using caps matching his country layout, using Alt caps on AltGr position won't kill me, but it's something I really appreciate to have.

I understand that and of course I respect that, but economically it doesn't make sense to cater to a minority. I mean I doubt that more than 20% of the orders are from the ISO folks.

Some of us, myself including, think this buy was thoughtfully planned out.

The different row and size of keys is intended to give you the most flexibility in layout. This is desirable because it allows this set to be used with many different keyboards. This set is future proof if you will... Allowing you to use it for any keyboard you'll own in the foreseeable future.

With 75-100 orders coming and the number already over 125 it's actually very likely this buy will meet MOQ. So when you say impossible... I just don't see that.

Edit: you said 400 orders.. Ok yeah that might be a bit much to meet at this point. But 250 is very close :)

Yea, the row 5 profile option is wonderful, I prefer Cherry profile row 5 on that bottom row.  This set is simple, yet very functional.  I just think people aren't crazy about the colors, because we've seen a lot of RGB and Massdrop just ran an RGB buy.  The Blue modifier set run by billnye went very well.  Personally, I find the RGB scheme timeless, but keycap buys seem to go in trends.

No matter how much we sit here and talk this up, I doubt that the MOQ will be reached before August 17.

The form has a radio button to select if you're updating an order. The way I understood it is you enter the new number you want to order. So if you ordered one previously and you're adding one you would put two in the quantity text box.

We got the order in while I was asleep. As of now we have met MOQ. We are just over 300.

Awesome news!!

I am glad we reached MOQ. Would have been nice to hit 400 though to get extra win keys.

I am going to speak to radio_killah today and see if he wants to try to hit 400 or not, now that we are somewhat close.

Would anyone be opposed to a small extension (week) to attempt this?

I am absolutely ok with a little extension. Doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things. Production and shipping will take some more months anyway.

If it made a difference I could squeeze in another set to my order as well  :thumb:

That's kind of my thought as well. I'll speak to him today sometime, as well as a Korean contact that was interested in winkeys. I'll update here with info when I have it.

No need to rush it for me, though I don't care for winkeys myself

ditto... I'm just glad to see this buy will be successful. If we get winkeys great, otherwise, I'm still happy :) Either way I don't mind the extra week of wait time.

So a quick update.

We are currently at 318 orders.  We believe that we can make it to 400, and have the winkeys added.  So we will keep the GB open for at least one more week and see how it goes.  We have contaced GMK about a revised key list @400 sets, with 1u and 1.25u winkeys.  Once we recieve that information I will update the OP.  We were initially told that if we had 400 orders we could add the 4 extra keys without a price change.  If anything differs once the mockup is received, I will let everyone know, but I would not expect it to.

If you want to add to order, is it just to make a new order on the total amount?

The form has a radio button to select if you're updating an order. The way I understood it is you enter the new number you want to order. So if you ordered one previously and you're adding one you would put two in the quantity text box.

Thanks! Doubled my order now. I want those winkeys aswell!

Hey guys. The new render is in. I hope you all like it.

I am waiting on the final pricing from GMK but it is likely going to stay exactly the same or very similar.

The final set would also include a black on red escape key as our bonus key.

We need about 10 more orders and then we can finally start the invoicing phase.

Problem of old style (98 windows) is that it's pad printed, and even with GMK quality it will fade, hence the general preference for Windows 8 logo.

[...]  Once packages have been dropped off with USPS, we assume no liability for lost or stolen packages. [...]

How often are there issues like lost packages?
Is that how private group buys usually go about this problem?

Post by: radio_killah on Wed, 26 August 2015, 14:04:09
Lost packages generally aren't an issue but because of the smaller value of the set the standard usps $50 insurance is more than enough to cover the full cost of the set.

Just a heads up. We have our PayPal account ready for the buy and will be starting invoicing as soon as we can confirm the pricing with GMK.

Hey guys. The new render is in. I hope you all like it.

I am waiting on the final pricing from GMK but it is likely going to stay exactly the same or very similar.

The final set would also include a black on red escape key as our bonus key.

We need about 10 more orders and then we can finally start the invoicing phase.

You're missing the red and black escape keys

Invoicing is completed, with the exception of two orders that I need some additional info on. We have lost a few orders over the past couple days, so we will leave orders open for now and hopefully we can get some straglers. Otherwise I will make up for the extras if need be. If anyone needs to adjust their orders at this point, or if the invoice is incorrect in anyway, please let me know. You can either PM me here, or send me an email. Whichever is easiest.   I will update the thread once we are ready to move forward.

Hey team,

I have received two invoices #0070 and #0103. To my memory, I only signed up for this once. It could be possible that I signed up for it once, then forgot about it, and signed up for it again a few weeks later. If I did put in two orders I must have done so by accident. I have paid one of the invoices. Sorry about this.

Quick update for everyone.  We are still waiting for invoice payments to come in.  We have also lost quite a few orders since invoicing has started.  It is at a point where we cannot realistically afford to buy out the remainder of the sets.  As of now, we are at 350 sets, 153 orders, and 116 paid invoices.  So if you can spread the word on reddit, I am about to head to class or I would, and try and help us reach 400.

Quick update for everyone.  We are still waiting for invoice payments to come in.  We have also lost quite a few orders since invoicing has started.  It is at a point where we cannot realistically afford to buy out the remainder of the sets.  As of now, we are at 350 sets, 153 orders, and 116 paid invoices.  So if you can spread the word on reddit, I am about to head to class or I would, and try and help us reach 400.

Thanks  :thumb:

Is that 350 sets with or without the unpaid invoices?
That is 350 total ordered. We have another 20 coming in, so assume 370. Radio and I planned to cover 20, but would rather not unless necessary. So we were shooting for 360 before those 40.

In large friendly letters, the Op says: Group Buy will be open until August 24, 2015

You may wish to adjust this, if you are still (hoping to) taking orders.

We are at about 375 now, give or take 1-2. At the bare minimum, we want 380 paid sets, and we will cover the remaining 20. Regardless, RGBYK will happen, hopefully sooner than later though.

That's a bit optimistic. It all depends on how many other orders GMK has to fulfil in the next couple of months.

Just look at the GMK Blue Mods GB:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=70595.0

Invoicing ended in May and now we have September and the keys are not finished yet.

Hey guys just a quick update and reminder. So GMK has given us the final quote including shipping this time. So we are set to submit our order. However we still have 15+ invoices that are unpaid and we aren't able to continue unless those people pay or we get more orders to replace those. We are set on ordering at least 400 so that way we can bring you guys the yellow windows keys.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK RGBYK - Orders open - Invoicing

I just sent out reminders, and messaged all of the remaining people.  If you are one of those people, please do your best to pay your invoice asap.  We are down 26 sets with these unpaid orders, so we really need them paid before we can move forward with the order.  If anyone has any questions for me, do not hesitate to shoot me a PM or post in the thread.

Thanks! :thumb:

If we can get 6 more sets paid for we can move ahead with this. There are about 13 unpaid invoices now so the reminders definitely worked! I would love for all 13 of those to be paid but it looks like we should be able to place the order within the week.

I wanted to let everyone know the current status of the GB.

So about 4 days ago, I received an email saying that the PP account used for the GB has had a hold placed on it.  There were 4 pieces of information I needed to confirm with PP in order to have the hold lifted.  One of those pieces of information was delivery conformations for about 20 orders. I contacted paypal and explained the purpose of the funds and why I will be unable to provide them with delivery info at this time.  On Friday, I received a phone call from the rep that is handling my case.  He informed me that since the account does not have a history of being a merchant, and due to the large amount of incoming funds, they placed a hold on it.  I explained the purpose again to him, and he said he understood.  He said that in order to release the funds, I would need to provide the shipping info.  So that basically means that I am unable to transfer any money out of the account, to GMK, until after the GB is completed and shipped.  He mentioned that it was a new policy that was recently implemented.  We are currently stuck, in terms of options.  I am going to call them again on Monday, and see if I can get some more information and try to resolve this issue.  Whatever happens, I will keep everyone informed and I am terribly sorry for all of this.  I spoke with a few GB runners prior to this, and none had ever ran into issues their first time.  The only thing that makes sense to me is the policy update he mentioned.  I have not been able to find this in the policy so I hope that I can get in touch with someone that is more willing to accommodate this than he was. 

I did ask him, in the event we have to refund all the orders, if the fees would be refunded as well.  He said that they would refund the exact amount that was paid through the invoice.  So the only other issue would be currency conversion.  Radio and I are trying to figure out the best way to do this, if we are unable to work it out with PP.  Worst case scenario is that we will have to provide the difference out of pocket for those orders.  Again, I am incredibly sorry for this.  I know there are a lot of people really interested in this GB, and we will do our best to make sure it happens.  Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury to pay GMK directly, or we would have explored that option already.

I will let you all know more once I have more info from PP.

How exactly do they want to have those 20 deliveries confirmed?

I would declare I alreday got my kit if it helps :p

If they want actual tracking for the shipments, maybe it would be the cheapest solution to send 20 empty envelopes to users from the US.

I did ask him, in the event we have to refund all the orders, if the fees would be refunded as well.  He said that they would refund the exact amount that was paid through the invoice.  So the only other issue would be currency conversion.  Radio and I are trying to figure out the best way to do this, if we are unable to work it out with PP.  Worst case scenario is that we will have to provide the difference out of pocket for those orders.  Again, I am incredibly sorry for this.  I know there are a lot of people really interested in this GB, and we will do our best to make sure it happens.  Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury to pay GMK directly, or we would have explored that option already.

I will let you all know more once I have more info from PP.


Thanks for the update and for all your efforts in trying to coordinate this! It sucks but I'm hoping something can get figured out to make this happen :)

How exactly do they want to have those 20 deliveries confirmed?

I would declare I alreday got my kit if it helps :p

If they want actual tracking for the shipments, maybe it would be the cheapest solution to send 20 empty envelopes to users from the US.
There need tracking info for a specific set of orders, many of which are overseas.  And they need delivery confirmation from the tracking.

So an update on things.

Paypal is not budging on the hold.  I have spoken with quite a few reps, and they have all said the same thing.  So at the very least we will have to refund all the orders.  From there, it's kind of up in the air.  We can either cancel the GB and revisit at a later date, or explore other payment options.  We haven't spoken much on the latter, since we are more focused on ensuring all money is refunded.  I don't think anyone who joined the GB will lose any money, I think that we may have to cover the $0.30 per invoice.  Paypal did say that they would be able to work with me and have that credited back to me, but I have to begin refunding for that to happen.  The other issue is currency conversion for intl orders.  Paypal said that they would work with me on that as well, but I am not too confident on that, since they are a business designed to make money.  We will most likely begin refunds tomorrow.  I ask that everyone keeps the funds in USD for the time being, until I have more information on what the plans moving forward are.  Ultimately, this is your decision though.  Radio and I will do our best to make this nightmare as painless for all involved.  I am extremely sorry for all of this trouble.  I really wanted this to succeed and we are facing some massive obstacles right now. 

If there are any questions or concerns, be sure to post them here.  I will try and get back to you all as quickly as possible, but my time is limited currently while I am working and attending college.  Worst case, Radio will step in to offer any solutions or answers.

Do we have to give up with the PayPal option??

We are really sorry about this guys.. Ghost and I have been brainstorming over the weekend and at this point there are really no viable options for us to take. We are still definitely interested in trying again if people are willing to back us. This definitely has been a learning experience and we definitely recommend any new group buy leaders to talk to Paypal or whoever their money management service is before they begin.

Like Ghost said we will make sure that everyone receives their money back in full even if it puts us in the red. I hope this doesn't break any trust between us and the community. We have tried to be as transparent and active as possible.

Thanks for the support and once again we are terribly sorry about all this..
Thank you to the guys offering to donate $1 for refunding of orders. We will definitely try and have Paypal work with us to refund the orders in full at no cost to us.

Please feel free to PM either Ghost or me if you need anything.

Yeah, not sure how people get this attitude, where they expect that placing an order in a community run group buy is the same as placing an order on Amazon.

Group buy organisers don't organise GBs for the money, they do it for the community. Even disregarding the huge amount of time and effort involved, I've heard that sometimes it ends up costing them money.

I wanted to let everyone know the current status of the GB.

So about 4 days ago, I received an email saying that the PP account used for the GB has had a hold placed on it.  There were 4 pieces of information I needed to confirm with PP in order to have the hold lifted.  One of those pieces of information was delivery conformations for about 20 orders. I contacted paypal and explained the purpose of the funds and why I will be unable to provide them with delivery info at this time.  On Friday, I received a phone call from the rep that is handling my case.  He informed me that since the account does not have a history of being a merchant, and due to the large amount of incoming funds, they placed a hold on it.  I explained the purpose again to him, and he said he understood.  He said that in order to release the funds, I would need to provide the shipping info.  So that basically means that I am unable to transfer any money out of the account, to GMK, until after the GB is completed and shipped.  He mentioned that it was a new policy that was recently implemented.  We are currently stuck, in terms of options.  I am going to call them again on Monday, and see if I can get some more information and try to resolve this issue.  Whatever happens, I will keep everyone informed and I am terribly sorry for all of this.  I spoke with a few GB runners prior to this, and none had ever ran into issues their first time.  The only thing that makes sense to me is the policy update he mentioned.  I have not been able to find this in the policy so I hope that I can get in touch with someone that is more willing to accommodate this than he was. 

I did ask him, in the event we have to refund all the orders, if the fees would be refunded as well.  He said that they would refund the exact amount that was paid through the invoice.  So the only other issue would be currency conversion.  Radio and I are trying to figure out the best way to do this, if we are unable to work it out with PP.  Worst case scenario is that we will have to provide the difference out of pocket for those orders.  Again, I am incredibly sorry for this.  I know there are a lot of people really interested in this GB, and we will do our best to make sure it happens.  Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury to pay GMK directly, or we would have explored that option already.

I will let you all know more once I have more info from PP.




So an update on things.

Paypal is not budging on the hold.  I have spoken with quite a few reps, and they have all said the same thing.  So at the very least we will have to refund all the orders.  From there, it's kind of up in the air.  We can either cancel the GB and revisit at a later date, or explore other payment options.  We haven't spoken much on the latter, since we are more focused on ensuring all money is refunded.  I don't think anyone who joined the GB will lose any money, I think that we may have to cover the $0.30 per invoice.  Paypal did say that they would be able to work with me and have that credited back to me, but I have to begin refunding for that to happen.  The other issue is currency conversion for intl orders.  Paypal said that they would work with me on that as well, but I am not too confident on that, since they are a business designed to make money.  We will most likely begin refunds tomorrow.  I ask that everyone keeps the funds in USD for the time being, until I have more information on what the plans moving forward are.  Ultimately, this is your decision though.  Radio and I will do our best to make this nightmare as painless for all involved.  I am extremely sorry for all of this trouble.  I really wanted this to succeed and we are facing some massive obstacles right now. 

If there are any questions or concerns, be sure to post them here.  I will try and get back to you all as quickly as possible, but my time is limited currently while I am working and attending college.  Worst case, Radio will step in to offer any solutions or answers.



TL;DR: paypal is blocking the money because the paypal account has no merchant history. They want shipping verification to release the money. Refund is the only way to get back the money for the moment.

Are these the same invoices to use in PayPal's new layout? Is there a way to go back to the old website look and distinguish between goods and services? I've never run a group buy, only have handed out a few invoices in the past few months for other things, and PayPal's new website puts both goods and services in the same invoice.

That is the new system. See at the top where it says "Hide customization options?" You have to click that box to change from Quantity (Goods) to Hours (Service).

Oh, I see it now. It still appears a little differently than your screenshot, but it still offers "hours."

If people are so inclined I am willing to go ahead and contact Massdrop. They are right up the street in SF and I have met Kunal from Massdrop. Speaking for at least myself, this is my least preferred route. Although Massdrop just ran RGBW and CMYW using Originativeco's left overs and that seemed to go well. We could get this to probably tip at 400 sets again using their audience.

As for the refunds, like Ghost said, thank you so much to the offers by people to donate $1 but for the time being we will continue to just refund in full and pay out of pocket if necessary. This was our oversight and we are going to correct it, or have Paypal do it  :)).

Thanks jd for that helpful paypal hint. Definitely something to keep in handy for any new group buy leaders. I wish we had known that sooner.

Please be patient with us as we work on the refunds. Much appreciated everyone.

It seems everyone would prefer avoiding Massdrop, but I have no qualms with them. Sure, I can understand that they're in the "big league" and not as detail-oriented as we'd like, but if they in no way alter your designs (including the bonus Windows and Esc keys), then I don't see why we should avoid using them, especially if it means a guarantee of getting our caps.

Otherwise, we can try and hope the "hours" invoice option through PayPal works.

I think if you went with massdrop the best thing to do would be to run it as part of a classic beige buy (not sure whats happening with photekq's at the moment)

Considering how well granite went I'm sure it would hit MOQ pretty easily

I concur, both group buys could help each other out, but everyone is going to be wary of another GMK/Massdrop buy. TA messed it up for everyone. maybe a little too ambitious, and people standards and expectations were really high for that buy also.

If we go to a different format, I will again request - NAY - beg that we please please please add CMYK to this buy. i appreciate all the extras that have been added, but more than anything i need a CMYK pack, and they are so hard to find...

Yeah at this point Massdrop may be a decent option to reach MOQs and prevent paypal issues with both sets.

All banks have this kind of detection now of sudden changes in account behaviour. It's meant to stop drug dealers and money launderers or their mules basically. It came in with Basel II, which I assume Paypal are bound by as well. Of course a bank will not just suspend your account, nor immediately report you to the IRS because you have a personal relationship with them (usually). Paypal on the other hand doesn't give a **** about you.

This sort of issue has occurred before with group buys.  I know somewhere we have addressed how to deal with this issue.  I think one methods was sending out empty shipping notifications when the payment was made.  But I'm not really sure.

What jdcarpe mentioned also seems like a good idea.  He has run enough group buys to know what's up.

Anyways, a solution exists that avoids catching the attention of Paypal, we just need to find it.

I agree.

However we need to make sure that the solution doesn't jeapordise the group buy runner. Some people have suggested sending out empty envelopes qtc. This would not only be a waste of money for the organiser, but i imagine could open him up to accusations of fraud and risk having his PayPal account frozen etc.

I would guess it depends on the number of orders we hit, with the same keys (inc yellow win keys) if we don't hit 400 again it'll definitely be more expensive.

Don't combine this with the "classic beige" here or Massdrop.

Many people, including myself, purchased the GMK doubleshot beige set when it was on Originative. Was that a year or even 2 years ago? Regardless, many have it already.

And many people want one or the other, but not both. No reason to combine them just because they look nice together. If it doesn't reach MOQ, it doesnt.

Put it on Massdrop too by itself and it will sell. I many buy another set as a backup there, but I won't here due to the odd payment method.

They don't mean literally combining the set, just if one sets MOQ is achieved then the MOQ for another set is much lower, combining the order but not the set. So you can buy either both or neither :thumb: I'm pretty sure atleast :-\

Don't combine this with the "classic beige" here or Massdrop.

Many people, including myself, purchased the GMK doubleshot beige set when it was on Originative. Was that a year or even 2 years ago? Regardless, many have it already.

And many people want one or the other, but not both. No reason to combine them just because they look nice together. If it doesn't reach MOQ, it doesnt.

Put it on Massdrop too by itself and it will sell. I many buy another set as a backup there, but I won't here due to the odd payment method.

They don't mean literally combining the set, just if one sets MOQ is achieved then the MOQ for another set is much lower, combining the order but not the set. So you can buy either both or neither :thumb: I'm pretty sure atleast :-\

Yep thats the idea I had in mind

There was recently a very successful rgby set on sale on massdrop. Why don't you offer the white font option too? That would be very easy with the gmk moq.

Specificly because it was run recently on MD, and because it's made to go along a black legends keyset.

I know.... But that may bring a little additional profit while keeping unaltered the value of the work done in selecting these keycaps :-)

Got the refund as well.

Let's hope it doesn't get considerably more expensive with Massdrop. Maybe they can include a yellow menu key as well ;)

What sucks though is that us filthy Europeans are facing import fees as Massdrop won't declare it "20$".

I think that isn't so important as creating caps with black legends.

Ghost/Radio
Regarding the financial lost you guys make during this event, how can one contribute for this matter?
A few of us has already proposed to cut down our refund, might as well open the option for people to do this



We don't need any contributions but I thank you for the nice gesture. I would just love it if people still supported the group buy on Massdrop. They are doing us a huge solid and are throwing out their normal keycap group buy rules for this one. I can't go into specifics but I will say that Massdrop has thus far been very accommodating.

Don't combine this with the "classic beige" here or Massdrop.

Don't worry that wouldn't even be an option, that decision would need to be put up to Mr. Potek. That is his group buy, and although we are friends we are not in any way working together. The fact that our sets got run side by side was mere coincidence.

Got the refund as well.

Let's hope it doesn't get considerably more expensive with Massdrop. Maybe they can include a yellow menu key as well ;)

What sucks though is that us filthy Europeans are facing import fees as Massdrop won't declare it "20$".

This is what is most important to both Ghost and I and Massdrop. We understand there will be more labor costs and other taxes involved with this buy now that it is going through Massdrop. I wish I could do more for our international friends.. Really sorry about that guys.. But I am working with Massdrop to insure that the price point for the set stays as close as possible to the original price that we offered.

However the set with the windows keys will not be changed. The set is set in stone.

Massdrop is not evil. Just make sure that they specify how the keycaps will be shipped. A cardboard box is often used by for example coruskb (vortex). But maybe that a bag could be good enough.

It sucks, but I paid it for RGBW and CMYW the other month, I'll do the same for this! Massdrop might not be loved by all, but at the end of the day, if you want the set; you want the set.

Massdrop shipping and value declaration will add another ~$40 to the cost of the set for me. Will make it more difficult to justify. Not that this is particularly relevant to anyone else; just something to think about.

I've wondered why residents outside the USA don't like Massdrop.  I guess this explains why.  Also, Massdrop does a poor job of packing some items and endangers to damage during the shipping process.

Personally to me as a European it feels silly to order GMK stuff through Massdrop. In that case I'm paying to have a German company ship stuff to the US where it will be shipped back to me at considerable cost,  after which I will have to pay extra VAT and import (!) duty on it. It's ridiculous.

Yeah that is why it is a little frustrating for us to have to use Massdrop since if we had done it ourselves we could have helped out our international supporters with those extra taxes. We are sorry that it came to this but would still appreciate your support if possible. Like I said before I am working on making this set as close to that previous price as possible.

In Italy I paid 30% on 40$. That's not much considering that vat is 20%. You are only paying 10% more than vat. If you buy directly from gmk you still would have to pay the vat, which is not paid when you export to the US. Please tell me if the math is wrong, which is not.

It is to allow for the flat rate shipping of 3 keycap sets per box. That part is really out of my control. My work around would to be to join the drop multiple times buying in bunches of 3 if you wanted to purchase more. OR you could just email massdrop support about it and they could easily help you out.

And I'm positive aswell that the support would help me.
Anyway, I only got those extra sets before to help tip the GB. I know these will have good secondhand value so I just wanted to help out. Now when it's on massdrop I don't think I need to help to tip it. I will if needed.

Sometimes that happens. There still are nine days left. Maybe you can ask Massdrop to lower the MOQ? Or is that a GMK thing?

MOQ is the amount GMK needs. 250 for a set to be made. At 400 there is a price break, which is allowing ghost and radio to add the winkeys.

As I know the ec order would never be placed. The organizer did had contacted Massdrop and asked them to claim a lower cost for the whole order ,then the tax could be lowered or avoided, which is obviously illegal.
This proposition was turned down by Massdrop.
The upset organizer is also reluctant to seek the proxy service that can avoid the tax too.
Then this guy has made a decision that the order won't be placed unless a new way could be  found out to avoid the potentially high tax.

As much as we would like to consider this option, we cannot. It would not go well with Massdrop if I were to order a large number of orders to reship as a proxy. If others are willing to proxy then that is great, but Ghost and I cannot.

Will this be produced regardless of the numbers or is 400 the MoQ ?

Pretty sure we get it if it tips 250, we just get it cheaper if we hit 400+.

Since we have hit 250 sets order we have hit MOQ, but 400 is a price break to $42 a set.

What happens if the set doesn't reach 400 orders on Massdrop?

I committed to buy two sets at the lowest price point. Will I be asked whether I am willing to buy them at a higher price (I would be!) or am I just out of luck and won't get any?

I don't think this is a Massdrop thing. Two hundred orders suddenly disappearing? Someone (or multiple) placed very large orders and decided, for whatever reason, to back out at the last minute.

Well, we have made MOQ.  The only issue is that once it hits 400 orders, the price will drop back to $42.  Since the winkeys were included from the start, it raised the initial price.

As it stands, the set is going to be made.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK RGBYK - Live on Massdrop
Post by: LechnerDE on Thu, 01 October 2015, 02:19:19
Just got the "drop complete" message from Massdrop.

Unfortunately we didn't reach 400 orders and couldn't get back to the orignal GB price. I had hoped Massdrop might decide to order the missing kits anyway and sell them later. I think this would have been a good investment for them, because it's pretty clear to me that once these keys are produced, dozens of people will come out of their holes and ask for another run...

But whatever, I am looking forward to my two sets  :thumb:

Seriously. Without their help, this wouldn't have happened. They did this GB a solid favor, and has changed my opinion of them. The way they handled this, and was able to keep the pricing low, surprised me.

I could set this up with GMK and Massdrop again but it seems like there are already a lot of other RGBYW GMK sets out there right now. Both Originative and Geekkeys have them in their shops. The only difference being fewer keys in their respective sets.

I don't know what to call mod sets like RGB and CMY because they are only partial mod sets
I'm gonna call them ParMod sets to differentiate them from full mod sets like Electric Bluegaloo

But yeah white on RGB is so available that it shouldn't be run anytime soon
CMYK or something new would be my picks

Wow that is really bad.  I would contact MD about the issue and see about getting a replacement possibly.  Radio and I were not involved after the PP fiasco, so MD would have to be the ones to sort you out if you need a replacement.

Glad to hear that everyone is happy with the set.  I am very happy how the keys turned out.

mine turned up in exactly the same condition: too much eyeliner on some of the shifts: just enough to ensure that i couldn't make a matched pair. the good news is it's a bit more difficult to notice on the kbd.

on the other hand:
wtf GMK? where is the quality control?

wtf massdrop? i bet the folks on the staff who got into the gb picked and chose theirs so they matched and distributed the **** keys to everybody not in their click. i.e. f**k all the customers who aren't our friends.
so... no more massdrop for me, like ever again. also... I'm done with keycaps in general particulalry anything gmk.

What is funny is that I actually don't remember if Ghost and I got Massdrop warehouse guys to sort the keys or GMK.

Probably GMK, the kit is in a GMK small bag.

Yeah I thought it was fine as well
Seems like everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill with this one - this is nowhere close in scale to the issues seen in GMK TA

Even though there a minor problem I can't think of anyone with better QC than GMK

sorry if i sounded over the top here ^^^^.... RL has been crazy lately and I really didn't mean to take out on you b*tches.

seriously though i apologize for being and/ or sounding like a spoiled a**, i appreciate the effort the organizers put into this stuff. i know that mistakes can happen and i should just let things slide a bit more. GH is though, one of the few places on earth where i can complain about my disappointments about doubleshot flow problems .. i do feel like i took that a bit too far, though.

thanks for overlooking my rant, too!

What QC issues did you people encounter in this GB?
I'm not satisfied of: 2.75 shift without text/ with text, 1.25 shift.

Man, I must be the easiest guy to please. Unless the whole text is unaligned, I really don't care about a small fraction of thickness or whatnot as I'll never really look at the legends when I'm actually using the keyboard. Scratches don't really bother me either, especially if they're on the side as they'll never be noticed anyway--unless you plan on selling them later.

That's just me, though.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK RGBYK - Now we wait
Post by: ghostjuggernaut on Thu, 28 January 2016, 11:11:45
Has anyone compared the legends with other icon only shift keys?

Only reason I ask is that this seems to be pretty consistent among these sets. I don't know everything about gmk production, but I would assume the legend molds are all the same for various colors. I may be wrong, idk, just a thought.
