GMK Mini packs (completed)

[MOZ]

I was unaware that the code key would be made in a color of GMK's choice,  I know it stated so in the OP.

Having said that, now that I know I am cool with it.

[tjweir]

I will gladly take any Code keys from those who are "disappointed".

It's a nice little extra that I'm greatful for.  I bought more than one Esc pack not because I wanted more Code keys, but because I wanted us to hit the MOQ.  I signed up for multiples of the other sets that didn't make it in the hopes that they would as well.  Be happy for what you're getting.

+1, sad that even gifts are complained about.

Thanks again Ivan.

[CPTBadAss]

I am disappointed Ivan won't tell me where to go

I AM LOST IN A SEA OF GMK HAPPINESS IVAN. HELP ME

[gojira54]

This GB had interesting stuff - shame more didn't make it, freebie is also appreciated
Do GMK have the tooling for the caps top centered code key as per the OP pic?
If it exists it's a good contender for future mini pack or maybe add as extra option to grey set that IS going to make it real soon

[IvanIvanovich]

I sent GMK the picture of the CODE key that is in the OP when I asked if they had it... so I am confused myself but it's OK. In the future if it is to be included in something or offered alone again I can make sure we get that one with all caps specifically.

[mashby]

I think this is crazy exciting and love seeing more-and-more coming from GMK. We're slowly building credibility with them as a reliable source for special order. That's mostly because of Ivan and all his hard work putting these group buys together.

I can't thank you enough for all that you do for us Ivan.

Ivan for president! 

[MOZ]

My vote goes to him,  I nominated him when he got the MOQ lowered.

[GeorgeK]

I'd vote for him too lol

[rowdy]

At least for the moment the original green code keys retain their value and rarity

As do the original blue code keys

I'm a bit upset if not heartbroken that it's not in all caps...

[tbc]

ya, kinda upset that it's not in all caps.  i knew about the randomness of the color and actually liked that.  not a big deal in any case and i'm glad we're getting it, especially for free.  thanks again to ivan.

are people interested in a geekhack + code key mini pack?  i'd be super interested in a set of at least one of each with inverted colors or some other scheme where we might get it for cheaper.

[gojira54]

It all depends if GMK actually have the original style tooling - if not then what Ivan is giving us for free is as good as it gets

[bueller]

I'm guessing that's probably what happened. Would be awesome to find out for certain if they actually do have the all caps version.

[MOZ]

If they do and I go ahead with my supplementary to RGB/CMYK GMK pack GB, I will include a couple of different variants matching the original CODE keys in light green, light blue and some other variants based on IC as a pack.

[Dianoda]

FYI - The original code keycap molding process is a bit different from the other GMK caps I've seen - here's what the green one I have looks like from underneath (edit: the blue one is the same, btw):



versus modern GMK doubleshots (keycap on the right is GMK, the one on the left is SP - also, image credit goes to GH user amasokin):



The original code keycaps are quite old - like late 80's old - they've been out of production for a long time.  So yeah, GMK may not have the original tooling for upper-case code keycaps.

[MOZ]

That is a very clean double shot.

[bazh]

not a CODE key but I also have keycaps from a TA typewriter, these old Cherry doubleshot are quite different I agree

I would slap myself silly and dress up in a leotard for a complete set of keycaps like that code key.

[MOZ]

Can you show the legends on those two keycaps

[IvanIvanovich]

Well they said they had it... so I guess something got mixed up when whoever went and pulled the tooling. They have some legends that are the 'same' with some minor variation. I would think that something like this happened similar to what happened with the mistake legends on the white/purple set with the differences of the alignments on the 2.25 shift and 1x Ctrl keys. I think the only thing we can do is ask for a check photo before the order is ran in the future to make sure they are using the exact specific legend version we are after.

[IvanIvanovich]

Anyone in the Des Moines IA area? I could probably use a bit of help getting all this stuff packed up. If you are and have some time to help out PM me.

[IvanIvanovich]

Sorry for the delay getting orders mailed. I have only gotten Austrian, most of Australian orders finished then my printer decided it no longer wants to function at all.

[IPT]

psh, USA, USA, USA!

[tjweir]

Go [C]anada!

[ideus]

I am way too far to help, but I'd really love to do it. All this hard work you give to the community is just so awesome.

[digi]

[Puddsy]

I'd help but I'm NY based

I trust you to get it sorted, though. You're good at that.

My daughter has her fingers crossed for Purple and Pink spacebars.

[rowdy]

Mind you, even with alphabetical postage, its going to take probably 3 to 4 weeks to get to Australia anyway, so most of you will have yours weeks before me

It seems they are using alphabetical order for the job.

[IvanIvanovich]

I like to mix up the send order in different ways. Sometimes I do it by order date, or paid date, or username... this time I did it by country order.

I think it's hysterically cool that the "Man of Mystery" was the one on the scene to lend aid. Awesome.
