Key features of the set:
This also includes a really neat 60% pack inspired by ileben's post here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74182.msg1823577#msg1823577) which I am super excited about.

There are also a lot of people who want darker mods. While I don't like the way it looks, and it doesn't really fit into my vision for this set, I am willing to offer the option as a child kit for those who want it.
This will run on MD hopefully as soon as the end of the month.
PLEASE NOTE: GMK is well aware of complaints about the TA buy related to trays, color inconsistency, etc, and will be improving their process this time around. They are designing new trays, btw. These are not cheap keys and we all deserve to get our money's worth. However, I advise managing expectations, and not losing your mind if there are any imperfections in these keys. We have seen that custom colors present some challenges, so while I expect improvements, I advise healthy expectation management. Also please note that GMK is going to do what it can to make keys fully opaque to backlighting, but this is not, and has never been, a spec'd feature of their keys. So if they let some light through, don't b1tch, because no one promised otherwise!

Cool, I really like the idea of the purple legends, I think they'll pop well with the larger Cherry legends.
Post by: intelli78 on Tue, 04 August 2015, 16:32:01
For the record (this is being recorded right?) I liked the darker mods on SNES better. The added contrast to the colors looked good.
Feel free to post ideas/variants for discussion! The darker variant was cool but I think I ultimately prefer my original version so I put it in OP.

Yup. Those would be custom colors. That also means 1k MOQ. That's a but ambitious, IMO.

If we wanted to avoid a custom color I think alternating with the mod purple-on-gray would still look good.
+1 for purple on dark gray mods.
Post by: Nai_Calus on Tue, 04 August 2015, 17:17:10
SNES is neat and I actually love purple, but... I actually really dislike the whole RGBY mods thing and it breaks the SNES one for me even though I otherwise actually like the colour scheme of SNES. It also bothers me that the nav cluster legends don't in any way match the main modifier legends that aren't RGBY. I know *why* it's happening, the right side of the controller, it just looks a little funky.
And yes, I know the RGBY is almost certainly a shout-out to the Super Famicon, but the color scheme of that is entirely different and really doesn't work with the SNES colors. It comes off as less a shout-out and more as slavishly following trends, I.E RGBY modifier sets. I had a vague notion back by the late 90s of what a SFC was, but I had no idea what it looked like until later, so instead of nostalgia I just get a feeling of 'why are there RGBY mods on thi- Oh wait. Weird.')
I'd alter it as follows:
- I know *why* the dark grey on medium grey mods contrasted with the medium grey with light grey mods are there, but it looks weird and inconsistent and either the numpad sticks with it and still looks like a different set got stuck to another one, or it goes back to the main cluster and looks even weirder. The place for this would be the numpad, honestly.
- Get rid of the weird RGBY mods. I know it's a shout-out the the Super Famicon, but it clashes wildly and RGBY mods are an overdone trend and not that difficult to source if you absolutely must have them. (And if they're there to shout-out to the SFC, why not just make the whole key that color? Please don't actually do that, it'd be even more hideous, but.) Plus, it's an SNES set, the SFC might be at heart the same console, but the color schemes are entirely different and it just doesn't work for me to mix them. Make it optional if it has to be there. Or make a Super Famicon set for the people who have nostalgia for that.
Because I'm bored, have a rough image of what I'm thinking since pictures are better than rambling:
(http://www.iankunx.net/snesedit.png)
I'm not sold on my own darker legends for Ctrl/Alt/Enter, those I put there for variance and to bring in the arrow/start/select/cord darker grey on keys that vaguely made sense for them. IDK.

I agree that it would look better without the rgby keys. If this becomes a reality, cost will be a big issue and having one or two nice custom colours is a really attractive part of this set.I agree, I know the actual SNES has the RGBY, but I really prefer the simplicity of having only a couple of colors.

It is kinda extravagant and it doesn't have the classic look that appeals to the masses. If you even want to do it with custom colors again, it is probably impossible to reach MOQ...
and also, there is apparently a similar CCNG-ish GMK green set in the works

I love that SNES Design, lighter mods and an option for RGBY WASD keys
I agree with the lighter mods, but IMO the board would look better with RGBY WADX keys rather than WASD or 8462 on the numpad if that is going to be an option.
If we're going to be adding silly add-ons here they may as well be laid out in a more authentic position.

Totally agree, threw it together in a few minutes just to play with the colors. I have a NES inspired Terminus Mini, but a full (real) set would be pretty rad for sure. Still, the point about the custom GMK colors seems a bit valid. Curious to see if any more QC issues seem to come up with TA

No offense Intelli but after seeing some of the quality of the plastics in Triumph Adler I don't think custom colours and GMK go well together
One would hope that they can iron out the processing of custom colors, assuming that was the issue. This was their first experience with it, after all.

Bump because I've already started thinking about designing a board around the SNES set. Is this moving forward? If not, anything we can do to help?
Yeah eventually, I just want to let things play out with the TA buy first and see where we're at.

Thanks! Just hoping Intelli78 plans on supporting ergodox. I think this set would be too good on dox to leave it out.
Question - Wouldn't it be easier to pull the colors off with SP? I get wanting to go GMK but the whole custom color problem seems to be a big concern for people in this thread, and I think SP has colors that are pretty close. Then again 100% would be better than pretty close so maybe custom color is the way to go anyways.

It's because of the 250 MOQ. [and possibly non-existent and incorrect row modifiers] You'd need to do 250 kits; so even if you counted 1 kit as 2 towards moq, you'd have to sell 125 of these sort of broken ergodox kits.

I'd be curious to see what a Dox set would look like on the snes. Good opportunities to be clever I think. Might also be able to do some fun legends for the dox that way
SNES color way on a ErgoDox would be super cool.

GMK SNES deserves our wallets brothers. Nothing compares with a creative color way that has never made before, in one the best profiles and with double shot legends that will outlast us, the set will be inherited for generations to come.
For someone with personal text like yours, this reads an awful lot like an Elrick post.

I'm just going to throw this out there but this time around can we please try and expand the set a little - I know that to get to GMK MOQ numbers it's good to have a lower price given how expensive these sets already are but I would love to see support for more layouts and for this set AN HHKB KIT!
Oh and can we please never go back to R5 profile for the arrow keys / wkl bottom row k thnx
I really like the R5 modifiers, but I can live without them, it that makes more people to join. Regarding price, I really cannot see the difference in price with other sets, even SP made ones, with child subsets may cost you the same, or even more than a full GMK set.

Honestly, I don't see how anyone else could've handled it better. I blame it on using custom colors and the display trays. No one else could've prevented discoloration, but the trays could've been secured better.
But then you'd have long periods of shipping them since a lone GB leader would've done it on their own.

I have had some issues with MD that I woun't detailed here to avoid derailing the thread; but, I will support what it would be in the best interest for the community at large, I still have a ConUS address so lack of shipping to some countries is not an issue for me, but it could be for some. The quality defects appear to be related with high production volumes along with the use of some plastic compound mixtures, additives and pigments not previously tested for the legends, but the packaging was all on MD.

I was just going to comment on this, and also the WASZ. I'm sure it was mentioned, but I couldn't seen to find why.
Post by: intelli78 on Thu, 19 November 2015, 15:10:09
For the WASZ, the point is that it's supposed to look like the controller d-pad, while [;'/ are ABXY.
Post by: romevi on Thu, 19 November 2015, 15:13:00
For the numpad mods, I just thought purple was a nice aesthetic touch that adds a little more color to the set. However, I would be just fine changing them to the regular mod color. I am happy to go with the majority on this.
For the WASZ, the point is that it's supposed to look like the controller d-pad, while [;'/ are ABXY.
I'd love to have purple mods, since this is an SNES theme. But that's just me. ;D
Also, I figured the WASZ was in homage to the button layout. It was just weird not seeing WASD for the first time, but glad the Famicom/PAL SNES colors are there too!
Sidenote:
Great to see you back in keycap design, intelli! I wasn't around when TA was on Md, thus had to get mine recently secondhand. It is gorgeous, so now I have great expectations for your future work. :thumb:

Im asking becuase if you put a 7u spacebar with the shift keys, and 1.5 ctrl/alt mods it will look off without yellow to balance it out.
this is a good point. I think the reason it is this way, is because last time GMK said they couldn't do doubleshot windows logos on 1u keys, and that it would have to be pad printed, so I went with blank. However, those were R5. They might be able to do it for R4. I'll check, and if they can, then I fully support this change.

I like how TA was just one set, no child deals, no split MOQ issues. Simple, buy or don't. I do like the dark mod set you have though too though. So yeah, add that to the pile of opinions.
I liked it a lot too.
I don't particularly like the dark mod set but there were a lot of people who wanted it, so I decided to be more open minded than in the TA buy and give it a shot.
Not keen to add further child kits -- there is basically zero chance of any of them making MOQ, which will be at least 500.

I've noticed that price usually becomes a topic in the comments section of MD. Having a lot of child deals would probably increase that and turn a lot of people off.

Its a shame I see these really nice dark mods in the extra kit but no 1.5 unit ctrl and alt keys in dark which means the extra kit is only targeting people with newer boards.This is the thing that would keep me from buying this set. Why can't the dark mods be like the SKIDATA+ color kit.

Question with echo:
intelli: A steep control key? ... a steep control key? ... a steep control key?
You may answer: No, never, forget it.
:))
Edit: In a serious suggestion: You may add a purple 2u backspace to go with the purple number row to allow the row of keys to be used in standard boards keeping its concept of a colorful top line.

This keycap set is making me seriously question my Alpsuality. Man, oh man. Yep, this is going to go on my Octagon v2 and I'm gonna get Silver + Titanium grey for the Octagon. This just changed all my plans. Hoooooly crap.

It didn't have hhkb support either.Its a shame I see these really nice dark mods in the extra kit but no 1.5 unit ctrl and alt keys in dark which means the extra kit is only targeting people with newer boards.This is the thing that would keep me from buying this set. Why can't the dark mods be like the SKIDATA+ color kit.
Granted, it's a special set so you can't keep the price too high.
It would make more sense to have some 1.5 mods. It didn't really need hhkb support as much.

Just the poll. The poll's been up there for a while. https://www.massdrop.com/vote/gmk-keycap-sets/result
The total number of votes is over 600, but SNES has over 300. Still, it's in the lead by a huge margin.

If all the keys are R4 does that mean they will be interchangeable like DSA? I.e. If you wanted to have a Dvorak/Colemak layout?
I've never seen an all R4 Cherry layout, does anyone have any pictures as examples?
I think that it means that the bottom row is all R4 instead of R4+R5 like some other sets.

I was into ALPS several years ago and then, I learned there was no high quality key caps for ALPS, later I found that Cherry double shots are some of the best key caps you can use and that they are only available for Cherry mount, since then, I changed to Cherry and I am very happy now, typing on this super nice OGs.

It will be a long time before we get anything near the level of thickness as GMK/JTK or BSP/Gateron, but there are some OG doubleshots and dye subs that are I'd say .5mm shy of the thickness of the Cherry equivalent. Thick for Alps, kinda thick for Cherry. Strangely, the thick ABS Alps caps seem to heighten the pitch (compared to the Tai Hao DS caps). PBT definitely lowers it.
Yeah, this set is gonna be great. It's creating almost the same spark that Jukebox and the prospect of having a red Octagon did in combination. Now having a Silver Octagon with a Titanium Grey alu base + this set is just calling to me. Ahh, I'm so hopeless in this hobby!

To be honest, I'm not sure. I think Black with the SNES lavender color looks rather nice, but it might look okay with RGB or famicom RGBY, though I'm not japanese or european so the Famicom colors don't really resonate as much with me as the SNES purple and lavender. I do have a Club Nintendo Classic SNES controller for my Wii that I got from the UK that uses the PAL-region's famicom colored buttons, but that's about it.
I think I'd prefer lavender for the black keys if I had to give a straight answer.

Bcck in the days of my ALPS, I got a Focus 2001 keyboard that had very nice double shots, one of the best I was able to get, however they were still thin, maybe on par with SP DCS but nothing close to GMK.

Yeah, there aren't many thick Alps caps out there, but there was one particular manufacturer (maybe Alps themselves? IDK) who put out pretty thick caps.
(http://i.imgur.com/7TQcHPE.jpg)
These are the highest quality caps I've yet to find on any Alps board. Doubleshot ABS and Dye-subbed PBT shown next to GMK ABS and Gateron PBT in Cherry profile.
http://imgur.com/a/vi8ts
An album with a few more pics and some measurements of the thickest sides on each cap. The Alps DS cap is surprisingly thick on one side, but the tinnest side is .89mm so it has a lot of variance. The PBT alps cap is overall thicker on average.
I'd say they're not too far off from GMK/JTK or BSP/Gateron

As for the GB numbers on MD - it doesn't matter all that much, plus it's a GMK set so it won't be as cheap as SP sets are. TA was like... 99 even after it hit the lowest price point, right?

Post by: swimmingbird on Mon, 23 November 2015, 21:17:22
Uh, for the uninitiated what are bars and scoops?
The homing keys of the keyboard (F and J) are usually made to feel different than other keys so touch typists can easily find their way to the home row position
On most keyboards this is done through bars/nibs - a raised bar shape portion of the keycap surface below the legend
On scoops, there is no bar but instead the homing keys are shaped more convexly, like a U shape on top rather than the flat --- shape of other keys

So because this is GMK we won't see this outside of a GB, right?

Kinda bummed it will resemble more of a super famicom than a snes controller but I have a feeling once I get it I'll love the colors.
So because this is GMK we won't see this outside of a GB, right?
To your second question: Aside from aftermarket sales, probably not.
Also, those in North America were the only ones who got an SNES with the purple and lavender color scheme.

This is how it looked in PAL regions. So, this key cap set is kind of a blend of all territories, haha. I think if the arrow keys were given the lavender and purple colorscheme, it'd kind of put too much weight on that color since the F-row or number stripe would also be the same color. This gives it more variety.

Now that I think about it you're probably right about it depending on the lavender/purple too much, that's why they pay you the big bucks.
So I'm right in thinking that it's WASZ so that it resembles a D-pad? Would you happen to know if WASZ has been used before?

Oh, I'm rolling in the dough, hahaha. :blank:
Don't worry, I thought the same thing until that retro Wii Classic Controller caught my eye a few years back.
As far as WASZ, I don't think so! The WASZ and [ ; ' / sets are definitely intended to replicate the look of the controller, so yep! WASZ is a D-pad while the other set is for the face buttons.
Another cool touch would be to add black V and M keys to the set so it can mimic the start and select buttons too, but I don't think we'll be seeing that.

Also, I'm sure you're prepping yourself, but, just in case, be prepared for any snide remarks in the drop about "mixed colors" or "transparent caps" or anything else.
I for one love TA and have no issues with it, and I'm just as ecstatic about this drop. But I'm sure there'll be others, as evidenced from other drops, who will post negatively just for the sake of it.

It would fit the theme better seeing as it's designed with the idea of a gaming console in mind.

This may be true for stock colors, but SNES will be using custom-matched colors which means a much higher MOQ. I believe Triumph Adler, which had custom colors, had an MOQ of 500 or 750.Just finishing up the pricing, it won't be long.

Yeah I imagine that the custom colours would still have a pretty steep MOQ but 150 for regular colors is insane

That was with a lot of support from users that had bad experiences with the set (their first GMK set, for many), so I don't think we can count on all of those people coming back for another. :-/

Yeah I do think though that the issues though were brought up by probably a very vocal section of the community
I still see TA sets go pretty quickly on /r/mechmarket - I don't think the broader community's hunger for GMK is so easily disturbed

anyone thinks the MOQ drop is a response to JTK entering the market?
Don't know about that
Hard to say as people always said that the enthusiast segment was tiny for GMK. It is possible that they lost some of their B2B business (wouldn't be surprising in this economic environment) and are maybe shifting some attention to the enthusiast side of things
It's difficult to understand what this move means means because of the way that GMK's pricing is opaque to the average GH user - only GB runners know how much everything costs and they rarely share that info. We don't know what has happened with pricing...
For all we know they've picked up on how much people are willing to spend on keysets and cranked the prices up and lowered MOQ. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case given how much SKIDATA+ cost
Post by: lishi on Wed, 09 December 2015, 19:16:02
Owning both GMK and JTK sets, I can say that if I had to choose between the two, GMK would win 10/10 times. The quality is simply better and any reason for a lowering of MOQ is probably a response to the increased exposure of custom keycap sets that are being requested by the community rather than business due to the rise of popularity of mechanical keyboards.
Post by: Glenmael on Wed, 09 December 2015, 20:38:11

Hmm I own a few GMK sets and to be fair (and for the price) JTK is very very comparable. I guess this type of thing is always subjective anyhow.

There just seem to be more problems in the JTK set. Granted, this was the first run so I'm sure the issues will get figured out, but one huge issue is the incompatibility with the R3 caps with bottom mounted LED's and the fact that the enter key will come off on the Novatouch.

Aside from a few legend issues and some scratched/scuffed keys here and there JTK has had an impressive debut
I'm sure that Cherry's first run of keycaps aren't of the same standard that we see today from GMK

New launch date is ~Fri the 18th, we decided to delay it to not clash with the White Fox GB, and to let people get paid again. :p . Just hang tight a bit longer!
Could you share here the last mockups, just as teasers?

Dunno about Star Citizen, but I'm assuming he just means that Star Wars comes out next week.

I want this set but can't commit until after the holidays. How long will the order/payment window be open?
It'd be nice if it gets a timespan as long as the Whitefox. I mean, with a order cap of 1000 and 16 days left, there's no way that all that time is even going to be needed for that drop unless they keep stretching the order limit. It's already at 500+ now.
So yeah, hopefully this set can get some similar leverage to make everyone happy.

They usually have the extended days to get in one more pay period for people in giving them a chance to join the buy, sales usually slow down once they get closer to the limit. It will most likely be the same for GMK SNES as well.

Ahh, that's something I hadn't considered, but that's a very good point. A little financial cushioning in the way of more time is definitely a nice thing.

Here's to hoping the GB is open for a decent amount of time as stated above, with the holidays so close my wallet has taken a solid beating the last few weeks.
Triumph Adler was run for 2 weeks and that seems like a sort of standard time for keysets on Massdrop
My bet is on 2 weeks but I wouldn't be surprised if it ran longer given that I imagine GMK won't even be open / taking orders until the new year

But imo definitely a must have set either way! :)

Well, since I have a 75%, I need the number pad in order to maintain a correct profile on the extra column. Intelli suggested simply using the correct legends (and not worrying about profile), while swimmingbird suggested using number pad keys (correct profile, inaccurate legends), so I've become torn.
See, I need one full number pad set for my Lightpad, so it won't work with just one.
This will also help MQO a teensy bit.
We shall see! This is gonna be a steep MQO. I hope we hit it.

No worries, any stepped cap looks awesome, and it is so minor detail that it does not matter at all, you did a great job with the set and to have all those options included in it is a first, along with great pricing, hats off. I cannot say it any louder or bolder.

There should be some link to these interest check threads on there, so people can see why choices were made and what the set is all about. People coming into a buy blind are understandably thrown off by the high price, but the endless questions and comments don't help anything. I basically never view the MD discussion pages because it's pointless.
intelli, is there any way to cleanly and succinctly summarize these common questions in the description for every GMK buy?
Post by: HoffmanMyster on Fri, 18 December 2015, 11:11:06
To be fair, the original point of the site was to get significant deals off MSRP items from major brands. With the proliferation of items on it now more akin to crowdsourcing, they should really consider removing MSRP pricing altogether from certain items.. it just doesn't make any sense.
Agreed. In fact, they should put the price point for a single custom set from GMK as the MSRP. :)) Or 500x$120, since you'd do that instead of paying GMK for one set. So set MSRP at $60,000 and see if people complain then.

The funniest are when new people think they're buying an actual keyboard and then realize later on it's just for keycaps. Then they go on a rant at how outrageous that is. Those are my favorite.

That makes sense.I'm in! One set for the moment; If I can get things together within two weeks, then I'll be ordering two!Two? Can I ask why two?
I thought I loved snes alot. But, I guess my love isn't as strong as yours.
Well, since I have a 75%, I need the number pad in order to maintain a correct profile on the extra column. Intelli suggested simply using the correct legends (and not worrying about profile), while swimmingbird suggested using number pad keys (correct profile, inaccurate legends), so I've become torn.
See, I need one full number pad set for my Lightpad, so it won't work with just one.
This will also help MQO a teensy bit.
We shall see! This is gonna be a steep MQO. I hope we hit it.
I have struggled with that, too.
That's why I love the hyper fuse set. It supports my 75 percent.
Most key sets have it setup where you have to decide between legend accuracy and profile to get the extra keys onto that right column.
I'm using this snes set for my 60 percent.
The only thing that would be great for this set imo is a matching purple spacebar.
Maybe I should try making an ic for a matching purple spacebar gb. Maybe I can also include matching 75 percent and 1800 support. Lol!

If I'm super pinched for cash and can't swing the extra set, I do have a dark grey Gateron PBT blank set that seems to match with the grey of my legit SNES controller, so... There's that! One of those for R3 and a R4 blank from the SNES set, and I should be golden.
If not, swimmingbird has me covered since he isn't going to be using any of his numpad sets. :)
I would like to order two, but I ordered three Alpine Winter Alps sets, a ton of blanks, and the Octagon v2 is impending, plus I bombed $120 on an Alps board, plus I have ANOTHER vintage Alps board I've really wanted that I plan to buy after New Years, which should go for around $100, so I'd be like setting myself back $800-1000 on that if I clocked in two GMK SNES sets. That'd be over $300 alone, I believe.
The keyboard game, man. What am I doing with my life. :P
This will be my first GMK set though, so that'll be sick! I can't wait. Truth be told, if ordered both, I'd be half-tempted to mod the second set for Alps, but don't tell anyone. :-X I'd get lynched.
That consarned R3 key just to the right of the Enter key is always the culprit that kills it! I could definitely squeeze it if i was going for legend accuracy. The Gateron idea might work for profile accuracy, with blanks on R3 and first R4 row from the top.
I'm diggin that purple space bar idea. Maybe an IC for a lavender and purple one to pick and choose?
Matching 75% and 1800 support? Now you're getting crazy!

OMG the Massdrop comments are incredible... :confused:
Are they really that bad? Should I bother looking? :-X
No, don't waste your time or brain cells. "OMG y so expensive? Only saving $5? Massdrop sucks. Unsubscribing from email list. You guys are the worst ever."
I'm on page 4. This has been an interesting exercise. :confused:
I used to respond helpfully to every comment like that a couple of months ago. Now I know why some people get steamed by them.
Truly, those Massdrop admins are saints.
There should be some link to these interest check threads on there, so people can see why choices were made and what the set is all about. People coming into a buy blind are understandably thrown off by the high price, but the endless questions and comments don't help anything. I basically never view the MD discussion pages because it's pointless.
intelli, is there any way to cleanly and succinctly summarize these common questions in the description for every GMK buy?
These people don't even read the comments before their's which answer their questions, you think they'd read the 20+ page interest checks?
I stopped reading Massdrop comments to avoid the headaches it brings.

See my previous post:
To be fair, the original point of the site was to get significant deals off MSRP items from major brands. With the proliferation of items on it now more akin to crowdsourcing, they should really consider removing MSRP pricing altogether from certain items.. it just doesn't make any sense.
I really like this set, but my only current board is a Filco. Blah!
The majority of people who frequent Massdrop are not keyboard enthusiasts. They are, by and large, people addicted to purchasing things and "always looking for a deal". They do not belong to Geekhack, Deskthority, /r/MechanicalKeyboards, or any enthusiast community devoted to keyboards.
Some of the posts at MD reflects a total lack of awareness of basic knowledge on keyboard's key cap quality, I am not sure if answering them back may remediate that with some lines.
Sometimes it's important to remind oneself that when posting on a public forum, the goal isn't so much to educate that one specific person you are replying to, so much as it is anyone who happens to read said comment and reply. There are equal parts ignorant folks who don't care, and ignorant folks who genuinely want to learn and understand more. Sparking their interest brings more people into this "hobby", or whatever you'd like to call it really. The Geekhack community grew over time from knowledgeable individuals spreading their information across various mediums (Youtube) along with increasing of GBs and the like.

Fair, but I still don't get the impulse to go in and announce what you aren't buying. I could go in and **** all over the talk threads of whatever ultralight/quilting/etc stuff the keyboard-thread-****ters are buying instead--"loooool $40 for a tiny aluminum can? i can just go buy tupperware at Ikea for $2 a piece"--but I don't, because I know my input isn't worth a damn over there. I'm not in that community and I don't know jack about it.
I guess the difference is a lot of people are sort of casually into mech kbs, to the extent that they are relatively knowledgeable compared to the general population, but not really on even a true enthusiast level. But still. I'm sort of "casually" into headphones and have some decent cans, but I'm not going into the $900 Audeze threads or whatever and talking about how overpriced it is. I'm sure to people who care more about minute differences in audio quality they're worth it. Who cares if I'm not buying them? I'm not the intended audience.

Mayne, I have a SNES Classic Wii controller, and they only came out in the PAL and NTSC-J territories! :P I dig the "smarties" buttons of the NTSC SNES, but I also like the skittles buttons of the PAL and such. :D
To clarify, I just don't see how it could have been implemented well into the keyset as a main color scheme. Purple and Lavender are a bit more subtle and gel with the gray colors well. It seems that the PAL SNES uses a darker more brownish grey whereas the NTSC SNES controller uses a more blueish grey in the ring around the face buttons.
Maybe with mods that were that darker brownish grey, alphas staying the same with... I dunno, black legends? And the F row + top three of the nav cluster being RGBY for each four sets keys (as in Red - F1-F4 - Green F5-F8, etc). That might have looked kinda cool.

Pff... I got that Wii CC when first it came out! Ended up selling it since I owned a SNES Mini and play SNES games on that only, including EarthBound!
I love the 60% mockups for this set. I wasn't completely sold on this until I saw that. Now I must have it.

Most game consoles here share US region, Nintendo in particular does it, just for the record. But, who cares? we love GMK SNES as it is and this discussion is futile.

Yes, I just said that. North America includes Mexico, after all. :P
Let me clarify, I said in the beginning that this wasn't something I drew up to derail the thread; it was something I made as a vision for what a PAL version would look like. Not as a suggestion to intelli. Heck, even the alphas and mods are different colors, along with the arrow cluster, haha.
It was made in response to the comments on MassDrop from people who did not share nostalgia with this set, that's all.
Hell, I'd love to run it myself, I guess because I feel empathetic toward the European and Japanese players (I bought this set BTW), but with the vast unawareness of the PAL regions and the smaller amount of people who owned those in comparison to us, the NTSC players, it probably wouldn't be successful unless it was run under a different company.

Hell, I'd love to run it myself, I guess because I feel empathetic toward the European and Japanese players (I bought this set BTW), but with the vast unawareness of the PAL regions and the smaller amount of people who owned those in comparison to us, the NTSC players, it probably wouldn't be successful unless it was run under a different company.
Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood that. I thought you were meaning that NTSC does not include Mexico, but rereading your post I see that you didn't say that at all.
I love the set the way it is, though!

Shouldn't this be in the Massdrop vendor area now?
I think we'll leave this one here because of the level of community involvement in the planning process. But yes, as a general rule, Massdrop buys will now be located in their vendor area.

Is there any GMK set with White on Light Gray modifiers I could use in combination with snes to get a similar look? :)
Only set I can think of is Dolch, which has white on (unfortunately very dark) gray modifiers.
Would be pretty happy if someone could refer me to one to hunt for! xD

intelli, can you confirm the drop points? I've seen you say 1,000 was the price drop point, but Massdrop says 500.
The 500 that MD has is the MOQ, not the price drop point. Because of some problem with MD's system, they don't usually program in all the points on drops like this. Regardless, I think intelli mentioned that there wouldn't be a price drop, but rather more keys added to the base kit if it hits that point.

I think I saw something along the lines of what you mentioned on reddit. Just wanted to make sure it was in fact 500 and not 250 for moq since some people were saying GMK changed moq to 250.

I am fairly certain that's wrong guys, it says right at the top of the drop in the grey box that the MOQ is 250, and there is a price drop at 500.

Post by: livingspeedbump on Thu, 24 December 2015, 11:48:42
I do find myself wishing there was a way to get standard F-Row colors for the dark mods as well as the standard set, outside of the Purple ones. I never seem to keep non-standard color layout kits on my boards for very long.

Ive seen the discussion going on earlier, and I know gmk used to do 500 sets moq before,
but massdrop clearly states there is a 250 sets moq on this.
Also wasn't there something about gmk being lowered to 250 sets for standard colors anyway?

I hate to shatter your dreams, but the 250 MOQ is on the FX kit and that only matters if the main set hits 500. :(

It's a shame - personally I dig it way more than hyperfuse and most of the other recent GBs that made it to production. Troubled minds got 983 orders and doesn't come remotely close, aesthetically. Granted that has the funny business of lots of child deals so probably not 500 sets ordered, but even still.
Post by: Steezus on Mon, 28 December 2015, 17:31:37
We probably need some vendors to step in with an interest in later resale if we're going to make MOQ, at this point. I don't know if MD really has interest in discounting some sets for that purpose and I don't know which if any vendors would want to take a $5-10k risk on a set that's currently struggling to generate interest. :-/

I'm pretty sure that Massdrop counts each kit as an order, so if you have one order but buy four kits then MD counts that as four overall. I know it was like that during the Granite runs but it could have changed by now.

Well, obviously the majority of folk disagree with me :P
Wasn't intended as a slam - I've just been following this from the first IC post and think it's a great set. So it's somewhat frustrating to see it not do as well as sets I was less interested in! But diff'rent folks, diff'rent strokes, and all that.

Very colorful, but not overdone, very nice use of the gamer set to harken to the SNES's D-pad and start/select button colors along with the PAL/Jp color scheme.
I really thought this would boom up to the MQO in no time, but I think that this set was just dropped at the wrong time. Maybe wait a few months and try this again, Intelli. I'm sure it'd be successful if it wasn't squished between both a bunch of GBs and the holiday season. :thumb:
That is, only if this DOESN'T make it.
I hope it does. :( I'm in with just one set + the super FX/gamer set, though I'd love to do two, but financial priorities will not allow such things.

I've committed just in case it drops, but I doubt that will happen. I thought this set would reach 500+ within a couple of days. It's been said before but I think if this was released at a different time in the year then it would of easily met the MDQ but I guess things like WhiteFox amongst other drops drained everyone's wallets before we had a chance to look at this. I hope there is a retry at reaching the MDQ at some other point in the year. :'(
I was a little sad myself to see this so hyped and then just kind of meh out. As you said, I hope they can retry because it is such a lovely set.

I wish a vendor would buy the sets needed, but I doubt that'll happen.
Yea honestly this is probably the only way, but not sure if it being on massdrop puts it out of the realm of possibility... :-/
Plus if you're a vendor I really wonder how willing you'd be to take that big a monetary risk on a set that doesn't appear to be garnering the expected amount of interest. I guess the argument would be - it's just bad timing and it would've hit MOQ otherwise, so stocking up now means you'll be able to resell once more people have the cash.

Post by: gadzkun on Sat, 02 January 2016, 00:45:52
i want to share my opinion.
GMK set is an "enthusiast" caps. so why dont make a keyset that support many layout since its for "enthusiast"
i think many enthusiast out there not use a normal layout board.
so IMO maybe change the addon keys on base kit
(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/gmk-snes-keycap-set/MD-13741_20151217190216_ef40fb2d557edea5.jpg?auto=format&fit=crop&w=761&dpr=1)
with keys that support more layout will boost an order. and make you target market more wider.
and maybe yeah we all on a tight budget on long holiday like this.

There is not much to say about the drop at this point in time, with only one day left and over three hundred orders to reach MoQ; however, it is a good case to learn from, some "issues" with the set were its timing, of course, some small details that could improve its layout coverage and its unique color combination that some of us like, but many others do not. Finally, the two relatively recent group buys that have reached MoQ they were both run here at GH, Miami Nights and Skidata, of course, those set were more classic that allows more interested parties to join.I think the Christmas time hurt the most.
The other major item might be lack of 1800 or 75 percent sort.
This is an enthusiast set. It's already expensive so people are usually in or out depending on what it supports versus price.
So, a small increase in price might not factor in that much.
I was actually thinking about trying to do a small gb just to get the missing keys. Of course, I wouldnt know where to begin with it but maybe next time.

I surely don't think there's any reason in the design why it didn't work. Obviously it isn't going to be as universal in taste as say TA, but it should have tipped.

I surely don't think there's any reason in the design why it didn't work. Obviously it isn't going to be as universal in taste as say TA, but it should have tipped. Really was just poor timing.It does seem to reach MoQ, unless 300 plus people decide to join today. It is a shame, I let passed some other buys to get this too.
Well, on the bright side the hard work is already done. Small tweaks can be made and timing can be better and it can be run again ;)
You cannot be more right. I hope this set to get another chance.
I know I'm wary of hopping on a MD GMK buy because of packaging and the difference between what was expected color wise and what was delivered.
I'm sure this one is failing because of that, cost, the number of add-on kits that have to hit the large MOQ to make it, and a lack of trust in GMK with custom colors after the last buy.

Maybe I could've done better, in any case I wait for approval before final render. I agree the gradients were a poor choice for the backgrounds. I ask keyset designers what background they want, and it's usually a white background like what I did for this set's renders.

the price is a little bit high -> I think yes
but, I think the problem is MOQ of this set.
as I recognized, they need to reach 500 set (not sure).
but as I know, most of GMK keysets group buy only need 150 set to place an order to GMK.
why did SNES need so much of MOQ like that? because of custom color or something?
hope to see this keyset relaunch again with better condition of MOQ.

The MOQ was so high because of custom colors. However GMK adjusted their conditions and right now they are more community friendly, even if you want to use 3 custom colors. In this regard, if GMK SNES is going to drop again it will get most probably a moq of 150 (like Carbon which has also 3 custom colors). Thus it will be succesful next time.
I think poor timing is what really killed this GB, but I feel like it'll be successful if slotted in at a better opportunity.
Dont think it was the timing. For example i was on the fence to get into it. However i wanted the accent mods badly but was not ready to pay 200+ bucks for it. Splitting stuff that really makes the set from the base set is not good in my opinion. And guess i am not the only one who did not get into because of that reason. In my opinion for the better success the base set has to include the accent mods. The gray mods can be done as a addon (for those who like them).

The light purple is impressive at the first sight when you put forward this color-way , now remain unchanged.
The MOQ for customize color(such as light purple) in GMK have changed from 500 (TA) to 150(carbon) then to 250 in GMK plum. i think you would check it with GMK on this GMK sens.

Yes! Super would be good, at a minimum. Even better would be the Super Famicom symbol or "SNES" in the font of the Super Nintendo logo:

Please for the love of god, don't open this drop. My wallet can't handle this abuse.
A nice "after x-mas" drop would be nice.... or better yet an "after taxes" drop would be perfect for me! Buying no matter what though, the only difference will be if I have my extra kidney or not.

All keyboard stuff should be tax deductible. A good keyboard may save hundreds of downtime hours due to carpal tunnel disorders.

Agreed, we should for sure wait until the new year. Gotta play the long game here.

Unless the spot is already set up, i don't think any new GBs w/ GMK are going to be any earlier than March at this point. Plum is set for Feb and that's been in place for a while now.
Post by: hashbaz on Mon, 05 December 2016, 16:03:11
At this point I don't think it needs to be said. There's no way a GMK buy would start two weeks before christmas.
Folks can start hyping/doing interest checks/taking orders whenever though. That's what we should wait on, to avoid holiday wallet fatigue.

Massdrop is not communicating much with me. Not sure what the deal is. I'll post when there is an update.
Is that normal? As regular customer MD's regular behavior is not answering any message at all. It took me like half a year for a claim to be answered. But it is really surprising they behave the same with designers.

they're busy for taking an orders for GMK Retro i guess.
when i knew that GMK Plum was set on Feb I really want you to try another way like originative,keyclack,etc . ..
not sure if it possible but MD is too busy right now, if the plan still be MD i think it will take a while for re-lunch again.

I think Hyperkin's thing may (mildly) undercut this, unfortunately: http://hyperkinlab.com/hyper-clack-tactile-mechanical-keyboard-for-pc-hyperkin/
I definitely would rather get a real GMK set than a board with cheap switches and cheap caps but that might make it a little harder to make MoQ unfortunately :< I still intend to back this 100% of the way, I'd rather have a nice GMK set than a cheap gaote blue keyboard.

Massdrop seems to be trending record sales with each new set they add. This set would REALLY hit people's nostalgia! I know it does for me! It would be the next record-topper for sure.I hope that's the case. Unfortunate that GMK Retro failed. I think timing is key, making sure it drops when people actually have money to get it.

I think there are way more people with nostalgia for the SNES than the Commodore. But yeah, here's hoping!

I think GMK Retro failed because it looked like complete s*** compared to the SA version.

I think it looked fine. I think it mostly was just the way the kits were handled, plus the renders weren't even properly done by the time the drop went. It just wasn't set up properly and rushed into the GB phase.

It's why I ran my group buy myself. GMK sets of this size run $100-105 at cost... the $150-160 we see these posted at is because the designer fronts the money rather than doing it as a group buy. It's the reward they get for the risk of fronting the money.

I understand it's the reward they get for the risk. But there are so many people wanting this, it's probably lower odds to fail than Trump getting in office, Patriots comeback, and Brexit :))
Personally, I think the best way to run this would be running a group buy with the guarantee of success. For example, the MOQ is 250 and we have a user or two (hey) that will already fund the 250. We then start the GB knowing it will be a success, and be sold later on, but people can join before we decide how many sets total. So if 250 sets are bought beforehand, then it means the users putting money down for success don't have to any more. If there are only 200 bought, then the users buy the remaining 50 etc.
Settling for the large markup and limiting the quantity would be silly when we know this'll be a success. It's just having the balls to do it (and intellis permission).

Text or icon mods?
I love icon mods, but I think text mods would suit the theme better... *COUGH COUGH* [select/start mods pls] *AHEMMM*

Hello again! I am really happy that everyone is so excited about this set, and I appreciate all the supportive PMs.
Good news: I am working with Livingspeedbump to update the set, and we've finalized the drop plans with Massdrop. The drop should be happening sometime in Q2 and I will provide more updates when I have them.
This set might just be the thing to finally break the hold I've put on spending money on this hobby. :-X Hnnngggg

It's a render (or maybe engineering sample?) of the extent with my "top-notch" Photoshop skills placing the gmk SNES on top. I'm also excited for gmk pyro because that has more of the original NES theme, although unintentional, which will prob pair well with the keyb also.

Hopefully the kit will include a dark purple enter this time. For those of us without function rows, the only key right now would be ESC.
I second this, that'd be very nice indeed.

Plum had tons of those comments but it still sold what, 1500 sets or something? All we need is 150 so I think the market is big enough for that to happen, especially depending on whatever changes were made to the set (could entice more people).
MOQ for GMK is 250 though? Plum would make me optimistic if SNES didn't already fail hard on Massdrop for the exact reason I already stated. Plum seems to be a huge outlier. My guess is that the colors were exotic enough to make people see that it was "special". Also the hype that one of the few female members of the community was behind it.
I really hope it is successful this time but I guess I'm just not trying to get my hopes up. REALISTIC HYPE!

Why would female community member hype?....
Regardless, with millions of SNES sold (and then even resold) as well drop requests MOQ is in the bag. so long as kits can accommodate all the funky board layouts.

Well here's what happened. Andy and I got the set all finalized with GMK and updated renders, then MD was like, "yeah btw we might not be able to fit it in this year after all." And haven't heard a peep from them since.

Well MD is booked on keyboard stuff till the end of the year I'd imagine. Carbon's still running for another 20 days, then Nautilus is coming round, then Laser is some time after that, then Oblivion SA after that... probably a bunch of sets we aren't aware of as of yet as well being picked up so I'd imagine that's why Massdrop can't make room for this till later as Intelli said.

you're right - i read that wrong. so either someone has to take on payments and shipping, or we find a vendor that has capacity to do it?
the good news is GMK is keyed up, ready to go. just need to get the set into the production lineup.

According to canadapost.ca a small packet international would be 12$.
If you get the chance to run this pls atleast provide proper shipping and don't make half of us use proxys.

Hey! Could I ask why you would prefer it to ship from lets say, canada to you? With tax and VAT etc, wouldn't it be better if you could purchase it from within the EU to save all the headache of importation? Just wondering :D

Uhhhh I only see options for Canada and Conus shipping on Mechkeys?
Please tell me if the set finally gets made I'll be able to order one, have been waiting way too long for this...
Uhhh prob need a Euro/Asia proxy, otherwise cost would be quite a bit.
According to canadapost.ca a small packet international would be 12$.
If you get the chance to run this pls atleast provide proper shipping and don't make half of us use proxys.

Importation isn't much of an issue, but going trough a proxy seems way to much of hassle.
Depending on price (and type) of items you receive, you might even end up paying only VAT so no additional tax on top, and VAT is taxed on everything (even when bought in Germany).
So importation fee wise it might be as cheap as buying local.
Even if shipping cost from Canada is higher (which it should not) it doesn't justify the pain of having to use a proxy.
Not offering international shipping is just laziness of resellers in most cases imo

I mean, not really, do they? When it is in stock, yes, they are pricey. But group buys usually run the same as everyone else. $130 to $150 based on sets sold, i would presume.

Agreed, I jumped on Sherry's Miami Nights Group Buy, and it was $135. Very reasonable group buy prices.

GMK Blue Alert. Set is shipping to people who placed order as we speak. I got my set on Monday :)
Sherry is extremely wonderful to work with.

The difference normally is between GB which pricing is standard, or stock items which they pay upfront for, so there is a higher cost to the consumer. Hope that it is GB style and not FCFS in-stock!

Well I can assure you that there is no laziness on my part. I've been shipping to EU/UK/Japan/China/Australia for everything I sell for the past year on mechkeysca. The reason you don't see a shipping price for product on my site on INTL orders is because it has to be paypal invoiced after the fact. Rates change, I can't do a flat rate like everything else.If you would like to discuss fulfillment on this group buy just send a private message at your earliest convenience.

Regarding the "GMK SNES“ sets my colleague just told me, that he is in contact with another retailer.
Obviously the designer already transferred this project to this retailer. Therefore we can’t send a quote as long as the other one is pending.
I guess we wait for things to be announced? Maybe Intelli can clarify?
Edit: Intelli, you should make it clear what's happening. A lot of people have been waiting for way too many months for no movement. Are you able to give permission or is it in someone elses hands now?

So we can reasonably expect SNES to cost 180 USD then?
If Sherry decides to buy them all in advance for profit, then yeah.
If he runs a GB, it'll be $125 or so.
Having this discussed as a community interest check doesn't make it a candidate for a second round group buy? or how a privately owned for profit buy could be justify?

We don't plan to pre-purchase this, so we will definitely be hosting a group buy. The problem is the cost won't be $125 like all of our other great group buys.
Many points going into the price is stronger Euro (weaker USD) and the number of keys. Right now, we're almost at 200+ keys strong for this set. Andy (livingspeedbump) and I are working on dropping some of the keys. There's also going to be samples needed as I don't own the original SNES anymore. We're going to have to make purchases, but these are minor adds.
Are you guys interested in keys like these?

Things like these definitely add on to the cost. We're planning to go for the text+icons to give it a classy old school look.

Awesome! Thanks for the update Sherry! Definitely in for all the above, those hhkb arrow keys are AWESOME. So so so happy this set is back on the books, even if it takes a bit to iron things out. I am in, and I will wait til it's ready to go!

When should I be saving money for?

Just wanna throw it here: R4 1.5u Select & Start instead of usual Super/Code :thumb:
Perhaps select for 1.5u and start for enter/return?

I actually like the idea of it on the Windows / Code.

i'll second that. SELECT/START could replace all windows/code keys as far as i care
e: would like to see them done in N9 dolch base and black legends

I am moving all discussion to here, https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92050.msg2505270#msg2505270. We will open a group buy page when ready :)
Thanks roost for helping a lot too!
