How long is this expected to run. I see its supposed to start this month, trying to figure out how long I would have to save up the cash.

Wait so long.
When can we buy?

The samples are on their way to me now. After I check them, I'll be making some small adjustments and getting some colour samples remade to tweak the blue. I want to have the colour sorted before we head into GB so that everybody knows exactly what they are getting into.

How long do you commonly run them for?

KBDfans typically have group buy windows of 4 weeks.

Here are some photos I've just taken.

The blue needs to be a tad darker but I'm pretty happy how this is looking.
Some of the alignments need to be fixed and the "Sys Rq" green is off so hopefully, they will get it right in the next batch.

Looks like a pretty sweet set. I like the blue accents.

I think it's hard for us to tell what the blue really looks like in person. I'll let Gok be the judge. For me, blue is one of the hardest colors to accurately capture in photos. That and yellow... and orange, and red... I can't get any color to represent well in photos

I'll be taking more pics later but I can say that I am not happy with the quality of the spacebars that I've received. The base of the keycap looks faded and the colour overall is inconsistent.

There seems to be a divide between those that like the current blue and those that want it darker. I'll be going for darker on the next round of samples and I'll decide which I like best after I compare them.

Regarding capturing colour in photos, I'd say white is definitely the hardest because it is affected so much from lighting conditions as you can see from my photos of Kuro/Shiro. You always need a frame of reference for it to get an idea of what it looks like in person.

You do what you gotta do. I was just voicing that I like that blue tone, but you go with the best color for your design.

Oh well, it's your design. I still dig it. Been thinking it would be nice to do a bunch of accent sets from epbt. You could do all sorts of color combos with a set like 9009.

But the whole idea is to remake a Cherry G81-3000SAT keyset so gok is working towards that. There's an accent kit in the OP that's not in the original keyset. Overpowering this keyset with non-original add-ons... I don't know if that's really worth it. It's a beautiful keyset by itself, even without accents.

Curious about the darker blue, let's see it. I really like the white and the beige here, very subtle and elegant. This is gonna be gut.

yap68 · « **Reply #232 on:** Wed, 17 July 2019, 02:26:46 »

I always prefer injecting some subtle modifications into an original keyset rather than just another replication.

No I totally get it. And I tend to start with accent moods and then ditch them for the plain look. My 9009 set is currently all beige.

I am pretty sure you can just get a L9 Split spacebars from Hineybush spacebar GB since he has extras for pre order. https://hineybush.com/products/gmk-og-spacekeys If you are willing to put extra cash to the side it will work out

It's something KBDfans wants to do but I'm unsure whether they will be running this alongside or as a separate GB.
It would be easier for them to do it together because it would use the same setup for the side printing.
