So I decided after seeing this set to do my first build. I'm getting the caps but I was wondering if someone could tell me who makes some of the various shells shown in the photos. Like the green TKL for example. Or the grey one underneath it.

Thanks in advance!  :D

The shells You are talking about are cases. Most of them are either already sold out or future releases. Green one resembles Rama U80-A but the colour is fictional it doesn’t exist it that colour. There is a GB for it if You wish to buy it. https://ramaworks.store/products/u80-a?variant=16277183791147

Sales have been steady everyone!

Current numbers (with a couple proxies having outdated info)

Base - 234
40's - 37
Spacebars - 136

With extras we are basically to MOQ on everything. I can confidently say that all kits will be produced for this set! Thanks to everyone who joined already. We already have color samples in hand, but want to make some slight adjustments to better fit Olivia's vision. We will keep you posted on all of that.

Agreed. Quite solid, especially considering what all is included in the base kit.
I'm talking about the spacebars and 40s kits, though. The bar graph indicates price drops for those kits at 150 units sold.

Updated numbers (all proxies are not up to date)

Base - 769
40's - 144
Spacebars - 411
Rama - 185

At this point, with the proxies numbers not being updated, I think base 1,000 is very doable.

Spacebars - 411
Rama - 185

At this point, with the proxies numbers not being updated, I think base 1,000 is very doable.

In for a Base kit, Spacebar kit, and RAMA Enter.

New to the hobby, but had to say that Olivia has a great talent for crafting soothing colorways. This color palette is very relaxing to stare at during long typing sessions. Can't wait to pair it with my future RAMA U80-A. :thumb:

And just like that, this GB is over.

We had a good burst of sales in the final day. Currently working proxies for fully updated numbers. Once I get that, I will make the final kit numbers available.

Post by: mgsickler on Mon, 01 July 2019, 17:46:52
Final numbers (includes extras!)

Base - 1,000
40's - 165
Spacebars - 516
Rama - 226

We are already in the process of color sampling. Olivia received the first colors, and we had to tweak the green slightly. The cream and black color are approved though! Expect some pictures after we get the next round of samples in.

Thanks again everyone!

Didn't notice it, but from my photo you can see the W and U look a bit off.  Same keys look off in your photos. I can't tell when it's in front of my and i'm typing though, only if I lean over the board and look from straight above.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Olive | Closed!
Post by: NimbleTortoise on Mon, 24 February 2020, 07:01:04
That's why I sold mine, though I was also disappointed in the color matching. $140 for a gmk set and GMK cannot even get the keycaps to be straight. My spacebar was also somewhat warped.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Olive | Closed!
Post by: Poesjuh on Mon, 24 February 2020, 07:17:38
Same here. I noticed it a few days ago that some of the caps looked a bit off and was wondering if that might have been soldering. I'll take another look tonight when I'm home but good chance I'm encountering the same problem.

Edit; checked, have the same issue. It's mostly (if not only) on R2 though, so that surprised me.

Not only W and U but that whole row looks off, also left shift is a bit weird or was it angle of camera?

From what I remember, the I, Y, and U were really off. Some keycaps below that wrre crooked as well, though not as bad.

Also gmk really needs to work on the numbers legends. None of them look like they're on the same plane and too much thickness inconsistencies.

I agree that the legends are not great on this as well.  Even before I saw this comment I noticed that the ? looks skinny and the shift is Shift.

Title: Re: [GB] GMK Olive | Closed!
Post by: pixelpusher on Mon, 13 April 2020, 13:25:56
Most likely, yes.  This also probably effects most GMK sets that have run since olive as well. It really isn’t that noticeable.  People are expecting too much from these plastic bits.  I have seen slight inconsistencies in almost every finished keyboard I own.  You can have issues with keycaps,  switches sometimes have slightly crooked stems, and it is also possible to have slightly rotated switches when using plate mounted switches instead of PCB mounted.  So many variables.  Don’t get too caught up in perfection.  The set is still quite nice.
