Thanks for the countless blender questions which you answered, the cases you redesigned so they’d be easier to work with and reminding me that I should’ve used texture legends and good keycap geometry. :p

Colors:
For the colors I wanted a simple look that kind of resembles a mountain.
The 4012 is a gray with a hint of purple as to not make this a boring gray set.
The WS2 resembles the Snow and the beautiful Edelweiss, the national Swiss flower.

Candykeys seem to have some linking problems for this set. The link on Candykeys start page does not work and GMK Apline does not show on Group-Buys page there.

Do you have a photo of a physical color sample, and/or RAL or Pantone colors we can use as a reference? It's hard to tell what color this will be IRL based on the renders.

This is the best image I was able to get. This is in insanely strong lighting and looks a bit oversaturated due to me not having a proffessional camera and having to use my phone.

What's the procedure in this case for the NorDeUK kit if it doesn't hit MOQ? Will CK buy it out?

So that means no vendor won't buy out the NorDeUK kit if it doesn't hit MOQ?

Funny thing, even though I live in Canada, I ordered through the American vendor, Kono. For a single set, the total was $50 cheaper and the shipping was $5 cheaper. I understand that this is partly due to the way that taxation and customs works, as well as differences between USPS/Canada Post, but I still found it pretty bizarre.

Ash keebs is und CAD and Kono in USD, I don't understand what you mean exactly? 190 CAD is 149 USD
Post by: mustardgreens on Sat, 09 January 2021, 14:04:27
Shipping to Toronto from ashkeebs was 25 cad, whereas shipping from kono was 20 cad.
Just found it kind of peculiar.

In my renders and in my geek hack I've always showed that the homing keys will be Barred only and the 2nd pair will have no homing at all (no bar and no scoop). I was never asked until a few minutes ago and apparently everyone just expects them to be scooped? I can still change this (I think) Please vote below. This will affect the F and J and 5 keys that currently have no homing at all.

It's standard practice to have both scoops and bars with GMK, and if you must get rid of one, I think scoops are much more popular. I think you're wasting both your time and participants' time with a poll like this.

Typically Scooped is a given for homing keys, it's also kind of hard to noticed the scooped keys in renders all the time, if you want to run a set without it best practice would be to let the customers know that your only providing barred and no homing for the set. When I discovered GMK Umbra didn't have scooped keys I was quite disappointed. It's one of the reasons why I ended up selling the set.

I never specified scooped keys in the renders, I did specify barred keys in the renders. I thought it was clear enough with the info I gave. I never knew about this standard Practice. I also don't understand why no one asked? I understand that it might be difficult to spot in the renders. Either way I don't think it's a waste of time since the people who bought the set can vote. If it happens to be scooped I'll gladly change it. :D
Luckily I was told before it was too late!
(Also currently no scoop is leading, obviously it's too early to tell)

People didn't ask because they weren't expecting to have to.

Either way, now there's a vote and if the people don't like it, they can vote! Majority wins. ;D

is there a GMK set where they're neither scooped nor barred? now I gotta go dig through...I have a couple vintage Cherry boards that don't have homing keys. They aren't great.

Color matching complete! I approved both colors, they're spot on! Really like how the purple turned out!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eXaTstK.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/vpEcMTt.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/urD6Jjt.jpg)
Those look amazing! Do you have a GMK set or two in grey or purple we can see in comparison? VoC, Plum, iris, q01, Carbon, oblivion, etc?

I don't own any purple sets sadly. I'll try to find some purple/colored objects you may know to show a comparison.

Which keys are planned to be in the grey color? Looking at the sample set images, they all appear purple/white to me?
The white keys use grey text. The purple wouldn't have fit!

What is the delivery looking like? is there going to be big delays?
Haven't heard from GMK yet. Colormatching was done and we're just waiting on GMK to catch up...

HELLO, I would like to know when GMK Alpine can be shipped to China because it has been almost a whole year since I ordered it to today
Hey, Sorry, I kinda forgot I also have to update the GH thread.
Latest we have from GMK is that they finish production in May. I don't know how accurate this is.

Are there any updates on where we are at now?

Last update was in januari and it’s long past may which was expected finish date.

Vendors have been posting that the set is in. KBDfans has extras already up. https://kbdfans.com/collections/keycaps/products/gb-gmk-alpine

is anyone else missing the 1.75u shift key from their base kits?
Should be there, double check and if it isn't there, contact your vendor!
