Oh nice, a gmk set to match the feel of cherry switches(https://i0.wp.com/roomescapeartist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Anakin-Skywalker-Sand-Meme.png?ssl=1)

looks neat! some small suggestions:
- 2x barred numpad 5u
- 1u shift should be 1.25u
- mixed super vs. codes
I would say cool idea but this is basically a gmk sandstorm ripoff.. or am I missing something?https://i.imgur.com/KCkOPzV.jpeg

I mean I get it, there are minor differences, but with the freedom to design literally any colour scheme, this just feels low effort.I would say cool idea but this is basically a gmk sandstorm ripoff.. or am I missing something?https://i.imgur.com/KCkOPzV.jpeg

This is in the same vein as Sandstorm no doubt, but I feel it does enough to distinguish itself from that. This has a lighter base color & is also a mixed color (looks like redish, brownish flecks mixed into the base color).

Maybe we could get GMK spice or GMK awaken or something. :p
GMK DUNE uses GMK mixed color material.

GMK awaken is an already existing set :)
I’m less concerned with it looking like Sandstorm and more concerned with it using the name Dune. I fully hoped for a good 10 years that someone would make a set themed after one of my favorite sci-fi novels. ****.

I do like color and the mixed materials idea a lot. I own Sandstorm and I would definitely buy this set as well. I’m just bummed about the name.
Its from GMK new special effects series and i think the official name is "ABS Batch Sand Beige". Samples of the new Special Effects got send to some Vendors and Designers in September/October. It was not used much yet, but i think NK used it for a Novelty in GMK Mecha Kaiju. Next year GMK TIK R2 will launch with four different special effects so everyone can get a sample for a small price easily. Will post about it soon.QuoteGMK DUNE uses GMK mixed color material.
Could you explain what this means? Are you just using a custom color? New stock GMK color? New material?

I'm not sure if the people who think this is a Sandstorm "clone" have noticed the texture added to the material. It's right there in the post.
flipper copium, no one is going to pick up their sandstorm kit for $500 now.I'm not sure if the people who think this is a Sandstorm "clone" have noticed the texture added to the material. It's right there in the post.
nah, they're just bitter and like to whine

that said, if anyone's so concerned about this set being a copy, try and push a sandstorm rerun in a reasonable timeframe, no one's stopping you.

I have never heard GMK can adjust texture. Is this something new? Perhaps dysub on top of doubleshot?
This set does look like GMK sandstorm, but it would be drastically different if somehow texture is added to it.
Personally, I do not like the texture and much prefer the color of sandstorm itself.....

I don't know what you can't see that I can, but the texture in each keycap is shown here in the OP in this sample, which differentiates this from Sandstorm:SampleShow Image(https://imgur.com/WZkiF3Q.jpg)
Considering I don't own and have never owned a set of sandstorm, it's not flipper copium. I've seen the renders of the new ABS speckles being used for this set too.flipper copium, no one is going to pick up their sandstorm kit for $500 now.I'm not sure if the people who think this is a Sandstorm "clone" have noticed the texture added to the material.

Pretty much this. Zambu has had plenty of time to rerun Sandstorm. He says vendors have not shown interest, which is intriguing since we are seeing things like Modern Materials, and now this.
Stop saying texture - this is just small, differently coloured flecks of plastic added to the base shot, It'll feel the same to the touch.
It's really not.Stop saying texture - this is just small, differently coloured flecks of plastic added to the base shot, It'll feel the same to the touch.
Texture's the right word to use, "the feel, appearance, or consistency of a surface or substance." Anyways, this is a bit asinine and splitting hairs now. You all can keep squabbling if you want.

Yeah, because GMK sandstorm was a high effort set
Will there be a Geekhack GB thread?
Seems like Cannonkeys has their GB page up and according to them it's up until December 29th at 11:59PM ET. Though where is the GB thread on Geekhack?
https://cannonkeys.com/products/gmk-dune
If a GB post never materializes for this group buy, will GMK Dune still count against lead vendor's concurrent GB limit?

It should count against the OP's concurrent GB limit. Looking at the post count, it looks like the OP didn't hit the 25 post minimum to post in the GB section so I guess that's why the OP just went ahead with the GB.
Geekhack GB thread started December 11:

I wish I saw this thread sooner, so I could post my snarky comment when it was relevant. Anyways, Zambu can now reap the fruit of his sarcastic replies to every single question about sandstorm in his discord.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

zambumon krel all these designers only reactionarily run r2s of sets they think are in danger of being copied so it makes sense he would wanna do sandstorm r2 now
