Title: [IC] GMK Dimple Homing Addon Kit
Post by: Chippy on Sat, 04 May 2024, 01:10:21

GMK Dimple Addon

This is an addon kit for dimple homing keys (R3 F and J). This type of homing key goes by many names- dimple, dot, nipple, probably more. They are my preferred type of homing key, but few sets include them.

The Kit
The kit consists of 3 colorways- Beige, Dolch, and WoB

Details
- The keys are all R3, with dot/dimple/nipple homing
- I don’t have pricing details, but I would like to see if I can get this for sale at $15-$20.
- I am not planning on taking a design cut in order to get this as cheap as possible. I just want the caps.

IC Forms
Yes, there are two. One is for potential purchasers so I can try and gauge interest in this initial kit, and see how viable this idea is. The second form is for designers that would like to submit their colorway for a potential second kit of more colors, pending interest. Because my goals here are to get caps made, I cannot offer designers compensation if they want their colors run. I hope you understand.

Designer Submission (https://forms.gle/roPErYXvkbJDd9hJ9)

Deskmats
No.

Who am I?
My name is Chippy, I’ve been in the hobby for well over five years at this point, but this is my first IC (I think?). Hopefully I didn’t miss anything. I do work professionally within the hobby space, but this set is being IC’d by me personally. I don’t have a personal discord server, so if you have feedback or questions, please post them in this thread.

Vendors
None at the moment, I want to figure out if this idea is viable first.

much prefer bars but glad this project exists, gotta have the options for the dimple enjoyers out there.

Just wondering why you didn't dimple the numpad 5, guess it adds too much to the cost. GLWIC

This has been stripped down to be as low cost as possible, which meant not including numpad 5 dimple. Also, a solid amount of sets do include that key, making it less necessary.

Thank you everyone for filling out the IC, and leaving your kind notes on this IC thread.

Due to a lack of interest, I have decided to remove BoW from the colorways, leaving us with 3- Beige, Dolch, WoB.

I am on the fence at the moment if there is enough interest in this, but I am hopeful there are enough dimple homing enthusiasts to make this happen.

If you have not already, please fill out the IC form. It really helps me gauge how realistic this hitting moq would be.

please don't let this set die, this is 100% needed for the good of the many handful of nipple homing enjoyers!
