All of them white on blue or something, or maybe a gradient.

Not sure if anyone else would be interested in this, but I would like to see an f5, f6, f7, and f8 that matches the escape keys. Think it would add an interesting splash of color.
This could be neat.

You are right, GMK does use a different mold for their code.
The text is centred, in a different font and has "Code" instead of "CODE"

Jesus christ with all te GMK. Just cut it out. You guys will never be happy.I'm all for more GMK but we need people to work together or none of them will meet MOQ. At the moment we've got Feng's Cyan set, Ivan's beige set, the Olivetti set which will never hit MOQ, Ctrl Alt are bringing us GMK Hyperfuse and I'm sure there's another one that I'm forgetting.
Theres only so many GMK buyers here and they only have so much money to spend, having all these buys running at the same time will fragment the buyers horribly and make meeting MOQ a *****.
Sad thing is we've been waiting on Hyperfuse for months and it's still nowhere to be found.

I guess this thread probably isn't the best place to bring this up but I just feel like we really need to be more organised with planning these things out, if we had no more than one GMK buy in the invoice stage per month we could probably get them all to MOQ if the interest is there.

Also, Photekq is working on a website that will be in English, Korean and Chinese to attract customers from the largest markets that should make hitting MOQ far easier.

Nope, you're right.
But will we need 250 of EACH spacebar to meet MOQ?
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sun, 14 December 2014, 11:46:37
When there is just some little thing, like few key in some color I don't see how that will be disruptive to MOQ on full sets and etc. Its just like an add on run separate, no biggie.
GMK have lot of interesting legend, best to find some off old obscure model and send photo to ask. It seems to be easier for them to find things if they have seen what you are asking for. Be prepared for some thing only to be available in one specific row/size combination though.
CODE does exist at GMK, but only in A profile. The B profile version of it was lost to time. Only have the Code version in B profile.
Pretty much impossible to go wrong with Esc, Enter, WASD and/or cursors in various color combos... unless make something ugly like V1 on 3B :))

I think having an A profile CODE key would be good because Ivan's current gb and Photekq's upcoming one will include A profile bottom row. I'll do some snooping and see if there are any random legends that look cool. Also, if anyone finds any random caps they think would be cool let me know! :thumb:

It kills me that no one does symmetry sets when there seem to be a pretty substantial subset who would love them. Instead of adding two keys that heighten the appeal, it feels like it's always a ton of keys added that only two or three people really want or use instead.

Indeed!
You can see me bring up that point in every GMK interest check out there, but it's always neglected :(
Ivan doesn't do it in his GBs, Feng didn't add the keys in his Cyan Set - not sure how the upcoming sets like Klaxon GMK, GMK Olivetti and GMK Triump Adler will turn out...
The worst thing is that I am a sucker for GMK keycaps so I bought the sets anyway despite this little flaw :p

The kit should contain the `~ and |\, F5-F8, the Nav Cluster and the numpad mods in WhiteOnPurple plus purple spacebars!
The original GB had ~400 orders, so I think it's realistic that 250 of those are interested in this add on kit:

Potential Pack:
F5, F6, F7, F8
'F' and 'J'
Tab
Backspace
Something you don't normally get.
As people have said, you can get Gamer Packs, Arrows, Returns and some Mods from EK already.
I suppose the difficult part is amassing the orders for a pack with a narrow focus.

I agree it would be good to have new sets, but the thing is, when you do new, unusual stuff you can have a harder time reaching MOQ, especially so with GMK. It is also harder to come up with new designs with GMK because their range of colors is very limited.I just want something that's new and fresh.

I think most combination of white on X color, or X color on white should do well enough and most of them have not been done yet. The thing that would be nice about little packs is they can be a trial run to move onto full sets in some combination later. I think there are quite a few colorways that would be really nice, but often it seems people are not convinced it will look good until they have it in front of them.

I'd love to see a WASD set of the lime on black, I think those alphas with white on lime mods would look awesome.One of the ideas I've been tossing around are white on lime, or white on the electruc blue (U5) color for mods. But EK has done those colors.
I definitely want to do something with U5 because it's an amazing color.

I also like the idea of black text mods.
Post by: billnye on Tue, 16 December 2014, 12:57:45
How about a lime green (color AE) or blue (color N5) mods pack? Kind of like the white on purple GMK mods.I meant N5 my bad :p
I also like the idea of black text mods.
But a mod pack sounds good to me, especially since I need a r3 control for my viper :))

What might be cool if we can get costs reasonable, is to make an all inclusive mod pack like Ivan has on his GMK 85|15 set. That way it could be used with pretty much any other GMK alphas and we can mix and match

We can't have mod packs with multiple colour schemes, gamer packs, code keys, symmetry packs, etc. all in one GB.
My suggestion:
-Pick a colour scheme that everyone wants
-add a tilda for those who want symmetry
-make gamer sets (wasd + esc) that compliment the colourway
-bundle some novelties like the Code and JOKER key with the least desired pack to boost it to MOQ.
Done. Let's not have a mod pack with irrelevant gamer packs and novelties, spacebars, dolch, cyan, and beige symmetry, etc.

I would also be interested in that just in standard color (not cyan) and it would have to be added to the tilda pack to get moq.Oh definitely in standard color. I only put the other key in the pic for scale.
And I assume that all the keys in this would be together in a single pack so everyone subsidizes eachother's keyboard fetishes.

Jesus christ with all te GMK. Just cut it out. You guys will never be happy.I'm all for more GMK but we need people to work together or none of them will meet MOQ. At the moment we've got Feng's Cyan set, Ivan's beige set, the Olivetti set which will never hit MOQ, Ctrl Alt are bringing us GMK Hyperfuse and I'm sure there's another one that I'm forgetting.
Theres only so many GMK buyers here and they only have so much money to spend, having all these buys running at the same time will fragment the buyers horribly and make meeting MOQ a *****.
Sad thing is we've been waiting on Hyperfuse for months and it's still nowhere to be found.

Short answer is maybe. Long answer is Cherry used a number of different shades for their sets and then you've got yellowing to contend with as well.

I like this discussion. It does seem to be going ten different directions at once, but like billnye said it's the initial discussion phase.Currently I have sent GMK an email asking if they could make a pdf or something of all the legends they have available. I really want to do something with the electric blue, but I'm not sure yet.

Any chance a mini white on purple mod set could be done? There still seems to be a lot of interest in it as I see people wtb it in classifieds quite frequently. Nobody wants to get rid of theirs either (at least not for anything less than what a full GMK set costs). A purple Tsangan kit would be great.Maybe.
I would prefer to do a design that hasn't been done before!

Recreating the mods in this picture, but with the N7 green from GMK. Then at a later time, doing a TA replica set, with the replica side text in AE.
Does that sound like a good idea to you guys? I haven't seen many gbs using that color, so I think it would be nice to see something new.

I'd love to see Yolch or something else more original that could work well with existing sets and be a little subtle. That or go balls to the wall crazy.That sounds good! I think doing a set to match the Dolch set is a good idea. Yolch or red Dolch.

I don't think the contrast would be there for red Dolch. Orange Dolch a la the Toshiba T3100 would look better, but it would also be similar looking to the charred orange set.Regarding N7, there isn't much of an option for a dark green color. It's either N7 or AE the lime green.MoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/az7fI.jpg)

Ivan never did N9 green. N9 is much darker than the one he did. It's why I suggested 3B to go with OG Cherry. I'll try to get shots with N9 and 3B next to TA and OG so you can see.The pink is definitely cool. Ivan got pink on white arrow keys from GMK last Christmas I think let me find the picture. It looks like it would match octopink pretty well!

Hope you can add key below:I will add in 1800 compatibility. I wasn't planning on adding winkeyless B profile, but if more people are interested I will.
Winkeyless with B profile: Ctrl 1.5x; Alt 1.5x; Alt Gr 1.5 x; Windows 1x (only my opinion because I like B than A profile )

I was more a fan of AE mods, 3B doesn't do it for me at all.
AE is nice and I would love to see something made with it, but I think there needs to either be a TA Green replica dyesub or Alphas (with pad printed sublegends) done to really make it good. As it is, if you really want something AE, you can pick up shift, alt, ctrl, enter, and WASD from EK in AE. It's not the full set, but it's a good mix. It looks nice with TA and Beige and Cream, but I'm not sure what else it would go with.
The main reason I like 3B is that I think it goes with more sets out there, so there's a better chance of it succeeding. It's Bill's buy though, so he has the final say on all the color choices.

Awesome. I don't know about others but just having the option for both the regular and offset position is useful. Having full touch or stepped doesn't matter as much. But thanks BILL!

Do you plan on doing an Esc set or adding different color Esc keys in? I asked because that's an easy way to try out color combos you're interested in for future runs.I might include some escapes. I am really fond of the scitex color scheme, so I might do one in that color and a few other combinations

The OG Dolch and GMK CC Grey I think Ivan used are very close in color, so it should look good IMO. It goes a little better with the lighter 2B Grey, but it's still nice together.

That would be nice. I have a few more suggestions for colors that I think could be fun (crappy mockups included):
1. CV Yellow on CC Grey - Yolch

+1 on basically all of them.
I like the idea of green mods set... but bummed it's with black legend. Perhaps consider to make it tonal, with one shade of green on the other? I think that would look really great and would go with either classic black on beige or white on black, Dolch, etc... set.

There are no keys for the marked spots, but I do not know if demand for this particular board may reach 250 MoQ. Thus, I would not suggest to include such keys as part of the main set, otherwise they may get its price up unnecessarily for most of the interested parties, at the end they may be just leftovers for most of us.Not likely, sorry.

"extra" makes it seem excessive. We just like having options... :rolleyes:

When a mod pack costs as much as a full GMK set or even 80% as much, it's too much.

The quotes they give are actually quite high for mod sets. However, our goal going forward is to provide sets to you guys as affordable as possible.Email sent to GMK asking for mockups. Will post pics as soon as I get them! ^-^

That's actually a very good point.
I wonder what this exact Mod Pack would cost in a popular color scheme that would look good with the classic cherry black on beige set you could get for cheap on Ebay:

Sure this kit doesn't support any fancy custom board, but most of us have at least one standard board like a Filco, Ducky or Kul to use it on.
It might be worth trying :thumb:

then i think my gmk olivetti gb will never reach the moq.. maybe i will just buy 250 of a profile bottom row, F5-F8, insert, and delete to make that set a little bit closer to the original one..It really irks me that he almost did the legends right, but left out those few small details. But, who knows, maybe it will sell out in China before it gets here. Don't cross it out completely!

You could do that or you could make it so you have a fully comprehensive that allows full compatibility, OR maybe do a small compatibility mod pack for Olivetti.

At that price, without shipping included I would rather just support Jonathanyu's GB which will probably have better compatibility and hopefully be without a huge markup..

I hope that is wrong price on those full set... $185 is way too much, even my sets with lot of additional key is less.
Any idea how he got the low MOQ for the windowed, stepped Caps?
I'm always hopeful that GMK group buys will include them, but last I read, the MOQ was 400.
I could be wrong.
Back on topic, I hope this happens!

Yeah. It seems your plan is very advantage. Finish CMYW soon & wait mockups to run Green mod haha :)
Hope there isn't any problem on road.
But I seems don't like windowed caps because it's not double shot caps while alsmost others is DS caps :( Sorry to tjweir but that is only personal idea :)

what i heard was, the RMB 1150 or USD$185 includes a keycap box (i am guessing somewhat similar to Raindrop's deluxe box) and some special resin novelty key(s), and also to cover for shipping and tax.

My personal, individual opinion is that HHKB support is awesome and while I like N7 and AE more than 3B I think 3B will go very well to modify a beige set.
Post by: LechnerDE on Tue, 20 January 2015, 13:24:14
One minor change you could think about is changing the ISO enter key to icon + text as well (like Ivan's cyan enter from the Dolch GB color pack).
Besides that I think you could drop the "alt gr" keys (I am saying this as an ISO user). Half of the legends are wrong for us anyway so why bother with the small detail. I actually prefer my spacebar to be surrounded by symmetric alt keys :D
I don't understand the idea behind the Row 1 "DEL END, PG DN" keys. Is that for Lightsaver support?
I also really like the color (although it's always hard to judge by the mockup). I think it would really go well with vintage cherry beige set that are widely available on ebay for cheap :thumb:

Ok, I like that since I have a Lightsaver V2, but it really doesn't make sense if the numpad math symbols are not included.
Speaking of numpad support:
I'd rather drop the R5 keys and add "num lock, / * - + ENTER"
Post by: LechnerDE on Tue, 20 January 2015, 13:30:35
I thought I'd like that colourscheme, but after seeing the mockup.. I really don't :-X
Well, I guess it will look similar to the Commando 23 set

Fair enough, but imho the 1800 support only makes sense with the numpad mods as well.

R5 is staying for sure. 1800 and B profile are first on the chopping block if we need to make changes
HHKB is also staying for sure.
Also, the control legends will be "control" not "ctrl"

This could also have to do with the rise of 75% and 65% boards recently.
I'm on the fence with this one.
On one hand, I say, "Go all the way or don't do it at all."
Yet on the other hand I'm thinking, "I'll allow it."

Just keep in mind that the original idea for this GB is to keep it small and not that expensive, otherwise the 85/15 story may repeat here: one set for all, but a set that would not reach its MoQ.I sent an email asking for the price of the current set. I'm trying to keep it as close to $50 as possible. Once we get that quote we can all work from there.

I refer to old Cherry sets actually, they are similar to Photekq's but they usually do have win key less bottom rows, therefore you need a set like the one in this GB to have them fit a modern standard ANSI keyboard. Also WoB Cherry may be mix and match with this one, there are some sets that are being sold for around $15 US now at ebay. Beiges are far more scarce but they worth to have.

The email I sent I asked them to get rid of r1 del/end/pg dn and alt gr caps
Alt Gr caps may be easily replace by Alt ones, I use them actually but I can live without them; however the others will prevent the set to be a full replacement for the nine block keys required by TKL and Full size boards, you should reconsider that, otherwise all those with such keyboard would not join. Also an ESC key would be a good addition if someone want a symmetric layout.

Given that he's getting rid of the R1 del/end/pgdn keys, we lost 75% support (R1 profile keys work great for the far right keys on keycool 84/noppoo mini/ MX mini), so adding the 8 keys to get full size support doesn't seem very likely. Oh well. Might as well ditch the HHKB-sized caps too, since there can't be more than 100 people worldwide that use that layout. :)

Gamer sets are so boring!I could do that, any particular colorways you would want that in?
Give us CODE keys!
I plan on asking GMK if they have any other random molds that would be unique.

There might be other that people would love like white on cyan, but I have no idea really. I just think the code key is amazing.
I doubt that does GMK really have the tool for that CODE key because I believe I have seen a picture showing that the CODE key was made with a different mold than what GMK used, but I may be wrong
You are right, GMK does use a different mold for their code.
The text is centred, in a different font and has "Code" instead of "CODE"Show Image(https://bingecap.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/MG_4545.png)

The main intention of this set is to match Classic Beige. I will post the other green mockups when I get them. I agree with you guys that white on lime looks quite nice, but this group buy won't be that. I will keep it in mind for a later group buy.
From the initial mockup, the 1800 caps (r1 del/end/pg dn) and all alt gr caps are being dropped. Also, the control caps will have the "control" legend instead of "ctrl".
Keep in mind that caps in real life look different than the mockups.

I agree with your opinion on colors, regarding the caps that you are going to drop I'd prefer to have them, but again, I'd prefer to get the GB reaching its MoQ over everything else, so I am in all the way, I think Ivan's GB will still be a far more larger modifiers set with language alternatives and all, and while I hope both do well, I think this one has more possibilities because of price, just be sure to choose the color that best matches available beiges - there are over a dozen variants -, and if possible black Cherry sets.

Could we please, please, please have some blank 1.25u R4 Winkeys?
Maybe a couple of 1u R4s as well?
Some of us just can't stand logos (particularly windows logos - of any variety - they just don't belong on my custom keyboard).
Cheers,

I'm not planning on adding any blank right now. Unfortunately you're in the minority with that opinion, and I'm trying to keep prices as low as possible.

I received the revised mockup. As of now, the cost of the set is 54.39€ (roughly $63 USD). Let me know if that price is ok for you guys, or if I need to work to further cut down the price :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/d3LitBb.png)

The price is acceptable, there is a good balance of basic keys and some other ones, I just wonder if some may need a 1.25u Fn Key though. And the color...well just not sure about it, so the other options you mentioned may be needed to get a final go from the interested parties.

I asked for a final change in the legends, add "Enter" text as well as the icon to the ISO enter. I figured it would make sense to make the ISO caps US ISO since all the other caps are like that :blank:

The arrow with the legend looks classic, good move. What are the applications of the 1u windows keys in row 5 profile? I have seen row 5 only in win key less keyboards, so it does not make sense to me. (Edit) I think I got my own answer, the HHKB layout may be the culprit.

Seems a bit expensive to me. It might suffer from the same issue that Ivan is having with his 85|15 mod pack. I think of you can get something that is around $60 with shipping to most people you have a winner. $70 before shipping is too much in my opinion for just mods :/I can work to cut down a few if a few other people feel this way. Also, keep in mind it isn't just mods, it's meant for full TKL compatibility. Just a mods set could be much cheaper, but I want to do something new.

Yeah I guess just wait to see what other people say but I just want to be sure that we don't get stuck with low numbers due to a high price. Because that is what is holding up Ivan in his current GMK GB, and that is a classic beige which is very useful.

You guys are way too serious for me good luck finding 250 people to buy these caps I won't be participating.
I thought it was funny that anyone would really think the mockups from GMK are very accurate, I mean look at the one they did for dolch with the color pack, it is awful.
And if I was scrutinizing I would say green looks like butt and do that many people like classic beige?

Any product will have a price that is debatable, this is not the exception, i depends not in the product only, but in the perceived value. Again, let be the GB to be the point to know if the price is ok for at least 250 buyers. Mean while, I think the most important part is to get feedback on keys available in the set and their colors. Discussing the set based on price only will get us nowhere.
Post by: LechnerDE on Thu, 22 January 2015, 12:35:30
The thing is at this price we won't get any orders from newcomers. The veterans will surely place some orders, but then we will cruise around 100 orders just like in Ivan's GBs :(
My suggestion is to start the GB with your last kit at 70$, see how it goes and then probably fall back to a Mod Set Light.
I think the magic price for a TKL mod set is 49$ before shipping.
If it fails we should try a simple ANSI TKL set without Tsangan, ISO and whatever.
Sure we can't use it on our korean customs, but everyone of us also has a Filco, Ducky, KUL etc.
I'd rather have a standard TKL set that I can use with my vintage 10$ cherry sets than nothing GMK at all (again)

why is GMK so inflexible when it comes to MOQ? the high prices at least make sense, but wouldn't they stand to gain much more business by allowing orders with 100-150 MOQ?GMK, unlike SP, doesn't rely on keyboard enthusiasts like us to stay open. Their MOQ was 500, but thanks to ivan we were able to lower that to 250.

Post by: rowdy on Thu, 22 January 2015, 19:09:04
For example:
$70 (as it is now) + $15 postage = US$85. Convert currency = AUD$106. This is too much for a modifier set.
$50 + $15 postage = US$65. Convert currency = AUD$81. This is more reasonable, but I can still get a full set (maybe not GMK) for this price.
OTOH I do understand that the set contains dozens of keycaps to satisfy many different keyboard layouts, most of which are not relevant for me.

Send the order for 250 sets, get the quote for the price @250, then divide that amount by the 150 orders, and that's what each order costs. Donate the extra 100 sets to GH or something.

3B was an awesome choice! What happened?Popular demand :/ Not many people seemed to like it. I do think the lime could look quite good. From the picture Ivan posted, I think it is a little too drab. I'm also asking for a mockup with N7, so there is still a possibility for that :)
This is the same color green as EK's green GMKs, right?
GMK says they will send me a new render next week with a price quote. I took out A profile, the extra 2.25 right shift and the fulltouch C profile control cap.
Also, the only code related cap available is "Code" R1-4. RIP CODE
EDIT: For anyone interested in price of pad printed vs doubleshot
Quote from: GMK
In general pad printed and laser marked keys are bit cheaper. This results in a higher quantity of the base keys. Because as long as the keys share the same size and profile it is actually the same base key. Nevertheless it also depends on the legends. If the printing plates for the legends are already existing only the costs for the printing itself will be added. If we are talking about new legends there will be some set-up costs for the new printing plate.So it looks to be that if you do pad printed, you can get new legends.

N7 is such a pretty color - it is the true nature of green :) That said, I think AE will be the better compliment to a beige set.

I still think N7 on AE would be really nice. Would go fine with either black/beige or white/black or Dolch or... basically any set that has neutral tones instead of having legend color matching something in particular. Plus... a little selfishness here, but would be really lovely with those TA Alpha typewriter sets. I would love something to use to fill those out with so I could actually really use them.
Post by: billnye on Fri, 23 January 2015, 18:22:52
GMK pad print is really good... but, I think it is best avoided for tops on any keys that get high usage. For some people depending on skin chemistry and texture they can wear off pretty fast.I've actually been thinking about this combination because as you said, if I do black or white it will clash with some sets.

I hope so. I never understood why this wasn't the first thing we did as a community group buy with GMK, even before Ivan's purple mods or the Dolch buy. I have several moogle and tsangan sets from back when we did group buys for them with SP, but I just can't stand putting thin DCS caps on a keyboard with my vintage Cherry.

Nope, those were all pristine keys, just from different sets. Cherry used a LOT of different tones of white/beige which is why I kept saying a tiny 'moogle' kit would not be ideal. You need whole sections so it would look nice.

I love the HHKB layout, too, but it's kind of a hard sell with MX caps. People who love the HHKB own an HHKB, and have no use for MX keycaps to fit the layout. There are only a handful of us who have Vipers in the layout, so it's pretty much pointless to include them for everyone.

- R1 Pipe/Backslash
- R2 Del/Bksp
- R3 Control
- R4 Split Shift + Fn
- R4/5 1u Alts and 1.5u Diamonds
While the bottom row is very much specific to the HHKB, I think we could still claim "HHKB support" without providing 1u Alts or 1.5u diamond/blanks/etc. I might even argue R3 control and R4 split-shift aren't specific to the HHKB in which case "HHKB support" consists of adding 2 extra keys...
Post by: ideus on Mon, 26 January 2015, 12:08:16
Main difference between viper and infinity is the bottom row that are only 4 keys and the 7u spacebar, that in any case are also needed by winkey less Cherry and Korean models that in most GB are already included. So we are talking basically of the control key, 1u \|, 1.5u backspace and splitted right shift plus FN, that is 5 keys only. It is not that hard to consider, and even those with no current need for them may be prepared in case they want to explore that layout in the future.

Is it worth splitting this into two options: (1) standard TKL set with 1.25x mods, (2) everything else (where everything else includes HHKB, ISO, 1800, etc.).
I know about MOQ and generating sufficient interest - would two options like this split MOQ into 250 of each set? Or would (could?) it be 250 total? I guess that would be up to GMK.
Perhaps a poll: who would buy standard TKL set, who would buy an "everything else" set, who would buy both.
Post by: bueller on Mon, 26 January 2015, 19:18:10
There are like 500 MX based keyboards that may use full or partial HHKB keys considering the recent viper and infinity boards sold. Thus, even with halft of them the set may reach MoQ.

From what I have seen in past group buys and from talking to other organizers, I think keeping as one set is the best option. It will be cheaper than buying two separate sets. I'm waiting on the next quote from GMK, and if that isn't cheap enough I have planned the next set of keys that will be cut.I love HHKB layout, but I'm not that big of a fan of Topre anymore.

You are missing the point: It is not about EK stock, it is about the color set and AE is just too loud to be a good color for a full modifiers set, maybe not for some keys like a couple of control, or shifts. A GB like this should appeal a wide audience to reach MoQ, and a bright color may not the most popular one, maybe an standard color like beige is not the answer either, but a color that may be in the middle, and being not so common, and not so loud.

You are missing the point: It is not about EK stock, it is about the color set and AE is just too loud to be a good color for a full modifiers set, maybe not for some keys like a couple of control, or shifts. A GB like this should appeal a wide audience to reach MoQ, and a bright color may not the most popular one, maybe an standard color like beige is not the answer either, but a color that may be in the middle, and being not so common, and not so loud.
Iunno. Could work.

Lots of people would love to see a full mod set of AE, read the thread.
If by "lots of people" you meant the few that have been very vocal - many post each - about the color, yes I agree that "lots of people" want it.

I just read the whole thread and there are just as many people (if not more) interested in AE than there were for 3B. You're well within your rights to not agree with people about the colorway, but don't talk **** to try and get your own choice pushed through. It's ****ing annoying.

I think people that are not talking their minds do not deserve some of us driving the IC that is suppose to be open to all opinions, but just for the record, I have not express any preference for a particular color, I just wrote AE is too bold and at least three other members have wrote that too, that is not an agenda, lets be the people and the OP who decide what the set would be, at the end each one could join or not. And I am flattered that you think I have some "weight" LOL, I do not even understand what do you meant by that. Relax pal.

All of these I imagine would go well with classic beige as well as BoW.
I have no idea however which is my favourite.

OK back to topic, it looks like the ccng mod colour is almost similar shade with green Irish main legend.
I'm not sure what colour gmk has that is closed to ccng's mod colour but I seriously wouldn't mind that colour or AE green. But pls dun take me too seriously (but really...I think it's really nice :)) ) since my choice of colour is biased towards pairing with Irish green set :D
I initially wanted to get EK's AE green enter and possibly arrow clusters or WASD to pair with Irish green.
But if this mod is going to go white on AE (or the shade of green almost similar to ccng mod), this will be perfect!
Edit: I had some free time, did a rough recolouring mockup on ivan's irish green set.
Pardon the ugliness on the recoloured legend :-X

As for everyone else, I understand that most of the time in IC's there are a few very vocal people supporting each side. I'm doing my best to produce something that will appeal to as wide of an audience as possible. I know that some people won't like it, but hopefully at least 250 will :)). I take each person's input into consideration and I hope we can all work together to get some cool new caps made.

i'm actually hoping for a lock icon capslock, win8 logo and backspace logo similar to ivan's post here, but i'd still go with your current legends if the price and color is right ;D

Fair enough, and by the way, I understand your dilemma because I work as a lead design engineer, and I know it is very hard to keep happy a diverse stakeholders audience, and I can see your balanced approach. Fortunately, now there is more than one IC / GB including modifiers sets that may meet the demand of most, and I am planning to try to support most of them as I like ABS DS GMK caps most than any other type, and I really hope all these current and upcoming GBs to be successful.

I'm out on AE. EK already has sets of most of what you'd want or need.
No full bottom row, no caps lock, no tab. There's quite a bit missing from EK.
You are missing the point: It is not about EK stock, it is about the color set and AE is just too loud to be a good color for a full modifiers set, maybe not for some keys like a couple of control, or shifts. A GB like this should appeal a wide audience to reach MoQ, and a bright color may not the most popular one, maybe an standard color like beige is not the answer either, but a color that may be in the middle, and being not so common, and not so loud.
Clearly, I'm 100% on the same page as Ideus here, and I want to add the following: I think that the appeal of AE (for those who find AE appealing) is much like the reason all the demo TVs have the brightness cranked up - it attracts attention. For a keyboard, though - something you are going to look at 1000s of times - you're gonna get tired of AE pretty quick. End of the day - you buy something that bright you might as well call it a novelty color because for the vast majority of users who buy such a thing you're going to pull that off, eventually, and replace it with something more subtle so that you can actually sit at your keyboard and get something done.
LOL - it's so funny but I swear that the color actually makes me f***ing angry or something.

I quite like the AE with the Irish set, although there are very few Irish sets around, so mocking something up with such a set is not depicting a setup that many people would be able to create.

yeap, that is true, that's why in my last few post i did mentioned that my suggestions tend to be biased as i'm interested to pair this with irish green.
i don't have the proper tools or skills to make a nice render, this is just something i do for myself to see how it'd looks like if i pair them with irish green and i thought there's no harm sharing it over here :)
hmm, N7 is GMK RGBY's shift key colour right?
we'll just see what billnye have come up with :)

This version wouldn't have full TKL support and would be more the style of Ivan's mod gb. I'm just trying to bounce around more ideas while I'm waiting to hear back from GMK. I could try to look into a separate pack for a full TKL kit, but that likely wouldn't reach MOQ.

Yeeeeep. Honestly I think unless you're doing a full set the price needs to be as low as possible otherwise it never reaches MOQ. This would work perfectly.

oh yea forgot to mention there will be a separate escape pack with 3 caps. Also GMK has said they will throw in a mystery cap with this ^-^How would you guys feel about this set (not same colors) + a few capsShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/t0P2fl7.png)

This version wouldn't have full TKL support and would be more the style of Ivan's mod gb. I'm just trying to bounce around more ideas while I'm waiting to hear back from GMK. I could try to look into a separate pack for a full TKL kit, but that likely wouldn't reach MOQ.

To be honest I strongly prefer full TKL support. Most of my keyboards are TKL and looking at the media threads TKL seems to be the most popular size on Geekhack.
I mean it would be a shame to have these awesome keys, but almost never use them...

I think I have not comment on this yet, and it is a basic modifiers set in the line of other moogles that have been manufactured by SP, and they are always in demand so it is a great option. From a personal perspective, if you add the 1.5u row 2 backspace I would certainly buy three sets.

I was thinking us HHKB users could bite the bullet a little and just use the matching color \| cap as our backspace in order to keep the number of caps minimal.

Yeah, I certainly could do that, actually I have my Poker fitted with Ivan's purple mod and I am using one blank 1.5u row 4 key for the delete position in row 2 instead of \|, but it is just not the same as having a nice back space icon there. You know us keyboard lovers want everything to be perfect. Any way I fully support your effort to get a moogle done with GMK goodness all the way. I'll stay with you, and I am certainly reserving some money for this. But if you finally decide to add such key this may be my adapter of choice, and it will be populating my three daily drivers.

What about pad printing a Del/Bksp on the front of the \| key? Or using front printing in general for HHKB support? Just an idea - I have no idea how much pad printing costs.
It may worth if the cost of pad printing does not match or is close to that of an additional key, only.
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Fri, 06 February 2015, 11:43:01
Pad printing front legends idea is good. It's less expensive than dedicated keys to be sure which is why I did it that way on Dolch. If they don't have a screen for that legend it is $25 set up fee which isn't bad really.

What about the two 1u keys that replace backspace? We would have to find some other keys to put there? I'm not complaining about using \| as backspace, since it will at least allow the use of the coloured keys, but the split backspace caps will be weird and the wrong colour. :(

While I love cyan, I wouldn't be interested in buying in to that since I participated in the groupbuy for white/cyan sets Feng ran recently. While I don't really care personally, I do think it would be wise to include the arrows and edit block keys. Most people do use TKL and it was the biggest complaint when I ran that purple mods set. I think most people would rather have those than some of the special case keys if we need to keep it as small and cheap as possible.

Lets explore the side pad printing for alternate layouts like the HHKB, but add the 1 row 1u \|, and ~` keys. I have not check if they were included in the last mock up though.
Post by: geniekid on Sat, 07 February 2015, 16:53:11

I don't quite follow - the two 1u keys that replace backspace shouldn't be the same color as the mods and if you wanted color symmetry the `~ is already part of the pack. I think it's up to the people getting this mod set to produce their own R1 1u \| key.

Oh shoot you're right. I did forget that \| wouldn't be the mod colour. And I don't use `~ as the other key, I put Del there, so for me a proper profile coloured Del would not be available. But I forgot that most people would put `~ and wouldn't care.

Sir Nubbi, a render of the blue mod with classic WoB would be awesome, as the pictures you already posted are.
I no can render. I has no rendering skills. I can sample colors and figure out their value and set it in keyboard layout editor, but I can't do proper renders.
I'm still not a fan of the set. It's a decent accent color, but I think a full set of mods will not look good with anything other than OG cream and beige.

What do you have in mind then?
A good GMK modifiers set is something the community really needs, any color that can be paired with available and upcoming full sets would be very useful. The potential to put currently available Cherry sets into proper use is great. So lets get this done, Ivan's does not appear to go well, but we should support both.

Post by: LechnerDE on Sat, 21 February 2015, 03:16:52
Hey guys, got the mockup back today. Decided to try out CC on N5. CC is the gray used on the alphas of Dolch, so it will match that set nicely. Also, the medium gray tone should match beige quite nicely. I think this combo is a good middle ground between the two :). The first mockup you will see is one edited by vesper to be more color accurate. GMK renders tend to be a bit faded, so some enhancement is needed ;D. If you have any of the blue GMK caps from EK, this is the same blue. However, due to it being doubleshot with a gray plastic, the blue won't be as bright as the caps EK sells.
There will also be an escape pack that will have a matching escape with a few other colorways :cool:

Just my .02, I think the mods with darker legends look much better than the sets with white legends. I personally want to match these with a beige set and the white legends throw me.Exactly my thought.
The problem here is: White legends mods will only fit white legends alphas and black legends mods will only fit black legend alphas. It's really hard to please both worlds, I guess.
A compromise could be some bright color on grey base. Like yellow on dark grey, green on dark grey, magenta on dark grey.
I like the magenta :) Black on magenta

alright, I'll ask for mockup same blue with white and black legends instead.
Any other colors you guys would like to see? Since we have the keys down, it's pretty easy for them to swap out the colors.
Add a 2x right shift!!! (11800 and 11900 boards)

Me too, but the interest just wasn't there for the extra cost of full-TKL support :/Hey guys, got the mockup back today. Decided to try out CC on N5. CC is the gray used on the alphas of Dolch, so it will match that set nicely. Also, the medium gray tone should match beige quite nicely. I think this combo is a good middle ground between the two :). The first mockup you will see is one edited by vesper to be more color accurate. GMK renders tend to be a bit faded, so some enhancement is needed ;D. If you have any of the blue GMK caps from EK, this is the same blue.

In order to keep costs down I am trying to include as few keys as possible. Having the majority of people support the minority that use that layout isn't fair for everyone else. :-Xalright, I'll ask for mockup same blue with white and black legends instead.

I bought a set of RGB mods from EK to pair with a WoB set, and they look great, IMO. I think they would also look nice with a black on beige set. I absolutely think white legends are the way to go for colored mods, even if the alphas have black legends.
Is that the only blue GMK offers, or is there a darker blue? If there's a darker one, maybe lastpilot would be willing to do a mockup with that?

I'm really liking the white on blue. I think it would look absolutely stunning with either Dolch or WoB.They have a darker blue, V4.

Point: An stand alone HF modifiers set.
Other option can be to select a base dark gray with a bright color for legends, maybe like the Dolch delete modifier.

I have a few keys in both the lighter N5 blue and the darker V4 blue that GMK offer. I took a picture of them with GMK Dolch. The lighting isn't great but it shows the difference nicely. Not sure which I prefer.

As promised some ideas. I scanned some caps and took rough color values from points to try and get the closest to what it looks like. Sine there are so many rough mock ups, I'm making the one I think looks the best first, then letting you expand the others. Each set is paired with classic Cream, classic Dolch, and classic WoB.
First, since someone mentioned magenta, I did some quick mock ups of Magenta (UN33656) with Black (CR) legends:

Since a lot of people wanted it (but I think it looks like an obnoxious over the top CCnG), AE with CR legends (the green seems a little more dull in the mockups than when I'm looking at it in person):

In my oppinion Black (CR) with AE (Green), UN33656 (Magenta), UN6037 (Cyan), CV (Yellow), and 2M (Light Grey) legends is the best compromise. It looks amazing, no matter if paired with WoB, Dolch or Classic Cream.

I kind of like the Dolch version better, but both are nice.
And I really like the magenta even though it's over the top and absurd.

Agreed, I just thought Black Base would satisfy WoB users more ... I honestly don't care, I think either Black or Dolch Base looks absolutly stunning.
I'm also digging the magenta, but hitting MOQ is another thing ...

That is proper courtesy; however, with the long pipeline of ideas and designs he appears to have this small mod set may not be a big part of his plans. It has been mentioned at least for two years now, so probably is not one of his top priorities.

Did he? I just threw some things together that I thought would look good. It's basically a permutation of Round 4 modifiers (http://deskthority.net/w/images/e/e3/Round4_Retro_004.png).
from green to blue? what about orange GMK mods?

Orange is a tough sell, especially GMK orange since it's a severe shade.

Base color: CR
Shift key: AE legend on CR base
Control key: V1 legend on CR base
Windows key: CV legend on CR base
Alt key: UN6037 legend on CR base
Rest of the keys in the set: UN0001 legend on CR black
Base Color: N9
Shift key: AE legend on N9 base
Control key: V1 legend on N9 base
Windows key: CV legend on N9 base
Alt key: UN6037 legend on N9 base
Rest of keys in the set: UN0001 legend on N9 gray
I changed the control legend to be V1 red and the menu to be UN0001 white, I think the gray would look a little odd. After we get these, I'll stop bugging them for more mockups :)) Time for us to settle on a set because I would like to start this right after I finish with CMYW shipping :thumb:

Mixing the vibrant colors with the darker colors just doesn't work to me.
Changing grey to white works, I just went with the grey since it's a super light almost white super neutral grey that looks nice and would be contrasty without being painfully so.

Always thought it'd be a good idea to get a Pantone colour chart and match the GMK chips to specific codes, this would make mocking up GMK sets so much easier. I've got access to a bunch of Pantone books but I don't have a color wheel unfortunately.

I have several Pantone books (my dad used to have a print shop), the problem is that Pantone isn't something that would help most people with mockups since Pantone colors don't always translate well to the colors you can display on a monitor. That and the Pantone system has different values for different inks. They may look the same, but have different numbers, so you'd have to specify the system and the number.
Ah thats a shame, I thought we'd be able to run the codes through one of those Pantone -> RGB/HEX websites.

After 85|15 either moves on or fails for sure, I will be starting a new buy in March/April. The next one will have CMYK v2 mod set with color legends on black keys, a white/black patch kit and a new full set I'll be calling 'Miami Nights' with magenta on black mods and cyan on black alphas. That full set will be cheap and basic, no nonsense and back to standard modern US primary layout.

I have a queue of things I want to do. Each group buy takes time, and some have been delayed by various issues preventing me starting new ones in the time I wished to.

We could do RGB, but I think that is really close to Ivan's idea and I don't want to step on any toes. I know some people aren't the biggest fans of this color scheme, but I quite like it. Can't please everyone. I will reach out to GMK and see if we can get a quote on this set :thumb:

N5 would pair well with the upcoming Triumph Adler set, or the Olivetti set for a truer-to-original Triumph Adler. Before the TA kits we have photos of aged, they were more close to N5 mods with V4 alpha legends.

If I understand correctly the top one is the render we received from GMK; billnye has then made a color corrected version below it because GMK's renders are often quite far off real life examples.

You can add price (converted to USD)? We always USD instead EUR on GH.I used the euro price because that is what I will pay GMK with.
I am not setting a USD price because the conversion ratio fluctuates too much and I don't want to potentially lose a lot of money when the USD begins to depreciate again.

Unfortunately for 3B fans it didn't get a lot of support, I know Nubbs was disappointed too. White on Blue should meet MOQ much easier and I think it matches a lot more different colorways.
Post by: billnye on Sun, 01 March 2015, 22:23:49

The original poster was adapting the title of the post to reflect the changes in design colors mainly. But it always has the GMK moniker. Besides, the GB's summary at the top of the GB's subforum has always included it. As Jacco wrote his comment was an expression of perplexity, not necessarily an actual question.

E.G Olivetti legends are far darker than even the darkest blue GMK offers.
I highly doubt those colours are very close to V4 and N5. I think they are probably quite a bit off IRL.

The ` ~ key is included right? It shows in the list of things included and the first mockup, but not the second. Just making sure...Yes it is. First mockup gmk forgot to add it
Awesome! Thanks for confirming. Also, I really appreciate that you added those two keys so a symmetrical layout is possible. That is my biggest pet peeve about all the existing gmk sets.
Fwiw: I have this blue (I am pretty sure) on some keys with my dolch set and it looks great. I will add some pics later tonight for those interested.

A one unit \| key cap in row 3 profile would make an exclusive symmetric layout for some of the European ISO users. Adding almost nothing to the cost, while improving the value of the set.I am not aware of any ISO board that has that cap.
ISO people should have complete symmetry as it is :)

Precisely ISO sets have that cap in alpha color, only Ivan's recent beige mod set included that cap in mod's color, but in row 1 profile. The row 3 would be even better. Just an idea.

Define modifier... Tab, Backspace and Enter are not modifiers either (technically). They only have single actions and do not modify the behavior of any other key. SOOO... If you are going to so loosely define modifiers, I think I should get some leeway on the keys that are in the grouping you are calling 'modifiers'. :P

Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 21 March 2015, 00:27:17
You can argue every which way, but in the end it comes down to preferences. Some people prefer the "traditional" mod/alpha split (even though there are many versions, some that even had two to three mod colors or F and J caps that matched some mods) and others prefer symmetry or other permutations. It's just like different people prefer different layouts.

^ agreed. between cap colors and mod legends, there is enough room to accommodate all of our preferences, no matter how bastardized. that said i have no qualm conceding that flipped spacebars look gross, i only do it because they feel better

Good point!
Keys that generate a new character on the screen should be one colour.
Other keys that have special functions should be a different colour. Many (most) of those special keys modify the functionality of the first group of keys, and thus are generally referred to as modifiers.
Numpad - most of my keyboards are TKL or smaller, however from a numerical perspective, the digits represent a number, and the other keys modify that number. That's kinda weak, but at least more or less consistent with the other thing I said above.

the only proper symetrical colorway is HHKB's layout, otherwise the original fits better
But HHKB `~ key (extreme top right) is the same colour as the alphas, whereas Esc (extreme top left) is the same colour as the modifiers.
Hence classic layout (NOT symmetrical) is correct :p

I looked but didn't see this answered. Is this the same brighter blue as what EK has correct? Not the darker blue used in all the RGB setsYes this is the same blue EK uses!
Should allow people looking for a few extra keys to buy some from them as well

Is the green mod pack shelved for later this year or was it dumped completely?It has been scrapped, many people didn't like the color :/

Anyways I am happy with the blue and ESC pack for the time being. What is the MOQ for the packs?

It should be 250 as the pack takes standard colors only.

Also Bill I don't know you but I watched your live stream and know you do a lot around here so this is my preemptive thank you for putting this together and everything else you do for this community :thumb: I'm really sad I didn't find about the CMYW in time any who this looks great.Thanks!

Not sure if this has already been asked, but what's the shipping cost (Australia specifically)?
Small packages like this are usually around $12 to $15.

If you are considering to add a couple of blank keys (standard 1.25)... I would like it so much!

I'll take a set when it's live.
Everybody will take one; even, those that do not have a Cherry set yet, would get one in preparation to get some mix and match fun. Those with an old Cherry set, already know it does not fit modern ANSI keyboards, and they know well a set like this will turn an otherwise incomplete set into a modern one that fits their recent acquired MX board.

Too bad for the windows logo, I hate it... but sadly maybe that's not enough for not ordering it :-[I sent gmk an email earlier today to get a quote with 2 1.25x keys added. Shouldn't change price that much

Gonna go ahead and announce it now:
The first 100 people to order sets will be put in a raffle for 10 color-matching bro bots. Each person can only get 1, so if you are one of the first people to get in this, you have a 1/10 chance of getting a sweet v2 to match this set :D
edit: just a heads up I did change the price to fully account for random fees and stuff that came up while doing cmyw :thumb:

but, i want to add one more left, right shift.
because, if then, we can use winkey, winkeyless both of them. ;D
to be sure, price will be little bit expansive then now, but, i think it will be better.

One more question - I think it was mentioned somewhere in the thread, but I can't find it right now:
Will there be a spacebar pack in this GB (1xblue, 1x white) or just the ESC pack as a bonus kit?

Thanks for the fast reply :thumb:
Too bad though ... would be great if I could use my vintage Cherry beige set (that has a 7x spacebar) together with these mods on Poker 2 with a matching spacebar.
