What about billnye's green pack (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=66668.0)?
I *just* finished my Viper, so yup, I'm down.
What keys are you thinking right now?
I'm always interested in mod packs...can't have too many of those.
Colors?
Thanks. Looks like a good set of keys. Why 2x 1.5u row 2 backspaces? Surely 1 is enough? Also, I think you mean 2.25u enter.I *just* finished my Viper, so yup, I'm down.
What keys are you thinking right now?
Well at the bare minimum for HHKB I would like are:
1x 1u Esc row - Row 1
1x 1.5u Tab - Row 2
1x 1.75u Control (full touch)- Row 3
1x 1.75u Control (stepped)- Row 3
1x 1.75u Shift - Row 4
1x 2.25u Shift - Row 4
1x Fn - Row 4
2x 1u Alt - Row 4
2x 1.5u Backspace - Row 2
1x 1u "\|" - Row 1
2x 1.5u Blank - Row 4
1x 2.5u Enter - Row 3
That is 15 right there. Please correct me if I missed any keys.
To complete the 60% of a standard poker 2 we would also need:
1x 2u Backspace - Row 1
1x 1.5u "\|" - Row 2
1x 2.75u Shift - Row 3
2x 1.25u Control - Row 4
2x 1.25u Alt - Row 4
2x 1.25u Blank - Row 4
1x 1.25 FN - Row 4
That is 25 keys right about where I want it.
Any you have in mind? Ideally I want this one to work in conjunction with existing GMK sets already manufactured.

Anything vibrant would be rad.

I'd love another mod pack in a three color scheme like CMYK. While I also really love vibrant colors, maybe do a set in the gray scale? Don't think I've really seen that. U9, 2B, CC. Black legends, though I dunno if they'd show up all that great. The other thing I'd like to see is CMYK legends on black mods.
First Ivans 85|15 Mod Pack.Haha I get it. But we don't even have colors or anything picked yet! glad you are supportive of it though!
Then billnyes Green Mod Pack.
Now this.
... Can we PLEASE stop having all those [IC]s about the same damn idea and finally get something GOING?
Add ISO Enter + Shift and I'm in.
If this happens we should consider throwing in a single R1 1u \| in Dolch regardless of the overall color scheme. It's the only thing missing from Ivan's Dolch GB to achieve HHKB (assuming you are flexible with existing keys for the bottom row).Haha this is actually a good idea.
HHKB
[...]
1x 1u "`~" - Row 1
...so I'd love to see something in red, orange, or either of the dark blues....
Can I please suggest white legends as well?

I think N9(dark blue) would be pretty classy with white legends.
All because everyone just wants you to "add just this one more key."
:D
Could we not have two interest checks for GMK mod packs running at once?
It splits up the community and with an MOQ of 250 we're pretty much **** out of luck for tipping either of these now.
Also, stop suggesting dumb keys that don't need to be in packs.
Almost no one owns an FC660M to use two left shifts.

Pro tip: Get a keyboard with a short right shift. You can still fit an extra row.
Also, read that post from JD ;)

My point was I think there are lots of people who own the FC660M. :P

It's okay. Lots of people make mistakes. :))
We're here to support you, Ray.
Each GB will be different in color and keys available so as in any open market each potential buyer is free to choose, if you feel "split" just stick with your favorite one.The point is that if you're running two _similar_ group buys at a time, orders will be split. That's a very bad thing, since MOQ is so high. For this reason, the community should avoid running two similar group buys at the same time. Different colour doesn't mean they aren't similar.
Also, this is a free and open board so all comments are welcome, even yours that included some rather rough opinions, and try to tell others on what to say, it would be better to provide some facts and data and not only your hard feelings. But, even those are very welcome.

For real. Think of the greater good people. I remember when I first started coming here sets were always just the Winkey + Tsangan and that was it for the most part. Now every set has to have so many caps bundled that 90% of people will never use.

This is so important! I hate to propose cutting out support for all the fun layouts out there (HHKB, JD40, MX-Mini, etc.), but there was a time when the only option (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40520.0) was adding a tsangan kit (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31887.0) to your order.
It might seem like a travesty to "drop" support for the unique layouts, but it is a necessary thing to do to reach GMK MOQ (remember that Ivan's Purple Mod kit (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41017.0) only cost $41 and got 300 orders). We're playing two different games here between SP and GMK, and we're not doing a good enough job at playing GMK's game right.
I can't speak for everyone, but I have enough "standard" layout boards that I would still buy an interesting mod pack even if it couldn't fit every possible configuration I can imagine - and I would urge others to have the same mentality.

I did some RGB legend in dyesub in a groupbuy before... but otherwise I don't think so for Cherry.Show Image(http://iforce.co.nz/i/lgenbwma.yio.jpg)
I do fully agree GMK buys need to be timed out, and not having them compete. It's hard enough to make moq as it is in some cases if the colorway/key selection turns out to be less popular at the time. It's a real fine line it seems these days on key selection. People want every key, but they don't want to pay the prices such sets cost.
While I am myself predominately a 60% user, many are not. You may find it tougher to draw in enough buyers if only catering to 60%. That was a top complaint when I ran that purple mods set.
So with the soon to come Topre-to-MX sliders by the CtrlAlt team, I have had renewed interest in doing this small mod pack group buy with GMK. Ideally it would be designed to work with other GMK sets to match it so you could just replace the mods. The kit should only be around <20ish keys to keep it as affordable as possible.
This set I have in mind would be for HHKB ONLY. As this would be my first time doing any of this I want to keep it simple. Colors I have in mind are Green, Pink, and Orange. However I am open to suggestions. Right now I just want to check interest on the idea of a small mod pack specifically for HHKBs as well as nailing down the keys and legends.
Here are the keys I am considering:
Left Side Keys:
1x 1u Esc row - Row 1
1x 1.5u Tab - Row 2
1x 1.75u Control (full touch)- Row 3
1x 2.25u Shift - Row 4
1x 1u Alt - Row 4
Right Side Keys:
1x 1.5u Backspace - Row 2
1x 2.25u Enter - Row 3
1x 1.75u Shift - Row 4
1x Fn - Row 4
1x 1u Alt Gr - Row 4
Keys I need help with:
2x 1.5u "Command/Option"- Row 4
Issue: I am not sure what people would like as the legend for these.
1x 1u "\|" - Row 1
Issue: A lot of sets don't come with this key so I was thinking about choose 4 or 5 set that are very popular like Dolch and create this key so that people can use them with their original sets. I would need help choosing those 4 or 5 sets though.
Perhaps JTKeycaps could help us with this??
Also filled the form.
Damn, I just noticed this too. :-[
Oops!!! I am very interesting this. Especially is 1.5 in last row :-[

Sorry guys.. there just wasnt enough interest. But don't worry. After GhostJuggernaut and I run the RGBK group buy, we got plans for another set already and we will definitely have HHKB support :thumb:
