I feel like RGB mods have been done enough, even more so than dolch. I won't be joining this, but good luck.They haven't been done for some time. Also maybe Mr Killah will be adding something unique to this one :rolleyes:
I tried making a sample mockup for our better understanding, but I'm not sure if it contains everything you plan or not.

Yeah those would look fantastic with Ivan's/IMSTO black on black PBT sets.
This is what my IMSTO black on black set looks like. I would imagine Ivan's would be pretty similar, but perhaps with a different font/texture. Both are Cherry profile.Thanks for posting this!

Shame, I'm in on Ivan's buy and have no pics to show or I'd confirm, am of the few missing orders of that buy and set still need to be shipped.
What kind of legends would you guys like to see on the shifts? Text + symbol? or Symbol only?

Much interest. Would like a blank option, especially for the much hated Windows keys.
I was looking into it, but it is too close to BSPs price to be justified.Much interest. Would like a blank option, especially for the much hated Windows keys.
blanks as extra maybe?
Why hasn't there been a GMK group buy for a blank only set yet....might have to think of one.

As far as 1u keys go, I think orange or maybe even purple would be cool additions.

Lurkers and active members alike, please give us your feedback on your opinion of 1u windows keys or blanks.
I think that we will almost for sure include 1 matching fn key for split right shift layouts.
We are still on the fence about 1u window keys and or blanks.
I am currently in the process of getting a quote as well as contacting GMK for a mock up.
I just want to let people know I will try to be as responsive and helpful as possible. I work quickly and hope to get this out as soon as possible.
I'd like to see a 1u windows key, I use one on the left side of my board and a blank or fn on the right side (winkeyless layout with 1u keys in-between ctrl and alt)
plus it gives the set more "usability". If i have an ansi125 board and an ansi150 board, i have enough keys for BOTH!!!! (maybe not completely, but you get the idea)
does GMK offer old-school windows legends, or just the new windows 8/10 logo?

I think a 1u blank would be pretty safe. Windows keys are popular too, but then everyone has their preference of old/new logo as well.
There are a lot of good keys in this pack so far, but you might have to be mindful of unintentionally adding so many keys that brings the price to a point which may be too high for someone who would really only need 6 keys, which would endanger meeting the MOQ or something.
Blanks or not, please include ISO compability.It should already be there with the short shifts.

Like radio_killah said, short shift should allow perfect iso compatibility, but to have a symmetricay result, iso needs one 1u key (on the right of the left shift, maybe a blank key? or one with the >< symbols?). That is very nice and good for iso compatibility.
After that you could also add an iso enter key, but maybe it's a litte bit too much to ask for it. But I'd like it :-)Blanks or not, please include ISO compability.

I wont be including any compatibility kits for Iso other than including the short shifts for it. Ghost and I are not yet completely sold on including 1u blank/window keys just yet.
Hey there. So Ghostjuggernaught and I are thinking about running a RGBK mods group buy together. We are thinking about making this a simple no bull**** or frills set that will be comprehensive and offer as much compatibility as possible.
Here is a list of the keys we have in the set. Ghost and I have decided to just simplify things for now and we are going to get a mock up of just these keys. There are 24 keys in total, 8 control keys, 8 alt/alt gr keys, 7 shift keys, and 1 function key. Depending on the quote from GMK we may or may not add extra 1u blanks/window keys.
(Attachment Link)
We will be using V4 (Blue - Alt keys), V1 (Red - Control keys), and N7 (Green - Shift keys and Function key) with CR for the Black text.
We are contacting GMK and are going to get a mock up and quote as soon as possible. The interest check phase is planned to go until July 16th but is flexible depending on how quick communication between us and GMK is. The ordering period will be a month and is scheduled to start July 17th the day after the Interest check ends. The payment deadline will be approximately a month later around August 18th. We expect production to take 2-3 months. Then after that we will take between 2 and 4 weeks to ship out all orders. This is our skeleton schedule and nothing is set in stone.
When the group buy starts, we will have a google document to input orders. Orders will be invoiced at the end of each day that way we don't spend an entire week just doing invoices. You will however not be required to pay the invoice until the final due date. Unpaid orders at the deadline will be dropped.
Shipping is as follows, all CONUS orders will be shipped via USPS flat rate. The number of sets you order will determine if it is a small ($5.25) or medium ($11.30) flat rate box. International orders will ship out only after all CONUS orders are fulfilled. Ghostjuggernaught and I have already looked into some sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes for shipping. Shipping will also depend on the number of sets ordered since weight is the determining factor. International shipping should be around $15.
Here is the color palette of GMK just for reference.
its not too late to add CMYK!!
The mock up is in. Please comment! Your feedback is important. :thumb:Excited to be getting these, hopefully price is less than 40$

Only thing I am thinking about changing is maybe changing all the legends of the Alt keys to just "Alt" or if I add a little to the price, include 2 Alts of each size + 1 Alt Gr.
Let me know what you guys think. I think the Control and Shift keys are pretty much set in for full compatibility. :thumb:

Great mockup. I'm in.I would like an extra Alt key just for balance, and keep the Alt Gr, but I vote it stays regardless
I vote we keep the Alt Gr. Does the AltGr really bother ANSI users?

WAIT!
Did you match the opposite color for Alt and Control intentionally?
AFAIK red for Control and blue for Alt are the correct color scheme as below, aren't they?
We will be using V4 (Blue - Alt keys), V1 (Red - Control keys), and N7 (Green - Shift keys and Function key) with CR for the Black text.
New updated key list. I asked GMK to add some more alt keys to make both ansi and iso users happy.
The new set now has 2 of every alt key with 1 alt gr key in every size to compliment it.

Hi radio_killahWe are not planning on running the yellow mods at this time. Depending on how the GB goes it could be an additional key we include, but for know we are sticking with RGBK.
what about the yellow Win and Yellow Menu, i don't see it on your "mock up"
any way count me in.
Little disappointed we can't add three keys (menu and 2x win) when we added 4 alt gr for "flavor".
:'(

If I see enough interest in 1u R4 keys to warrant the price increase, then I will add them. I want this set as affordable as possible. Thank you for the feedback! It definitely will be taken into consideration :thumb:
I won't die if there's not AltGr but that adds a lot of value to a set for me.

49$ a set, maybe an extra Esc, everyone's happy.
Was it $49 before shipping? But like I said before, if we get more than enough orders I will gladly add menu/windows keys.
It still seems backwards to me to add 'Alt Gr' and ISO shift keys and say "I might add winkeys l8r", rather than the reverse.
It still seems backwards to me to add 'Alt Gr' and ISO shift keys and say "I might add winkeys l8r", rather than the reverse.I can't speak for everyone here, but there are a lot of ISO, as well as WKL users here. With that in mind we wanted to provide compatibility to those that are typically left out. I am not saying that there are not many WinKey users, but our initial plan was to run RGBK. With all of the interest in WK, we will consider it depending on cost and final order amount.
ISO user here, I don't get why people want the AltGr key, I think it looks much cleaner with two normal Alt.

I don't care for the 4 Alt Gr's, not having the right size key is one thing but it's a lot extra considering all I and many other need are:

This. It is supposed to be able to be used with any layout possible.
"Hate" is the wrong word, I just don't really care. As I said I think the normal Alt, beeing just one word, has a much cleaner look.ISO user here, I don't get why people want the AltGr key, I think it looks much cleaner with two normal Alt.lol, never heard of a ISO user that hated AltGr... crazy times we live! Do you know that AltGr is a historical combo for Control+Alt right? A bit of info for the newbies, btw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key
What's the consensus on paying for sorting for faster shipping? It's a hefty 2 euros per set, but it will allow for faster shipping.winkey
Other tid-bits of information are that MOQ is 250 sets just like normal. I am inquiring about extra keys at price breaks so if we do hit that then we will be looking at getting the 1u R4 window/menu keys. Price is still tentative as we must still figure out all of our applicable fees. We are hoping to have it around or below ~$40/set before shipping.
If that price is too high, we can look at cutting some of the "alt gr" keys. Please leave your feedback.
We will also have the bonus of being able to choose 1 key that is can be made using any of the three colors in the set. The legend can be whatever we want but it will most likely be a "code", "joker", or "esc". Which color and legend would you guys like to see? Red, Blue or Green?

I would personally think more people are going to be using this with Classic Beige, and if I had to guess, I would guess more people are going to be putting classic beige on wkl layoutsI am inquiring about extra keys at price breaks so if we do hit that then we will be looking at getting the 1u R4 window/menu keys.
Why 1u? 1.25u would be more useful to people than a non standard 1u size

I should mention that this extra key would be row 1. However as long as we get enough orders for a price break Ghost and I are prepared to add on yellow windows keys.
I have to put my vote on a red Esc with black lettering.
Basic, but it'd look perfect with Photek's beige and keep the theme of both. Besides, if it doesn't exist on google, I want itShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/yCS5i2n.png?1)
If orange/etc. were preferable because of the color conflict with Control, I'd understand--just love me some red Esc's

To me this mockup :Well this is a freebie being thrown in by GMK, so it would only be on cap.Show Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=72899.0;attach=104197;image)
is still perfect.
But if people want Esc Key, black on Red is great . But put at least 2 in it, not just one, since this kit can populate at least 2 boards.
Be carefull about not adding too much caps It can raise the price of the kit by a lot.

International shipping is a bit too high for my liking. I'm really interested in doing/seeing a EU/UK based GB of the same keys/colour schemeIt's often a challenge to meet GMK's MOQs, running two group buys doesn't make it easier. Maybe you could arrange something like for the Classic Beige group buy, where Photekq does Europe and the CONUS stuff is send to Hoff.

IIRC from previous group-buys run by Ivan, it is apparently cheaper to get the entire order shipped to the US and then ship smaller orders back to the EU. I think this is because VAT needs to be paid when GMK delivers to the EU whereas it doesn't when delivered to the US.
Of course VAT may need to be paid buy the buyers anyway for larger orders shipped back into the EU and I have been caught out by that more than once...
too bad you couldn't arrange with an european for this buy.I think you misunderstand.
We are effectively making two orders with GMK.
One ships to Hoff in the USA - USA and non-EU orders. No VAT is paid on these sets. This was done in order to keep things as cheap as possible for non-EU buyers.
One ships to me in the UK - EU orders. VAT is paid on these sets (I pay GMK 20% extra). The bonus is that you pay no import fees, which would not be the case if Hoff shipped all orders.
Should note that VAT would be paid regardless of which EU country the GMK order shipped to. Blame the EU for this, seriously :-X

I think I am going to get the CMY from massdrop, and the RGB right here :thumb:

I assume no way to add a Command key to this set? in 1.25? could be same as windows key in yellow
What legend should it have?I assume he means command key as in Mac, so it would have to be pad printed.I assume no way to add a Command key to this set? in 1.25? could be same as windows key in yellow

Something like the ones used by ocodoI recently had a AEK style layout made for a WASD (lovely keyboard btw)Show Image(https://cdn.mediacru.sh/ZWoBKcb0C3Fl.svg)
The final product... (you may prefer a more conservative color scheme.)Show Image(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4B3CORCYAADGlI.jpg:large)Show Image(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4B2-DICAAEisQe.jpg:large)Show Image(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4B2z7uCAAA_Vfo.jpg:large)
Laser etching on the white keys has better crispness than the colored keys.What legend should it have?I assume he means command key as in Mac, so it would have to be pad printed.I assume no way to add a Command key to this set? in 1.25? could be same as windows key in yellow
If that is the best option... I guess that would have to do.
If pad printing is used can colors be used for the apple logo?
Thank you guys for all the feed back. It seems like there is unanimous support for a red escape key with black text so I think we will be going with that.I am a wkl user, and stand strong for 1.5, but 1.25 will benefit more from this.
The group buy is scheduled to go live next Friday and we will keep the ordering period open for about a month.
At this time, the currently posted render is what Ghost and I will be going with. Price is also being finalized.
Like previously mentioned, window/menu keys will be added depending on the number of orders and the price breaks.
Would the community like to see 1u or 1.25u extras? If we reach a price break I think that most likely we will only be able to afford one of these options. Also these would be black text on yellow to keep in theme with the rest of the set.
Thanks for the support everyone :p

It's a question because they won't have enough funds for 1u AND 1.25u extra yellow keys, so they need to see what the majority is...Thank you guys for all the feed back. It seems like there is unanimous support for a red escape key with black text so I think we will be going with that.

No? But usually wkl boards have blockers in them, or at least the majority of the users who use the WKL sets.

My previous statement still stands.
Is there some sort of Tsangan/WKL reality distortion field I just don't know about because my keyboards are all using a contemporary standard bottom row?
Hey everyone! So everything is on schedule for the group buy to start this Friday 7/17. Ghost and I just need to put the last couple of final details together and we are ready to go.
From the feedback, it seems like our extra freebie key will be a R1 Esc key in red with black text. It seemed like an overall favorite.
As for yellow window/menu keys, whether or not we add them is up to how many orders we get. Once we hit a price break we can then think about adding them. If there is a price break the 2 keys added will most likely be R4 1.25u Yellow (color code - CV)Windows keys with a Black (color code CR) windows 8 symbol. If we reach an even higher price break we can work on adding 1u yellow windows keys as well.
Thanks guys!

Can we havefor those who love WinKeyLess, but still want the Fn keys.
- two (2) R4 Fn (1.0 wide) and
- 2 (two) R5 Fn (1.0 wide),
And I'd also go for a red Esc.
(sorry for requesting that so close to the GB :blank:)

No
The RGB mods aren't supposed to go on winkeys
There is already a 1u Fn key - this is meant for those with the 1.75 shift + 1 fn combo
Red Esc is available from a bunch of places. If you want it you can already get it online.

The Red Esc is happening, it's the "bonus cap" offered by GMK.
The one available is the Red with white legends, you can't find easily red with black legends.
As for Fn keys, if we want to add them, we need to do 1.25u too for poker user, then comes the menu ,the winkeys, it never ends and we end up with a 50keys mod kit that cost too much.
Good news everyone!
I just got word back from GMK that we have a price break at 400 sets! That price break is large enough that GMK says we could add up about 4 keys and keep the price relatively the same.
This is huge because with those extra 4 keys we can include both the two 1u and two 1.25u windows keys! So as long as we get to 400 we will include those keys per the communities request.
As for our timeline, everything is on schedule. The group buy period will open for 1 month until August 17th, and we will start invoicing at that time, or sooner if we hit MOQ before that deadline. Production time is estimated at 8 weeks.
Thanks guys. Have a good one.

Is the color decided on the winkeys?
Would love to see orange :p

Black on yellow to keep within the theme of the set.
It's probably too late, and I don't know whether this already came up, but a R3 1.75 Control and some R4 1.25/1.5 blanks would be greatWe have discussed this, but decided against it. We are trying to stick to the classic rgb theme, while maximizing compatibility.
Actually someone should probably start a GMK Blanks IC/GB - they are extremely rare

Quick question - why are international orders only shipping after all CONUS has been done?Most likely they will be in tandem, for the most part. I will be receiving the INTL orders after the CONUS orders. As soon as I have them, I will begin shipping. We are hoping to have all of them shipped in ~2 weeks though. I only put that INTL was second to give a buffer. I will have everything setup and ready to go as soon as I receive the INTL orders.
