Dolch meets SoWaRe? This looks...interesting?
https://www1.massdrop.com/buy/gmk-sky-dolch?mode=guest_open
-
Those alphas look really hard to read in the mockup. :-X
-
Who on earth designed this?
I love it.
-
Very cool.
-
Dolch meets soware? So.. Soware?
-
Definitely looks interesting. However, I think I would have preferred if it was a straight up SoWaRe replica.
Edit: Byker to the rescue https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74077.0 ;D

DolchWare? SoDolch?
-
No. Soware. GMK soware.
-
No led caps no buy
-
pass
-
No. Soware. GMK soware.
I was just trying to come up with something catchy. Obviously not going to catch on.
It's Soware through and through

That's some real ****ing abstract key/legend selection they have there. Absolutely disgusting.

Agreed, where's the IC?!
-
I don't get this...
Why ruin a perfect Dolch design and mix it...
If it's soware I would surely get it though font would be hard to read....
-
>:D
-
I'm getting in just for those mods. I'll probably replace alphas with the GMK Cyan feng set that will eventually exist.
-
Soware meets meh. Not a fan.
-
Total pass for me at this point I think dolch is getting boring. I'd buy it if it was a Soware replica.
-
I would probably consider it if the legends on the mods weren't all over the road.
-
Yea, I'm staring at my dolch board and trying to visualize the legends as blue and, the mods seem like they'd be cool, but the alphas just seem like they'd be hideous.
-
There seems to be a lot of similar designs right now either Shipping,in GB or in IC phase. I jumped on this right away but now after reading the comments from photekq and others and actually really looking at it I'm seeing some stuff I don't like. I really hope this is not the final mock up but as LastP said the set definitely has some stuff I would love to cannibalise for other sets. It has promise but seems it was birthed prematurely :eek:
Damn knee jerk keyboard purchases....
-
A better look at what the color of the mods will look like:

The all caps "CTRL" legends on the 1.5 mods seem weird. Are there other issues I'm not seeing? What is so offensive?

the fact that the 1.5 mods are R5 sucks too. doesn't match the arrows or the numpad bottom
-
I see some issues with this. MD really needs to step up their game or have Originative stop working with them. This is only an assumption, but they seem to have been recently working with them, and if Originative is helping out it might explain why it looks so ****y
-
this **** set is a culmination of collaboration between md and the keyboard community.
wait, can someone link me the ic, or any news about this set before it was run by md?
-

I too wonder if sheraton/sherryton had a hand in this

Apparently thus guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3fbykj/buying_gmk_sky_dolch_massdrop/ctnccnl
I'm having a hard time seeing what is so bad about the set. I agree the profile of the 1.5 mods is a little strange. Personally, I've had enough Dolch that I'm not really that attracted to the color scheme. But, I'm not really understanding the angry vibe. Is it just cause it's Massdrop and there wasn't an IC?
-
Well for the past few weeks I have been talking to Christoph about getting a SoWaRe replica set or a set inspired by SoWaRe at least! If people are still interested I can continue on my planning for running this group buy, otherwise I can drop it and let MD run a crappy version. :p Alternatively, I could run an add-on pack for this Sky Dolch set, which would have the rgby kit. Feel free to pm me one way or the other so I can get a feel of what the community would prefer.

Please make your set byker. Please.
-
The extra modifiers are definitely not well thought out. I don't know why people insist on having partial-R5 layouts and/or partial R4 layouts with GMK sets. These are $120 keysets, it's tough to justify a "kinda fits". Penny wise, pound foolish.
And byker, run the real SoWaRe for GMK.
Honestly I don't think a GMK set without GH hype will get to MOQ in 16 days. If MD were smart they'd start marketing these big MOQ drops (like the alps caps) on the forums prior to dropping.

MD set is trash. Do everyone a favor, and throw up that IC to get the HYPE flowing. :thumb:

R5 mixed with R4 is awful, I have tried it. I have also tried R5 and I am not a big fan of it

Screw the MD set. I'd much rather see a faithful SoWaRe replica by you! Get that IC going.

beige alphas 100x better
-
Not only are colors off but mod keys as well are an odd choice to say the least.
Bunny has shown us with Hyperfuse what the perfect set looks like with support for 75%, HHKB and 1800
I really hope this drop doesn't succeed but I'm thinking it will. Would much prefer a genuine SoWaRe replica to this
-
+ I get the feeling that this is being run now with the hope that people start posting photos of Hyperfuse - whose modifier key/legend colour combo is the same as the alphas in this
-
Maybe if no one participates in this, it will give a hint to MD that they should communicate more with the community

Well, I was thinking "why not both?" but now skolch (that's it's real name even if I'm the only one calling it that) sounds much better.
-
Wow, the circlejerk happening in here is ****ing disgusting.
-
I am noticing how much hate Sky Dolch is getting here, and I don't understand why. Is it because it's a "big" company like Massdrop?
I personally like Sky Dolch and probably will get GMK Dolch here too.

Jesus tapdancing christ people.
These threads went to ****ing **** fast. The hyperbole on both sides is insanity. Everyone needs to calm the hell down, we're talking about colors on goddamn keycaps.
Chill da fuk out.

I don't think anyone needs to get mad. I am sorry if you feel like I was circlejerking or whatever, but I have been planning a Soware set for a while, and have talked to multiple members here about it. My intention is not to put down this keyset, if you want it, by all means buy it. I just wanted to let people know my intention of running a similar set sometime in the future. I will stop talking about other sets in here now. :-X

So a couple people don't like it and now it's all of GH.
-
Sky Dolch looks like ****. And mixed profiles again? Ugh.
-
[...] And mixed profiles again? Ugh.
Yeah, that's my problem too.
Right now it always seems like GMK sets try to support everything, but also try to keep key counts down, leading to sets like this.
I wonder if there would be enough interest in a "Modern GMK"* set that concentrates on newer 40/45/60/65% layouts. Jettison 1800 support, R5, and hell maybe even all the ten keys.
* Maybe "Trendy GMK" would be the better moniker -- but that would also be terribly redundant :)
-
All these rehashed color ways are so ****ing boring now
Dolch
Soware
Skidata
Retro
-
I think this Sky Dolch set has nice colours, but whoever designed the set has absolutely no experience with GMK.
Instead of picking interesting legends and keys to add as extras, such as a delete symbol for the HHKB backspace, the guy picked a weird CTRL in caps legend for the 1.5 keys, which looks good on a vintage keyset like TA but completely horrible on a modern set like this.
This just tells me that the guy running this has absolutely no design integrity, or any understanding of what the community prefers, and straight up ripped off the TA mockup for the layout.
I still like the colours and everything, but this might be difficult to support.
Edit: Not to mention, mixed profiles. He really just 100% ripped off TA.
-
Massdrop are pretty awful at communicating with the community. I think after the GMK TA drop they have just started seeing GMK sets as some massive cash cow that can be used without IC or consultations (note: Intelli did a lot of consultation and that's why TA worked so well IMO)
-
pass
-
The colors are meh. Has nothing to do with MD or not.
-
7Bit's Round 4 "Retro" style was almost like this one, but with lighter alphas. That set was not particularly well received, mostly because the light legends on light alphas were hard to read.
There are some pictures of it at the bottom of its Wiki article (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Round4_Retro).
-
All these rehashed color ways are so ****ing boring now
Dolch
Soware

Retro
FWIW Skidata has only been done once before by Originative, and they ****ed that up pretty badly. Retro has only been ran twice, but so has Miami, and Hyperfuse has been run 3 times, and Olivetti / CB have been done a good bit as well. RA color ways regardless of Mods / Alphas colors has been run a lot as well. Things are obviously run a lot. Dolch is run too much, but Soware itself has only been run once as well. Soware is WYSE base colors, while skolch is sky blue Dolch.

I'm not against the idea of gmk soware. I'm just bored of everything being a version of dolch.
I'd love to see tj's orange crush set be made. But people would rather run the same GB every other month. Isn't there an IC for a Russian set also?
Red alert is another that needs to be given up on. Three SP sets and one GMK set. We have some talented people here, I don't see the need to keep going back to the same things over and over. Plus I hate dolch.

I agree, Dolch-style colorways have been overplayed, even though it is one of my favorite sets. Orange crush will be a really nice set, as there seem to be no more new sets being made and only re-done versions done. Originality seems to be lacking, but I am glad some things are being done in Cherry profile as I personally can't stand DCS caps.
-
Eh, I really don't care for profiles. Just as long as it isn't god awful SA.
Cherry is fine, dcs is fine. Only reason I'd pick gmk over sp is for the thicker key caps. If I'm going to pay $$ I'd want my money's worth.
I'd just really love a nice Orange on light grey set. Bunny's purple set was a breath of fresh air tbh. I'm sad I missed out on that.
-
iirc massdrop favors reddit users HEAVILY over GH users
this set is weak at best, i'm not sure who's idea this was, but it's not good
we need some new colorways, but nobody wants to run them because they're worried about them not selling
people will still buy DCS if the colorway is good, and if it's like $40, that's enticing to a lot more people, especially the reddit audience
no more dolch
no more "retro"
no more SA
white/purple would be hot
-

I would, as well.

Run by Pacifist. You can judge for yourself on that one, but I wouldn't go anywhere near it. Why won't that idiot **** off to reddit or somewhere already, and leave us alone?
-
I ask myself that of many users. Sadly I'm not in charge of who stays and who goes. TIL pac is back.
-
yeah pac is back for what seems like the 20th time
and i still think he's a knob
-
Well the knob-ends keep coming back because of the siren call of money and people just keep throwing it at them.

Massdrop loves reddit, they are "enthusiasts" with a larger group of users who will blindly follow hype. They don't care about geekhack and the real enthusiasts. Definitely a cash cow for them.. Especially with the popularity of GMK this year.. Massdrop is taking this niche hobby and exploiting it for all it is worth.. Nothing on massdrop is ever worth buying anymore in their mechanical keyboard section.
Also bunnylake and Jtkeycaps just did a white on purple set which is supposed to be in cherry profile. Not GMK but still a new colorway for the community.

I would, as well.

If you actually go back and check that thread, MGH/Pacifist actually just quit again lol. He is quitting just as more and more people are finding out he is back.
The cyrillic GMK dye sub set is still set to happen though in tandem with Potek's beige.
-
Can people come up with some ****ing original names for their keysets or are we just going to call everything Dolch? The original wasn't even that great.
-
Wow, the circlejerk happening in here is ****ing disgusting.
Maybe it's not a circlejerk. Maybe people just don't like the set because it's a badly thought out set.
-
THIS LOOKS LIKE **** AND THE GB DIDN'T START ON GH SO I H8 IT!
SHOULD CHANGE THE NAME TO POO DOLCH BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF POOP ON DOLCH.
How did I do?
-
THIS LOOKS LIKE ****
You could have stopped there
-
:))

It can be pretty hard to judge from GMK mock ups, as their colors are always way off... it could look OK, but the cyan on light grey would likely have some contrast issue. The legends are a bit here and there also. Not really my cup of tea either way.
Coming up with original colorways that people actually will get behind enough to make it to MOQ with GMK ain't easy. People like rehash as they can see what it actually looks like on some existing vintage board or prior run.

Yeah. I mean I think a set with UN6037 alphas and UN4056 mods, with opposite color legends, would look pretty cool, but 1. Too close to reversed hyperfuse 2. It's basically purple Miami 3. Too much risk of two midtones being illegible like Miami is to me 4. Who the hell else would even use something like that, and I'm not sure *I* even would, I just think it would look cool. :P
This is... I dunno, I don't hate it, but it does nothing at all for me.
-
Wow, the circlejerk happening in here is ****ing disgusting.
i suppose people are angry because GMK sets, as per tradition, have mostly been collaborative endeavors. now you have an outsider commercial entity (with almost non-existent community presence) trying to join the fray and it certainly feels like toes are being stepped on
that and the set is just awful

No thanks

I'm noticing that in the mock up picture, the F and J keys have nubs. Every other GMK set I've seen uses the scooped F and J keys. Is scooped vs. nubs a choice that GMK normally offers?

I believe that they also offer a scoops with nibs option as well
-
This is very misleading by the way: https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/MD-9903_20150730224207_ad5d467e4667e0fa.jpg?auto=format&fit=crop&w=376&dpr=1
That alpha actually looks tolerable, however, it's not CC, that photo gives the impression that the base is actually white
-
Doesn't look like old Sky Dolch is doing that well. I wonder if it will hit MOQ
-

-

It needs to get at least 250 orders to happen
-
I'm 99% sure it will launch whether it hits MOQ or not
I'm not sure whether I should join tho, apart from the contrast issues, it has all the keys that I want, a 1.25 "Ctrl" and it would be just perfect
-
Yeah I wonder if Sherryton/Sheraton is teaming up with MD for this.
-
The colors chosen for this set are fine and are actually a pretty good combo, but they botched their usage of them. I think something like light grey alphas, darker-blue mods, and dark grey ledgends would look better.
It sucks b/c I'm newish to this and sorta want a GMK set. Maybe I'll wait for the SNES GB :/
-
I can certainly agree that I find rehashes of OG sets somewhat lame and yet can understand their appeal at the same time. It fills in gaps that OG boards had when paired with modern layouts, whether unavailable altogether or a rare variant that would be cost prohibitive for most to acquire. I also think that all the hate on this Dol-WaRe set is a little ridiculous. People are going to buy it anyway. It almost seems like it's a bureaucratic thing where, because it did not go through the normal process chain of IC -> approval -> GB, it's getting torn to shreds.
Also, considering mock-ups, I must say that Triumph Adler looked no where near as nice in mock up as it does in pictures post-delivery. I'm sure this set will look fine and dandy, though I will confer that there was a bit of a faux pas in not getting community feedback for this set, and that has left us with mismatched profiles and certain design quirks, but overall, I still think it's a nice set.
This community is funky. I love it, but it's funky.
-
After seeing how TA was handled, I'd be skeptical to join this GB.
-
I am just not feeling the color of the legends...
-
Sky Dolch looks like ****. And mixed profiles again? Ugh.
I don't think it looks that bad. But the difference between a set like Sky Dolch and a set that is community designed is all in the details. I feel like if someone here posted this set in a proper [IC] people would definitely jump behind it, though the feedback would help clean up a lot of the small issues and details. The details really are what make a set worth the premium price, in my opinion.
-
No scoops no join
-
Apart from the questionable colors, I think it appeals extremely well to the non-GMK users, mainly because of the lined F/J's - which is pretty much used by all other/regular keysets
The Extra keycap selections are pretty good too, but cyan as legends ... that's bad - if they lightened the CC alpha base to another color (a white one), I think it could have been good (as in the example photo they put in the description, which I deemed as misleading)
I'm still not sure whether I should join for a single set or not
-
**** ugly. Seriously, all these damned GMK drops and still no-one has done a proper Red Alert set. And no that beige monstrosity with red legends doesn't count, I mean like below dammit! Bonus points if it gets made with red mods.

did i mention that i think this set looks dumb?
because i think this set looks dumb
it's an ugly SoWaRe/dolch monstrosity.

maybe red too but blue was not a wise choice imo
Yolch is the only real answer to this question.

How many variations of the Dolch colours do we really need?

white on magenta modifiers would be awesome for Dolch, same goes for the 3B for an army-like vibe

I pushed and pushed for 3B. Sadly, everyone failed to realize how awesome it would be, especially with classic beige.

Well, you have +1 supporters now :)
I hope billinye's next TKL pack is 3B
AE is awesome at first, I think it's the optimal affirmative-green color too, however after some usage it kind of gets boring/overwhelming

man, ya'll got to realize most people don't own a million GB sets and want the Dolch/Retro set people rave about.
That said, I don't like this. The contrast hurts my eyes makes it hard to read, but idk, maybe it's just the GMK mockup

So buy a Dolch set? They're have been four runs of them made now, they really aren't that hard to find anymore.

Geekhackers are far from "most people".

GMK sets (most keycap sets, really) almost always look better in person.

Anyone who has expressed interest in a GH-run GMK Soware, please check out this thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74077.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74077.0) I am sorry for filling up this thread with a different group buy!
beige alphas 100x better

After seeing Skidata+'s base color, N9, I'm regretting not getting Sky Dolch, they would mix at extreme levels

I thought the Drop failed and the set doesn't get made.
Or will Massdrop do it anyway?

I have a hunch the 250-#massdrop sets will be available from Originative, so I guess I shouldn't regret it, 100 times better than getting it from Massdrop
I checked the Massdrop update, they placed the order as it seems

Yeah I was surprised by this as well
I'm not sure what Sherryton is up to at the moment given that he seems to be using MD to offload some of his older stock. Maybe he is providing the capital upfront for making GMK buys happen?
-
He seems to cover costs and recover them later on from sales
GB's are risk free, but ideally, it's better this way, paying for something and waiting for 2-4 months isn't too fun, it especially amplifies the heartbreak in case of a problem

So I totally missed this buy. I like this set a lot because it's pretty similar to the color pack that came with Ivan's GMK dolch. If anyone is interested in selling their spot in this buy, let me know!

Just wait for the extras to be directly available, 90% they should be, don't complicate your life by adopting a second-hand unknown
I'll probably get a set myself, to potentially mix with the Skidata+

Don't suppose anyone who bought this GB wants to sell me their set?
