Massdrop just love shooting themselves in the foot. They JUST finished Sky Dolch and Dolch was run like less than a year ago anyway.

I'm guessing this is an oversight.  The set I purchased from them a few months ago was fine.

What is the difference between this set and the one Ivan ran not that long ago?

This set includes Esc keys with blue and green legends, whereas Ivan's set included an aqua colour pack.

Any other significant differences?

This is text mods, Ivan's was symbol. I love text mods, and can't stand sym mods so this GB is perfect for me

I wish this buy included some of the keys needed for a uniform and correct look for my HHKB.


There is no correct backspace like in Ivans GB.  :(

Yeah, sorry, just read through the MD comments and this thread (which I probably should have done before asking) ;)

Wonder if they are going to ship it in those plastic trays again.

These are from Originative.  The set I bought from them a few months back was bagged.

Did you get every key that was bought off him?  He was famous for shipping wrong sets of keys out and even shipped out missed number of keys.

This time he has to stand up and deliver on this because MassDrop admin won't allow any type of errors coming from his end.  MassDrop will do refunds when requested but then they shall go after him for any out of pocket expenses, they have pretty good lawyers on call when dealing with recalcitrant sellers.

Just trying to not get my hopes up regarding Sherryton here, but still a good GB if it means getting MORE Dolch with extras plus having MD cover my arse is a good enough guarantee for me.

The originative key set I bought was received without a key and then they blew me off when I tried to get it replaced. Good luck!

Weird, never had a problem getting a replacement for a missing key from him.

That's the thing - in the past some people have had their order shipped immediately, some have had to wait months.  Some people have received missing keys straight away, some are still waiting a year or more later.

Very inconsistent.

 :eek: I just sold my GMK "Bill Nye" CMYW set because I couldn't fall in love with the colors that just seemed out of place somehow, and now - after looking at your pic - I'm beginning to feel a wave of immense regret for selling. CMYW + Dolch = Gorgeous.

It always elevates the vision of perfection when CMYW is applied.

Grey and Darker Grey is the hallmark of the FIRST decent, conservative colour-way ever created but adding a little colour in it's midst - makes it your set to own on any keyboard.

Well said! What about the GMK Dolch Cyan color pack? I think that is also a great set to go with Dolch theme.

I've had both sets and mixed them with an og dolch. To my untrained eye the colors are exactly the same so I can confirm this.

Word. Dolch sets aren't even hard to find anymore, they come up on the 2nd hand market every couple of weeks. But people are lazy and won't do the leg work so we'll wind up running Dolch every 6 months until GMK folds or we all give up on keyboards.

We'll see in the wallet payout game, whether your so-called 'cough' 'cough' Manly Unicorn 'vomit forming in throat' key-caps, actually tip  ;D .

Nobody wants to spend money on a lamo-copy pretending to mimic a real Handarbeit, because 100% authenticity will always triumph in the end.
