I think backspace would be cooler but I haven't seen either one.

Elite keyboards stocks some escs, alts, ctrls, wasd, shifts, arrows and enter keys in blue, green, yellow and red.

I've been wanting a white on red Tab, Backspace, and Esc. Delete could be cool too.

Ive never ran a GB before, but i contacted GMK to see if this would be possible/ MOQ/ Pricing

MOQ will be 250, pricing shouldn't be too bad, especially if you can convince a retailer to hop on board with it too.

Got word back from GMK. Nubbs is right, it would be a 250 MOQ. And the price per key would be ~.94$ each which isnt bad.

I asked for a render, and an estimated lead time for just a single key like this.

Once that comes through i will start up an IC to gauge peoples interest.

It'd probably be worth it to do a couple caps, not just a red delete.  I know I wouldn't be interested in a red delete key, but if you do an accent pack with several keys, such as backspace, tab, caps lock or swapped caps/control, you're far more likely to get interest.

This is a good idea. Ill work through some ideas, and get some quotes. Then get an IC going.

I'd love to have more accents on the GMK sets. Rather than whole modifiers sets, matching Enter, Backspace, and Delete keys to go with the Esc's is fantastic.

Accents are the new esc key  :cool: - would be cool to see a white on red enter to go with the already prevalent red on white esc key

Do you have to colors? I have the GMK color codes and caps on hand, so if you need help there, let me know.  Or, if you're not able to run it, I could definitely handle the buy as well.

Have you checked out elite keyboards? They have a few white on red keys, including enter.

Percentage from profits?  LOL hopefully it won't have a GB fee.
Since GMK accepts euros, whoever runs it should account for conversion fees, as well as a 30c PayPal invoice fee, or else they will lose money.
