UPDATE:
I have decided to go with GMK/Cherry profile.
MOQ will be 60/120 payed orders for the set which will include custom colors & legends.
It will be a single set/pack like Hyperfuse was.
Gray on blue for alphas & blue on black for mods.
Originative Co. will be the vendor.
This is still an IC so some things may or may not change.
Expand Keyboard & Co. SA below if you need a refresher on colors etc.

Most people favored the black mods so gray caps are now an optional addon.

Intro:
Hey gh, this is a set I've been working on for a awhile that I call Keyboard & Co.
The colors are based off the 05 Dunk SB collab release with Diamond Supply Co which most people may know as, Tiffany's".

At the moment the set is planned to be uniform SA row 3.
I'm thinking about having the base set be the alphas & obsidian mods + TKL since I like that look better & have the platinum keycaps be an add on if people want.
This is an interest check so I put them separate since you would have extra keys if you're a < TKL user & maybe people prefer alphas & mods separate etc, we'll see :)

Looks nice, but hopefully the alpha legends wont be too faded.
I had this same thought. Like the look of the set but wondering about those legends against BFQ.
Post by: switchnollie on Sun, 10 January 2016, 23:56:43
Really like this shade of blue, I'm thinking about blue alpha + black front.
I tried that but I mainly went against using it since it made it look like a reverse Pulse set.
Tried it just now with mod font changed to GoB & one with gray font for all. Actually liking the gray font for all which could eliminate the need any gray add on packs.
[attachimg=1]
Looks nice, but hopefully the alpha legends wont be too faded.
Not sure if the color chip photos are accurate but the gray looks dark enough to be seen well on blue.
The colors in the mock-ups were just color codes from DT's wiki.
Might buy the color chips if I can't find anyone with them soon :thumb:

If what everyone is saying about the grey looking darker in real life then I think that would be the better color. Either way, count me in for a set!Yeah, I'll be back with more accurate color chip photos soon to help solve that issue :p
Hmn. This mockups look quite good!Thanks kenshin :)
I like the look, but the color scheme is very similar (maybe more inverse) to this:Hmm yeah I can see why you might say that, reminds me more of DSA Quartz since there's no black & it's mostly gray with blue accents rather than mostly blue.

7bit's Round 4 Retro set used BFQ. You may want to check out pictures of that set on the DT wiki to see if it is really the color you want. I have the R4 set, and to me BFQ looks too washed out in real life. It may look better on a set like this though.Hey I'll check it out :thumb:
I remember hearing about this after posting my board with my tiff highs on reddit. I'm super hyped to see this coming along nicely. A swoosh would probably be asking too much for the novelty pack... but maybe a SB logo?Hey thanks :) I don't think I'll put any logos in it though, with JTK Sophomore I believe there was a problem with the Cola spacebar & same with the Out of the Vault GB that used, "logos".
I like the color scheme but not a fan of "Brilliant" being the backspace and wondering why there is no Ctrl and Alt caps. I know there is another kit having Backspace but I can't justify buying another kit just for one key. Renders can go a long way though to generate some interest, I'm still undecided until I can see what it actually looks like. Best of luck :thumb:Hey Steezus that's my bad :p awhile after I posted this I switched it to regular backspace & put that in novelties for anyone that wanted to make the set more Tiffany & Co. themed. Just haven't updated it yet since I wanna do that all at once when I see BFQ more. But for ctrl & alt I usually don't see them when there's meta & hyper etc which is why. Thanks :)

Nice job on the set, OP. Just not for me - the Cash, Money, and Shine Novelties sum up my feelings :pHaha yeah can't please everyone :p I'll have to look around for that though! All I've seen maybe use a color or 2 lightly but the only set remotely close I can think of is Pulse which wasn't lately ofc.

The color chips look good. I'm curious about how the gray/blue combo will look with legends so I decided to use my incredibly poor Gimp skills to slap the two together, using one of the chip pics on here. Here's the result. Hint, there's some GTL gray on the BFQ chip.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/C0cp0O7.jpg)
Ooh good idea! I should've done that :)
Looks nice, a lot more elegant with BFQ than the black legend by it.

I think including some GH and r/mk keys in the novelty set would be greatOh f'sure on geekhack, if there's enough interest I can include r/mk as I don't frequent it.
Mostly go there just to see any good photos, techmattr's shots are hot hot hot.
Have you thought about getting a render made for this set yet? You've generated quite a bit of interest.Not really, camper makes some quality renders if you were referring to those tho :eek:
It's nice to have but many great keysets have run without them.
I'd like use my extra cash to make gifts & such for friends rather than make my IC flashier.

I would say that a render gives people a better idea on what they'll be receiving. Could convince some people who may be on the fence about the set.

2 quick questions before I do:
- Should it be a TKL render? 60% is my jam & all I have but TKL might show off the set better.
- Would you rather have a base set of alphas + black mods with gray as optional kits or have the base be alphas with an option to go black or gray kind of like Deep Space with purple or blue kits? Maybe even scrap most of the the gray mods & just have a gray color pack for certain keys? Like enter & F1-4 + F9-12 etc.

Hey, it's just good business. I'll even make a little donation to help pay for that service. :thumb:
I think you should go with a TKL render. You're absolutely right, it would show off the set better.
I personally like the black mods more than gray, but that's up to you or the rest of the interested parties. Beyond that I don't think you should change it too much, since people have shown interest in what you've already got.

I think the grey option kit might be a good idea. The sticker shock for 2 seperate mod packs at low MOQ can kill a set, and by just having one base set with slight additions makes the whole keyset more cohesive.

I'm all for the black mods. It creates much more contrast.

That novelty pack is pure gold. Can we have a 😏 keycap too, pretty please?
Haha maybe :p besides the Diamonds I might remove them to keep costs lower & just include geekhack keys etc.

I was thinking that doing that might lower the price overall rather than buying alphas, mods & TKL kit too but I'm not sure.
I'll go that way since so far everyone's been for black mods.
The kits I have in mind now are the base(covers a standard TKL board), Tsangan, ISO, numpad, novelties & gray accent kit.

My 2¢ on the novelties, I'm not a huge fan of the fire but the diamonds are pretty sweet! I really like having the CASH and MONEY keys but I don't really understand the purpose of EXIT and dive care too much for the SHINE.

My 2¢ on the novelties, I'm not a huge fan of the fire but the diamonds are pretty sweet! I really like having the CASH and MONEY keys but I don't really understand the purpose of EXIT and dive care too much for the SHINE.
Exit was kinda for like an exit sign of a store haha I scrapped it already, Shine was for shine like a diamond & that I like Super Smash Bros. Melee.
I'd recommend adding a "GEEK HACK" key to the novelties. :cool:
Definitely! Already added in the updated mockup which hasn't been uploaded :thumb:
Definitely interested. I love Tiffany Blue, sneaker culture, and SA profile :D.
Edit: Also very into the novelty set.
Thanks for the interest :thumb:
Definitely sneaker culture inspired :D (fire emoji)
It's a shame SB stopped releasing decent stuff IMO, trainers have been looking very strong tho. Acquired some Coil R1's recently but ROOS are super uncommon in the states so I won't be getting more anytime soon :)) :confused:
I love all the novelties, but I'm a total sucker for that, and I do understand that it brings the cost up. IMO go for as many as you feel you semi-realistically can.
Yeah, I've decided to make gray caps a separate kit if since most if not everyone has favored black mods.
Doing so might just scrap the gray novelties which should help reduce space to add apolotary's smug emoji etc.
Interested, but I prefer standard modifier names and not Hyper, Meta, etc.
Hey xondat, I've actually changed them already. Just waiting on camper to work his magic before I update mockups :thumb:
Control, Super, Alt, Space, Alt, Super, Meta, Control is currently the setup for a standard bottom row.

Hey the grape SB dunks that came out this year were pretty cool. I'm heavy into runners though. Just picked up a pair of asics Gel Sights while I was traveling. ****ing love asics.
Oh shoot those aren't bad, don't check up on them often but I don't know how I missed that one since I like grape.
No doubt, asics is at the top of the game right now.

Ayyy, now that's what I'm talking about. The 3D renders look great. This is just my personal opinion but I feel like the grey lettering on the alphas should be a bit darker, kind of hard to see them.
I tought this as well, but the lighting might just blocking a bit on the renders, possible in real life the contrast could be more visible? Looking at the color chips side by side they seem to contrast pretty well.

Why not have a last keys of the alphas rows (last 2 keys on row 3, last 2 keys on row 4, and last 2 keys on row 5) be the symetrical color of the alphas? or maybe include these keys also in the color splash kit with the black on grey colors?

Also a bit off a personal opinion, but since this is in IC phase i'll just trow it out there:

Sorry pes, I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at ^-^
Are you talking about adding blue mods?
Love the pack execution, novelties, everything. Straight fire. One thing you might want to add are black spacebars. And maybe put the iso and numpad splashes in a different kit? Like add the grey mods by default to numpad and both iso enters/blanks to an iso kit.
Thanks thanks, yeah totally gonna have a lil spacebar section like most buys have.
Yeah that makes perfect sense tho, not a lot of people use numpads(from what I see anyway).
Can combine the gray ISO enter with the black ISO enter & short shift into an ISO kit as well :thumb:
That should definitely reduce the amount of people having keycaps they won't use :)
The renders look amazing! Also, I second darkening the legends on the alphas to match with the darker mods. I think it would make it all pop a little bit better.
True, it would definitely have more contrast but I feel like it would stray a bit too far from the silver, "swoosh" since that's the closest color to silver SP has.
The renders are a bit brighter than the chip photos & I'd agree with pes that they'd look more visible IRL.
Kind of like the yellow caps from CMYW, white on yellow is f'sure not contrasty(is that a word?) :)) but you can still see them fine in person.
Plus there's already a lot of high contrast keysets right? :p

Making ISO a separate kit, listing spacebars for addon & moving the gray numpad to the numpad kit.
There might be a bit more but so far everyone seems fine with what the base kit includes etc :thumb:

I'm not sure if anyone else agrees with me here, but the legends on the alphas appear a little hard to read.

This was actually posted before Flatline if that's what you meant :)
I'm busy working on sleeves & want to see how Flatline + that other set roll out.
Don't wanna make you have to choose between 2 sets either since the majority can't buy 2 SA sets at once :p
I also read that SA is a no go for new sets until April & this would fall in that category since I haven't contacted SP yet.
Very stoked that you're interested in my set tho! ^-^ :-*
The renders look amazing. And that keyboard on hardwood floor? :thumb:
I'm not sure if anyone else agrees with me here, but the legends on the alphas appear a little hard to read.
Thanks Fisherman :)
I think that's mostly just the renders tho, it looks very bright & well lit making even the black keys look brighter than Booper's shots.

Curious to see what pricing is going to be on this with the supposed SA cap increases per SP.
Also interested in what pricing is going to look like here. The is a possibility that Flatline will be produced in another profile (maybe GMK =] ) which could give you a nice boost in support for this set.
Yeah I just read about that, very unfortunate :(
I like GMK but Sifo's direction with SA is the right way IMO.
It looks like Massdrop will be the only option to go with price-wise, which I don't mind.

I don't mind going with Massdrop either, or a PMK gb (they use nice boxes!) if anything you have a little extra assurance and you have someone to turn to if you get damaged or missing keys.
Besides the cool boxes, is there any big difference from using Massdrop compared to PMK that you know of?

Massdrop could potentially negotiate a lower cost than SP would give us running through PMK purely due to the number of large orders that they place with them.
Post by: switchnollie on Thu, 28 January 2016, 02:27:43
In my experience and what I've seen, it seems like PMK/SP has better shipping. MD shipping has been questionable. And I'm not just saying that because of TA. I've had other stuff from MD come in bad packaging.
I'd really like to see this set be on my board but I'm conflicted with the info we got from Flatline :(
Yeah, I'm with you there on Massdrop's shipping.
I bought a TEX acrylic from them and it was just the case in a box with less than par packing material.
Same with some mods, just in a bag with little cushion in a box.
That info really set up a road block for SA sets atm tho :(
PMK means getting the sets straight from SP. MassDrop means going through their distribution warehouse. On the plus side, MassDrop does bring in a larger number of potential customers which may be helpful in bringing down kit costs.
Massdrop could potentially negotiate a lower cost than SP would give us running through PMK purely due to the number of large orders that they place with them.
Shipping aside, Massdrop is very tempting with the talk of it being the lowest price.
I wanna choose the path that saves everyone the most money unless there's other concerns, besides shipping.
If there's any damaged keys I'm sure they can get replacements quickly.

I believe that's the case. They'll then sell the leftovers off at some later date when they do their warehouse clean-up sales on the site. They did one not all that long ago.

Moved big enters to a separate ISO kit.
Moved the gray numpad addons from the splash kit to numpad kit so < tenkey users don't end up with useless caps if they splash up.
I plan to include spacebars(7U & 6U in NN & BFQ?) as well but you all know what those look like already.

Hey William, no one here's ask for it but I plan to include the kits if it goes into a buy :thumb:
Ergodox's & Plancks are on the rise especially with the recent buys on Massdrop.
Uniform keycaps look/work the best on them IMO.
DSA blanks, Granite & 1976 to name a few so it would be a great idea to include them :)

It's not too late :) just another 2.25 left shift basically?
Also, I have 0 experience with the Planck & ErgoDox :p
Would something like the Granite Ergo kit be good?
Or blanks, I'll have to look around for a Planck kit tho too.
That is if I do add it, I think it's a good idea but only 1 or 2 ppl have brought it up.

Yep! Just that extra key can be a deciding factor for 660 owners. :thumb:Any chance of a second left shift appearing in a kit (Odballs) for FC660 users or too late?
It's not too late :) just another 2.25 left shift basically?
Also, I have 0 experience with the Planck & ErgoDox :p

Cant speak of Planck/Ergodox, no experience either. I always wonder how well those kits sell in GB's.

Might want to PM the MassDrop folks if you haven't done so already as several of them are on GH.
Hey Nio that might be a good idea, would you happen to know their names on here?
This set is gorgeous
Nice set, looking forward to the sale!
Thank you :)

I think it would be better if you add a grey brilliant key for the Flex Kit for someone using 60% like me don't need to buy both Flex Kit and Swoosh Kit to have Enter and diamond keys :D.
That actually is a good idea, I'll make sure I move it over from the gray kit.
Thanks for pointing that out :)
No ergodox supports?
No one really asked for it but it's possible to add.
Aren't you making an Alps one tho? :p
All I've seen is Alps hype from you lmao.

Lower scale & less kits maybe like Hack'd.
Will get some more info for any questions you might have since this was brought up only yesterday.
This is not final, just an idea I liked since it would just most likely just be the homies here that helped the set progress & give feedback.
The only things that are set atm is the ABS colors & SA R3, if the gray on blue isn't enough contrast there's plenty of great high contrast sets already/in the works.
Also, the poll I made on Md has reached 200 votes, not sure what happens next.

This would be on my own, gathering payments & sending money to SP for the order.
It would be more organized than just making a google form.
I could look into getting help from other(s) that have done this before tho.
Could you tell me what exactly you mean by fulfillment?

I'd be alright with a standalone GB, but the guys at SP have pretty much said they only want to deal with companies like Massdrop. Not sure what really became of that though.
As for what next, you might want to contact the guys at Massdrop? There's a guy Alex something that has an account on here and reddit iirc. Also, just because it's at 200 votes doesn't guarantee that it will drop.

Did they? :( bummer, thought that was just about lower pricing or deals.
I'll contact Yanbo again soon, he was the one that told me I should start a poll in the first place :thumb:

Ohh, yes I would be doing all of it.
I've been running a lil clothing shop on the side for 4+ years with no outstanding orders so I believe I'm capable.
If what UsualSuspect said is true about SP & Massdrop/companies then the idea of the standalone buy is not likely anymore.
Or if it becomes like $200 a set, IMO less people would be in this than Flatline & those prices were looking pretty steep :confused:

If you do the standalone the prices would be even higher than what we saw for Flatline due to the custom legends (which Flatline did not have).
If I understood everything correctly, standalone GB's can still happen but they would much prefer to deal with larger entities, and thus more likely to give a larger discount to them. I believe they said that it would be good to have a single person at GH that would contact them on our behalf (which is not likely to happen) so they can track the total volume that we purchase to calculate discounts.
Since GB's like these are very small production runs compared to what we usually see at MD, the price will inherently be higher =/

I guess there's no getting around the price for a standalone :(

I think that is definitely a possibililty. Same thing with Originative too. Regardless of the outlet, there will still be a pretty long wait for SA sets though =[

This is beautiful! Would it at all be possible to add 3 1U blanks (or 6 if your want both colors), one for each row 2-4 to (preferably) the oddballs/Tsangan or the Flex kit? I'm not really sure how much it would add to the cost of the set, but I could see it adding a lot more flexibility for some users, particularly those with small/unusual layouts (White Fox, Smart 68, Filco Manilla, etc).
Hey timerwin, I missed this last time.
I'm sure adding blanks as separate standalone options would be doable like what Deep Space & Sa Retro did :thumb:
Post by: chuckdee on Mon, 11 April 2016, 19:17:31
I'm interested in this TIFFANY keycap set. I hope this hasn't already been aksed. If so, my apologies, I saw what you listed about TKL & 60% board options, do you have plans for a ergo dox and planck key cap set?
Hey William, no one here's ask for it but I plan to include the kits if it goes into a buy :thumb:
Ergodox's & Plancks are on the rise especially with the recent buys on Massdrop.
Uniform keycaps look/work the best on them IMO.
DSA blanks, Granite & 1976 to name a few so it would be a great idea to include them :)
In endorse this sentiment. You can't really get planck on keysets after the GB, I've found. They sell out. :(

The set will most likely be running through originative co. in the future :)
I'll contact Massdrop about removing the poll so there's no confusion.
The colors are set but I have been thinking about profile during this time.
I personally prefer DSA & Cherry over SA although I love the SA look.
Maybe a poll will be needed :rolleyes:

I think it'd be awesome to have this in Cherry produced by GMK or JTK. SA would also be okay, as I need to pick up something in the profile one of these days. I wouldn't much be interested in DSA, though, I don't think.
JTK is out. They're still working on the sophomore run, IIRC, and there's additional runs already planned beyond that. For GMK, you'd need to either change the blue to more of a cyan color or bump the MoQ to 500 for a custom color.
Here's the color options from GTK.

I thought Sophomore was in its final production phase and wasn't aware JTK had anything planned after it was finished. I also know the restrictions we'd have going GMK. I was just stating what I felt would be ideal.
GMK do supposedly make exceptions to their 500 MOQ for custom colors, as GMK Carbon is supposed to have a 150 MOQ for only ~$150 a set. Carbon seems to be special though, as they're also supposed to make molds for novelties

At least from what I recall in threads elsewhere, Manly Unicorn was trying to go JTK and was slated as something like JTK's 5th or 6th run so there seems to be more that's planned. Maybe I'm not remembering that correctly, though. It's been a while.
Post by: switchnollie on Wed, 08 June 2016, 15:13:00
I've honestly yet to try DSA but will be receiving a set come August so it will be interesting to see how I like them. DSA sets seem to have picked up some steam given the overabundance of SA sets for SP to work through.
DCS could work as well.
I too think DCS would work, it's just no one seems to like it because of the thickness :blank:

This, I've seen some things about it but haven't been following GMK Carbon.
Carbon is using custom colors now?
GMK doing novelties is game changer too :rolleyes:
I do think JTK is very busy atm tho so I would aim for GMK if Cherry, that & Sherry has experience with them.

No doubt, glossy SA fits perfectly with the Jewelry theme ^-^
I'm not picky when it comes to caps so I would like to go with the majority.
Hopefully it's DSA or R3 SA for looks tho :p
I haven't shared the set on r/mk so there might even be a big lot that want SA or even DSA.

Post by: switchnollie on Thu, 09 June 2016, 15:33:30
I know you want gray on the set but I think black legends to match the modifiers would look better.
Not likely going to happen.
If I did that, the set may just look like a reverse Flatline at first glance.
Plus if I take out the gray then there's nothing representing the silver swoosh :rolleyes:
Voted!

Thank you :)
That could be possible, I think you're the first person to bring up sculpted.
I just prefer uniform R3 because it reminds me of DSA :p
If sculpted it would probably be 1-1-2-3-4-3(or 4)?
I think that's the proper sculpt.

Noted & same.

On top of it uniform SA is also less common too.

In for one. And maybe flex. For hhkb layout do I need oddball set?
It will be one big kit like Hyperfuse so it'll have you covered except for the 6U HHKB space.
If you have an MX HHKB layout with 7U you're covered :thumb:
Fret not, those of you wanting it in another profile. Another buy can always be done in a different profile later.
True :)
SA is very saturated right now, could possibly go back to that if this goes well & an R2 is wanted in the future.
Also, when I said custom legends I just meant novelties.
In case anyone thinks I was going to try non Cherry fonts :p

In for one. And maybe flex. For hhkb layout do I need oddball set?
It will be one big kit like Hyperfuse so it'll have you covered except for the 6U HHKB space.

Yeah it's a double whammy right now. SA is saturated and MD is even more saturated with Rebel getting info on their drop not likely to even happen this year and Dasher/Dancer being told late 2016 despite coordination back in... April, I think.
Going GMK isn't a bad choice right now. Honestly, though, the colors scream for a spherical profile of some kind for me.

Extra shift for 660, 1800 keys & some ISO.
Trying to not make keycap count too high which is why there's only some ISO.
Please disregard kle fonts & drawn symbols & pretend they're Cherry fonts lol.
Colors may be slightly off as well since this was just a quick mock up & just needed close enough shades.

So you can choose from black or gray mod right?
Just black, it was favored over gray during the IC & since we're doing GMK instead of SP, making a separate gray kit isn't as good an idea.
Wouldn't want to add it to the main set because it would just up costs.
Maybe a color kit could happen in the future like with Sky Dolch but there's just the few gray accents for now.
HHKB kit or bust! :p
I'll think about it :))
That would be what, like the 1.5 backspace & 2 keys on the top right?

The colorway isn't bad really but wasn't particularly drawing me in. With orange, I more want an orange cap and white alphas so I'll definitely be picking up Rebel. I'm going after more the brightly colored colorways like this, Skeletor, Dasher/Dancer, and Rebel.

Intelli 78 find a original TA keycap to negotiate with GMK to fix the exact and correct color (it will be found in pantone 146 in color card)used in GMK TA production.
Tombery would mail a original SP carbon to GMK to fix the right and precise orange used in GMK carbon production.
the question is that how you would find a tiffany green key in reality to negotiate with GMK to pick the exact color for GMK tiffany green(GMK keyboard. co) production? find the right color on pantone color card?

Would you rather have, "CODE" replace the diamond winkeys(1.25U & 1U) or this diamond replace it?

The diamond is more compatible with your theme of this set. i will choose diamond for this set.
i looked this blue carefully and though it is a bit darker and a less green than i expect. However, i follow your choose color because i think you know exactly which blue is more approximate to your theme and original color

A row3, 1.75u control key is missing, if the set would support the HHKB layout, considering that it already has the 1.5u row 2 backspace. Also you would consider to make the legends a bit darker, if they are suppose to be readable, at least in the mockup it looks pretty much unreadable.
I'd prefer the diamond, but I know there are people that prefer the code legend, the diamond being an icon is more layout neutral.

That said, the color info for Tiffany blue is:
Hex#: 81D8D0
RGB: 129.216.208
CMYK: 46.0.56.0
Pantone 1837
Might play with this site a bit: http://rgb.to/hex/81d8d0
Seems like it gives some options as Pantone 1837 is a private Pantone code. 7472 C doesn't look too bad at an initial glance.

Thanks for mentioning that, the 1.75 Control totally went by me since it's at a different spot on my HHKB ^-^
There aren't any plans to make legends darker but I'm not done looking through pantones.
Digging around on Tiffany blue, one thought did occur. It's a color only protected under trademark. IIRC, trademarks are only valid within the given industry of the trademark owner. Tiffany does make it difficult to obtain, however.

Most of the blue pantones that were even a bit close to what I want just looked washed out or like faded versions of the blues GMK already has.
May be close to what Nio linked, 7471 U is top choice right now.
This should solve the low contrast issue as well for ppl that thought that was an issue :thumb:
idueus makes a good point about the diamond being more layout neutral so I'm using that instead of code.
That & it's not seen as much as the code key so it's a bit fresher.
Also shower_king, if you could let me know where you heard about 6U molds that would be great.
I asked Sherry & he hasn't heard of new molds.

No support for 68 key? Can we get 1u alt, ctrl, fn for R4?
Can do :thumb:
There's already an Fn so I'll just add Ctrl & Alt.
Should look nice on the TADA68 ;)
Those should be the last keys added to this.

7471 U is pretty nice. It does look a bit more green. I'll be curious to see a mockup with the blue and gray together to see how the contrast goes.

idueus makes a good point about the diamond being more layout neutral so I'm using that instead of code.
That & it's not seen as much as the code key so it's a bit fresher.
Also shower_king, if you could let me know where you heard about 6U molds that would be great.
I asked Sherry & he hasn't heard of new molds.
Thanks :)
In recent dolch IC by Mr.Cony_WANG
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82661.0
there is 6U space bar in Mod.
i think there may be a mould for 6U space bar in GMK , if i was wrong, please feel comfortable to let me know.

I hope this comment may be a bit naïve; but, why not just contact GMK and ask them if the mold for 6u space bar is available?
I did and they confirmed it, off-center stem and everything.

Sort of a beginner when it comes to less common layouts.
Is 6U used often?
Also, updated render.
I used the pantone's hex code in Keyboard Layout Editor to get the color except for CR where I just used black.
Can try to make the colors look like the pantone on screen tmrw if wanted.

It's not a common thing but certain 1800 layouts, certain 65/75% and topre layouts use them, though they can't be used with novatouch boards because of the off-center stem.

agree, this set acommodate 1800 well. if add 6U ,better, if not ,i could live without 6U. From my pointview , 6U is a new mould which will inject something new into this set just like 1.25×diamond in R4. Because the moulds for these new keycaps have been created recently and we who participate in this GB will not share the cost for creating mould.
estimate time of this GB is early or middle or late August? How long will this GB last ? a fortnight or one month?

Hey, I'm adding 6U in blue :thumb:
Not quite sure, just August.
Will probably be as long as Skeletor which is about a month, it will be ran through Originative Co.
I just know that this will not start until Skeletor is over.
The only mold for diamond legends that has been confirmed is for 1.25u row B, you should check if it is available for 1u row B and row A, it would be great if they are; but, each one is a different mold, the legend is like an skeleton of the key cap in the proper profile and size with the protruding legends at its top. Also, if they were available for 1.5u in row A or B would be great, because that could make the support for the HHKB layout even better and more accurate.
I'll try to follow up on this soon.
The GMK diamonds being only 1.25 so far totally passed by me.
Thanks for pointing that out :)

I'm feeling 9480 U for Blue & Cool Gray 1 XGC for Gray, that is if you go by Pantone instead of HEX.
Screen captures are from the Pantone site & Keyboard Layout Editor.
RGB, Pantone name & HEX code are in the keycaps from top to bottom.

That's what it says on the Pantone site.
(http://i.imgur.com/IM9l8sw.png)
Thought it was weird since it's not number like, like 7471 U :p
I can actually go with Cool Grey 1 XGC. I feel as if the 7471U is closer to Tiffany Blue.
Did my best to color match the keys to the Pantone image since IRL it probably will look like that more than HEX.

The legends will be standard Cherry ones, GMK charges a lot of money to develop double shot legends like those in the mock-ups for a full keyboard set. The OP should better redraw it with the proper legends to not confuse people.

This set features some very interesting things like the A profile support, diamond legends and the 6u space bar, the last two would be a first for a full GMK set; ah!, and not having it on MD makes it available for some of us out of ConUS. Awesome.

I didn't know there are problems with MD outside of the US. I live in the UK and I've been using MD for a couple years, never had order go missing. A friend of mine who lives in Germany also uses MD. Are there areas of the world where MD doesn't send parcels to?

Yes, there are some countries they do not ship to; they did that initially, then, they decided to stop shipping to MX for example. I can use a proxy or even ask the parcel to be shipped to my US address but I just want the things to be shipped where I live.

Yeah, it is incredible, just check the drop down list and try to find MX for example, I do not know if it is the only exception, though.

I can't read the alpha legends really.
The full sized render gives a better indication, the compression was crushing the alphas. It still doesn't have the highest contrast but I don't think it'll be an issue when the set's in your hands :thumb:

Congrats Switch!
Congrats on the successful IC, can't wait to see this set in person!
Chances are that I can't afford this set, but god damn it looks beautiful! Best of luck to you on this buy! Anyone who picks this one up will be the object of my envy :-X.
I'm in! The set turned out better than I could have hoped for. Let's start hitting those moqs now!
I'm in, thanks for making this happen :-*
Is there a maximum order cut-off? I can only buy in closer to the end of the month :(
Thanks :-* :)

They should be.
Would be kinda odd if it was less readable than on screen.
Deep Space for example is a low contrast set, hard to see legends occasionally in pictures but is very easy to read in person.
Debatable tho :rolleyes:
GMK's render is not color accurate like usual which makes it super unreadble tho.
Even I would not be OK with the set using those colors haha.
