How many CMYK ICs will be started before we actually get anywhere? :))
YES! Finally.
I'm assuming all the same keys as RGBYK?

For now, its the keys in the GMK mockup. I imagine most will want the winkeys as they did before, and if that is the case they will be black on purple.
I am considering adding purple winkeys, similar to the added yellow winkeys of RGBYK.
Really really enough CMY/RGB :(These are the minimum keys I am including. This set covers almost every possible keyboard I can think of. A lot of effort was out into these key choices, and I do not plan to reduce the set. You could work it out with someone to trade the keys you/they do not use.
Also Ctrl/ Alt are too much in this set. Delete some keys and reduce the price.
I would suggest dropping r5 and alt gr. I personally use r5, but not enough people do to justify the increase cost in my opinion. Alt gr is the same. Some European people prefer it, but I don't think there are enough to justify the increased price.Right now I'm going to consider it. Once I get quotes, I'll let the majority decide which they would prefer.
As far as presorting goes, I would look at the price. In a set like this that's only ~25 keys, it honestly isn't that bad if you get some help. Depending on how many orders you get, you could probably get it finished in one weekend.
I will say that I do not plan to add any keys other than winkeys, and any others will take a lot of interest to get added.

I read and understand this, but still have to request. :)
I'd love to see fn keys in Cyan and Magenta.I would suggest dropping r5 and alt gr.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but as a US ANSI user I like using Alt & AltGr. Would many people be opposed to dropping the second Alt and being "forced" to use AltGr?
If you're going to do this you might as well drop the text shift keys. If you want to leave in the ISO keys I would leave the ANSI ones as well.I would suggest dropping r5 and alt gr.

I am waiting for word back from GMK with some mockups with a few additions to those in the OP, as well as pricing info. Will update everyone once they arrive.

Sweet! Glad to see this is moving forward.
Mod pack of the year.
Recieved some info from GMK today.
Option #1Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/gDlg6Nw.png)
This is the set in the OP. Basic CMYK
~$37/34 for MOQ 150/250
Option #2Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/B8BvHES.png)
OG set + purple winkeys
~$42/39 for MOQ 150/250
Option #3Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ouRecw0.png)
The Hoff set
~$44/41 for MOQ 150/250
I think that if we add winkeys, we might as well go with the #3.
Let me know what everyone thinks.
Oh also, I was told that presorting will be included for free with the sets! Must be something new they are doing.

^-^ My thoughts exactly.
I like the way you think, mobman. :))
HOFF SEX?!
Oh...Hoff Set.
Why is it called the hoff set?
Ah, previous page. I thought there was more to it than that :PWhy is it called the hoff set?
Because I proposed the CMY fn caps. :)
Not that I'd request it be called that, but that's why.

anyway, whats the difference between R4 and R5?R4 is what most standard GMK sets use. R5 is what older WKL Cherry boards use.

Hoff set or riot

I prefer the riot set.
It's exactly the same as the hoff set except that the black on yellow fn is a black on magenta and the black on magenta fn is a black on yellow.
So far it looks like option 3 has the majority. I'm still not ready to move to GB. I will start looking into payment options though. Ideally I'll use PayPal, but do not want to start the GB and run into similar issues as I had with RGBYK. If all else fails I'll look into stripe. My goal is to not use Massdrop though. I will hopefully have an update for everyone within a week.
For those that voted #1 or #2, would you still be interested in the additional keys? Also, we have 47 people who voted for the set. I'd like to get that close to MOQ if possible before moving on to GB status.

Why not Massdrop? They helped RGBYK succeed.
I thought that wasn't going to happen. Guess we'll see how it plays out.So far it looks like option 3 has the majority. I'm still not ready to move to GB.

So shower_king says his/her CMYK is launching thru massdrop in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Any chance to make these for HHKB?I wish, but unless you use MX sliders with it, you will have a tough time getting it to work.
I'm looking into stripe for payments. If I can get everything setup, I will move it to GB this week. I'll update this thread as things go.
Also I am 90% sure about running option 3. If there are any extreme oppositions, let me know now. But that will most likely be the final set at this point.
All these key sizes but no 1.75 FN key.

What the heck is a 1.75u Fn for?

I'm definitely using stripe for the GB. Right now I am working with Cody to get a site ready to run the GB from. It's just about finished up, but needs some finishing touches before things go live.Just in time for my taxes return :thumb:
