Title: GMK 1.75x rightshift
Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 11 October 2016, 23:12:02
Does such a thing exist?

I'm planning a board and I'm trying to decide what set I want to buy.

If it's yellow, white, or black, that's a plus.

This (https://www.originativeco.com/products/dolch-1-75u-shift) is the only one sold by itself that I know of.

When they get verified again maybe but for now I'm remaining extremely skeptical

Verified by whom?

I've made a few purchases and didn't experience any issues.

But what if Sherry disappears in 6 months again? There are too many unknowns for me.

If they get vendor status here again, I'll at least stop saying nasty stuff about them. I'm still firmly holding my boycott, though.

That could be said for anyone. We've seen allegedly reputable people fall off the grid and leave many people hanging. Personally, I believe he is genuinely trying to make up for his past shortfalls. But repairing a damaged reputation is hard and it takes time, so I don't fault you. What if someone else makes the purchase and has the product shipped or forwarded to you?

My .02

He replies to all my emails, he solved all my issues with my orders (just one issue)

The business is assumably good, Hyperfuse sold like hot cakes, Skeletor sold like hot cakes, People ate Sky Dolch like hot cakes

And risk-wise, 1.75$ isn't too much, but I understand if you want to boycott, I was boycotting MD similarly, but I wasn't as strong as you, now I'm waiting my GMK Carbon's

Tho, in a world where Ivan bailed, you never know, however I personally like Originative, my GMK dream came true thanks to Originative's Dolch's

He also genuinely wants to help the community, I was too busy to distribute some keycaps I custom-ordered, there were 20-30 people interested in buying them, he agreed to put them on his store for example

Anyway, let's hope Originative sticks around, we need Originative

Sherry's been doing brilliant business for a long time now. There's no need to fret about ordering from Originative.

Is he going to end up getting another vendor account here?

He's been having interest checks and group buys without one. :shrug:

feng has actually been MIA more than Sheraton, if you want to talk about a switch in roles. I think now he's back but supported by more than just one person, combined with using sorting services, he's doing a great job.

Is this about a $3.75 key cap, really? or is it all about resurrecting an old drama that the vendor has already overcame.

Back ontopic: Most modifier packs such as GMK RGBY and CMYK have these.
Hell, even most modern GMK sets have these, either in the main pack or as an add-on.
