Title: [IC] GMK Korean Beige Add-on Kit (GB LIVE ON FRIDAY)
Post by: xondat on Tue, 26 March 2019, 13:02:47
Group Buy - June 21st to July 19th!

(https://i.imgur.com/kPqZ68t.png)

It's a very simple set, featuring Korean sublegends in a beige color scheme. It will work with basically any beige set you've seen (GMK, OG Cherry, etc.). It's easier to say "if it isn't L9 alphas, then it won't be compatible".

Group Buy Period:
Information:
Vendors:

Questions & Answers:

Q - What is the lead time?
A - GMK lead time is 16 weeks once numbers are submitted.

Q - What is the MOQ?
A - 150.

Thanks to Janglad for helping with GMK questions, and trg1234 & P0T0FGR33D for feedback on the kit.

Update posts below.

Update #4:

And here's the most important update: dates and prices!

This group buy will run from June 21st to July 19th. Open for 4 weeks, plenty of time to get in. Some time to save up too ;)

Prices are the following:
  • North America - Novelkeys - 45 USD
  • Europe - Mykeyboard - 39 EUR
  • Asia - ilumkb - 65 SGD
  • Oceania - Daily Clack - 70 AUD
I hope all of this information is good news. I'll keep bumping every now and then until the GB is open, will try and promote a decent bit so everyone gets in. :thumb: :thumb:



Update #3:

Happy to announce the vendors for this project:

North America: NovelKeys (https://novelkeys.xyz/)
Europe: Mykeyboard (https://mykeyboard.eu/)
Asia: ilumkb.com (https://ilumkb.com/)
Oceania: Daily Clack (https://dailyclack.com/)

Dates & local prices will be announced soon :thumb:



Update #2:

Hi guys,

GMK got back to me about the |\₩ keys, and I'll be adding both the R2 1.5u and the R1 1u. Please see the revised kit below:

(https://i.imgur.com/kPqZ68t.png)


This is the final kit.

I have found two vendors in NA and EU to run this too. I'm currently looking for a Asia/KR proxy, so once that has been found, I'm sure I'll be able to announce who the NA/EU vendors are :thumb:



Update #1:

Thought I'll give a post 24 hour update. I have no idea if it's a lot, but there were 120 responses.

81% would like the R2 1.5u pipe key with ₩, so I will get it added to the kit. I'll also ask about the possibilities of added a R1 1u version too.

61% said no to the punctuation and numbers. I'm fine with that - It would raise the kit price probably by 80%, and open it up to not that many more people (who knows how many of the 61% would join if they were added too).

I'll start speaking to vendors too. If anyone has recommendations, let me know! I will definitely be looking for US, EU, and Asia.

The only GMK set to use these molds was Burgundy, so I presume these are the only molds they have. I personally like the font over more hand written looking stuff, plus I would want to keep things easy to do.

Easy and afordable. Any new legend will require new molds and its priced added to the pricing of the set, unless GMK wants to give the mold for free.

Cherry never had Hangul doubleshot molds AFAIK, so the only available Hangul font is the Red Burgundy one, which GMK created the molds for.

This font style is considered more modern and eye pleasing that the serif style shown by SixtyLife which is more common on older keyboards.  I recall the font was chosen very carefully by cocobrais, Burgundy GB designer.

I think there is no additional cost for Korean mold.
GMK has Korean molds. And they are the only mold they have. I created my own Hangul(korean) fonts and sent them to GMK, which resulted in the addition of a Korean keycap addon to the Burgundy keycap set.

I like this very much.

The previous identical set was sold for 36 eur (28 eur while in sale) Korean Kit KS-GMK-BURG-KRK.
So this will be surely a huge success  :thumb:

The gmk rendering, as always, is misleading.... While on my phone I thought that this was about a black on white addon. I would modify the title to include the "classic beige" or "OG beige" wording.

The title of the post has the word BEIGE in it. The main post explicitly says:

It will work with basically any beige set you've seen (GMK, OG Cherry, etc.). It's easier to say "if it isn't L9 alphas, then it won't be compatible".

What else do you need (aside from learning to read the main post)?

Response has been very strong so I don't think they're needed anyway. :)

If I purchase a UD_40 and put GMK 9009 keycaps on it, then it won't really be an ode to Koreans without this kit.

The ability to order a full set of alphas OR just the small kit would be AWESOME because then I could do crazy things like combine with GMK-200 for full keebs without any waste.

Samples are not likely to be needed. It is a reference color already produced by GMK. And it is a guaranteed color because it is the color that everyone saw directly.

If it's a mold they think is useful to have, they pay for it (I think) and make it free to use for anyone.

Not sure how I missed that information as I'm sure it was explicitly stated above.

Thats good news though, with any luck this set will be available at a competitive price and may help pave the way for more small sublegend kits in the future.

It's a good idea to use big vendors, because you can save on shipping buying more items that you need, combining orders.

I wonder if gmmk (glorious modular etc) or SPRIT would be interested in this. And a EU proxy is absolutely necessary http://mechboards.co.uk ?)

GMK got back to me about the |\₩ keys, and I'll be adding both the R2 1.5u and the R1 1u. Please see the revised kit below:

(https://i.imgur.com/kPqZ68t.png)

This is the final kit.

I have found two vendors in NA and EU to run this too. I'm currently looking for a Asia/KR proxy, so once that has been found, I'm sure I'll be able to announce who the NA/EU vendors are :thumb:

Would recommend DailyClack for at least Oceania, not sure how easy it is for him to ship to the rest of Asia though.

For Korea, I recommend hitting up cocobrais, who ran the GMK Burgundy R1 and R2 buys and also could represent this kit on kbdlab.

All depends on the price. If it's honest and not greedy I will join.

OP has disappeared so this will probably not run at all.

No transparency here.

They posted 7 hours ago on a different topic. How did they disappear again?

Hey hurry up.

Yeah, trying :'(. 2 Asia proxies haven't replied to my emails, and another one replied but is busy for too long.

Got a lead on a 4th one, so will see where that leads. If they aren't interested, then I think the Aus/NZ can ship a little further.

NA, EU, and Aus/NZ have been secured :thumb:

Now we just need a rerun of classic beige (I'd hate to tear up an OG board just for caps, and they don't support much beyond winkeyless and winkeyless 1800). Sure I could always throw these on an old 1800, but that isn't a good option for most people and the shine / yellowing won't match unless the OG board is basically NOS

I'd be surprised if you can't find a 9009 set on the market for a reasonable price. I agree though, 9009 R3 please Janglad ;)

9009 and a couple other variations of Retro, although I think the only one that's currently available would be the one on Oco.

I thought about getting Retro but the "<>?" not having the subs would drive me insane.
