GMK White on Black, GMK RGBK/CMYK on eBay
« on: Sun, 27 March 2016, 23:14:15 »
A seller on eBay named "shopon854" has been posting a couple different GMK sets. He just added a GMK White on Black set and a partial GMK RGBK/CMYK set.

I just found that, too. I was wanting a White on Black set so I decided to risk it and I ordered one.

Seller has been the subject of another recent great find thread: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80644.0

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

It looks great. The legends are flawless unlike the JTK BoW set.

Glad I saw this since they are gone now! I wanted Dolch, Charred Orange/Skidata, and White-on-Black the most since I'm new to this and trying to get the classics to start my collection.

Just curious what was included in the BoW, anyone got a screenshot/saved pic? (Or do you all mean the WoB?)

Ah, I was afraid that was the case =P

Been hunting BoW sets, but they seem to be extremely rare =)

According to the GMK Database Ivan had a GB a few years ago that failed to met MOQ.

Zenna has a icon modifier buy going in right now though, and JTK debut included a WoB set.

There was a Chinese buy for a 115 key set.



Another member and myself looked into running the same set but decided it wasn't in demand enough.

Beautiful. I wish I had jumped on it sooner. I messaged the seller and he let me know that he is in talks with GMK about receiving more BoW sets.  :thumb:

Nice! I really lucked out on it as I just happened to be up late that night on Ebay, and it was only available for a couple of hours at the most. It works well for me since I only had a Dolch TLK set, and a Cherry numpad with double-shots and no other Cherry caps.
