lol lysol, you should start a new thread pretty soon, before this one gets derailed too much.

Needless to say I'm excitingly excited about this. Might be the most exciting thing since I got into this magical world of mechanical keyboards.

It's a bit funny though, that no one knew about GMK until now. Let's just hope they won't say 10000MOQ or something.

Hm, imagine theyr MOQ will be in 100s or 1000s, but with the purchasing power of GH, KBDMania, OTD, DT, and all the random keyboard forums across the globe, WE WILL ACHIEVE!

That's true, lets move all the speculative talk about doubleshots into this thread for now, and we can keep this thread for only this group buys buisiness. Thanks.

lysol, quick question/request:
Are the dead keys on the US INT set in black or red (or green or whatever, not black, not blue)?
If not, would you please consider it? It just would match the layout so much better.

To the other US INT set buyers: What do you think?

Nobody?

Acetrak · « **Reply #962 on:** Thu, 29 November 2012, 07:54:56 »

This GB is already in production. Changing the legend colors this late into this and potentially affecting a large amount of other people's orders is pretty much out of the question.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #963 on:** Thu, 29 November 2012, 09:44:57 »

Sorry I missed your question. No, the dead keys will be in black like rest of primary legend layer.

He gets all the imsto stuff early (Lucky!) I think it's because he has connections. And shipping from china to vietnam is pretty short distance.
Looking good alixinhzai!

limmy · « **Reply #968 on:** Sat, 01 December 2012, 01:35:13 »

Are they really Imsto caps? From the looks of windows, F, and J keys, they seem to be original Cherry lasered. They look pretty good though.

jil_jil32 · « **Reply #969 on:** Sat, 01 December 2012, 01:57:30 »

So Imsto still uses his own legends for those sets? Awww that make me sad...

Lysol said this GB will use his own colletion of SVGs for the Cherry legends, so the replica set will have the look alike a real Cherry PBT set.

The Imsto's set looks good, but it still has many things need to be done (legends, alignment...) to have the look of the real Cherry set.

In regard to the legends, they will all be 100% correct Cherry. I have been working hard on making SVG from photos of Cherry keys to make it as perfect as possible. So these sets will be using that, not the font imsto used on previous set, which as many have noticed is not exact to Cherry but just close. I am not sure about the Hangul though... I have not found real Cherry with that so the other font may have to do for that characther set unless someone can come up with a set of real Cherry for me.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #973 on:** Sat, 01 December 2012, 10:27:32 »

Right, our sets will be all custom legend, won't use the font imsto used before. Also our sets (hopefully) won't have those awful domed Windows keys because I totally hate them. alixinhzai post will do nothing more than illustrate the color of the keycap in relation to our sets.

Can't wait to receive them.

Haven't tried those IMSTO keycaps yet. Do they feel great?

DanGWanG · « **Reply #987 on:** Sun, 02 December 2012, 20:01:41 »

They feel really good. A little bit of texture but smooth and matte. It's such a great peace of mind to know that PBT is slow to wear, so you can go nuts on them...

samwisekoi · « **Reply #988 on:** Sun, 02 December 2012, 20:11:16 »

Really, really good. They are how I lost my Filco MJ1 to my better half.

"Here, try this one"

"Oooo. It feels so good on my fingertips."

Excellent. Take the keyboard I will have to replace via the UK and the keycaps I had to wait for a month to get from China -- and that I've had for a week -- and are out of production now. <sigh>

PM to Imsto...

Really nice keycaps. Worth the money and the wait.

lol I know but I thought a lot of Koreans bought it because at the time it's the ONLY option available. So I thought they'd switch out after other options came in. But maybe we just really have a lot of Russians here

I think 80% of existing vintage Russian dyesub sets are already in Korea, they have run out...

Om i imagining things or did the Dvorak set option win the poll (to be included) only to have 9 (or fewer) people purchase one. I feel like either the poll had fewer votes that I thought, or more people voted than bought.

Still, I'm super excited to get Dvorak sets. Yay!

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #999 on:** Tue, 04 December 2012, 19:50:43 »

More people voted than paid for one so the number was reduced. There was originally like 30 or so during the interest check. Also a few changed their order to drop it for something else.
