So it begins!  Thanks for making this happen lyso^H^H^Hivan.

[jwaz]

Gogogo! Those colors

[Dianoda]

Judging from DanGWanG's color samples I thought the cyan was going to be more blue... but still want.  Ordered 1 set of everything.

[IvanIvanovich]

Photo is a little oversaturated, colors should be as close as possible to true CMY as was available in plastic. I will try to get a more accurate result but might not be able to.

Nope, I guess the sensor in this model of camera does not deal with cyan well.

[absyrd]

So tempted to buy my first "set" ever because of those purples. Gah.

[j2c8w6f8]

wow!!!
Can you add white on CMY?

[WhiteFireDragon]

Where is the order option for blank keys yo??

[IvanIvanovich]

Only the options listed in the OP will be available this time. If this is successful I will be looking to do further buys on some kind of schedule like quarterly.

[kmiller8]

So is there a MOQ? Or did you mange to work out something with GMK w/out needing 400 orders of each?

[metalliqaz]

Nice purp!

[tjcaustin]

Is purple darker than what the picture shows or is the hue fairly accurate?

[Acetrak]

Ordered, hope this will be the first of many successful buys!

[LechnerDE]

I just ordered one of everything

So I assume you found an European Proxy? Any information for shippings costs yet?

[IvanIvanovich]

Only the cyan was wildly off. Other colors are fairly accurate. I also added the photo of the color chips from before which is accurate, so you can compare.

I think I have an EU partner who has ran and distributed groupbuys before, but we are still talking. Details on the shipping and logistics and those costs are still to be determined. I am also considering adding a flat $2 sorting fee to all orders.

[älg]

Could you add some shipping prices? Is a european proxy planned? Sending everything to the US to send it back to Europe seems a waste.

[tjcaustin]

Bleh, too pastel for me.  Still getting the esc kit, though.

[Dianoda]

Ah, yep, that could be my problem - my laptop's colors are a bit washed out and not too accurate in the output.  I normally use a calibrated IPS monitor, but am in the middle of a move and my desktop is far, far away right now.  Despite that, I still think these look great; can't wait to turn my LZ into the classiest unicorn around

[baldgye]

submitted... is B profile the older style cherry profile (taller than the newer cherry caps?)

[danielucf]

Any idea on how long this is going to run, and when money collection will be?

[LechnerDE]

What about a "Geekhack" Key in all the color options?

I guess GMK doesn't have this "special legend" prepared, but we'll get them to make it eventually, so why not start with this group buy?

[Dianoda]

submitted... is B profile the older style cherry profile (taller than the newer cherry caps?)

IIRC, B profile is the more modern, shorter profile, A profile are the taller keys.  Vintage - ABCDEF profile keys; modern - BBCDEE.

[tjcaustin]

MoQ and legend fees, yo.

Assuming it'd be the same number I have in my head, I don't think it would be feasible.

[Acetrak]

submitted... is B profile the older style cherry profile (taller than the newer cherry caps?)

No, B is the lower, modern profile

As Ivan has said, this is more of a trial GB, so we're sticking with what the OP says to prevent any complications. This was decided a while back from the IC thread. But if this goes well, who knows what could happen in the future.

ahh ok  thanks, thats great news!

[esoomenona]

Yes.

[IvanIvanovich]

B profile is the more modern profile, same as shift row.

I asked about new legends, and due to GMK current production schedules they are not making any new legends at this time. I had originally wanted to have Fn key in 1, 1.25, and 1.5 which had to be dropped due to this. We can get some new things done in the future when GMK is willing to take orders for new legends.

I don't have an exact time frame yet, still waiting on the final word from GMK on that. Once I have that information I will update and start sending invoices out.

For now just go ahead and submit your orders. Also feel free to spread the word about this buy on any other forums. We will probably need all the help on meeting the 300 MOQ for each set as we can get.

So... Is Dan still on the GMK team or are has he been kicked off since his permaban?
Just wondering, not trying to stir stuff up.

[Sai]

nvm. i'll just buy the mods pack. 

Edit : thinking again.

Dan left and requested to remain banned, he was not kicked out of anything by the mods/admins.

[jdcarpe]

Loving that purple. I wish there was a full set available in just white on purple. Ordered!

[i3oilermaker]

Can we get some mockups up in here?

[Alessandro]

Awesome! Going to order an esc pack.

[codyeatworld]

Wow I've always liked these colors.
definitely in for a set, or two...

[Glissant]

Mmmmmm white on purple will look soooooo good. Order submitted and fingers crossed =D.

[IvanIvanovich]

Dan separated himself from this far before the decision about leaving GH for his own personal reasons. For the moment I am flying solo.

[danielucf]

I think you are missing some keys from that modifier pack:
"Insert", "Delete", "Home", "End", "PgUp", PgDn", "PrtSc", "Scroll Lock", "Pause", and F5-F8.

I've never seen a modifier pack this simplified before, is it targeted at 60% boards or something that has never been done before to my knowledge?

[The_Beast]

Loving that purple. I wish there was a full set available in just white on purple. Ordered!

Well considering that the legends are white, they'll look great on a set of white on blacks!


Any idea of shipping? When is this going to close?

Well, ivanivan mentioned a MOQ of 300 for each set (mod pack/esc pack/CMY-K), so this might take awhile...

[jdcarpe]

We don't get the arrow keys that are shown in the OP?! Shenanigans!

[Acetrak]

They are uber rare one of a kind!

[IvanIvanovich]

Yes it is maybe a bit 60% focus, but on larger board it will still add a nice splash of color for accent. I tried to keep the sets on the smaller side to keep the price down, while still offering quite a lot of versatility. If there is a lot of demand for white on purple nav, cursor, function and numpad keys to match we can certainly run those after this.

I'll get a set of these since GH60 is around the corner, but the only reason it would seem overly expensive is because there are a ton of keys included that are useless to most people...
As a US Ansi user most of the time I'll only use 13/32 keys. If I add in supporting Korean Custom keyboard layouts then it increases to 21/32 keys. This just highlights how inflexible GMK buys are going to be and how many extra worthless keys many people are going to have since we are trying to support the minority. I'd say throw price to the wind and make it a real modifier set, or call it what it is, a 60% modifier set. On a TKL or full keyboard a splash of color for accent utilizing these specific keys has not really been done before for a reason.

Would 17-18 1x size keys covering the nav, arrow, and function keys of a TKL increase the cost that much?

[alaricljs]

With some statistical math that would be ~$1 each for blank 1x caps.

[danielucf]

I would rather pay the extra money and do it right the first time than have a chance at not hitting MOQ to complete a proper modifier set in the future.

This look is really lack luster on a TKL and probably worse on a full keyboard, but will look great on a poker/pure or any 60% layout:


There are the CMYK and Escape packs for the less expensive options.

[jdcarpe]

But then we would have to do even more keys, for the other languages, making it even more expensive. Because we (US/ANSI) aren't the only ones who need these keycaps, you know?

[danielucf]

Do they use different languages for delete, home, PgDn, etc? I thought most of them only do different alphas, numbers, and punctuation keys. My Norwegian (I think) Skidata has the Nav keys with the same names, my RS6000 Asian keyboard has them in English. Why can't US ansi have a set be more than 50% functional? Even if I was German I would probably rather have the nav keys for this in English than not have them and the set looks less than spectacular. Or just make them blank so they are language neutral.

I would like to make one point though, show me any group buy that was run at geekhack that supported nav keys of other languages. Why should we start making inferior sets to cater to the few, when a more general set will make everyone happy and look better?

[The_Beast]

I was a bit jelly at lysol for having purple arrow keys, but then I remembered that I don't have any TKL boards that I could even use them with lol
