is it possible to get the information which other customers buy double shot cherry- profile caps from them? I mean they don't do it for fun and as they bought the machines and molds they seem to sell huge amounts of nice keycaps to other companies.

so there must be lots of keyboards with cherry profile 2shots made by GMK. I'd love to know where to search for them...

I'd be interested in that as well, but I'll doubt we'll get this information.

I assume they also produce caps for POS keyboards with special legends. Just like SP does when you look at their grab bags...

They might not even see keycaps as a really important part of their business but mostly just as a means to sell specialized input devices...  :-X

Alright, so the word is there will be about a 2 week delay while we wait for replacement white/purple 2.25 shift, and both white/purple and black/magenta 1x Ctrl keys. For those that ordered Esc packs only I will have your orders shipped out by the end of week.

They primarily make specialty keyboards for financial sector like WEY, industrial control equipment, and special order POS keyboards like the SKIData. Outside of our groupbuys and originative I don't think there is anyone else doing GMK stuff for home users.

If there are any extra purple mistakes or someone doesn't want one, I'll gladly take one.

And great to hear that they're making things right.

He is talking about EK. GMK made esc keys were the only GMK items EK sold. And Lysol is under the impression that EK are not selling more GMK made keys (this is not confirmed however), that is why Lysol forgot and did not include them in his explanation about GMK's common clients.

Sorry if I confused you. I was just responding to tsangan comment about EK. While EK have not publicly stated they won't have more, it is the impression I got from conversation I had about GMK stuff with Brian but that could only be my impression and not mean anything at all.

The film sucked (not enough gore), but the book is way better, so much more creepy in text.  Stephen King at his best.

*please do not go ask Ivan about shipping your order our early before the replacements are here*

These keys all look amazing, and i'm so glad they got made in the end. Even though purple isn't my favorite and with just the modifier keys it still looks sweet




And the CMYK is just awesome. pictures do not capture the colors as vibrant as they are in person.

Very sweet! The purple looks a bit lighter than I hoped, but it's purple none the less

Complain all you want, but I like the big arrow on the ANSI enter. Captures the meaning of "Return"/"Enter": one line down (LF), and all the way back to the beginning of the next line (CR). And that's exactly how the arrow looks.

Makes so much more sense than the ISO one, where the "LF" downwards part is longer than the "CR" leftwards part.

The purple caps look more like lavender that I am not so excited about, yet I would have to see it myself.

My wife said "There should be a CMYK set similar to RGB" then I showed her that I had already ordered one listed here, and now she wants mine. If I could acquire one extra 2.25x left shift one kit would be usable for the both of us, so if anyone wants a 1.25x left shift in trade hit me up.
