Sure there may be a higher ratio of standard color like one of the shades of 'white'... but much of my agreement seemed to be based around the idea of them being able to get rid of small amounts of odd color stocks they have laying about in exchange for having a color mix. In other words a favor for a favor arrangement that is mutually beneficial.
As I said in a previous post, I also already made the suggestion to them of letting CMY Esc keys ride with spacebars in an effort to get those made as well since I suspect it should be technically convenient. I'm still waiting to hear back on if they will bite on that idea.

All good points here. Sorry if my last post seemed a little ignorant, you definitely have a better understanding having worked directly with GMK through this whole process. I'll have to comb through the threads more to try to catch those details.

Esc keys were what I was after. I'll sign up for the spacebars if that happens.

Are you keeping the GMK CMYK modifier keycaps in mind though? ;) http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=52445.msg1162566#msg1162566

ivan, do you think they would agree to future 'spare colors' buys like this?  would they consider making 'spare colors' DS keys?

I looked at the order form and there is no field for space bars. Is this because of the deadline?

Almost ready... and I have some good news! Due to negotiation success we can have the Esc pack made. Also, from now on our MOQ is 250 with GMK for all doubleshots :D though windowed and blank keys will remain at 400.

j2c8w6f8, you have 2 Esc packs and 10 spacebar... you also have 2 of each of the spacehomeboy, function and retro but these will not be ordered yet since MOQ is not reached.
Ordering is now closed for Esc and spacebar... I will reopen the form for the rest again later.
I am just waiting for final invoice from GMK and I will begin collecting payments for Esc and spacebars as soon as I have that.

kenmai9 your current order have an Esc pack, and 4 spacebar...

Please try to refrain from asking for order change unless it is a dire need. I have already submit totals for final invoice so no further orders please. Need fixed number so can get this moving into production.

Did you order some rad spacebars but can only use the 6.25u and not the 7.0u?
Because I have no boards with 6.25u spacebars, but lots with 7.0u.

Any one want to swap?  I ordered 2 spacebar sets.
Local to Toronto would be ideal, but even shipping in a bubble mailer would be a couple of bucks.

PM please.

tjweir, I'd wait until everyone gets their spacebars.  I'm certain there will be trading happening: for colors and lengths.  I'll be using 7x spacebars only, myself, for example.

New lower MOQ is for all the community, not just me. There was no mention of any pricing change... but I am yet to receive the final invoice. I am not sure if they will give a higher price for the lower tier on future order or not... but even if so it's still a better situation than before.
