Just a interest check

Basically are the modifier keys that on G80-1501 HAD except ctrl/alt, but in standard ANSI layout

pic from google

Anyone are interested in this?

Assuming GMK, I'd be in.

bueller · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 02:09:59 »

If it is GMK I seriously doubt it will get the traction to hit MOQ, all GMK GB's have been struggling lately and considering these were available at Originative for quite a while I don't think you'll get many takers.

ANSI layout ? Really?? Very interested

I hope you can run GB

damorgue · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 06:58:49 »

One of few GMK Bs which I honestly believe could meet MOQ is a proper moogle and mod set.

tjweir · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 07:25:59 »

Interested.

ideus · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 07:55:01 »

In for a GMK moogle if it includes also 1x mods besides 1.25x.

What I loved about that interest check was this:

"6,25x/7x spacebra."

So now we should check if that bra is larger than a DD

This is certainly on my to do list, black on beige MOD+ set that is... if someone wants to take it before I get to it please be my guest.

And now with the reduced MOQ may certainly happen. Thanks again Ivan.

Get the windowed keys in the mod pack = WIN

ideus · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 14:32:06 »

As far as I know a GB for a GMK made moogle or tsangan has never been intended. If regular colors like beige and black are included I do not see any reason for many not to get on board as now they may be using SP made equivalents that are just not similar to GMK. Also Originative does not sell modifier sets but full ones. So there is not much reason for no-go comments in here.

daetsid · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 15:14:11 »

give me GMK mod sets NOW!

terrpn · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 16 January 2014, 19:56:32 »

would be interested if windowed

With the new MOQ of 250 this seems doable. I am really looking forward to all the GMK GBs 2014 will bring

bazh · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 17 January 2014, 04:24:52 »

but dem windowed keycaps still need 400

Windowed caps could just be doubled per set so we indirectly reach the MOQ for them.

you just do mod set or both base & mod

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 17 January 2014, 14:33:43 »

Assuming I'm the one running it, when beige is done I will do all the keys that would typically be beige on a set and offer that all as one pack. The reason is Cherry used a lot different shades of beige/light grey on 2tone sets. GMK only have a few shades in that color family... and none of them really match 100% let alone to match all the possible shade variations you might have. It will make it a much more difficult/larger and more expensive set than for example white/black where you could get away with only the most needed keys instead since black color variance would be very minimal.

Seems reasonable. On top of that everybody will probably have a different shade of beige due to yellowing, so it's definitely the best to make a complete Mod set instead of just a couple of keys.

maybe also include esc, F4-F8, etc. but they would probably bring up the price

Well F4-F8 and the Nav Keys are part of the Mod set. Doesn't a standard Mod set look like this?

I am not really interested in this if the above shown keys are not in it.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #26 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 14:16:44 »

Basically this with some tweaking, in black/beige... all as one thing.

Perhaps will just do black/beige and white/black with identical configurations at same time and just make it simple and fulfill needs for 'classic' adapter packs.

Photekq · « **Reply #27 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 15:50:39 »

Would be super awesome to be able to get some ANSI ('caps lock' text instead of the arrow, etc) windowed lock keys.

I would buy 5-10 sets of the windowed locks alone if needed to get closer to the MOQ. Probably 2 sets of modifiers if the windowed locks were included.

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #28 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 15:54:49 »

If there was a windowed caps lock in ansi legends, i would commit to ordering 10-20 of them to helping hit moq

ivan's point about the ridiculous amount of beige out there makes you worry...

Photekq · « **Reply #29 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 15:55:39 »

Pick the beige that's closest to BSP sets. GMK windowed locks + BSP set = win

ideus · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 16:31:50 »

A quotation may come handy to pull interested people into the interest check -> group buy.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #31 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 18:03:33 »

GMK has been really slow getting back to me about some things. I already put in for some quotes on a revision of the white/black some time ago... generally stock colors don't make difference to pricing. Even though I don't have final quote I will guess it will cost something like $75.

ideus · « **Reply #32 on:** Sat, 18 January 2014, 18:06:32 »

That's a good start. Are you going to offer the WoB also?

I really would like the text legends too in general. Although the intention with symbols was to make them work in mourse layouts/countries, I would say that the opposite is true and there are more different symbols than there are text strings for the different caps.
