GMK DOLCH [COMPLETE]

[lightsout714]

hehe, it actually IS expensive, that's a fact. at least by most standards it is. making it look like it's not won't change it.

whether it is WORTH it, that's a whole different story.

Yes no one is denying that GMK full key-set is expensive BUT when you have these installed into your keyboard (whether it be Filco, Leopold, GON, Kmac, etc) you shall see what all the fuss is about.

Very few people ever sell their original GMK keysets in the classifieds unless they jumped on over to the 'darkside (thorpie camp)'.

When you do have authentic Cherry Profile installed into your keyboard there is very little chance for SP to ever get a look-in, into that same keyboard.

i still like my graphite set from SP and i use that over my GMK Classic Beige set.

Shoot that classic  beige this way then!!!

Me too I'm hoping it comes around again. Happy to get Dolch as well but do want a new complete classic beige one day.

Sad that the gmk dark grey set can't even get this amount of order even though it takes longer to order

Thorpie camp?

Welcome to Geekhack!

I had to wait at least a year before there was anything even remotely Dolch-like to buy

Kids got it easy these days )

[maleadt]

Thanks for the welcome This'll be my first set of custom keycaps, I'm curious to see how they'll go on my Das. I had been looking around for a bit, but having an ISO layout does make it all a bit trickier...

[IvanIvanovich]

Should have no problem using this set on Das (unless you have the revision with 4 modifiers on the left hand then the spacebar won't fit). ISO is not problem as it is included in the base set.

LEOPOLD owners: I have heard back regarding getting the additional stems on the 6.25 spacebar for Leopold compatibility. Unfortunately at this time GMK is not prepared to offer the tooling change to accommodate this.

[Leska]

Im looking forward to my first custom keycaps aswell ! Atm i got a Ducky Pro with PBT keycap ( black ) wich is pretty nice to type on. I have had a Filco Brown, but i honestly like my Ducky alot more. Still wanna try the other blue, white, maybe red MX's.

Already thinking about getting a custom GON made ! They look so freaking awesome.

But we will see. I said to myself, if i get a good chunk of money back from my heat/water bill later this month, im gonna pull the trigger on the GON

[TBone]

Can't resist picking up a base w/ color pack. Are there any examples of what thickness and profile this will look like? Will this be with the same molds original dolch sets were made from? Didn't GMK buy those from Cherry?

EDIT: Nevermind, I looked through the thread and found my answer. So excited! 

[asgeirtj]

What's the reason for getting another spacebar?

Yes they are the same as the originals.

This was discussed earlier in the thread:

Thanks for checking, the existing spacebar on the FC750R is cherry profile(ish) so I can make do.

[KatzenKinder]

Hey Ivan, just want to make sure my order went through and see if I can tack on another spacebar?

[RaVNzCRoFT]

Just re-submit your order, it will overwrite your previous one.

[redeye]

really want to add a colour pack to my base order but the base MOQ is so tight, and I dont want the colour pack without the base.

can i add the colour pack and if the worst happens and the base set doesnt happen can i cancel the colour pack?

Pretty sure Ivan said we already hit MOQ with the base set.

[GSimon]

Pretty sure Ivan said we already hit MOQ with the base set.

Yup, it's also indicated as such on the first post of this thread (colored green, for good to go)

[redeye]

Yep, but we need to factor in cancellations. If we were well into 280's+ I wouldn't be worried.

Is it ok to order both and if the base doesn't make it for whatever reason can I cancel the colour pack?

[tmk1207]

ordered

[IvanIvanovich]

I wouldn't worry about the MOQ and cancellations right now. Just order whatever you like and we will see what is happening around the 15 July when the payment deadline is reached. If there is too many cancellations/non paid orders then we can take steps to try and solve that problem.

[LechnerDE]

Even if there are cancelations I assume many members (including me) will order a second set to ensure this GB is succesful!

Ok thanks guys.

[RaVNzCRoFT]

Been watching this GB since the very beginning...finally caved and got a base set + extra spacebar.  Wallet hurts a bit, but these keycaps do look great.

EVERYBODY needs their Dolch  .  Whoever says they don't are deluding themselves to the extreme and need to be put straight onto the path of some true Dolch Enlightenment.

[Cafiend]

This will be my second set. Wanted to support Ivan's GB and imo it has better options. For my brother's first keyset I'll give him my old set and tell him it's new ..he won't know the difference

[Fnzzy]

Ordered  can't wait!

[Hucifer]

My first groupbuy and custom caps.

Can't wait to get my hands on these beauties!

Yes yes, you'll literally have a pool of dolch; does that mean I get to go to your place to pick my order up?
hehehe

I'm starting to get excited! Bout time we pull off a full set GMK buy.

As you should, although I am excited as well because this is a time that rarely comes around when it involves meeting GMK's moq limits and it looks like it's been done already  .

It will take time for this key-set to get made and shipped out but it will be worth it, just like ordering a brand new Koenigsegg CCX  .

[Cafiend]

Yeah man that's a good point

[Dreamre]

Anyone willing to part out with only their alphas? . You can keep all the modifiers.

Send me a PM if you're interested!

[osi]

Couldn't resist -- in for a base set and spacebar set..

Change the message was sent, please check with us.

[LechnerDE]

Wow! Almost 300 orders!

Dolch makes it possible. We probably could have reached the old MOQ of 400 as well

[Harrowed]

Ordered right away when gb was live, been thinking extra space bars ever since. And now finally gave up... Base + color + now space! (Ergodox mods would be great too but can't get it all).

[GeorgeK]

I already own a Dolch set but am considering placing an order for an additional Base set...  Other that "1st July", when abouts tomorrow will orders close?

Thanks
