[IC] GMK RGBK Mod Pack - GB to start on Friday 7/17!

[radio_killah]

Hey there. So Ghostjuggernaught and I are thinking about running a RGBK mods group buy together. We are thinking about making this a simple no bull**** or frills set that will be comprehensive and offer as much compatibility as possible.

Here is a list of the keys we have in the set. Ghost and I have decided to just simplify things for now and we are going to get a mock up of just these keys. There are 24 keys in total, 8 control keys, 12 alt/alt gr keys, 7 shift keys, and 1 function key. Depending on the quote from GMK we may or may not add extra 1u blanks/window keys.



We will be using V4 (Blue - Alt keys), V1 (Red - Control keys), and N7 (Green - Shift keys and Function key) with CR for the Black text.

The interest check phase is planned to go until July 16th but is flexible depending on how quick communication between us and GMK is. The ordering period will be a month and is scheduled to start July 17th the day after the Interest check ends. The payment deadline will be approximately a month later around August 18th. We expect production to take 2-3 months. Then after that we will take between 2 and 4 weeks to ship out all orders. This is our skeleton schedule and nothing is set in stone.

When the group buy starts, we will have a google document to input orders. Orders will be invoiced at the end of the buy period. We would prefer you pay the invoice as soon as you receive it, but may give a one day buffer. Unpaid orders at the deadline will be dropped.

Shipping is as follows, all CONUS orders will be shipped via USPS flat rate. The number of sets you order will determine if it is a small (~$6) or medium (~$12) flat rate box. International orders will ship out only after ALL CONUS orders are fulfilled. Ghostjuggernaught and I have already looked into some sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes for international shipping. Shipping will also depend on the number of sets ordered since weight is the determining factor. International shipping should be around $15, but that is only a rough estimate.

Here is the color palette of GMK just for reference.

New mock up received!  Feedback is welcome!

[Blackehart]

My body and wallet are ready...


CMYK would be supah sweet too...juss sayin...

[byker]

I would be interested

[FrostyToast]

I feel like RGB mods have been done enough, even more so than dolch. I won't be joining this, but good luck.

They haven't been done for some time. Also maybe Mr Killah will be adding something unique to this one

[filphil]

I think having "control" instead of "ctrl" for sure would win me over.  The mockups look fine for me so

[FrostyToast]

If something interesting was actually done with this set then I might join. It would depend on what is done

[geniekid]

I'm interested.  Might I suggest yellow Win keys and a purple App/Menu key?  Feng had yellow Win keys for his RGBW buy and they look great.

[nmur]

Yeah I would be in for a set of these.

[shower_king]

May be some new and more used keys include will boost for hit MOQ.

[Danboard]

Yes! I would love to see another round of this.

[luckyryan333]

I tried making a sample mockup for our better understanding, but I'm not sure if it contains everything you plan or not.
Sorry I'm not able to convert white text into black one. It's beyond my ability.

This would be nice, but any thoughts about an additional "menu" key in a different colour?

[simonyunhe]

This is very good

Thanks for that! It isn't the exact set of keys we will be using but I am working quickly to nail down what ghost and I want to bring to you guys.

A menu key isn't high on the list to make the set but if we were to include one what color would you like to see?

[ATXTider]

Maybe a spacebar, Caps, Winkey, and Menu/Meta Key for great mooglings?

Orange would be nice   Haven't seen orange GMK, would be nice to get a taste

I'd probably go with orange, as Blackehart suggested

another version reflects their suggestion



ps) Do we have a chance to go with both RGBK and RGBW at the same time?

Yeah those would look fantastic with Ivan's/IMSTO black on black PBT sets.

[GSimon]

Thanks for posting this!

Np good luck with IC!

Shame, I'm in on Ivan's buy and have no pics to show or I'd confirm, am of the few missing orders of that buy and set still need to be shipped.

[rsadek]

Yes, interested. One control key to swap w/ caps  . Other than that keep it real simple and cheap for MOQ, yeah?


That pink is real nice, I'm surprised it isn't more popular.

This is what my IMSTO black on black set looks like. I would imagine Ivan's would be pretty similar, but perhaps with a different font/texture. Both are Cherry profile.

[radio_killah]

What kind of legends would you guys like to see on the shifts? Text + symbol? or Symbol only?

[FrostyToast]

I am probably not joining this so my opinion may not matter, however the text and arrow is true to the original cherry sets. Some people make ****ed up sets where they just have the arrows and it is weird.

[nmur]

I'm a fan of text + symbols.

[swimmingbird]

yes pls

much buy

very want

[Giorgio]

Much interest. Would like a blank option, especially for the much hated Windows keys.

blanks as extra maybe?

Why hasn't there been a GMK group buy for a blank only set yet....might have to think of one.

I was looking into it, but it is too close to BSPs price to be justified.

[MAR82]

I would be all over it if it if it had a 2u shift key included. I wouldn't even care what type of legend it had, as long as I could use it on my G80-11900!
That board is a pain to find keys for 

[Hzza]

Symbol only mods = in for sure. Failing that, I kind of like how the CMYW kit did it with 2 sets of shifts, one with and one without symbols.

As far as 1u keys go, I think orange or maybe even purple would be cool additions.

good idea ,let's make this happen

[radio_killah]

So as per my ****ty crop of my excel sheet, the keys I'm thinking of adding are a 1u function key in green for people to use with a split right shift, and two 1u keys for winkey keyboards. I'm thinking the best way to do it is to go blank and just let the community choose what color they want between the red control and blue alt keys.

[Giorgio]

Extra blank Could be affordable. Six 1,25 keys plus three shift keys should cost 11 eur.

Much interest. Would like a blank option, especially for the much hated Windows keys.

blanks as extra maybe?

[radio_killah]

Lurkers and active members alike, please give us your feedback on your opinion of 1u windows keys or blanks.

I think that we will almost for sure include 1 matching fn key for split right shift layouts.

We are still on the fence about 1u window keys and or blanks.

I am currently in the process of getting a quote as well as contacting GMK for a mock up.

I just want to let people know I will try to be as responsive and helpful as possible. I work quickly and hope to get this out as soon as possible.

[luckyryan333]

1u windows keys are more preferable for me.
More specifically, windows 8.

[admiralvorian]

I'd like to see a 1u windows key, I use one on the left side of my board and a blank or fn on the right side (winkeyless layout with 1u keys in-between ctrl and alt)

plus it gives the set more "usability". If i have an ansi125 board and an ansi150 board, i have enough keys for BOTH!!!! (maybe not completely, but you get the idea)

does GMK offer old-school windows legends, or just the new windows 8/10 logo?

I think a 1u blank would be pretty safe. Windows keys are popular too, but then everyone has their preference of old/new logo as well.

There are a lot of good keys in this pack so far, but you might have to be mindful of unintentionally adding so many keys that brings the price to a point which may be too high for someone who would really only need 6 keys, which would endanger meeting the MOQ or something.

I do not know yet. I will ask but if we do go with windows keys they would be probably the new 8 logo.

I think we want to either do blanks or do window keys not both which is why I want feedback.

Blanks or not, please include ISO compability.

It should already be there with the short shifts.

Imsto did the dyesub for ivans buy, you're talking about the same set.
Also I'd buy one or two RGB sets.

[roostrc0gburn]

definitely interested in rgbk and cmyk. would go in for two sets each. no reason for anyone to NOT have a set of each

[Giorgio]

Like radio_killah said, short shift should allow perfect iso compatibility, but to have a symmetricay result, iso needs one 1u key (on the right of the left shift, maybe a blank key? or one with the >< symbols?). That is very nice and good for iso compatibility.

After that you could also add an iso enter key, but maybe it's a litte bit too much to ask for it. But I'd like it :-)

Blanks or not, please include ISO compability.
