[radio_killah]

Any word on the price?

Should be right around $40 + shipping + paypal fees.

Good deal 

I am glad you think so!

Glad to hear the update. But I've been in BGRY/CMYW groupbuy on massdrop.

This is different. Massdrop has white legends, these are black legends

The final plan hits the spot in principle.
Hopefully more orders would be placed enough to add 1u menu as well as 1.25u.

Can we have

• two (2) R4 Fn (1.0 wide) and
• 2 (two) R5 Fn (1.0 wide),

for those who love WinKeyLess, but still want the Fn keys.
And I'd also go for a red Esc.

(sorry for requesting that so close to the GB )

No

The RGB mods aren't supposed to go on winkeys

There is already a 1u Fn key - this is meant for those with the 1.75 shift + 1 fn combo

Red Esc is available from a bunch of places. If you want it you can already get it online.

The Red Esc is happening, it's the "bonus cap" offered by GMK.
The one available is the Red with white legends, you can't find easily red with black legends.

As for Fn keys, if we want to add them, we need  to do 1.25u too for poker user, then comes the menu ,the winkeys, it never ends and we end up with a 50keys mod kit that cost too much.

Exactly - its not supposed to be a full mod set

It's supposed to occupy 6-7 keys on your board. that is all.

Seems a bit over kill to have both A and B profile 1.5u Alt and Control keys as well as extra 'Alt Gr' Keys, still gonna jump on this but damn it's over kill.

Good news everyone!

I just got word back from GMK that we have a price break at 400 sets! That price break is large enough that GMK says we could add up about 4 keys and keep the price relatively the same.

This is huge because with those extra 4 keys we can include both the two 1u and two 1.25u windows keys! So as long as we get to 400 we will include those keys per the communities request.

As for our timeline, everything is on schedule. The group buy period will open for 1 month until August 17th, and we will start invoicing at that time, or sooner if we hit MOQ before that deadline. Production time is estimated at 8 weeks.

Thanks guys. Have a good one.

Excellent.

Is the color decided on the winkeys?

Would love to see orange

Would love to see orange

Black on yellow to keep within the theme of the set.

Aww...yiss...!

It's probably too late, and I don't know whether this already came up, but a R3 1.75 Control and some R4 1.25/1.5 blanks would be great

Actually someone should probably start a GMK Blanks IC/GB - they are extremely rare

We have discussed this, but decided against it. We are trying to stick to the classic rgb theme, while maximizing compatibility.

We can look into blank options, and post an IC up, once this GB is completed if there is enough interest. I think it would be a good idea, as long as there is enough interest to meet the MOQ.

I spose that would match the black on yellow caps from Elitekeyboards

[beltet]

Im going to jump on this train! Going to be great with my HAO set. Just need to find a GMK 6.25 Spacebar.

Quick question - why are international orders only shipping after all CONUS has been done?

[ghostjuggernaut]

Quick question - why are international orders only shipping after all CONUS has been done?

Most likely they will be in tandem, for the most part.  I will be receiving the INTL orders after the CONUS orders.  As soon as I have them, I will begin shipping.  We are hoping to have all of them shipped in ~2 weeks though.  I only put that INTL was second to give a buffer.  I will have everything setup and ready to go as soon as I receive the INTL orders.
