[IC] GMK SKIDATA+ (GB IS LIVE)

[Applet]

Yes. I feel the hype.

Though broke as I am, hoping for a late start.

This is the situation for me as well, stoked for the set tho  (hopefully I can afford it )

Due to the repeated requests of certain individuals, I will consider the possibility of including an additional 2 keys, F and J with homing dashes/bars.

However, it will increase the costs of an already huge keyset, and I would rather not have that happen if there is not enough support.

I look forward to seeing the votes and results! Thanks

Also, updates, GB is ready to start, very soon!

The platform is looking really good, and it should be very easy to order and navigate in

[ika]

Thanks for the update Karura. I submitted my form but - how about adding a secondary poll to include them in the add-on pack, if there is not enough interest in the base set?

My main problem with adding it to the add-on pack would be it'll have to be Charcoal Grey on Orange, and I think it'd look "slicker" in the base set

[Halverson]

Can't vote, oh well. Just add a +1 to scoops for me!

Thanks! I call him Crash Man!

(Yes, I know there's already a Crash Man in the original games.)

You have my money

[ramnes]

I'm more than ready to throw money for this GB but please please pleaaaaaaaaase, I'm begging you to include an other 2.25 shift for FC660M/C! 

Also, why is there a @ on Q? This ain't QWERTZ, and there's already an other @ one key away, that makes it really strange.

Have to admit, I'm all over this like a Cop on a Donut  .

Although have to ask you when are you going to run this Group Buy, this year or next?

Main reason because it's coming up fast to Christmas, you sure all the peeps here on GH will have enough moolah for these sets instead of waiting till after the holidays, when everyone starts building up their Purchase Chests.

[LeandreN]

Updates?

[AdmiralSquid]

Been lurking this IC for some time, excited to see it nearing GB status! I missed out on the Hack'd by Geeks and this set kind of reminds me of it. CANT WAIT GMK PLS!

[Karura]

Everything is in the final preparation stages. I've been working on a few final details. They're absolutely crucial to the success and quality of the GB.

Stay tuned

[Frogbot]

Thanks for organising this Karura. Total dream set for me.

Really hope this one gets MQO.

[hitlu]

money has been prepared.

Of course it shall meet all MOQs and beyond  .

[Karura]

I really appreciate the community support and appreciation, as it encourages me to continue to do my best and give it my all.

To be absolutely clear, I've been working on making SKIDATA+ the very best GMK keyset to have ever been produced, both in quality and design.

I've been in the talks with GMK regarding production and other quality concerns, to ensure that we will get nothing but the very best. As good as the stuff from two decades ago.

It surprises me that GMK mentioned that no other GB runner has brought up the topic with them. Nevertheless, that is not the case with SKIDATA+, as we will only get the best.

Thx for your effort
and I can assure you that you will also get the best out of my wallet

This set just gets better and better, looks like I'm not eating for a week to save up yet another set.

Beautiful accent keys

[lambFoo]

Still waiting

[darkclone24]

Is that set 3 or have you just expanded set 2?

[romevi]

Sweet. I love accent Esc and Enter caps.

[archer]

Is that set 3 or have you just expanded set 2?

OP still has [3] as "TBA", so i'm guessing that's an expanded set 2.

[HoffmanMyster]

Those blue keys  :eek:

[LeandreN]

Are those blues in set 2?

[Giorgio]

Seeing how the last group buys went, I hope that this will be run directly on massdrop

It won't.  Karura is using a custom platform and probably PayPal.  Was discussed a page or two back.

[trenzafeeds]

Are those blues in set 2?

I'm guessing they'll maybe be part of the secret set 3

[Karura]

Last update before the GB goes live:

The blue keys will be part of the [2] Colour Pack (Previously called the Reverse-Skidata Modpack).

[3] SKIDATA+ Relegendables Pack will be limited in numbers, due to the fact I'm paying for it out of pocket, to have the Relegendables keycaps custom made, since they are not offered. It will be offered to those who purchase a base set.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work so we can see this GB go live ASAP.

Dang. Nice work Karura

If I had to guess, I'd say he's using the same platform Cody from ctrl alt used for hyperfuse t-shirts.

Can I ask you to please consider a blue accent "code" keycap? that would make this set even more perfect :O

[ideus]

Any chance to get winkey-less mods in row 5? If the option has been discussed already just dismiss it.

[yicaoyimu]

R5 keys are such a pain when you mix winkeyless and winkey.

Don't mix them. They are not meant to be mixed, but their profile rocks, the have great ergonomics.

I find that mixing profiles for some keys is actually good, for example in a 75% layout or a lightsaver/RS96, If the arrows are in R5 it can help a lot to not get mistanken and press any other key by accident when navigating with the arrow keys.

I have found that R5 key caps are a great reference for touch typing for the mods and arrows.

So am I the only one who is bummed there's not a 1.25u "Fn", "Function", "Code", or blank for all the Poker owners out there?

What about using the menu key for that?

I've considered that, but on some of my layouts I use the menu key as the menu key.  So to use it as the Fn key is a little annoying (same key does one thing on one board, and other thing on another board).  Maybe it would be like using the Caps Lock key as control but it still says Caps Lock?  Even a blank would be better than using the menu key IMHO.  But a 1.25x Fn, Code, or Function would be baller, especially if it was orange on blue.  But maybe it's just me.  That's why I was asking.

Let see what the OP has to say about it.

[Karura]

Everything has been finalized, no further changes will be made.

Any revisions at this point will delay this by at least a week or two, and we'll end up with the same fate as Classic Beige. It's time to go. FULL SPEED AHEAD!

Timing is a very delicate issue.
