[GB] GMK SNES - Hype slowly rekindling...

[Vittra]

To be fair, the original point of the site was to get significant deals off MSRP items from major brands. With the proliferation of items on it now more akin to crowdsourcing, they should really consider removing MSRP pricing altogether from certain items.. it just doesn't make any sense.

I really like this set, but my only current board is a Filco. Blah!

[BrainFlush]

Instead of making fun of the ignorant. Try educating them. At least than you'll be a better person but as it stands you sound elitist and that doesn't do anything for anyone.

Now back on topic. 
Does anyone have some GMK keys on an LED board? I would really like to see some backlight bleed through. I know they're not meant to but I like seeing if they can. Any set is fine, multiple submissions would be great and much appreciated.

Thanks Intelli78 for this drop.

[Floody]

OMG the Massdrop comments are incredible...

Are they really that bad? Should I bother looking? 

No, don't waste your time or brain cells. "OMG y so expensive? Only saving $5? Massdrop sucks. Unsubscribing from email list. You guys are the worst ever."

I like the one where the guy said he spent ages on his snes and he doesn't see the similarly in color. Here I was staring at the screen the whole time when I was suppose to be looking at the console.

I'm on page 4.  This has been an interesting exercise. 

I used to respond helpfully to every comment like that a couple of months ago. Now I know why some people get steamed by them.
Truly, those Massdrop admins are saints.

There should be some link to these interest check threads on there, so people can see why choices were made and what the set is all about.  People coming into a buy blind are understandably thrown off by the high price, but the endless questions and comments don't help anything.  I basically never view the MD discussion pages because it's pointless.

intelli, is there any way to cleanly and succinctly summarize these common questions in the description for every GMK buy?

Agreed.  In fact, they should put the price point for a single custom set from GMK as the MSRP.  )  Or 500x$120, since you'd do that instead of paying GMK for one set.  So set MSRP at $60,000 and see if people complain then.

The funniest are when new people think they're buying an actual keyboard and then realize later on it's just for keycaps. Then they go on a rant at how outrageous that is. Those are my favorite.

[intelli78]

the MSRP is $1,0000,0000

[romevi]

the MSRP is $1,0000,0000

Quit lowballin'.

I think I'll buy my own injection molding machine, thank you.

[Latin00032]

I'm in! One set for the moment; If I can get things together within two weeks, then I'll be ordering two!

Two? Can I ask why two?

I thought I loved snes alot. But, I guess my love isn't as strong as yours.

Well, since I have a 75%, I need the number pad in order to maintain a correct profile on the extra column. Intelli suggested simply using the correct legends (and not worrying about profile), while swimmingbird suggested using number pad keys (correct profile, inaccurate legends), so I've become torn.

See, I need one full number pad set for my Lightpad, so it won't work with just one.

This will also help MQO a teensy bit.

We shall see! This is gonna be a steep MQO. I hope we hit it.

That makes sense.

I have struggled with that, too.

That's why I love the hyper fuse set. It supports my 75 percent.

Most key sets have it setup where you have to decide between legend accuracy and profile to get the extra keys onto that right column.

I'm using this snes set for my 60 percent.

The only thing that would be great for this set imo is a matching purple spacebar.

Maybe I should try making an ic for a matching purple spacebar gb. Maybe I can also include matching 75 percent and 1800 support. Lol!

If I'm super pinched for cash and can't swing the extra set, I do have a dark grey Gateron PBT blank set that seems to match with the grey of my legit SNES controller, so... There's that! One of those for R3 and a R4 blank from the SNES set, and I should be golden.

If not, swimmingbird has me covered since he isn't going to be using any of his numpad sets.
 
I would like to order two, but I ordered three Alpine Winter Alps sets, a ton of blanks, and the Octagon v2 is impending, plus I bombed $120 on an Alps board, plus I have ANOTHER vintage Alps board I've really wanted that I plan to buy after New Years, which should go for around $100, so I'd be like setting myself back $800-1000 on that if I clocked in two GMK SNES sets. That'd be over $300 alone, I believe.

The keyboard game, man. What am I doing with my life.

This will be my first GMK set though, so that'll be sick! I can't wait. Truth be told, if ordered both, I'd be half-tempted to mod the second set for Alps, but don't tell anyone. I'd get lynched.

That consarned R3 key just to the right of the Enter key is always the culprit that kills it! I could definitely squeeze it if i was going for legend accuracy. The Gateron idea might work for profile accuracy, with blanks on R3 and first R4 row from the top.
 
I'm diggin that purple space bar idea. Maybe an IC for a lavender and purple one to pick and choose?

Matching 75% and 1800 support? Now you're getting crazy!

Heh. Nope.    But my last point about a quick summary explaining the price and reasoning for including/excluding keys could work, I believe.

Some of the posts at MD reflects a total lack of awareness of basic knowledge on keyboard's key cap quality, I am not sure if answering them back may remediate that with some lines.

I honestly don't get it

Like I don't go into the quilting drop comments and go "LOL why would anyone ever pay $80 for this"

It's not my thing and I know the people who do care about that kind of stuff are going to be able to judge the proper value much better than me

The worst one to me has to be

"It's only $5 off MSRP? Why does massdrop's purchasing suck so much? When we can just go buy the same stuff off Amazon for cheaper, Massdrop has gone downhill"

I really like this set, but my only current board is a Filco. Blah!

The majority of people who frequent Massdrop are not keyboard enthusiasts. They are, by and large, people addicted to purchasing things and "always looking for a deal". They do not belong to Geekhack, Deskthority, /r/MechanicalKeyboards, or any enthusiast community devoted to keyboards.

Some of the posts at MD reflects a total lack of awareness of basic knowledge on keyboard's key cap quality, I am not sure if answering them back may remediate that with some lines.

Sometimes it's important to remind oneself that when posting on a public forum, the goal isn't so much to educate that one specific person you are replying to, so much as it is anyone who happens to read said comment and reply.  There are equal parts ignorant folks who don't care, and ignorant folks who genuinely want to learn and understand more. Sparking their interest brings more people into this "hobby", or whatever you'd like to call it really. The Geekhack community grew over time from knowledgeable individuals spreading their information across various mediums (Youtube) along with increasing of GBs and the like.

Fair, but I still don't get the impulse to go in and announce what you aren't buying. I could go in and **** all over the talk threads of whatever ultralight/quilting/etc stuff the keyboard-thread-****ters are buying instead--"loooool $40 for a tiny aluminum can? i can just go buy tupperware at Ikea for $2 a piece"--but I don't, because I know my input isn't worth a damn over there. I'm not in that community and I don't know jack about it.

I guess the difference is a lot of people are sort of casually into mech kbs, to the extent that they are relatively knowledgeable compared to the general population, but not really on even a true enthusiast level. But still. I'm sort of "casually" into headphones and have some decent cans, but I'm not going into the $900 Audeze threads or whatever and talking about how overpriced it is. I'm sure to people who care more about minute differences in audio quality they're worth it. Who cares if I'm not buying them? I'm not the intended audience.

[clochette]

Because admit it, they actually found the design interesting enough for them to venture into the drop; only to find in utter dis-belief that what they are paying for are only for a set of keycaps

[Limewirelord]

Damn, that 500 MOQ is rough.  I'm probably in for one closer to the end of the month, sans the SuperFX add-on.  It's nice but I probably wouldn't use it and the price is a bit steep.

No, don't waste your time or brain cells. "OMG y so expensive? Only saving $5? Massdrop sucks. Unsubscribing from email list. You guys are the worst ever."

I like the one where the guy said he spent ages on his snes and he doesn't see the similarly in color. Here I was staring at the screen the whole time when I was suppose to be looking at the console.

I'm from france, we don't have the same console as you guys do, so not the same color palette

Yeah, they were both very different from each other, but Intelli did throw down some love with the controller mock up and the gamer set.



TBH, I don't see how the PAL and Japanese colors could have been used more extensively without it seeming like a rainbow vomit keyset.

Mayne, I have a SNES Classic Wii controller, and they only came out in the PAL and NTSC-J territories! :P I dig the "smarties" buttons of the NTSC SNES, but I also like the skittles buttons of the PAL and such. :D

To clarify, I just don't see how it could have been implemented well into the keyset as a main color scheme. Purple and Lavender are a bit more subtle and gel with the gray colors well. It seems that the PAL SNES uses a darker more brownish grey whereas the NTSC SNES controller uses a more blueish grey in the ring around the face buttons.

Maybe with mods that were that darker brownish grey, alphas staying the same with... I dunno, black legends? And the F row + top three of the nav cluster being RGBY for each four sets keys (as in Red - F1-F4 - Green F5-F8, etc). That might have looked kinda cool.

Pff... I got that Wii CC when first it came out! Ended up selling it since I owned a SNES Mini and play SNES games on that only, including EarthBound!

I love the 60% mockups for this set. I wasn't completely sold on this until I saw that. Now I must have it.

For all the Super Famicom and SNES PAL players out there, THIS is what I would've proposed as a PAL version. Of course, it's not gonna happen, but here ya go!



Not to derail our NTSC SNES drop of course, but I think those who feel that the NTSC look isn't nostalgic enough for them might like it.

Maybe we can run a drop for it someday?

But intelli's point was to keep it American, and the extras really go well since only the buttons are colored.

Most game consoles here share US region, Nintendo in particular does it, just for the record. But, who cares? we love GMK SNES as it is and this discussion is futile.

Yes, I just said that. North America includes Mexico, after all.  
 
Let me clarify, I said in the beginning that this wasn't something I drew up to derail the thread; it was something I made as a vision for what a PAL version would look like. Not as a suggestion to intelli. Heck, even the alphas and mods are different colors, along with the arrow cluster, haha.

It was made in response to the comments on MassDrop from people who did not share nostalgia with this set, that's all.

Hell, I'd love to run it myself, I guess because I feel empathetic toward the European and Japanese players (I bought this set BTW), but with the vast unawareness of the PAL regions and the smaller amount of people who owned those in comparison to us, the NTSC players, it probably wouldn't be successful unless it was run under a different company.

Let me clarify, I said in the beginning that this wasn't something I drew up to derail the thread; it was something I made as a vision for what a PAL version would look like. Not as a suggestion to intelli. Heck, even the alphas and mods are different colors, along with the arrow cluster, haha.

It was made in response to the comments on MassDrop from people who did not share nostalgia with this set, that's all.

Hell, I'd love to run it myself, I guess because I feel empathetic toward the European and Japanese players (I bought this set BTW), but with the vast unawareness of the PAL regions and the smaller amount of people who owned those in comparison to us, the NTSC players, it probably wouldn't be successful unless it was run under a different company.

Oh, I'm sorry. I misunderstood that. I thought you were meaning that NTSC does not include Mexico, but rereading your post I see that you didn't say that at all.

I love the set the way it is, though!

Shouldn't this be in the Massdrop vendor area now?

I think we'll leave this one here because of the level of community involvement in the planning process. But yes, as a general rule, Massdrop buys will now be located in their vendor area.

Im still deeply in love with those white on gray modifiers from the hhkb style mockup... <3<3<3




Is there any GMK set with White on Light Gray modifiers I could use in combination with snes to get a similar look? 
Only set I can think of is Dolch, which has white on (unfortunately very dark) gray modifiers.

Would be pretty happy if someone could refer me to one to hunt for! xD

intelli, can you confirm the drop points? I've seen you say 1,000 was the price drop point, but Massdrop says 500.

The 500 that MD has is the MOQ, not the price drop point. Because of some problem with MD's system, they don't usually program in all the points on drops like this. Regardless, I think intelli mentioned that there wouldn't be a price drop, but rather more keys added to the base kit if it hits that point.

First 100 orders are in, already.
