[GB] GMK Classic Beige

[icyskyz]

Order placed! Thank you!

[swornxin]

I'm guaranteeing ordering at least one set before the end.  Letting the school debt calm down a little before I place it.

[shower_king]

putting in my order now!

For anyone that's scared due to the TA fiasco: I have a feeling it's due to the custom colors. They ran out of plastic and had to stretch it.

this set doesn't use any fancy made-to-order colors so they should have plenty of plastic to make some nice thick caps that we all love

...at least this is what I'm telling myself!

hi , i agree with what you have said..

[tmk1207]

Pm for detail shipping fee :-?

How is this nearly on page 2 with a perfect key selection like that?

No idea, this is gonna be an amazing set!

[azhdar]

We just need people to receive Hyperfuse then they'll realise that the quality problem of Triumph Adler is due to custom color.

Then the orders will start flowing.

This. I know the quality concerns are most likely not an issue but I would love to receive my first GMK set to just be sure I know it was said before... but I suspect that because money is being collected up front people are probably waiting till closer to the end to jump in.

[sorijealut]

Just put through my order for the full set

Thanks for bringing this, I've been waiting!

Just got done doing the most important thing I have to do this month.  =)

[64rky]

Soooo... Where are we with this, did I miss an update? Are we close to MOQ?

[trenzafeeds]

Any potential discount for buying a large amount of sets (10+)?

Does this mean you might possibly sell some of these sets after the buy concludes?

[Photekq]

Soooo... Where are we with this, did I miss an update? Are we close to MOQ?

It's tough to say with the MOQ, since there are a few communities (such as Vietnamese and Chinese) which are still collecting orders.

[NorrisB]

How many orders you think we have now Photekq? 

[Tuntematon]

Why are the extra spacebars offered in L9 instead of U9? The main set already has L9 spacebars, so U9 spacebars would make more sense, no?

Because that way you have proper replacement spacebars.  I personally don't want my spacebar the same color as my mods.

I personally like it both ways, having a solid single-colour line along the whole bottom row feels good sometimes.  It would be nice to have the option, but it's not a big deal.

Oh boy, it's really a shame that this thread only has 7 pages

Where is the love for this classic color scheme?! I really hope this is only because people don't wanna pay immediately and are waiting to place a last minute order...

I'm waiting for payday before I place my order, should be early next week (not that one extra set is going to make much of a difference ).

There are so many GMK' gb, I think many people would save money for this beige classic and pay them at a adequate time.

Thanks HoffmanMyster for saving us a lot of $

[romevi]

I'm just waiting to see if paypal opens up as an option.
I know, I know; I'm *that* guy.

Purchased it earlier today, really stoked for this and skidada+

He said if you absolutely had to pay w/ PayPal to just PM him

[nickheller]

Just got my Hyperfuse set today, and the caps are amazing, so I will 100% be getting in on this buy

Oh, I did. I just read somewhere that he's waiting to see if he'll open it up via the GB page toward the end of the run.

Finally made the plunge today!

2. Extra set [20pcs]

Show Image

I've just stumbled across this group buy after being away from the forum for some time but I am interested in joining for the Extra set so that I have the keys needed for an ISO set. I was just wondering why the ISO hash key isn't included?

This one:

[LechnerDE]

That's because this key has different legends for all the ISO languages.

Photekq chose the "|\" for the Row 3 Alpha. If I am not mistaken this is the ISO UK version.

Having said that, I am still sad the R4 ISO alpha key is blank.

I would prefer a random ISO legend on it. A blank key among all the other keys with legends just looks odd

Ok. The UK version is not the "|\" key, that is found on R4 next to the short shift key. The R3 key is the "#~" key that I mentioned. That's a shame.

Here is the UK layout:

[LechnerDE]

Now that you mentioned it I checked the Wiki for ISO layouts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout

Most languages use the "#". I have no idea why it's not used in this GB.

Still, the blank R4 key is worse for me than the wrong legend on this one 

[Blackhawk]

It's R3. The extra kit was originally around 53 keys, and had 10 or so keys dedicated to perfect UK ISO including icon only tab/backspace. However, it was wildly expensive, so I cut many things out. I also reduced UK ISO to US ISO, which is what you see there now. There's two ways of doing US ISO and both are correct - the way I have it with one blank R4 and one blank |\, or one R3 |\ and one R4 |\. I decided to go with the current setup for no particular reason, although I am considering switching to the 2x |\ setup for consistency (all keys would have legends rather than having one random blank). This wouldn't change the cost of the set.

From the pre-group-buy thread.

Thanks!

I really hope Photekq considers switching to the 2x |\ setup for consistency. The set would look so much better without a blank key!

Yeah, I also prefer 2x |\ keys. Looked great on Ivans dolch set.

I've just stumbled across this group buy after being away from the forum for some time but I am interested in joining for the Extra set so that I have the keys needed for an ISO set. I was just wondering why the ISO hash key isn't included?

This one:

So, as I've explained a few times..

ISO is the layout of key sizes. There are many, many regional ISO layouts with different legends. UK ISO is just one of them.

Originally the extra set contained the keys necessary for a perfect US ANSI -> UK ISO conversion, however it was an expensive and large set at the time (53 keys). I decided to cut a lot of things out. One of the things I did was switch UK ISO to US ISO. US ISO requires the lowest number of keys for a conversion. It means that everyone will be able to fill an ISO keyboard with this keyset, just not with their regional legends.

Having that blank R4 key or having a \| key instead are both equally valid for US ISO, and I have been considering swapping the blank for a \| key. I still may do this.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. I'll try my hand at finding an original Cherry UK ISO set, if not I may be ordering the Extra set :)

Just leave it as it is, people had months to say something about the key selections

[64rky]

Just wanted to check if the 400 hit marker to support 1800 is near?

[NorrisB]

Anyone have a photo of how this will look?

[shower_king]

Hi,where are we now? there are half month left. the skidata replic set almost happen, which may have some effect on reaching MOQ of classic beige.
If we couldn't hit MOQ, do we extend deadline or do something to meet MOQ?
EC have got about 16 orders

That's not entirely true.

Technically Photekq didn't even run an IC and everytime someone said something about other options he replied that everything is final. So I think it's fair to propose such a minor change now especially after he brought the option up himself.

I have placed my order right after the GB launched, so it's not a dealbreaker for me, but I would appreciate a non-blank R4 ISO alpha key anyway  :thumb:

This is a product pic from Originative:



Notice the screwed up TAB legend. We will have this fixed in this set, plus we have legends on the 1unit winkeys!

I'm not sure what we'll do if MOQ isn't reached by the deadline. I'm just going to wait until the deadline is reached and see where we are, then make a decision.

[CommonCurt]

250 is the minimum amount of orders we must have, correct?

Correct.

Any update on the paypal situation?

Probably more people would join if paypal was an option than just the people that sent you a message about it.

[ATXTider]

I _really_ don't get why using Stripe is a problem.
