[GB] GMK Classic Beige

[FunkMasterJ]

Still can't change the fact that ABS shine a lot faster.

My GMK keys have no more shine than my PBT sets that have been used just as much

[quochung1989]

Re that BSP PBT Beige group buy.

Is that the one on IMSTO's site? Can someone explain to me what Peacock is? Is that just a recreation of an older board, which would explain the special side-printed legends?

1.for those people who could pay by paypal could buy these BSP on:http://www.imsto.cn/
2.side-printed legend is blue and dye-sublimation ,not pad print.

4.IMSTO buy non-legend keycaps from BSP, and he will do dye-sublimation and replication of peacock.

Yeah I'd rather not have a bunch of redundant crap on the side of my keycaps.

Me too.

I wouldn't mind. I think the set looks beautiful. There are already buttons I don't use on the keyboard; a few more wouldn't hurt!

Photeks GMK set has all the bells and whistles of the extra aet though, plus support for ISO layouts. So I am hoping we make it. I think GMK Classic beige is just one of the quintessential key sets that any keyboard enthusiast would love to have part in their collection. It mixes and matches so well with an enormous number of sets and looks professional just on its own.

It is not possible to send a PM with empty body.
Anyway: I do not want to purchase a Stripe Card only for this group by. Why is just bank transfer not possible?

Stripe is just a way of receiving payments, you can use your normal debit/credit card.

[jaffers]

I am only order number 87... This worries me.. EVERYONE NEEDS TO COME BUY THIS SET!!

I have only a Maestro Card and a local bank card. No MasterCard/Visa etc. I know the situation in Germany is a little bit special as there is a dedicated payment system.

[ViệtNV]

Don't cancel this GB, I've waited for so long.
I'm in Vietnam mini-GB

[naasfu]

wow, i'm surprised there aren't more orders for this. 

classic beige will match with all of the colors!  and this GB lets us get this beautiful colorway in the form of brand spanking new caps.  no more hunting for old cherry doubleshots, which are usually stained, yellowed, and mirror shiny.

here is my gon with super shiny og cherry doubleshots:

Would love to buy this set, but simply can't because stripe only accepts credit cards.   

Didn't someone say they would support debit as well? Also getting a credit card just for this seems a bit too much effort for me... I am sure that if we don't hit MOQ it will be because a lot of people couldn't put their order in due to Stripe being used. 



As for Germany, Credit Cards (even prepaid) are not that easy to come by and you usually have to go to a bank and apply for one which is a rather tedious process.

But normal german Debit Cards do not have an Expiry Date and a CVV/CVC



and in the previous step there is nothing else to select:

What will this look like with RGBYK, thanks for running this Photekq

Here is a pic from Dangwang of a vintage cherry set with RGBK mods. These are dyesubs an no doubleshots though.



By the way I already posted this in the RGBK thread...

It goes even further: I have a MaestroCard but with all this funny stuff. But as the shop is not supporting Maestro I get the message "wrong card number". I still do not see why it is so difficult to accept bank transfer.

[swornxin]

Placed my order. Hoping this goes through. Been waiting on it to put on my Octogon.

EDIT:  Looks like payment only goes through once the buy is over?

[NorrisB]

Man this is an amazing set Photeqk, thanks so much for making this happen. 

[kokokoy]

On my CC it appeared only after 5 days (normal transactions comes 2nd day).

Stripe takes a week for payments to clear

Just joined!
I have more keycap sets than keyboards but I don't want to skip this because this classic look is really beautiful

[Photekq]

I've had some people ask how Paypal is coming along..

I'm trying to make it available as fast as I can, but I've had to prove my identity to Paypal and a whole load of other crap. They're taking a long time to process it, so I'm not sure how long it will take.

i will stay with my order for two sets. the GB's deadline also be extended on EC in China.
I have given up BSP, just for classic and wait for this patiently.
Come on.

[joey]

Thank you shower_king, I hope Classic Beige will fulfil your Beige desires!

Which make you change decision?

[kekstee]

classic beige GMK hype!

[KHAANNN]

I love the colorway but the reason I'm skipping this set is the lack of alternative homing keys, modifiers can be collected/mash-up'ed, but the lack of lined F/J's can't be remedied

I'll probably join the extras pack for that 1.75 Control key tho, and probably some spacebars, I'm considering getting the main set for some random modifiers to be used in the future

I really like the CMYW+Purple+Dolch/Cyan Control+Beige keyboard by the way, I previously made the same Control/CMYW combination on a Dolch, yet it looks bad with a Dolch as the base of the Control is the same as the base of the Dolch, the legend color difference is really off putting, but with a beige-combo it really shines

I've seen some IMSTO discussion earlier, from first-hand experience, if GMK fonts are regular fonts, IMSTO's dye-subs are like retina fonts, yet his legend placement choices doesn't match GMK 1:1, as far as I see, he puts the top row upper legends to the topmost point, while on GMK keys they sit a bit lower, most probably by design to make them easier to read - with BSP's, they should double GMK in quality, yet he doesn't seem to directly offer a simple BSP/dye-sub set, all the sets are filled with complex additions, and Vortex dye-subs are slightly inferior to GMK's as the base keycap is Vortex

[joey]

KHAANNN: You should just get the main set too. I think it'd look good even if you had dolch style F/J, a small splash of a different colour. (It'd be great if someone had something like that to show)

I know that just using different F/J's look bad, but maybe row-to-row different alphas, or just different alpha-colored keys for ,< .> 1! [{ etc could look good, so indeed I probably should just get the main set

Wasn't there already a thread made specifically for this kind of stuff?

[swornxin]

Are we getting any closer to MOQ?

[NorrisB]

Photeqk are you planning on extending that deadline

[ComradeSniper]

Put in an order. Thanks Photekq, been looking forward to this one for a while.

Edit: Scratch that, my debit card is being declined. Anyone else have this issue? I guess I will wait for paypal.

I don't think theres any waiting for paypal, you have to message Phot if you want to pay that way.

Not sure if its the same thing, but on the site I got a "AVS Failure" status. Thought its been declined, but transaction went through after 2 days on my debit card. I can see them though on my pending trans right after my order.

The answer to this is no money.
I just have money for 3 sets, two for classic beige ,one for upcoming skidata replic. Between classic beige and BSP, i  choose the former

[Applet]

Can't fathom it not reaching MOQ, this is such a great set! 

[LechnerDE]

I have not given up hope yet 

I still think there are many prospective orders that only wait for PayPal to be available.

Stripe >>> Paypal by the way, if anyone is holding back for that reason, it was probably a mistake to advertise it as "Stripe" tho, everyone initially thought it was something like Paypal, while it's mainly a credit card processor

No need to give paypal 5%-10% of all transactions (the costs near 10% when they default your account to another currency and you receive a payment in USD, in this GB's case, the loss should be 2-3% tho)

The production time exceeds the paypal buyer protection, so no need to deal with paypal

[azhdar]

Stripe seems obviously better for the GB leader, but some people seem to can't be able to pay with it.

I think paypal is the same requirement - you can use a major debit/credit card.  Paypal does have the option to link your checking account but having a credit/debit card is a pretty universal thing so I don't know how it can be such an issue to people.  I may be uneducated in international payments though so who knows.

A Canadian debit card would not work with Stripe.  My American family sees debit and credit cards as the same thing, but Canadian debit cards and credit cards are not the same thing.  A debit card would be connected directly to a chequing/savings account, while a credit card would be separate and more like borrowing money which you then need to pay back.  I don't know about the rest of the world however.

[Belfong]

A debit card will work if it is affiliated with either Visa or MasterCard. I think if it is a country-issued local debit card that has no affliction, that card will not be accepted by Stripe.

US Credit and Debit cards function exactly like you describe above, and they're affiliated with either visa or master card.  We Americans assume it's the same everywhere, I suppose.
