[IC] GMK White on Black and Magenta Mod Pack [LIVE!]

[ideus]

Any chance to add 1u diamonds in R5 profile? Those rock!

Agreed! 

It's a bit too late to add them in the "standard" set but I'll looking into having them added if we hit a price tier (likely 500 sets).

Uh! well, I really hope the set does that great on terms of demand; but, realistically speaking, being a classic black set it is unlikely that that many fellows order one; but, again, thank you for your responsiveness. I just think that the proposal of the tennis-shoe set on offer now, that includes them, is really cool.

Well. Surely it's nicer than beige :-)

Edit: bars added to the base.

I hope that this does better, because I need bars, which come after 250 sets sold.

Bars were added to the base, haven't gotten an updated render yet

Well, this will be my chance to try bars on a Cherry set, I really love scoops since the first time I try them, I remember the wow factor the first time I typed on an OG Cherry with scoops.

I'm a scoops4life type of guy, bars feels like rolling my fingers over speed bumps every time I hit the keys. But I appreciate you adding those keys to the set for the ones who prefer it.

Sorry to bother you, but how can 1800 layout be supported there are only one 1u Alt and Ctrl?

take a look again
there's a 1x fn and Windows key or you could use one of the diamonds

As you've mentioned it is possible to cover a 1u bottom row but the legends will not be correct, however 1u menu keys (R4 and R5) and a second 1u Alt and 1u Ctrl will be added at 250 and 500 MOQ respectfully. So if we hit 500 then it will support it 100%.

[effectiveduck]

Unfortunately I don't have WoB winkeyless mods but she's still beautiful



... And slightly out of focus

Cant wait for this MOD PACK

I wish we could reach that heigths, and I'm quite sure that we'll make it.

But, just to make me feel more comfortable, I think that you could allow those who purchase a full set, to buy some extra keys. One addon pack made of 4 keys: 1u R1, 1u R2, 1u R3, 1u R4. That would be great.

That's never gonna happen with GMK's MOQ, unless you're willing to buy 150 sets of those 4 keys  :p

To be perfectly honest it's just not feasible to have a small add-on pack. Mainly because it likely wouldn't hit MOQ, would be redundant if we had 500 orders and it's far too late to be adding new stuff now, the group buy is happening in ~ a week.

However I think we have a very good chance of reaching 500 sets sold, so I wouldn't worry about it

Hey effectiveduck, have you got anymore information about the pricing for the whole kit and any plans for pricing tiers? Also how long will the group buy period be?

[effectiveduck]

Hey mate,

I can't give definitive pricing just yet, it'll probably be released a day or 2 before the GB starts, but it's very low considering the number of keys included.

The WoB set will have price reductions at 250, 500 and 1000 as well as additional keys at 250 and 500, the magenta set will also have price drops but won't have any additional keys. The group buy will last between 3 weeks and a month, so you'll have plenty of time to save up.

Thanks for your consideration, counting the pennies starting now

This is one of the most compatible sets ever in the most elegant and classic color possible, I just hope it reaches good demand so we can get it at a great price, also. Even those that do prefer bright colors could appreciate the value of having this example of a classic revamped.

The black makes brighter and more dramatic any mod set.

I think those magenta mods are plenty bright!

An splash of color that perfectly fits the classic of classics.

No mixing of mod packs though, just go with a base and and accent, I don't know how people can deal with having each modifier be a different colour, it bugs the heck out of me!

Glad it is open already at the OR site; but, it would be good to have it approved here, too.

Is there any way I can order extra GHB keys with the set? Will need those for my trackpoint mod if possible.

Resale? who in its right mind get a set like this thinking in reselling it? 

Just joking!, good luck getting the extras you need, it seems to me like a very long shot, but who knows.

I think the way GMK works with their MOQs, you're better off buying out an entire 150 sets of just those 3 keys 

[priyadi]

For this to work, I'm hoping MOQ can be counted per key, not per set. It would take GMK minimal effort to increase production of 200 "G" keycaps to 201, for example. Otherwise, I have to be content with blanks again this time.

It might not actually. We don't know the process, they might make a bunch of keys at a time.

[JaccoW]

Remind me to keep an eye on this.

That's not how my understanding of GMK MOQs is, but I hope you're right.
