[IC]German Interes Check for GMK in ISO-DE
« on: Thu, 11 August 2016, 06:18:19 »
Hey guys, I just don't know how many (or any?) germans are active on GH, but nevertheless I try to grab some attention. Some german keyboard (better: keycap) lovers are trying to organize the first german GMK groupbuy ever, and every participant that might join will help to reach the MoQ, so here we are.
More can be read (in german ofc) here:

All props to Alex for trying to make it real.

@GH staff: If this topic is in this particular subforum inappropriate - please do not behead me, apologies, and just let me know.

It gives off a 7bit Round [X] vibe, doesn't it?

Just note that the Y and Z keys are swapped on a German keyboard, which I find rather irritating.

But there is discussion whether keys for US layout would be added to the group order.

Big fan of Rocket Science too.

I think supporting ansi-us aswell would increase interest quite a bit. Not sure if it makes up for the increase in price tho.

German dolch interests me (as long as it will have icon only modifiers) as it's close enough to swedish layout =)

Really like the Rocket Science. I've been playing with the idea of having a German-style board with a QWERTZ layout and practicing my German writing on that. These caps would help push me to do that.

If you add a few keys, you could get us Swedes, Finnish people on board also. A few more and you'll add Danish and Norwegian also.

There is no way that this would reach 150 MoQ with a price too high, and I see no way for a sw/fn addon set reaching 150, sorry :(

It's just 7 1u keys but whatever. Would be a lot cheaper than that crazy built in ANSI adapter set you have going on. If you don't reach MOQ, maybe consider adding more languages and try for a more international approach next time :)).

BTW where are you at with your MOQ? I dont read german and could not spot it easily.

Well, 7 keys that are not needed by the core target would have made the whole set even bigger and more expensive as it is already - the target was to keep it as small as possible (I, for myself, voted for 105 keys and nothing else). Some people insisted on nordic, and yeah, it would have made quite sense, as you are saying: definately more sense then the nightmare for us ISOs to made an ANSI set compatible for us. But it was ultimately neglected due to the fact that the showrunner will not do international shipping. Although some people are available as proxies this decision has to be respected - the runner is having all the work.
The goal of the Groupbuy is btw not only the buying itself - but also meant as a signal towards GMK: "There IS need for ISO keys, there IS a market for this, make this goddam keys available on your uniqey shop, FFS!" So reaching the MoQ for the first time in a german GB towards GMK was the main focus.
Regarding MoG: I do not have exact numbers, but it is something below 50 right now. I for myself didn't placed an order yet, as I am one of the mentioned proxies and await some PMs regarding orders for others, and more proxies are doing the same. It is looking okayish, but not soooo good. But we have a news on the front page on the community page of the forum in which the GB is organized, and this news will hopefully help a lot.
