Hello! Love the set and am going to get almost all the kits except NORDE and orange alphas. Made an account to ask some quick questions about a few kits. Questions/requests in order of priority
Novelties -
1. Could you add novelties in ivory text/legend with gray background to match the bone base set mods and the rolling bones kit? Would love to have the hexagon and 6 / 12.011 C in that colorway. Would be very nice to put on top row leftmost key (where people normally put novelties/artisans) and on mods in the r4/r5 rows. Right now the only novelty in that colorway is the 2.25 graphene key.
^ the most important request/question!
2. Is there a reason that the 12 / 6 C novelty is not in this round? Would love to have that in the ivory text on gray background color scheme.
Rolling bones -
1. Would it be possible to have the all suits in both colorways? (Ie: heart and diamond in ivory with gray background, spade and club in orange on gray background). This time rolling bones set has less keys because no 1.5u suits keys, so perhaps this might be possible?
2. Can the dice key be in non-stepped format for those of us with non-stepped keys? There is the option for stepped and non-stepped format in the base kit.
Rolling bones set should be very popular, because so many people are requesting it and paying multiples over initial selling price on r/mechmarket, so I think people would be willing to pay.
Homing keys
1. Would scooped homing keys be an option for this round?
First of all the
kits are locked. So its too late for requests for adding keys or changes.
Anyway i want to answer some questions or explain the kits.
Novelties kit.1. This kit is for Carbon but there are few keys in Bone colorway so people who bought Carbon and Bone could use some novelty keys on Bones
to show off its Origin. Also putting Carbon Icons on Super keys in Bone set will give it a nice orange touch. Ivory mods is an extension kit and its there to utilize spare alphas if people buy other alphas. Also you can use Ivory mods for mixing with alphas of other sets. However i dont view Ivory as a base set which deserves some kind of novelty or support in existing novelty kits. Maybe in the next possible drop i will work it out into full base set and then i will introduce its own theme with novelties. But in the end Novelties kit is in the first place for Carbon base kit.
2. The C 6/12 key is not available (please differ the rounds in profiles: this is GMK Carbon Round 2 and GMK Carbon Round 1 did not had that novelty at all) because it does not look good on Cherry profile. The C 6/12.011 is the appropriate version of C 6/12 novelty for Cherry profile.
Rolling bones.1. This Novelty kit is designed specifically for the Bone base set. And it will stay as such. Its there to push the bone colorway because its less popular than Carbon which is a fact.
2. For the caps lock, i think its ok that the design for the stepped and non stepped caps lock is different. Actually i wanted to use 777 for stepped caps lock but its too wide and i did not want to use the dices on the caps lock at all, because enter has it already. But i had to make compromise and that's why i am using the dices on stepped caps lock. I personally want to leave the 777 as it is.
Rolling bones is semi popular. Again you who prefer Bones are the loudest but Carbon is more popular what ever you might say. Even in the drop of Carbon themed deskmats the Carbon mats outsold Bone greatly. Also Rolling bone is sought after because its rare. It did not sold as well as Carbon Novelties. Tho i wish people would appreciate the things for that they are and not for their rarity. Once things are widely available no body cares for it. This is how things work in this hobby and probably in other hobbies too.
This IC thread is running since July 2018. There was plenty of time to make suggestion. Now there is a lot of stuff to do: like checking the pricing and making renders for the drop. I hope if i start another IC here and if i catch your interest again you will reply and make suggestions before Kit Lock
Does this mean that all the kits on page 1 will be available? Super excited for Beezarre kit and R0/5 keys. Orange alphas in GMK, woot woot.
Thanks for excitement and appreciation. Tho it does not mean the kits will stay as they are. I will look at pricing for each kit and decide if its worth it. If the prices for particular kits are too high then i need to chop it down. In the worst case even remove the kit completely. But i think GMK and Massdrop will work out acceptable condition and i hope i will not be forced to make any changes.
Cool. I understand!
Thanks for making the initial Norde kit! Looking forward to the Drop
Thanks for understanding. I appreciate this.
Honestly if there were no MOQ i would have made NORDEUK kit for every colorway and far more kits. There are many kits which i would love to make but i had to discard those because i offer already too many kits. GMK Carbon has now
18 kits. This is insane!
