GMK / Cherry doubleshot modifier packs (complete?)

For those considering it, maybe take a look at the order numbers on like the 18th and if it is close enough that it would push it to where we need to be and you can afford it then fantastic.

When might that be?

If this buy makes it through, then right after I will start IC for more things. Plan currently would be for white/purple nav, function, and numpad to make usual 2tone scheme, and then voting for something else from ideas put forward previously.

Lots of orders in last few days since Koreans are joining the party. Still need more love for CMYK though.

This is the problem, I want this set, but I want a full modifier set. It will just look stupid if I mix this with my current set since I'll get White, purple and gray caps. It will look horrible.

But if we get a full mod set so it's only white and purple caps it would look awesome, hence I'd buy it without a doubt.

Might get a set anyway just to be supportive, but this really bothers me. Basicly the only ones that will get this good looking is people that own poker/pure(or other 60%) keyboards.

There is methods to my madness. As things progress (if they do) things will start making more sense to why I am doing things this way.
I am trying to structure things in such a way that someone can make something resembling handarbeit without having to buy 4 different whole sets, just section components. Of course if want all sections to be the same colorway one can do that too with such a system.

To understand this better: won't subsequent group buys be likely to have similar MOQs from GMK's side ?

IvanIvanovich

I am sure they will have a similar required order amount, unless there is success with getting them to make less and cut us some slack. It definitely would be nice if they don't have to treat us same as big company with large capital to spend on custom keycap.

I (and maybe others) can drop cmyk & esc pack and put the money in another mod pack to help reaching at least 1 MOQ

I think about doing the same thing. Although I like all the sets, I want the purple modifiers the most. And I think we should rather get one thing done than fail with all three...

Is it possible to place a conditional order for a white on purple modifiers pack?
What I mean is: I want to help reach the MOQ and would buy one set if (and only if) it depends on my order.

To be honest, I find that colour scheme really ugly, but hoping there will be a GB for the same set of caps in vintage-like black on beige, I'm Interested on this GB being a success to build upon.

Yes, some guys on geekhack already did this and Lysol approved it. But I don't know what happens if we reach 303 and 10 guys want to withdraw their order...

They become a collective group and have to all place an order? :)

Neither do I :lol:
That would mean than 293 really wanted the set. So ordering 300 and splitting the last 7 sets (costs AND caps) between those 10 guys would be a solution. They would have to work it out themselves, of course :mrgreen:
But I for one wouldn't mind taking the whole set even if in fact I don't want it.
It's worth it if it allows to be able to have them made in black on beige later on.

Plus there's bound to be some people missing the group buy or coming to the keyboard scene later. So it could even turn out to be a good investment :mrgreen:
But again, I wouldn't want to buy those ugly caps if you reach the MOQ without me :lol:

... or just order the MOQ and raise the prices.
:mad:

If too many jump off, just push the deadline a bit.

This is how I would do it.
