Yes, exactly, you could do that for the most common Grey/White set that is quite popular, or the WoB. I would not mind to pay also for UK/DE/NOR/FR/ legends. I like using some of them:scottc wrote: ↑I think it would be cool to organise an ANSI to UK/DE/NOR/FR/... adapter set. Or even a DE to UK/NOR/UK/etc adapter. DE doubleshots are so common and so cheap to get in really good condition.
I agree 100%. Basically, I need to figure out the business end of things, such as registering a business, etc. before i can consider taking on a major group buy like this, but i am definitely on top of this. I want to create not just one set of keys, but a group project that will bring everyone together. I hate the hate^^.DanielT wrote: ↑I think that we should get organized and create a GB tailored to our needs, a GMK GB, because there have been a lot of GB's that addressed all the localization "issues" (Granite, Round5 ..) . GMK is in Europe, I just don't see why we could not find 250 individuals interested in something like this. I know people think "why should I buy a set that includes Nordic or German stuff if I don't use it" , well the answer is simple, you do it for the community because none of this would ever exist without Americans, Germans, Italians, French, Swedish, Koreans and the list can go on. In such a project people should think that buy paying something extra is making a gift to a fellow keyboard enthusiast. If people are ready to pay 30-40$ for an artisan cap I'm sure they will be able to do that for some extra caps.
I wouldn't mind buying a GMK set that contains Nordic or German legends, even if I use ANSI US those caps would be like novelty caps for me and fun to use on my board.
Just my 0.02$ I know sometimes I expect to much from others...

And if you read the discussion which follows, you will see the arguments I objected "at the proper timing", as you put it.kbdfr wrote: ↑[…] I wonder, though, that our US friends expect us Europeans (and others) to help them reach the MOQ

Including an *OPTIONAL* language kit with a group buy like this on a group buying site like massdrop would have had a huge chance to succeed, especially when you compare it to some of the other "companies" or individuals that have tried running group buys with ISO kits.SL89 wrote: ↑Wasn't one of the big hangups the huge moq needed for the custom colors? 250 is doable, 500 less so, 1000 even less likely. Unfortunately for those outlier groups, ANSI and English had the most purchasing power, I'm sure if there were a majority ISO / International users then it wouldn't be as much of a hurdle. Iirc Hyperfuse had the exact same issue.
How do you come to this conclusion? Do you have one single example of a group buy or other keycap buy where anywhere near 250 international kits (comprising more than one language) were sold? I haven't seen anything like this so far.Ascaii wrote: ↑Including an *OPTIONAL* language kit with a group buy like this on a group buying site like massdrop would have had a huge chance to succeed, especially when you compare it to some of the other "companies" or individuals that have tried running group buys with ISO kits.
