final edit: I guess even with all the newer mech keyboard users these days, the abundance of keyset choices keeps these smaller sets from getting made.

[OG G81-3000HBD Handarbeit]
Ruseupi's blog http://pinchocodia.tistory.com/17



Hey, Guys!
Here I come back again with GMK Handarbeit+ is one of the most interesting keyset.

This is GMK Handarbeit+ Keycap set GB.

Inspired by G81-3000HBD OG Handarbeit keyboard.
Some years ago, G81-3000HBD OG keyboard with various colorful double shot keycap was found by Ruseupi.
Its housing had engrave as 'Handarbeit', and many users have called this keyboard as just "Handarbeit".

About 2 years ago, I designed this set and finally this set come true!
Just join this GB to get legendary keyset!!

Seen it mentioned many years ago BUT you are connected to "Geekhack" hence NO go for myself but if it ever appears on a 3rd party Group Site like Kono, KBDfans or even MassDrop, then I would be in it for sure.

Good luck on this.

Thank you for running this, Handarbeit is finally coming down under .

cocobrais from GH is the one who is running this; blighty just did a cross post.

But happy as well that this is finally happening. I'm going with an R kit for the OG factor though I only have an UK ISO.

Ya, I am just trying to help others see this buy. It seems GMK buys are almost a dime a dozen now, and many (outside of massdrop) struggle to reach MOQ. I figured the only way the DE set has a chance to reach MOQ is peeps here on DT take a bit of interest. I have nothing to do with this buy other than I bought the M kit. Let's hope there are deep enough pockets world wide to get all these kits produced!

I already joined for a German set. I hope it'll hit moq

MassDrop has far greater market 'penetration' (not being rude here) hence everyone seems to trust them more than any other online retailer.

Also you could easily back out of the purchase at any time, even after the Group Buy finishes and MOQ is successful.

Not promoting the scumbags here but do be aware that they still attract attention from all over the world.

this
is
amazing
I remember seeing this hadrabeit keyboard in pictures and thinking how amazing it looked. I'm glad other people think that too!

[blighty]

I wonder if the DE set would be more popular if it actually fit more than just winkeyless boards?

[blighty]

Hmm, 18 kits sold for the M+ kit (6 for DE, 5 for Icon), with 24 days to go. It blows my my mind that just a few years ago we had to scour ebay and taobao for Cherry doubleshots or dyesubs, but now there are group buys for all sorts of custom keysets. I think right now there are at least 4 GMK sets running in group buy/pre order mode (Carbon, Coniferious R2, handarbeit, Chocolatier), and countless MX-compatible sets available on OCO, zfrontier, or kbdfans. I'm thinking that with all the keyset choices out there, there just is not as much of an imperative for people to participate in group buys. These non-corporate/MD backed buys are hard pressed to succeed unless the vendors buy a decent portion of the MOQ as stock.

Anyway, hopefully enough people realize how much they need a keyset that has the majority of GMK's default plastic colours in one set and jump on board this buy.

edit: added Chocolatier to GMK GB list. as it stands, i'd bet only carbon will get produced, unless the vendors/deep pocketed individuals step up
