UKKeycaps GB #3: GMK Escape Pack (7 keys - £11.40) - PLACING ORDER!

Nice. I've been waiting for this.

Prelim · 01 Jan 2016, 23:46

I didn't understood... is there any production update from GMK besides the previous ETA estimate?

Last time I checked with GMK they said they were spot on with reaching their delivery estimate (mid jan)

lolpes · 04 Jan 2016, 22:25

when was that?

14th December, will ask again now.

EDIT: Looks like GMK gets back to work on the 11th, according to the automatic reply I received.

lolpes · 04 Jan 2016, 23:47

Hope they can meet their schedule but if they only resume at the 11th then count on having delays. Maybe try and ask them for some pictures of some of the caps when they get produced

As soon as I hear back from her I'll ask for some pictures

seems to me that GMK will not meet the established ETA

DON'T PANIC! AHHHHHHH! Just kidding, but seriously, don't panic, it won't much later than the ETA I'm sure.

Prelim · 14 Jan 2016, 19:29

no production updates?

UKKeycaps · 14 Jan 2016, 22:32

Ok I got an email today. They have to push back their shipping estimate to the beginning of February due to delays from the company that supplies the plastic to them. Hopefully they'll stick to that estimate!

Well at least we know everything is going according to their plan, phew that scared me, for a moment there I almost thought that they were going to keep the original estimate

Looking forward to get these nice Esc caps. I already have plans for one of them.

Please tell me more

Prelim · 15 Jan 2016, 23:40

and the delay award once again goes to... GMK!

UKKeycaps · 17 Jan 2016, 21:21

Add a proper update about the small delay to the main post. Stay strong everyone you'll be fondling GMK cherry profile goodness soon. And as soon as this GB is wrapped up and everyone has their keys, the next GMK GB will launch

(Keep an eye on MechSupply for it)

Prelim · 17 Jan 2016, 21:29

better doing an IC first just to check whatever GMK keycaps would be selected, no?

Yup I'll do a brief one. It'll be a mod pack influenced by this image from reddit:

Prelim · 17 Jan 2016, 21:51

Btw, just remember the market is already filled with RGB and CMY modifiers. What is lacking are spacebars, moogle kits, some other full single color mods or Enter keycap only.

well, lets see it when the Esc GB gets complete.

lolpes · 17 Jan 2016, 23:22

And code keycaps do not forget code keycaps! Also arrows!

UKKeycaps · 18 Jan 2016, 01:17

Hah ok well I'll do a first round interest check that narrows down if it'll be another esc pack, a mod pack, moogle kit, ISO-Enter and left shift pack, arrow pack etc!

Well, GMK ISO enters, I'm in already.

rddm · 25 Jan 2016, 15:14

I want a ISO enter and a spacebar in V4

scottc · 25 Jan 2016, 15:20

An ISO adapter kit would be very cool and kind of in-line with UKKeycaps' ideals

I must agree with this fantastic idea, however most GMK sets already come with ISO keys.

Maybe ISO adapters for sets like Charred Orange?

x2, but I really doubt MOQ just for iso caps can be reached

UKKeycaps · 25 Jan 2016, 19:02

The Chinese vendor who bought 100 sets in this group-buy is the main reason it went to production and didn't fail. I'll have to see what he thinks would be a good option first since he was so influential in helping this GB to succeed. I doubt the Chinese will be interested in ISO kits :O

x3, an ISO enter + a nice spacebar of the same color would be pretty cool. I'd jump into that.

then we must include ANSI enters in the mini-kits as well, non-EU orders are always bigger and are those who can really help in achieving MOQ

soooooooo any updates?
