SO COOL.

I sent you a request for a couple singles, Ivan...Got my CMYKs in a different part of the state, they are slated to be here MONDAY. WHOO!

I think majority pink keys with the cmy modifiers + caps lock + windows key + rightclick menu/fn in purple will be SO fun. :) Mine will be unique for sure :D

Is it possible to have it matte or semi-opaque to scatter the light more?
I guess they can do it in any degree of translucent/opaque as Ivan said they could get most plastic colors we wanted. it would also be cool to do it in a opaque white instead of the regular white, that way it would be backlight supportive (to some degree) while not looking like it.
I think clear will look better with GMK than SP, since the keys are thicker which probably hides the flanges on the inside a bit.

Cherry caps don't have what i understand as flanges on the underside, they only have those strengthening fins but are flush otherwise.

Cherry/GMK doubleshots do have stripes on the inner side, I think that's what Broadmonkey means. Look at the picture of the Geekhack keys for what I mean by "stripes".

Yes, the first shot/second shot lines. I know Cherry had some that were a big block where the legend was, not stripes. Perhaps GMK has those and can hand pick those only? I don't know... I will see what I can find out and if I can get a sample key to see for ourselves before jumping the deep end.
I was thinking of putting in some of these kind of experiment keys, windowed keys, etc. if we do the white/purple nav/function/numpad pack. Maybe some alternates like 1.75 C row Control, B row caps locks, WASD or rows C,D cursor arrows, maybe a couple other.

So...here's my Ducky Shine 2 :)

With the CMYK's... ^______^

Ivan, thanks again for doing this, and for letting me participate as a newbie!

So so excited. Very excited for the purple singles I've bought for the Winkeys and the right click menu/fn key, too! :)

It's fun seeing these keycaps on all sorts of different keyboards.
Sorry kbdfr, I don't think GMK offers that keycap profile...

Not the profile, but the colors match!

I've heard it's Ivans secret plan to make us go through sets until we can finally combine them and make the handarbeit candy keyboard set

No no, the Handarbeit GB is over here.

let the customs games begin.. 1 week or 6 weeks what'll it be

The DSA-Retro shipment was very fast, 10 days! :o
In another order, I'm now waiting for over three weeks but that's not unusual.

Got my Esc pack, thanks!
Those GMK keycaps look so much better than Signature Plastics. I'm looking forward to other GBs! Also the CMYK turned out much better than I expected, maybe next time it could be remade with white legends for even better match to white on black doubleshots.

There are still 18 order left to send, but I ran out of mailers so if you haven't got a shipment notice with a tracking via paypal yet you are probably one of those people. There will be a short delay few days for me to send those out while I wait for the mailers I ordered to arrive to me. Sorry.

Got my order today. The CMYK set is beyond some of the best I have seen in conjunction with a white-on-black keyset, and the purple keys reminds me of the Game Cube in a good way :D

Good to see some of international orders turning up and not being delayed forever or lost by the customs office.

He was hanging onto my dvorak dyesub set to ship with the gmk to save on shipping :)

although a gmk dvorak alpha set... you should suggest it ;)

Posted: 27 Jun 2013, 15:01
by IvanIvanovich
Yes dirge, yours was one of first orders sent actually. I don't think dvorak doubleshots will ever happen with GMK as there is not enough demand as far as I have seen. Only like 15 set were made with dyesubs.

Thanks :) I'll make sure to get some pics on an Ansi phantom and post them! :)

Got my white on purple modifiers set today, thanks a very lot.

The colour is even worse than expected, but the quality is absolutely unbeaten.
And there were 3 caps too many in my bag - hope they're not missing elsewhere :mrgreen:
