I was gonna order the sets and have them mailed to me and ship them out to you Euro guys with your orders to save on shipping.scottc wrote: ↑Don't forget that it'd be more like $8.5 + the $10 that EK charge to ship to Europe!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I imagine that if they would come from EK, bill would order from EK and ship the arrows with the rest of your order? So only 1 shipping charge to Europe.

Yep, it will be like that! I also added an arrow pack to my order.

I'd pair it with beige caps!

These additions have made this GB a LOT more appealing to me... This is really cool. You could easily cover two keyboards (one ANSI, one ISO) with a reasonable number of keys for $50.
It'd look great with WoB caps. Beige caps maybe, but WoB would be very nice!

Thanks billnye!
Have you thought about follow-up alphas?

What were thinking for the follow up alphas? A white on blue like the olivetti set or just having the alphas all in the same colourway?
I am big fan of blue and white on keycaps so I would be up for either.

My thoughts are much the same as yours, though I'd add that white on a darker blue would also work (of course).Stabilized wrote: ↑What were thinking for the follow up alphas? A white on blue like the olivetti set or just having the alphas all in the same colourway?

I considered the Olivetti set, though I'd really prefer to have UK ISO support, even if it does seem to be laughably impossible when the letters GMK are involved.

I think the Electric Blue fits well with the darker alphas of the Olivetti set. Picture from Duck (sorry for the size):

That's the exact reason I ordered this set, it is going on my board with a Hammer Olivetti set (which is slightly darker then the one in the picture?)wlhlm wrote: ↑I think the Electric Blue fits well with the darker alphas of the Olivetti set. Picture from Duck (sorry for the size):Spoiler:
In theory I think it would look great to have alphas in a lighter blue (maybe like this GB; N5) and mods in a darker blue (like the blue used in the recent Hammer olivetti; V4), but either way I would be interested in another blue/white key set!facetsesame wrote: ↑ My thoughts are much the same as yours, though I'd add that white on a darker blue would also work (of course).

I have considered an alphas group buy, but those don't ever seem to gather much interest. IE: Ivan's full TKL support for purple mods.
I would really like to see someone run a proper Olivetti group buy with proper legends and not costing $200.

Interesting, thanks. Olivetti seems like a safe bet, but I don't know the GMK world. I don't even remember Ivan's purple TKL buy (though I was hopelessly lost in Round 5 for a while...), that could have been up my street.
Though the way I seem to be going, I could end up looking for enough different colours to make arbitrary Handarbeit-a-likes. Tip: don't spend too long with a colour ring!

I haven't updated this thread in a while.
All invoices have been sent out and are due by 00:00 GMT June 11. After this date I will begin to transfer the money to GMK and get this group buy going!
Let me know if you will need a little extra time to pay and we can work something out .

I would also prefer blue V4, as it's way more similar to the old vintage olivetti capsStabilized wrote: ↑In theory I think it would look great to have alphas in a lighter blue (maybe like this GB; N5) and mods in a darker blue (like the blue used in the recent Hammer olivetti; V4), but either way I would be interested in another blue/white key set!

Since geekhack is down, I'll be updating the thread here for the time being.
I'm waiting for GMK to send me the initial invoice so that I can pay for the caps. I'll let everyone know once the invoice has been paid and production is beginning .

Just wanted to stop by and update this thread for all the DT people.
I received an email from GMK last week saying that the shipment to me has been delayed until late September/early October. I'll update everyone as I get more information.
