Ordering is officially closed now, and will be working on sorting the order details and placing an order. ETA is 6 weeks after January, but no guarantees.

Glad to have you on board!

Last day to place an order; order forms close midnight PST.

Thanks for all the support! Very happy to see this project come to life.

One day left folks.

Just a little update, every set, including Relegendables have met MOQ, and will be going into production.

With three days left, hopefully everyone who wants a set can make it in before the deadline.

Met up with Zeal yesterday, and had a photoshoot with the original Skidata keycaps.

http://i ...

Lots of orders have been steadily flowing in ever since we reached MOQ. Just a reminder that there's less than 10 days left until November 30th, which is when orders close, and hopefully anyone that might want a set will be able to make it in time.

Artisans raffle will be conducted shortly after ...

Good news, everyone!

It is my pleasure, with extreme happiness, to announce that we have officially reached MOQ for the SKIDATA+ Base Set, Colour Pack , and their respective spacebars.

We are still lacking a lot of orders for the Relegendables to happen. I have hope that we will make the numbers ...

I'd be happy with screwed on rubber feet.

To make it clear that we're not confusing the front and the back, let's use the terms "far side" and "near side", as in, near to the user, or far from the user.

The near side would probably be too thin for screw in feet, so would it be possible to have ...

I love how the prototypes turned out.

Is there any chance to introduce feet to the bottom of the case?

I noticed that the Kishsaver (atleast the one I tried out) did not have flip-out feet at the bottom, and the typing angle was a little negative (the angle was tilted down, even).

It wasn't too ...

Just a little update for those keeping an eye on this:

We've reached 1/4 MOQ for both the Base Set and Colour Pack in just under a week.

Will need a bit more support on the Relegendables, but unfortunately it seems like it might not make it.

Hoping for the best, and that we will reach the goal ...

Some questions not answered yet: are the artisan caps full caps? Will the raffle winner be able to choose his? What with the other ones?

Artisan caps are all triple-shot, complete caps with MX stems, they are not "relegendable tops".

BingeCaps has finished making his keycaps, KatzenKinder is ...

Actually, I don't think that marketing is necessary for a group buy at all.

Karura, I apologise if you got the wrong idea from what I wrote. I don't mean to criticise you too harshly. I appreciate that you're passionate about creating an accurate homage to the Skidata set. It's just that ...

GMK GBs are difficult to reach MOQ as you're already aware, so I only wish to be informative about the differences by using photography and actual evidence to inform and garner as much support as possible.

And yes, I do strongly feel that the translucent and duller looking orange plastic leads to ...

Love the keyboard, what is it? From the style it looks like a LZ.
As for the GB, I'm a huge fan of SKIDATA, I already have a set of original Skidata and a Charred Orange, I just can't justify spending that money :( Maybe I will take the Colour Pack, even if, to be honest I have more caps I can use ...

Took a few photos of my original Skidata set, with a few Charred Orange pieces filling out the ANSI spaces for the Halloween festivities.

I am not sure when was the last time there was a GMK GB that included windowed LED keys
*ahem* :roll:

Although I guess that never actually happened :lol:

Good luck with the GB. It's a nice, well thought out set although the choice of legends isn't my cup of tea

Thanks, haha, well you know ...

I am not sure when was the last time there was a GMK GB that included windowed LED keys (in the base set), and a comprehensive set of keys to support a variety of layouts.

Maybe the artisans aren't to your tastes, that is all right, it is an optional raffle. I also do not know of another GB that ...

Hmm, I like classic beige, but I think the blacked out look of a WoB is just very different.

But you know how they say: variety is the spice of life! Good to have a bunch of different ones, as long as the wallet can hold it.

No problem! I'm happy to communicate and answer questions.

By the way, photos of the BingeCaps are out!

That double @ really makes me laugh everytime. :lol:

What's with that anyway? What keyboard layout has @ on the Q key? Certainly isn't US or US international layout, because then you get ä if you press AltGr+Q
German ISO

I guess it's done in homage to the fact that many of the SkiDatas out ...

I would be more than happy to answer some questions! :)

To save time and repetition, I have copy and pasted my response from the GH thread regarding pricing:

I also hear you all on the pricing, and would like to elaborate on what SKIDATA+ has to offer.
To begin with, GMK had always had a MOQ of ...

11/17/2015 Updates: We have reached MOQ for Base Set and Colour Pack. All orders of the Base Set and Colour Pack, as well as their respective spacebars will be guaranteed to go into production. More orders are required for the Relegendables.

Hello DT!

Just ...

Hello DT,

First time really posting, and just wanted to introduce myself.

I've been at this keyboard hobby since 2011, and have been using a mechanical keyboard (my first keyboard was a clicky board with Aristotle switches from 1997, and have used IBM Model M BS boards since 1996).

I'm very ...

I recently bought an Eizo EV2736WFS-GY in hope it'd be more white than grey, since it'd have been a good match for my new desk, but as it turns out it's pretty beige-grey. Pretty much the CRT color, wohoo! Not a very pleasant surprise for me, but if you're in the market for 90s' color monitors this ...
