Anyone interested in GMK Miami?

maybe, but it should be better to stick with ESC Pack news in this thread don't you think?

for instance, how's the shipping status? Is there any new photos of the received package from GMK?

for a professional seller, I would say this thread have less information than a normal group-buy ...well, or I'm just getting too much impatient for receiving this :/

Nah Prelim, while I don't want to be unduly harsh to UKKeycaps I think you're right - I want more info too...

The numerous PM's you have sent me indicate you are getting quite impatient haha.

I don't have a DSLR with me currently so I didn't want to post pictures I took with my phone camera, but here they are anyway (apologies for the blurryness). Professional looking photos will be up around Friday/Saturday.

I think bad pictures are definitely better than no pictures! The key in these GBs is communication. Thanks for sharing anyway. Looking good!

idd, better than no photo at all! thanks for the effort @UKKeycaps

First it's a picture on a Turtle Beach, so what's there not to like? Second if someone doesn't want that red/green esc...

I can't wait to get my hand on these bad boys... these Esc caps look dank AF.
Thanks for the picture @UKKeycaps. Like they said, one photo is better than no photo.

That blank set on the TBI 500 looks good aswell. I'm typing on the same keyboard right now.
Blues 4 life!

Keys will be just under 50% shipped as of tomorrow! People in the UK should start receiving their packs as of tomorrow too!

@miguelbazil I think I can trade the red/green esc

Aw yiss.

No notification emails, just remain patient for a while longer

Waiting for better pictures, but colors look good on the last one already.

I thought SP made the original Miami keyset? Later copied by Tai-Hao?

And then GMK made the Miami Nights theme?

That last picture looks great.

I'm patiently waiting for mine... any time now...

oh boy, that green on Red turned out really well! ...next to an OG Cherry sticker will be pr0n

Received these keys today - thanks =]

100% shipped!

wow, that was fast @@

I got mine yesterday, thanks UKK!

Got mine from the mail today, thanks! I find legends on the red & magenta caps to lack a bit of contrast/sharpness, but that's just personal opinion and the rest is flawless.

A bit of light bleed though:



It's only really bad on the orange key, I can barely notice it on other affected caps (cyan, blue, red & magenta) at normal backlight level (picture taken at max brightness, otherwise the sensor has trouble picking it up with the ambiant light). I'll probably stick something opaque under the keys to prevent it but as it stands, it's no big deal.

That cyan would look great on my 'cock Will you have have extra sets for sale on your website ?

arrived!



sadly, I've bought 4 packs (3 aren't for me) but I didn't received them seperately... guess the sorting work would take more 30sec :/

Jesus H, that light bleed is absolutely awful. What the shit?!

I'd be curious to see if all colors are affected the same way (meaning if all orange caps bleed the most) or if there are just huge inconsistencies from GMK keycaps generally. Post your caps when you get them guys!

Mine came in today.
Here's a couple photos (sorry for the piss poor quality):



These are my first GMK keycaps so I don't really have anything else to compare these with but from what I've seen I must say that I'm pleased with them overall. The colors look nice and vibrant, the caps are somewhat thick and the legends look fine aswell.

I don't have a backlit keyboard to try these above leds lighting and see exactly how much light bleed I can detect on each cap, but I've tried to put them over a small led lantern thingy I have here in my room (it's a key holder with a small single white led) and I barely notice any light bleed on most of the caps. The one that bleeds the most is the orange one, which goes in line with what you said in your post.

I can agree, they are thick, have clean legends and have nice colours. I quickly held them over my phones flash and all except the green one have light bleed. Orange has the most light bleed, purple the least. I have to menion, that the flash is slightly (and by "slightly" I mean "a lot") brighter than regular keyboard LEDs, so that the purple cap shouldn't show any light bleed in a keyboard setting.

Having to pack 250 sets of keycaps means any time shortcut is one worth taking
