Haven’t heard from our
German friends yet, but I have secured a Korean proxy! This
will be done by Cocobrais who you may know from GMK Burgundy
and some damn cool Korean customs! He guarantees the sale of
75 base sets, 50 space-bar kits and 50 add-on kits (meaning
that he’ll buy them out of pocket if he doesn’t sell that
many). This means that MOQ shouldn’t be an issue for any of
the kits

Thank you for all of
your input, the final quote has just been put in at GMK! I
expect the response to take a couple of weeks. The GB will
go up ASAP after I receive the response though! Thank you
for all your support so far, I hope this trend continues
into the GB so we don’t run into any MOQ issues
Whatttt is up my fellow keeb lovers!!
With its classic beige tones and stylish splash of
colour, the 9009 colourway designed by Reuters in the 90’s
has sure made an impression on this community. So much in
fact, that the set is going for insane amounts of money on
mechmarket. This really pains me everytime I see it since I
absolutely adore simple sets like this and I know I’m not
the only one not able to splash the cash on it.
There
was a PBT GB on KeyClack some time ago but frankly, it
really didn’t look the same
. So I decided to spend some times on getting things set up
for another round of 9009. I am in talks with vendors for
both the EU and the US, Dixiemech.com and mykeyboard.eu
respectively, both of which are great guys and have been
super helpful in this process. David from Mykeyboard will
also be supplying matching keyboard sleeves and cables on
both his site and on Dixiemech, both of which are handmade
in Belgium
.
I have already put in a quote about a week ago, and
am waiting for a response. Don’t worry, you won’t be paying
$180 for a GMK set here folks! The price range I’m trying to
aim at is $140-150, this might not seem super low but please
keep in mind that the USD-EUR is going down again and that
we will be paying all necessary tax, something that doesn’t
seem to happen much in this community. This can make a 21%
revenue difference
Either way, all is depended on GMK’s quote. Let’s hope they
pleasantly surprise us
I have also put in some time making renders on
boards and to show off the kit design.
Tl:Dr:
What? Another run of GMK
9009, the classy colour scheme used on Reuters trading
boards .
When? Depended on
feedback and GMK’s supply, but a lot of work is already
done. September seems like an achievable goal.
How much?
Depended on the quote we get from GMK, trying to keep it at
$140 in the US and 125 ish including 21% tax for my fellow
Europeans.
Updated Kit Design
Please consider that
since price is an issue not everybody can get all specific
keys they want. After going through all advice and feedback
I genuinely feel like this is the best balance between the
number of keys and cost I can give you. I hope everybody
understands that if I added every key all people wanted this
would turn into a 200 base kit, and I’m probably not even
exaggerating here. Unless there are major issues found in
this kit design it will stay as is, tweaking this for ages
will only slow down the process of running this GB.
Base
kit
Add-on kit
Spacebar kit
Renders
Rubreh Domeh (there will be a center stemmed 6u
spacebar in the kit!)
Modern M0110

Things to fix, add, …
- Getting a quote from GMK
