Now that you say that you’re right, I guess it makes sense since the first few MTNU sets have been pretty much just from NovelKeys who obviously have a close relationship with GMK. I’m sure at some point it will be more open to the public but we shall see.
Man. This looks like what I wanted out of the first custom key set I ever bought, DSA Dolch. Good lesson in what I like and what I don’t
Don’t you be knocking DSA. Thems fightin words.
My MTNU set comes tomorrow. Adding it to my 2 GMK sets, my DSA set, and my DSS set.
Pulling for DCS Dolch to go to group buy
That’s just how I learned I didn’t like uniform profiles as much as sculpted ones - or that there was a distinction at all.
Now DSS Dolch I could really get into. :3
At first I read this as you only having 2 GMK, 1 DSA, and 1 DSS set… total. I was thinking to myself, “that can’t be right”
Oh good point. Yes, sets of the Dolch colorway
I need to catalog my keycap sets. I’ve been putting it off because I honestly feel overwhelmed when I look at them. It has to be over 350 sets at this point. I’m doing rough math b/c there are 20 totes full of keycaps at the moment. And most of them fit around 16 sets. Of course, the ones that are on keyboards take up far less room so some have more than that, and big SA kits sometimes only fit 12 to a tote.
But I don’t really want to know. Because I just realized that if they average $100-$200 a set and I have 350 of them… Yeah. Let’s not count them.
I can’t help myself. I love variety. It’s the heart and soul of this hobby for me.
Apparently my MTNU Dolch set had a much bumpier journey, but did get here in under 72 hours!
The SA Geoma Dark desk mat and Shogun tactile switches I ordered in Vala’s last 50% off sale arrived earlier this week. Mat looks great and the switches are punchy!
The tater trays don’t hold up to rough journeys so well. My set of CYL WoB from Dorp arrived in similar condition, makes you wonder what our packages went through to get to us… Yeah NK don’t mess around with shipping. I ordered my set yesterday morning & it was here today with the free shipping!? I mean I only live like an hour & a half away from NK, but that is still some crazy turnaround time!
I live farther away, in the midwest, and it still got to me as quickly as NK can manage since they shipped it out immediately. Also this profile is really pleasant, looks, sounds, and feels nice.
I got these a while ago but being an ISO nazi I love them
You can still grab them on candykeys, https://candykeys.com/product/gmk-tik-r2
New batch in stock!
Too little, too fast. Every time I check, it’s all sold out. Thanks though.
They pinged the discord server when it went live. If you really want to snag one, your best bet is joining the discord server.
What if the bottom left accent is the red one instead. With the teal light on the right too, it’s sort of unbalanced. With a little red on the left, it could balance it all out a bit… I’m just curious.
Some restoration projects arrived! Two IBM 5576-002 PS/55 Japanese Keyboard (Alps SKCP keyswitches) and a Unicomp Model M4 (IBM buckling sleeves)!
Also received two of Raspberry Pi’s new Pico 2s with the also new RP2350 chip! 150MHz and two RISC-V compatible cores to play with and trial for my modular keyboard converter project (because I totally need an order of magnitude more processing power than the keyboard’s original PCs for converting to USB…)
I’m really liking the key set offering from this MTNU Dolch set. Just a few extra accents and you can really play around with it, and keep the same layout fresh and interesting.
Aww yeah, finally got Dualshot! Omni with the super quick shipping too! Although Omni does use UPS which I am not the biggest fan of TBH. Also managed to cram the accent kit & a few of the colored spacebars into the tater trays (that’s why the caps are arranged they way they are in my pics)! Not sure what I’m gonna put it on yet. Finally having it in hand makes me want to put it on the board I’m using, but I got MTNU Dolch on that right now & am really enjoying using that profile.
I will never NOT chuckle when I hear tater trays, lol. A buddy of mine just had his basement under water in the wake of the recent hurricane. He had the pleasure of chipping his GMK sets out of mashed potato plaster.
