Need an Expert in Keyboard Keycaps !

GMK basekits include all the standard keys, what you wouldn’t get are novelties, alternate alphas.

 

Here is a photo of the last GMK set that dropped on massdrop (basekit)

$122 by my calculations for the TKL Base($50) + TKL Mods($40) + Full Numpad($32)

Hmm I don't understand the color part....If I want Black Caps and Yellow Fonts which I choose ? Sames goes for Yellow Caps and Black Fonts.

Ah I see, how much will Novelties usually cost ? 
If I'm interested in the drop, do I have to register now ?

With dye-sublimation the legend is always black. The color you are choosing is the caps plastic color.  If you want colored text you need double shot legends. Unfortunately I know of no customizable double shot sets available. 

 

If you wan't a black and yellow theme with the sublimated set you could do something like get yellow base and black mods.

Novelties vary by the size of the kit, there really isn’t anyway to predict this... however the Laser novelty kit is quite unique and rather large, I imagine it could be up to $50.

 

The buys last usually a couple weeks, you can register and join in that time.

 

edit:

Also note that the price of the kits could be much lower, as with a group buy the price goes down depending on the amount who join it... this set will be very popular.

With dyesub caps the legend always has to be darker than the keycap it self to (dye) the legend into the cap, double shot caps mold two different colors into the same cap... normally this cost more and is more labor intensive.

 

Here is a good article on the subject:
