Ridiculous to be not offering individual spacebars instead of requirnig to buy all... and again, where else is this set available? Can we PLEASE cut it with the bullshit RRPs? Especially when you have a good product like this, insulting the intelligence of your buyers achieves nothing positive.
ferretallicaIf the spacebars were split up, probably none of them would reach GMK's minimum order quantity. You get three in the base kit anyway so I don't see what the issue is really.
ferretallicaI agree with the point of bullshit MSRPs on MD but in this case I think they're just basing it off of MSRP for other GMK sets. And even the MSRP they listed is cheaper than you can buy GMK for anywhere. On oco they go for at least $170 a set.
ferretallicaThe MSRP is the way their site is coded. It's always there, you can cry and complain all you want but no one will care. Get over it. Also as @schoolbus said, if you were to get the base kit elsewhere, have fun paying $170+ for it.
Only thing insulting here is your bullshit, entitled, malformed and misinformed opinion.
Vigrith"the way the site is coded" - if you think not displaying an MSRP for a null or zero value is even remotely difficult, I pray to whatever deity is listening that you never consider a career in anything programming of any kind.
ferretallicaI'll just copy paste my comment from another discussion as if it wasn't easy enough to deduce what I meant from what I wrote then you're clearly not worth my time
"I'd also like to add that the "MSRP" box on the Massdrop website layout is always there, that's how the website is coded, if they just leave it blank people will complain (lol why is it blank? scam), if they repeat themselves and write $199.99 down people will complain (how's this a deal lol fk u MD), if they use it as a probably quite accurate projection of what this would cost to be produced/distributed by someone other than Massdrop people will complain.
Some people really gotta get over this shit."
PS: I just saw that was you people were responding to in that other thread too. LOL. Hardly surprising.
ferretallicaIf you want to be in the minority and to fill your board with only extras kits to save money, then don't complain about paying a couple extra dollars and getting a few extra keycaps. Especially when it's the bundling of those keys into one kit that makes your skipping of the base kit even possible (since single space bars will not hit MOQ).
You are literally complaining about something that is saving you money. lol.
ferretallicaSo what's wrong with the space bar kit then? Everyone who is buying literally any kit is getting some keys that they probably aren't ever going to use. That's just how group buys for multi/non-standard things go.
NickkThe space bars kit lacks a light blue space bar in all of the 6U, 6¼U and 7U sizes. That's the main reason I've avoided going for a Cyrillics and Icon Mods.
gyratusYou are welcome to join next time the interest check i am doing before the drop. In such interest check i do gather feedback from Community in order to provide proper kits which suits the majority. I do it most of the time in a democratic way. For example i do polls. Anyway the colors for Spacebar kit was requested by the majority. All kits are done with great feedback of Community and the given production limitations.
T0mb3ryI didn't even hear about this until just a week or two before it went live. But yeah, apparently I'll need to pay more attention to the forums. Sorry to voice my dissatisfaction now.
I'm really in this for doubleshot Dvorak in Cherry profile. It'd be better that I go for 2×Base and 2×Dvorak/Colemak than to use a good portion of those additional dollars to get an otaku kit.
