Joined for base kit + bars, still deciding on what deskmat to get

[involuntarysoul]

did GMK sent physical color samples? color is quite important for a monotone set like this

Yes they were delivered in a suitcase along with one million dollars in unmarked twenties.

>did GMK sent physical color samples?
If you meant "did gmk send"...Prematched colors happened with GMK Moomin (which is amusing, because they looked so little like the renders it displeased many people). For the most part this doesn't happen, hence the sarcastic reply.

If you meant "did GMK get sent"...yeah, I agree, and the sample should be plastic. wouldnt mind seeing it next to RAL 3005 or perestroika either. That said, if the runner has a plastic chip...generally I figure we've seen photos of it, and the absence often but not always indicates it's not there.

AFAIK, they gave GMK the plastic chip they had in a recent keeb meetup, so that should help with the color matching and stuff.

no they were waiting for y'all to teach them how to run a gb

[Adelscott]

No numbers yet? How's the GB doing?

GB numers are good, we are waiting to have all the numbers filled for the dvorcol graph

[sketch3v]

awesome renders

[involuntarysoul]

no they were waiting for y'all to teach them how to run a gb

you should tell that to Nord's runner

[malignant narcissism]

How dare you steal the color red.

[dvorcol]

Edit: revised scale

[iamtragic]

Real impressive numbers - glad to see it's actually happening.

lookin' good! basekit and novelties gonna breeze past MOQ for sure

[Vintage]

Looks good. Wish there were more nice red colorways like this done in PBT.

GL with GB!

[Nukz]

Turned out great, glwgb!

My brother in Christ, how can it turn out great if it hasn't been put into production yet?

It may be that it is the GB, the design or something else that has gone right. Why are people so toxic lol

If they're referring to the set, anyone can buy KRK and make some decent looking renders. Saying that the GB turned out well is also jumping the gun, as there's so much that can go wrong with a GB, it's not as simple as reaching MOQ. And people are toxic because of the internet, and because there was some controversy with the IC of this keyset, and because there's been a whole lotta GBs turning out poorly recently.

I really cannot understand what do you want to show with these replies but, I was just referring to how everything turned out in the end, in general the whole set, colors, arrangement and everything based on the feedback from the IC!

[Shorle]

Thank you so much for trying to support NorDe and even EsFr! <3

My tip / plea for anyone running sets with sublegends wanting to support us EU folk: Please make subs on the special letters like ØÆÅÜÖÄ as well. 
I get not having subs on [];, keys because they are only punctuation but not having subs on common letters looks off. You wouldn't mix latin alphas ("outsiders") and subbed Alphas 20%/80%.

I fear NorEsFrDe support like this is what makes customers shy away and give bad rep towards even trying to give proper support.
That being said maybe I am just minority so GLWGB and I wish for all MOQ to be surpassed.

Wow! I didn't even notice that. That's a deal breaker for me. If there are no sublegends, why do even bother? At first I was trying to verify if the EsFr knitting was compatible with ISO-Latam (which is not) and then I get to realize this.

It's a great set for touch typists. In my case this doesn't work, I change between ISO-Latam and ISO-DE often enough that I have to look now and then at the keyboard.

Hopefully more sets with better localization compatibility will come.

[mr_foggy]

because there's been a whole lotta GBs turning out poorly recently.

it's not recent. vendors have gotten picky in the lasts few months due to the hobby stagnating, but most of the sets shipping now are from 2021, which means most of those were first time "designers" joining the bandwagon during the hobby's peak. it's not GBs turning out poorly, but GBs being doomed from the very start by lack of experience/commitment/color awareness (and vendors picking up every single half assed render and running a GB for it).

either you don't know what sublegend means or you entirely misunderstood why they're there. you're saying you can't effectively type in german because some keys have no rune glyph as a tertiary symbol (and they're meant not to)? wtf lol

Guess we'll know in about 2 years then, if not less.

lol, sorry. I meant the tertiary symbols (the ones triggered by Alt Gr). I got thrown off by the EsFr not being compatible with Latam that I thought the keycaps didn't have them (which they do) and end up saying bs.
I totally misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification.

[uigofermagic]

Good luck with GB! I think this set is going to be amazing on a lot of boards! Loved the Nord theming!

I said this in the IC thread, and I offered to help them pick the runes to go with the Nor keys as well. I don't think I got a response.

[NightFox99]

Any stats on the progression of the ESFR kit ?

[tactilesbad]

numbers?

Are there any photos of the physical colour sample that was given to GMK?

Next number update will be GB final numbers and GB final numbers + extras!

You can find the physical samples that were sent to GMK on our discord server.

Sorry if I miss information.

I'm new guy for mechanical hobby. I decide to join the first GB; however, I want to join discord to get any updates.
One guy did post the invitation which is invalid now. Could anyone help share link again? I'm appreciated.

Thanks.

Why's that ? You don't have the numbers or you don't want to provide it ? As a ESFR kit buyer I would like to know if it'll gonna make it...

WoobEC said that the next number update will answer your question..

I imagine that they're still collecting the numbers from all vendors (especially for extras because vendors may take a while to decide how many extras to order after GB).

The whole point was to know it before the GB ends. Anyway, we'll get our answer soon whether ESFR kit finally made it or not.

Last GB day!
