Update 2/3/2017
[attachimg=6][attachimg=7]
The countdown has begun. Less than 2 days left to jump in on GMK Terminal (http://"https://thekey.company/"). Thanks to everyone who has participated in the buy so far - with so many great keysets out there and many upcoming, we're grateful you included >Terminal_ in your arsenal.
As Terminal's GB phase winds down, we want to begin by apologizing one more time to those who were stoked about the International Essentials Kit. Refunds that have been requested have been processed, and we thank you again for the support!
On to the good stuff. Today we are excited to release the first images of Binge's >Terminal_ artisan giveaways! To remind everyone, every 17th order (and the inaugural order!) of the first 200 base sets will find an amazing surprise artisan from Binge in their shipment! Besides crossing your fingers, you don't need to do anything from here on out if you've already purchased a base kit. Big ups to Binge for all the hard work, his reputation can't be denied - this dude is a badass.
Because of the aforementioned badassery, we thought you'd like to know - we ended up with some extra Bingecaps!
From now until the end of the GB (11:59pm PST 02/07/17), we will be picking 4 random *new* Base kit purchasers and 4 previous already-bought-Base kit peoples (for a total of 8!) to win a limited-edition Bingecap. Whoa.
We will be adding a GB Status page to TKC (http://"https://thekey.company/") next week, so everyone stays in the loop. As always, if you need us: reply to this post, email us at orders@thekey.company (http://"mailto:orders@thekey.company").
Thanks. =)

UPDATE 1/29/2017
Three weeks in, and we again want to start by thanking everyone for supporting TKC and Terminal. What started internally as a “Wouldn’t this be cool?” idea is now reality. Oh yeah, baby.
If you remember in our last update, the N9 Ergodox Kit and Terminal International Essentials Kit were in dire need of a jump start. Out of the gate and halfway through, neither kit looked like it would tip MOQ.
This is one of those good news, bad news situations.
Ergodox peeps…drum roll…you did it! It was a nail-biter for sure, but everyone pulled through magnificently. The N9 Ergodox Kit has tipped. Ergonomic high fives to everyone! We cannot wait to see Dox’s decked out in Terminal, Hydro, Sky Dolch, and whatever other cool combos you fellas come up with.
Ugh, and now the hard part. It truly pains us to announce that the International Essentials Kit is highly unlikely to happen. We will be completely transparent - MOQ is 150, and we are sitting at 22 ordered. We intended to stock the kit for a few future purchases, but we don’t feel confident that the demand is there, now or in the future of this round of Terminal. There is great potential for an affordable barebones GMK international kit to tip, such as Wodan’s layout that we based Terminal’s on. We tried our best but for now, we want to apologize for letting those who wanted the kit down. If you’re one of the 22 who consider this a dealbreaker, please email us (http://mailto:orders@thekey.company) if you’d like to cancel your entire order. We’ll still love you, and we commend you for a valiant effort! For those who do not cancel, we will begin processing refunds for the International Essentials Kit upon the close of the GB 02/07/17.
Phew. Tough part’s over. >Terminal_ is happening, and you’re all awesome. Thanks to everyone for the kind words, criticisms, opinions, nudes, advice, orders, and for being part of this great community.
Order Here (https://thekey.company)
TL;DR:
We thank you for your support.
One week till close of gb.
Essentials orders can be fully refunded, we will not hit MOQ.
Base and Ergo are fully tipped!
UPDATE 1/16/2016
[attachimg=5]
Hello everyone!
First, we want to simply say thanks. All of you give us the warm fuzzies. >Terminal_'s GB got off to a bang, and it's because of your support that this is becoming a reality.
Base hit tier 1 MOQ last Wednesday - we didn't expect to get there so quickly! If we had recorded our respective reactions you'd see pure, unadulterated giddiness. Maybe it was good idea we didn't or you'd have seen 2 grown men squealing like bridesmaids.
The AE spacebar 3-pack is more than halfway to MOQ. We're glad this accent is something people are excited about. Cables are proving popular as well (which isn't a surprise considering 90N1NE's l337 skillz) - don't forget a mousepad and stickers if you feel like further accessorizing!
Queue everyone sitting in a circle Indian style: N9 Ergodox and International Essentials, while not on life support, could use a kick in the pants. A week and a day into the GB, we were hoping for around double where we are at right now with each kit. Tell your friends, tell your parents, tell your cat! We will keep a close eye on both kits, and reassess and update everyone when we get halfway-ish through the buy. Believe that we will do our best to pick up the slack and ensure both kits tip, because that would be freaking swell. Don't forget that the Ergodox kit doesn't just support Terminal, but a whole slew of sexy GMK sets.
That is pretty much it for now. You all are awesome, we mean that. Thanks for believing in >Terminal_ and TKC. =) <3

Estimated to ship in mid-June. Please ask any questions through our website. I will update this post to be more comprehensive tomorrow. Thanks for viewing!
terminal is probably as close as GMK can get to DCS toxic without going to a custom color

To me Toxic has more yellow in it.

Looks great! Super stoked. June can't come soon enough!!!
They just sent an email to all the participants. Basically.. everything is on track.
Yes, indeed, awesome to hear! The email was in my promotions inbox on my gmail account, so look there other people if you didn't see anything pop up. Looking forward to the set :thumb:
I didn't get the email, nor was it in spam.
Here you go:
Hey everyone! Jason (u/M1keHonch0) here. Sorry for the delay in the update; its been a crazy month for Brian (u/unclebrudy) and I. We got news about the production from GMK on Thursday afternoon just as we were preparing the IC for GMK Transformed. If you haven't seen the post on Reddit, click the link and check it out. Let us know what you think!
The Good News: Terminal is set to ship to us at the end of May. The shipment will go to Brian's lab in Los Angeles. I will be flying there from my home town, Detroit, MI, the first weekend in June to help Brian and the interns sort, pack, and ship >Terminal_ to all you fine people! We plan to have all the GB and preorders out by June 5. All of the giveaway caps from Binge are in my possession and the cables will be shipping from 90N1N3 at the end of next week. Mouse pads and stickers are in transit, as well. If you need to update your address please make sure to contact us at orders@thekey.company as soon as possible. After June 1 we will not accept further changes in address.
The Bad News: There isn't any!
Other Things Noteworthy: The TKC-1800 inventory is almost ready to go on sale! We have roughly 3 dozen cases in stock, PCBs are on the way from Leeku in Korea, switches have been ordered. Just waiting on a few final pieces of the puzzle. Expect an update on that in the next few weeks. The TKC1800 will be a very affordable option into the world of badass mechs. We are excited to show you this project in detail, it is unlike anything the community has seen before.
So hold on tight, the Green Goodness that is GMK >Terminal_ will be on its way forthwith! Stay tuned for updates on the TKC-1800 and GMK Transformed.
You forgot the most important part :D

We sent an email to everyone who has singed up to the site or to the mailing list. If you didn't get an email, it was either blocked by your spam filter or you didn't sign up. PM me your order number and I can verify we have the correct address on file so you can receive tracking updates once your set ships.
Shouldn't that be sent to actual GB participants and not the sitewide subs? Just thought that would be logical. I don't think I've signed up to any mailing list.
Anyways I sent the PM as requested!
I got it from just being in the GB. If you use Gmail, did you check your Promotions folder?
I only have 1 inbox, but someone said it landed there for them.
Everything should be shipped by June 5, if all goes well :) I can't wait to see it irl!

I didn't see any scratches on the keys, but this always seems to happen with this size of key 'tray'
I think when it gets shrink wrapped it compresses all the edges, making the middle bow out and then the keys aren't held in place.
My terminal arrived like that too. I should check for scratches when I get back home...

Pretty sure those mini trays are shipped inside the banderole underneath the larger tray. I doubt they're in any serious danger of receiving scratches. When they're in boxes full of bags and being thrown around is when the scratches happen, outside of misc. occurrences.
KBD75 came in and then Terminal came in a few days later! I was at a friend's wedding in Utah so it took til today to put em all together, but I'm quite pleased! This is my first custom build as well as my first GMK set (liking it a lot more than DCS).

If you just had one green that wasn't a match, it might look out of place. However, your full green spectrum looks muy bueno. The hype train will probably be long gone by he time I get my CLS or TX1800 sadly.

Is this normal? It's been like this for 5 days :/
It's possible that they forgot to scan it. It happens from time to time.
Got mine Friday. Lovely set! It should be fun in the future to mix and match this set with others.
