Verifying orders will probably take a couple days, and then invoices will start going out hopefully Monday or Tuesday once I send the list of winners to the makers. I can say that most (maybe all) of the people that said they'd buy multiple caps will be able to do so, and all entrants will be able to purchase something.

RNG is complete. I'll send lists of winners to the makers in the morning, and send out invoices for Artkey, Destroyer, and Fraktal. Every eligible entry will get at least 1 invoice. Everyone who selected "Yes" for Destroyer Caps is getting one of those, and they didn't apply when looking at preferences. A number of people will even receive invoices for 3 different makers!

All invoices other than LazyCaps are out now, and those should be going out tomorrow. Unpaid invoices will be canceled sometime tomorrow and the caps re-raffled (for the ones I sent out ... the other makers might do it sooner), so make sure to check PayPal! I hope everybody enjoys their caps!

I'm happy to participate!

Another brief update. There are a handful of HWS re-raffle invoices going out today. I should be receiving the box of Fraktal Kaps tomorrow and then I will send out all the Artkey/Destroyer/Fraktal wins. Other makers should be doing their fulfillment soon as well.

All collab artisans have been shipped now.

I have a few remaining from unpaid invoices, which are available FCFS. Send me a pm here or on Discord (scud80#9392). There are 4 Destroyer RAWRs ($50+shipping), 1 beige Fraktal Banana ($65+shipping), and 1 gray Fraktal Banana ($65+shipping).

Just got the first round of samples in over the weekend. Here are some pics:

All three colors need to be darker, but to varying degrees. The beige is quite close to the target; the yellow is also close but not as close as the beige. The gray needs to be several shades darker, and maybe a little less blue. Overall though, I'm quite happy with these as a first pass given the trouble some other sets have had with color matching. I expect the beige and yellow to be close enough to greenlight on the next pass, and the gray might need 1-2 extra to get it dialed in (or maybe they'll nail it next time), but I'm very confident now that the final result will be satisfactory. I'll update again when round 2 of the samples arrives.

We just got in new color samples. So far Beige and Yellow are approved. Grey was still too light, but no longer had the blue tint. Working with GMK on getting the third round for grey.

grezeh · « **Reply #65 on:** Tue, 01 June 2021, 16:44:07 »

So probably can expect next update in a ~month?

scud80 · « **Reply #66 on:** Tue, 15 June 2021, 20:21:58 »

My apologies ... I neglected to post an update when the R2 samples came in.

R1 is underneath, R2 to the right.

R1 left, R2 right

R2 left, HWS artisan to the right

Another pic with R2 gray compared with the color chip.

As mentioned, the yellow is all set now, so we just need to get the gray right. I gave them some further guidance on this, namely the closest RAL color, so I'm optimistic that colors will be locked in with one more sample.

Are there any updates?

grezeh · « **Reply #69 on:** Mon, 26 July 2021, 08:16:55 »

I would expect updates in 2-3 month periods considering the situation, so it is a bit early for the next one.

any news about a newer version of gray?

still waiting. most likely 1-2 months

scud80 · « **Reply #72 on:** Wed, 24 November 2021, 19:16:46 »

New gray finally came in at the end of last week. NK forwarded one to me, and we're now finally set on the colormatching. Note to self in the future: pick the closest RAL color to begin with to save lots of time. Turns out matching to a physical object is not particularly easy.

Jerow23 · « **Reply #73 on:** Wed, 16 February 2022, 11:02:11 »

What update you can provide on this GB?

scud80 · « **Reply #74 on:** Wed, 16 February 2022, 12:33:57 »

No new updates. Colors were approved in November, all the other pre-fabrication bits were approved a couple weeks later and we've been in the queue since then. At the mercy of their manufacturing schedule now. Once we get some sort of timeline from them it will be posted here.

Shippeb by Mykeyboard for EU folks! in hands Soon:tm:

scud80 · « **Reply #76 on:** Tue, 29 March 2022, 13:56:49 »

Yeah, we went from no status updates at all to "it's done!" Seems like GMK's new production lines are speeding things up a bit already.

Mykeyboard is basically right next to GMK's facilities so getting stuff to them is much easier than everybody else. I'm not sure if they use air freight for the smaller orders (Oceania, Canada), but the bigger ones will definitely use ocean freight. It will be at least a couple months before the vendors receive those.

Also, if any EU people were interested in extras those are already available on their site.

nvh2092 · « **Reply #77 on:** Tue, 05 April 2022, 13:01:08 »

From EU, received my set today. Pictures took in low light condition but keycaps are good in real life with enough natural light.

scud80 · « **Reply #78 on:** Tue, 05 April 2022, 14:40:11 »

Very interested to hear impressions of the set from the EU folks, since it's gonna be a while before I see the kits in person.

nvh2092 · « **Reply #79 on:** Sat, 09 April 2022, 12:57:44 »

Not the best lighting but colors are very good. The shadow was my arm handling my phone camera.

To clarify on this, NovelKeys only uses air freight for our GMK orders.

We expect to have these hopefully middle to end of April.

Having this set on a board for ~a week or two, i like how unobtrusive the colors are. Even though taking out of the box expected more vivid colors.

mgsickler · « **Reply #84 on:** Tue, 26 April 2022, 13:16:58 »

Sets have arrived to us! We will begin shipping out wednesday.

scud80 · « **Reply #85 on:** Fri, 29 April 2022, 14:48:23 »

Just updated the first post with info for sales of deskpads and extra wire keys, and potential for more matching artisan keycaps.

scoopbb · « **Reply #86 on:** Mon, 02 May 2022, 22:19:32 »

received ergo kit and its not the same as the one in the renders. missing keys. sigh.

render (https://www.scud80.com/images/gmk_mudbeam/kits/renders/Kit_Ergo.jpg)
received kit (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0865/5368/products/Kit_Ergo_1024x1024_2x_a6fdf1e4-a466-4a8f-bdc6-a929fca0268b_799x449.jpg?v=1602221988)

needless to say the extra keys that are missing (really the 2nd 2uC) were kind of the reason i bought this. real bummer.

scud80 · « **Reply #87 on:** Tue, 03 May 2022, 00:30:53 »

hmmm. yes, this was in fact an error. i'll see what can be done to fix. it will be fixed, but i don't know how quickly that can be done since gmk will have to manufacture the keys.

grezeh · « **Reply #88 on:** Tue, 03 May 2022, 12:55:16 »

Just notified mykeyboard.eu too about this (checked the ergo kit, looks same). Luckily not in a hurry: using the rest of the kits at the moment, will need ergo later.

Small amount of Mudbeam extras are now available on NovelKeys.

scud80 · « **Reply #90 on:** Sun, 18 September 2022, 15:56:22 »

GMK Mudbeam deskpads and wire novelties are available to ship now. Deskpads are the typical smooth-surface neoprene 900x400x4mm size with unbranded storage bag. Wire novelties are the same ones from the Novelties kit in the group buy. Both gray on yellow and yellow on gray are available.

Deskpads are $20 shipped in the USA, and novelties are $3 each with $4 flat shipping (free shipping with deskpad). I don't have an ecommerce-enabled site so I'll be manually invoicing through PayPal.

Images are available in the form. Here's the form link!
