What is Zhuyin?
Zhuyin (BoPoMoFo/Mandarin Phonetic Symbols) is the official transliteration system of Taiwan.
Zhuyin utilizes phonetics rather than the romanization of characters (IE: Pinyin).
Although Mainland China uses Pinyin, Zhuyin is still heavy used in Taiwan.
Now there's an age old discussion of which is better, Pinyin vs Zhuyin (the answer is either).

As a friend from Taiwan put it, "it's old school".

___________________________________________________

Benefiting Habitat for Humanity?
Yup, 25% of our portion of proceeds will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
OneCreativeMind and myself have both volunteered for them in the past and we just felt it was a worthy cause.

___________________________________________________

Reason for this kitting?
We wanted these kits to offer great flexibility and compatibility with your extra keys from WOB, BOW, or practically every base kit out there.
The extra tab key allows you to kit out two full boards if using this alongside Minimal or WoB.
The extra 6.25 and 7 unit spacebars allows you to use this as a drop-in alpha kit for ANY set.

Some examples of potentially good matchups: WoB, Minimal, Monochrome, Metaverse, WoB Hiragana Micons, WoB 40s extension, WoB 40s Micons
These are just some examples but ultimately, you can have fun mixing and matching and seeing what you think looks best!

MOQ is set at 250, but I expect with extras we will reach it.

Some vendors not up to date (up to a week old)

Chugging along nicely, with vendor extras, we are very close to MOQ (over 90+% of the way there)

Wait so the 60 57 numbers are not accurate its closer to 200+? I'm confused. If that's the case, that's great news and I can't wait!

60/57 are organic orders.

After including vendor extras, we're practically at MOQ.

Good afternoon from the East Coast of the United States.

Here are the updated numbers that are slightly outdated (a few days)

Black on White: 82
White on Black: 75

With addition of vendor extras, we are literally a few units (less than 5) away from all kits being made.

I really wish such a plain and basic set was readily available. Im afraid with GMKs huge queue we might not get this again for ages

Abhorrent Cell · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 24 February 2020, 12:06:55 »

I had a dream JC Penny was giving this keyset away. I took one of each, but felt like I was stealing. Then after a bunch of crazy dream-antics I woke up to an email that we have 1 week left on this GB. Guess I better buy in for one of each. Dream infiltration is such a great GB promotion technique. Good work!

Thanks!

UPDATE: Bought one of each!

I may have planted a microchip into your brain to control your dreams.

Can't say more or the NSA will make me disappear...

Yeah, I feel a bit meh about metaverse as a whole and I'd prefer to wait for a full WoB set. In no rush anyways, we've got a long wait ahead of us

I too am waiting for Drop to bring back their WOB set, I'm hoping it arrives sometime between now and when this set is fulfilled.

Not to worry, I believe there were a good number of vendor extras. I'm anticipating receiving these soon, so I would expect the vendors should have Zhuyin in stock in the next couple months.
