You should add minimal 40s support to base. You only need:

R2 1.75U Backspace
R3 1.25U Tab
R3 1.5U Enter


Thanks! :thumb:

I will super duper look into this.

Edit: We'll do it

This isn't an IC lol

Kitting is some real "throw darts at a board" energy:

  • the accent minibars, which include 1u
  • the purse caps lock and the mailbox 1.5u backspace
  • forcing alt gr
  • no r3/r4 pg up/pgdn
  • 1u backspace
  • no 40s
  • HHKB bottom row support
  • no 660 support

I have no pretense that any of this will be changed in the two weeks between now and GB starts but figured I'd say it anyways.

You already know my opinion, but here I go:

What I wish for is:
- at least 3key 40s support; at best 4key 40s support
- xt addon; at best with uwu legends

optional, but I personally wouldnt buy:
- nordeuk
- latin
- relegendables
- r5
- accent sb

Already mentioned to you on Discord, but I'll mention it here again for visibility:

Please consider keeping at least the 6.25u and 7u accent spacebars in the base kit instead of removing them completely.

If you consider how long this set will take to ship, that's less than $1 a day to start using it now. Pretty good deal.

It's possible - would probably add cost for everyone. I am not sure there will be any more changes to the novelty kit as is, I can consider it if there is ample demand.

Damn, I was hoping to get the accent spacebars since that's the only kit I don't have from round 1.

I just heard of this IC just recently and looks like I'm too late. I also would like accent spacebars, even if it's just 6.25U and 7U bars.

Before smarta$$es ask why, I like accent spacebars.

Regardless, thank you very much for running Frost Witch again.

Oblotzky never said he's completely stopping with proxying GMK GBs, he's just slowing down until GMK catches up and lead times are more reasonable.

Also Hineybeige GB date was never moved. The first and only announcement made by Hiney stated November because that's when Novelkeys, the lead vendor, was comfortable running it. Nothing to do with Oblotzky.

is their any chance for considering another alphas kit? like mono katakana/hiragana? I think sublegends make the alphas look cluttered and a second alphas kit can let people buy 1 base + alphas and use it on 2 boards

What is the ETA for delivery? Yes, I know this is GMK we are talking about, still an ETA will give confidence.

The only thing you can be confident about with a GMK estimate is that it will be wrong. They have been late on 100% of their sets in the last 2 years. They would need to ship 66 sets tomorrow in order to catch up. At their current average of ~5-6 sets per month, that's a one year delay.

If the current rate of production stays the same, a set finishing today will ship in mid 2025.

If the current rate of production increases by 50%, then a set finishing today will ship in mid 2024.

If the current rate of production increases by 100% (doubles), then a set finishing today will finish in late 2023, which is the current GMK estimate for sets running currently.

You also have to remember that there is no color matching needed for this set. All these ETAS are (mostly) for new sets that need color matching which can take 6-12 months at least. We should be seeing this sooner than later because 1. Gmk is getting new machines from what I have seen on their socials which will make sets a lot faster and 2. it is already color matched and they just need to submit the order to gmk.

Please correct me if im wrong!

It's all speculation, so nobody is 'wrong'. But looking at recent R2 sets, the average delay is ~176 days. By comparison, for R1 sets, the average delay is ~197 days. So we're looking at saving ~3 weeks.

GMK has been posting about adding new machines for over a year. The number of sets that they've been shipping per month has not changed at all over that time (4-7 sets per month, consistently). If I had to guess, I would suspect that most of the new machines are being used to pump out in stock white on black and red samurai sets for Drop.

Again - this is all speculation. But it's speculation based on a consistent track record, as opposed to GMK's estimates which have an accuracy of 0%. Just don't get too hyped up by the "it doesn't need colour matching" line, because all that means is that it's not going to be a blowout like GMK Nord or Dracula, not that it's going to bypass the massively congested queue somehow. The queue is not being held up by colour matching.
