Just pulled the trigger on my first custom by buying PCB, case and switches.

This couldn't have come at a better time. Looks absolutely fantastic - very interested, can't wait for group buy.

GMK straight up needs to expand operations to make keycaps faster! In the world we live in today, it's amazing how many people can buy and sit and wait patiently... :D

GMK needs more factories to increase production numbers! It's my Nightshade and I want it now!

Very true! That's what i find annoying in this hobby tbh. However, it's unfortunate we don't have a choice. That's unless they increase their production team, which is very unlikely.

To be fair, the popularity of mechanical keyboards has exploded in the past couple years. It's probably difficult to keep up with it becoming mainstream.

They bought a new machine to increase production rates, was to be online earlier this year. GMK Andy discussed this on geekhack. To my knowledge it was delayed by Covid. The production times being slow is compounded by the color matching being even slower (see Dracula), and that was limited by logistics for the different colors they needed to try.

Update:

Just so y'all know I am still waiting and we are also getting a quote from JTK as I might switch over to them given the horrible response time from GMK and all. Nothing 100% set in stone but trying to get this moving still, sorry that it has taken so long...

Just want to confirm that I'd also still be interested. GMK is ideal, but tbh I just love the colour scheme of this and will support regardless.

Don't suppose cable will be considered as an option with this?

Not familiar at all on the logistics from vendors, but if JTK is an option then what about something like EPBT? Honest question because I have GMK and EPBT and the quality is surprisingly similar, but I am no GMK snob... :)

Maybe they don't work with 3rd party people? Not sure, but just a thought. *Fingers Crossed for this to happen soon!*

I don't think we'll hear anytime soon. Even title hasn't been updated. I believe this is going to be IFK, but still says GMK. Eitherway i'm still copping this

It will not be ifk, I am just waiting just in case GMK decides to give a last second quote otherwise it will be JTK. Sorry just been busy and waiting on this quote was not fun in the least.

Lesgoooo! GMK IT IS! But like what i said, i'm buying either JTK or GMK or even IFK. This colorway is just too good to pass on, i'm copping deskmat too. <3

If this ends up being GMK i hope Ilumkb will be the vendor, they are usually cheaper compared to other vendors. LOL

I've been following this GB from a few months back, and I have to tell you that I'm pretty much 100% set on buying this set no matter who makes them. I would even say that I'm looking really forward to it if its JTK because I heard they do triple shot ABS. Anyways, idk if my input would matter at all, but I just wanted to say I love this set and I would buy it whether it's GMK or JTK.

While we're enthusiastically waiting for this to move to GB, does anyone have any ideas of well-fitting cable colours? Thinking of ordering a custom one to go with it, but not sure if a black or purple cable would go best with it. Cautious of getting non-matching purple colour, as this one is rather specific!


Apologies if it's the wrong forum for this.

Hi, I recommend going with JTK. I only care about the colorway anyway.  Also this's been so long and people are starting to lose interest....

IMHO I don't think people are losing interest in this set tho. Good keycaps are worth the wait. Patience is a must in groupbuys, esp now production queues are long even with jtk. :D

Update:


Just wanted to let y'all know this keyset is NOT DEAD, and in fact is actually getting back on track to be a GMK set again!!!

More details to come in the future but they are being worked out right now so hold tight. Planning late Q1 or early Q2 2021 GB date so it will still be a little bit of a wait but it will 100% be worth the wait.

Yeah just waiting on renders right now before the next step is announced. As for a NorDe kit, unfortunately that won't be added sorry.  :(
