Interested!

~~My understanding is that GMK's MOQ is 250; 65*4 = 260. This is based off the assumption that colours don't matter as much as legends when it comes to orders.~~

Ignore me, listen to OP below.

Post by: UKKeycaps on Wed, 23 September 2015, 12:17:24: GMK's MOQ is 250 for each key colour. This GB's MOQ will be lower due to UKKeycaps absorbing some of the cost and having some leftover to sell afterwards is fine.

The red Esc looks like it will be replaced with a different key as people don't want it. Depends on voting!

Well, the Red Esc is available from EK, so I imagine people would want something different.

I'm definitely going with Escapes that haven't been offered outside of full kits.

Post by: Prelim on Wed, 23 September 2015, 14:46:44: white on Red also available on Originative.

there are some Esc's people are striving for, even those included on entire GMK sets (like white on Cyan or Purple) which of unfortunately couldn't be bought separately :(
