Thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing what this looks like in real life on e-white.

Please do us a favor and check if R2 is messed up before shipping.

Wanted to update when i confirm all vendors are shipping but here we are.

Prototypist are shipping orders from the UK and non-EU regions, EU orders are delayed until Jae sorts out the import fee issue(Orders from EU should not be charged with import fees).
ThicThock is also shipping orders to all regions.
TX keyboards is expecting shipment to their location by next monday.
Other vendors are pending and I will update here when I have the info.

Thank you everyone who joined the GB!

The light blue tint of these keycaps mess with my eyes.

When they are sitting in the GMK box, they look almost blue, but as I move them around the house, they seemingly change colors.

It's a bit of a trip.

Yeah I noticed that as well, it's a really cool effect, especially since I don't think WS1 would have any blue mixed in the plastic? In my warmer lighting office it is the bleach white. But like you say in the trays (guessing shadows cast from the ridges of the trays) it does appear a faint cool blue.

Dope set, wish I bought another one for another incoming e-white board.

All these symptoms indicate that you're describing WS2 allright  ;)

Feels bad man.

Are the specks the issue?  They appear to be casting shadows, so maybe they're removable?  I just opened my base set, and no issues.

It's not a shadow. The black is penetrating from the inside of the key at an angle.  The grey you are seeing is the black behind a thin film of white.

Edit: I have reached out to thick thock a while back and they promised to  replace my affected keys once the rest of the sets have been shipped.  So kudos to them.

This is a simple QC oversight by GMK.  Let's hope this isn't their answer to getting sets out faster.

Agreed! Also hopefully it isn't a super widespread issue with this set. Seems like some people are reporting no bleedthrough on their sets. I emailed TX about it already, will let you guys know what they say when they get back to me!

So TX got back to me & told me that botallu requested anyone with issues to reach out to them on Discord. I have done so & will report back once I hear anything.
