ARTISAN GIVEAWAY!

Caps Simulacra has very generously donated four caps - one of each pompakull, bonerider, geekrilla and geektator in the VoC colorway. I will post pics once I receive them! Every base kit order will be entered to win one of the caps at random. I will ship the caps to the winners myself.

More renders (massive thank you to Janglad, iLouis07, gok, and myself!)















As the renders have some varying shades (mine are too light I think), here's IRL pics of the SA versions of this set (credit to maximm3k and pemap09 on reddit):

[hineybush]

[ARSLOCK]

Really hope we can get every kit to MOQ, especially the purple alphas!

[mgsickler]

Really hope we can get every kit to MOQ, especially the purple alphas!

I really think it will with no problem. And I will buy a lot of the purples alphas if needed to for MOQ.

I'd really like this set, there's just way too many GB's going on that I'm already involved in.  I imagine I'll wait til the last minute, pick up a set of purple alphas and hope to get the base after production.

People are really going to regret sleeping on this set, especially at the base kit at only $115 (Drop nixes the numpad and doesn't go much lower)

[mr scooty]

are all kits for sure being produced? them alphas are super tempting

[mgsickler]

are all kits for sure being produced? them alphas are super tempting

Yes they are.

[hineybush]

hi 3 days left so buy it ty

also on the spacebar kit, the circled keys will now be convex since GMK has added the molds to their collection as said before. We're also adding 2u convex bars to this kit.

Still on track? I can't wait to get this.

Not entirely sure. Possibly will be about a week later. As soon as I hear, I’ll make an update.

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Honestly that it's even in the yard of on time is reassuring

[Lovepig78]

any extras of this set?

[ttom]

next week?

[thanhnd]

I can't wait to get this

[mgsickler]

I have not received any updates from GMK on the shipping of this. I would assume it is slightly delayed. I am now thinking it will ship out to me in early March, but we are not 100% sure. I will update once I receive an update.

[thanhnd]

any update for this?

[jackedhardwarejunkie]

[mgsickler]

Sets have been shipped from GMK. We expect to receive ours by the 27th.

Some proxies have already received theirs! Expect shipping soon.

[Zephyraeon]

Is there info on which vendors bought out the 40s kit? I didn't pick it up in GB and have since been converted... not sure what vendor will have any extras.

[Artemie]

[mgsickler]

International shipments have slowed to a crawl. It does not seem like we will receive the order this week. Tracking still shows that this hasnt made it out of EU. Once we get better updates we will let you know.

[mgsickler]

All kits received. These will ship out on April 3.

correct. we are working on revising the kits however to make it a bit more compatible. if you have any suggestions please post them

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

R1 buyer here. If there’s a base kit (or mod kit but that’s always heinous for pricing) where the alphas are purple text on cream keys I’d cop. Macro or relegendable purples if there’s enough of us?

I second Macros/Relegendables.

[vinhsanity]

Would love Alice support in Base kit for sure. As for other niche stuff, 2nd Y key and if there will be a Spacebars kit again, for two 3u bars to be included (can replace the Alice bars which could get moved to Base kit).

I agree Modifier kits are terribly pricey but if it happens, I would pick it up to pair with the violet alphas I have from R1 (to have 2 full Base kits), but wouldn't mind an all violet Base kit either.

can I just say "work in progress"?  _{pls no hate}

[J3ff_Leopard]

No hate, but an extra key for something that currently doesn't exist is a hard sell. But maybe one day it'll take off like Alice lol
