Inspired by charred wood, fire and volcanic rock, the concept for this set is orange alphas that stand out like embers against the grey base color and dark grey modifier legends.

Oh man, it's finally here & thankfully stayed true to the original IC's direction. Such a shame about resin supplies & fulfillment estimates these days, as I'm cursed with the tiring niusance that-is self-respect... 🥲

    GB artisans should follow the normal delivery upon completion, yeah? Is there a shipping estimate for the pair of Asero Homing's yet?! Some on-board renders or other angles of them to get a better sense of color/texture would be wicked helpful, as well.

gud stuf, doe

I don't have a shipping estimate for those at the moment. I will see if I can get some renders.

Good Luck with GB! The set looks nice! I'm definitely going to have to grab both the Hibi and the THOK caps along with any artisan collabs for the set! I see this set as a sister set to GMK Ashes seeing as both take inspiration from the Souls Franchise! :D

Thank you! Big fan of Ashes, you did an amazing job with it. It might pair really well with the THOK cap  ;)

In my experience yes, tho I think it might depend on whether you buy it together with other items from the set so I'd check with your vendor.

I'm really excited to confirm that almost everything will be made! Only the HIBI hasn't reached yet but I don't have final numbers form all vendors so hopefully that makes it too.

I couldn't be happier about the set being made, especially with two base kits, so thank you all so much for the support and for the vendors for helping with extras!

Post by: JPoc on Sat, 29 July 2023, 20:28:37
Yes, unfortunately M&C didn't pay for Cinder. Ashkeebs is the new lead vendor and they've been handling communication with GMK. GMK has stepped in and are trying to figure out what to do for M&C's customers, so I'm waiting to hear about this.

On the bright side, the set has finished production and is actually ahead of schedule, with fulfillment expected for September. So at least the keycaps were successfully made and there shouldn't be any issues with the vendors who paid their invoice.

Post by: JPoc on Mon, 11 September 2023, 12:57:50
Hey, sorry I'm a bit late to update here.

As you probably heard, NovelKeys will be taking over fulfillment of M&C's orders. Only the GMK kits, no deskmats or artisans. Big thanks to them for doing this.

You can find all the info and instructions here (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/16clezy/important_information_regarding_mechs_and_co_gmk/).

Everyone that previously purchased from M&C will be able to get the set at a lower price. NovelKeys will also be selling the rest of the kits as normal preorder and then in stock. I know this is far from ideal for everyone that lost their money with M&C but sadly it's the best solution. I apologize once again for the situation.

And to confirm, the set was finished with no problems and some vendors already got it. Here's some pictures.
