STORY:
I was on vacation last year and walked through a store with my wife and saw a sports bra hanging on clothing rack. I was immediately inspired to make this keyset. I have been working on it for a few months to get everything just right and I really think that this set just works. The moment I got the final color swatches chosen, I immediately knew it was one of my best so far.
FEATURES:
NUB HOMING KEYS

ATTENTION:
I have had some folks mention that they thought this set was just grey and pink. This worried me a little, as this set is very much blue grey. So I have had some comparison renders made up from Janglad, to help you see the difference.

Yay boobs
Picked this one up - it should work well to still be semi masculine and accommodate my few pink artisans! Nice work Dixie/Nike/Adidas/whomever lol

Being as this hasn’t hit production it’s safe to assume this won’t hit the December /January target ?

(Ps-happy new year mdotmaxson. Shoulda told you in the peach blossom thread)
Looking at the recent novelkeys updates, olive closed 2 months before this and still hasn't shipped (supposedly on the 17th), and violet on creme (roughly synchronous with 8008) is due a month later. Pulse was a month later than Olive but arrived to me yesterday. Dots, Handarbeit, vaporwave all closed before 8008 too.
From that number of sets, seems like February? I bet these delays are small vs the glut that dracula, camping, 9009 r3 to Olivia r2 represent...

I believe in the last newsletter, it said that they would receive the set in February.

Hey, I missed this one but I love the set. Will there be extras?

No doubt. Dixie ordered a lot of them. The other vendors probably did as well. But you still need to be fast when they drop.
-
I know I'm late to the party however will GMK 8008 make a debut in 2020? I'm new to the community and hooked! I saw this set and I just have to have it. I'm willing to pay!. . .

We will have a lot of extras sets stocked after the groupbuy orders ship. If you're a part of our insider club, you will be notified of the day and time they will be available.

I post all updates from all projects were involved in at news.dixiemech.com but i thought i'm due for a post here in case theres some folks who didnt know about our update page.
This set had a 17 weeks delivery time from payment, which means it should have arrived in January, but in January GMK gave us a new shipment date (from their warehouse) of the end of Feb. I am still waiting on photos of all the new molds before mass production starts, so i have a feeling it will not even meet that shipping date, even though they havent said that to me. I ask for updates weekly, and sometimes multiple times a week. Seems this set is going to be even further delayed from the first delayed date like all the rest of the sets.
I will keep everyone updated but make sure to check out the news.dixiemech.com each week if you want weekly updates. The link will be in my bio under my photo for quick access.

GMK 8008 IS SHIPPING THIS WEEK!
THEY HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

Yes. 🤘🏼

Cant wait for the extras to be available, the aftermarket price is ridiculous !

regretting my RAMA purchases with this kit... I want it now :'(! but yeah, glad to see them out in the wild
-
Maybe I'm just blind, but I can't find any news on the RAMA artisans? Any news on those?
EDIT: Nevermind.. It still hasn't arrived :(
-
I really loved the concept behind GMK 8008, and I was so excited when it arrived. I appreciate the efforts that went into making this kit, the packaging and the artisans and deskmats being offered. However, this set does not match the renders accurately, and I can't help but feel disappointed. After receiving Vaporwave I was looking forward to another bright and fun set, but the light grey of the alphas is quite a lot darker than the renders, and the pink is not neon at all (I'm especially sad about that), which makes this set more average-looking than it should have been.
If this runs again, I hope the colour-matching will be more accurate.

This was the main reason I immediately sold my kits when they arrived. I won't go as far to say this is a Necro scenario but the set is pretty off from what as advertised in the renders.

The posted photos on Reddit appear lifeless when compared to the vibrance of the renders. I get these are not professionally color corrected photos so I'll continue waiting for my set to compare and contrast.

I would say that "lifeless" is an accurate description of the pink when compared to the renders. I had forgotten what the renders looked like, but looking at my set right now, the pink is nowhere near as vibrant as the pink in the renders. The light gray is a bit dark, too, and has a bit more blue to it (in certain lighting conditions) than the renders.
-
yeah ngl the colors on the alphas and the pink really disappointed me. oh well, it's honestly not as bad as some other sets turned out.
-

Yeah, agreed on the Necro sentiment. I’m gonna give it time so see if I grow to like it, but I might just sell it.

I received my set last week, so my opinion was based on the actual product and what it looked like under different types of light, rather than what Reddit had to offer. If anything, the pictures I’ve seen have made it look less lifeless than it really is...

Going to sell base kit + accent kit together. I haven't decided whether to keep deskmat or sell it.
Selling these with group buy prices. Reply if your interested.
These will be sent from Finland.

RAMA did us a great favor and shipped out the silicone caps that are ready so we can start shipping! We should receive those next week and will ship out ASAP. We would like to apologize about the delay on these caps. We have learned from this first run of these caps in a new material and will be applying changes to our system because of this. Thank you so much for your patience and support of this project.

Any chance this ever comes back? or is anyone selling a full set?

Yesterday the extra's went live on the EU vendor (mykeyboard.eu). I think they are all sold out, but this is only for EU residents.
I haven't seen anything on other vendors but you can subcribe for updates at https://dixiemech.com/gmk8008

We have finally shipped out all the remaining orders that weer waiting on the RAMA Swirl caps!
The only orders left are a handful of address errors that we are having to correct. We may reach out to if we can't get it to verify.
We also have some packages that are packed and ready to go, but cannot be shipped due to countries suspending shipments because of COVID-19. These will be shipped once the countries open back up.
Thank you to everyone for the incredible patience and support on this project. Sign up for our Insider Club to be notified when extras will be available. This is the only place you will be notified before they are posted. https://insider.dixiemech.com
