People were asking for it and here it is. Loads of new bits and pieces since the last rounds, let's see now:

Standard Base
This is yer standard base. Looks good. Covers plenty.

Hiragana Base
New new new! I wanted to do this in R2 but I was told NO! But R3 is the charm. I'm into this a lot.

Novelties
Some extra bits over previous rounds, still got those dpad caps that people put on their boards the wrong way around approximately 50% of the time by my estimation. And aren't the battery capslock caps cuuuute!!?

Addition
The Addition Kit adds support for F13, alternate Caps Locks and 65% column options, HHKB, 660, 60% w/ arrows, 3u spacebars, and more. It's for all those of you who are a bit extra.

Aesthetic
For those who can't get enough of that sweet DMG button colour.

Command
For the Apple lovers.

Macro
For those who like to macrowave their keyboards (disclaimer: under no circumstances should you put your keyboard in a microwave, it will die and it might take you with it).

Obscure
This is for those people who have keyboards about the size of an actual Game Boy and/or reeeeally hate moving their fingers very far at all. See how the lower and raise caps have different colour legends. Don'tcha think that's cute?

International Kit
For the Europeans. Fun fact: I was European until a little while ago. Now I'm just British. I use Colemak though so who cares.

There's also other stuff available that you might consider buying because it's fun and goodness knows we could all use some fun about now. Game Boys were fun weren't they? Remember? Look:

Deskmat
It's like a giant top part of the old faithful DMG! Mad.

HIBI & DMG CNC aluminium artisan keycaps
My gosh look at these things. They're beautiful! I think the little speaker cap with the cut corner might be my favourite new thing about this whole round. I bloody love it. Thanks HIBI!

I hope you all dig the new stuff and those of you who have been waiting patiently are able to dive in on this GB.  Thanks for looking!

DISCLAIMER: This is a GB and the products are estimated to ship in Q4 of 2022. Colour matching is obviously already done (to a real life, non-yellowed Game Boy) so that's good innit.

RENDERS: All by pikku-allu. What a legend.

SMALL APOLOGY: This post is a bit late but this went live just as I've been moving house and had a sick dog and no internet as well as several other real life things I won't bother going into. But hey-ho, let's go!

Please note that this key is using the wrong legend:

(https://i.imgur.com/OPa6XdP.png)

The を kana should be the same size as the わ below it, and larger than the ょ, ゅ, ゃ etc. found on the keys to its left. Small を doesn't exist in Japanese.

The following is the correct legend mold to use, as seen in GMK βeta, GMK Serika 2 etc:

The renderman here, my bad. I've fixed it since. The actual keycaps use the correct legend. Last day to grab the set!

In case you're in the EU (I am not sure what ID is, Idaho...?), Oblo already has extras up for preorder on his site. Omni usually only does extras once they've received them, right? /Johannes
