[GB] GMK Metropolis ( COMPLETE )

[spaztikolon]

Trying or order a cable for my set. Is the red closer to true red or red-orange? If anyone has a Zap cable, I'm trying to decide between solar orange and scarlet red to match the arrows. Thanks for the help!

I compared a TON of paracord and paracord/techflex combinations with each of the pantone chips and the closest match was scarlet red w/o techflex.

[Dwin]

Any updates on the KeyForge artisans?

[AlcoholEnthusiast]

any chance this will ship before thanks giving, thank you for open extra. )

I would think so - Outside of shipping errors, everyone should be receiving soon. I live in the SE and received mine today.

[KeyCap75]

Any word on when keyforge caps will ship?

any word on the keyforge artisans jet?! 

I sent an email to support friday which was promptly replied to saying they were currently in production and expected to ship out in the next couple days!

thanks! great news!

midnight kit is on point

[Kawamashi]

I’m amazed by the color matching. You’ve done such a good job !!!

I got 2 0's! (and no O)
So I got my Klippe built shortly after I received Metropolis, spent yesterday putting it together, and was checking the final look, and found an issue with my R2 row.

I thought "damn, I f'ed up soldering". Then a closer look revealed I received a R4 zero, identical to the one in the extras shrink wrap pack. I checked the tray they came in to make sure I didn't do something stupid, and confirmed I have no O key. Just 2 0's.     Here you can see it next to the same row P key.



So anyone know of any recourse for this? I assume since this was a group buy I'm stuck. But damn, this was GMK. I thought they had a pretty flawless reputation. I'll email Mike from NK in a bit, but I doubt he wants to blow up a $200 set to send me an O key.
I didn't want to leave this just hanging here. Mike from NK shipped me a replacement O the very next day.

This occasionally will happen with GMK. All keycap sets are still sorted by hand, so there can be mistakes. They are very good about fixing any issues though. I got your email and responded. You will definitely get the missing keycap!

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Good reminder for me to open my set and check that I don't have two O's

Got the email reply and the shipping notification Monday am.
Novelkeys customer service just frickin' rocks!

Any plans on re-running this colorway, either in GMK or (preferrably) KAT/KAM? Preferrably because of possible NorDe kit. 😁

There are currently plans to run this in a different profile, but not with a NorDe kit unfortunately. I believe there are still some extras in stock of this run at NovelKeys

Sorry to hear that, the bit without the Norde kit anyway. I really (REALLY!) dig the colors and the icons but without Norde support I won't be able to use it, too old to change, I guess.

Where can I read about the current plans, if I may ask?

Nowhere yet. Nothing has been formally announced, so stay tuned!

Exciting! Hope you're not planning SA. Although I'm sure it would look great!

If we're voting, I'd vote for MT3!

I doubt we're voting, but MT3 would be amazing! Pity it probably wouldn't be doable as PBT would require reverse dye sub (which I don't think the fab can do) or double shot ABS (and MT3 Susuwatari is now almost a year late...). We can dream though

KAT/KAM would be great too!

[Cantello]

KAT/KAM would be great too!

Right, especially as different kits (*cough*, Norde, *cough*) would be way easier. :-D

Exactly! Or ortho. I really missed that in R1...

[msting]

KAT/KAM would be great too!

+1 for either of the above. I have my GMK set covering my Klippe, and would LOVE a KAM or KAT Ergodox set on my Ergodox. In the year I've been in the hobby, gotta say Metropolis and GMK Nines are my favs so far.

[rafamundez]

If anyone doesn't want a base set, I'd gladly buy it

Just found out about this color scheme + GB and sadly I missed out.

Here's to hoping we get another run or at least a DSA profile set of this

[delet_d]

+1 Would love to see KAT with midnight and novelties again! A round 2 would also be great.

[mydens]

i need a round 2 stat!

[delet_d]

Looking at aftermarket prices (I've heard of people paying $450+ for base, signs, and deskmat) and the scarcity of this set, I'm really hoping for a gmk r2. IMO gmk font and cherry profile looks the best with this set.

[jheo]

Hoping for re-run! 😊

Check out GMK Hammerhead which will start this summer, it's not identical but share some similarities.

Mito’s Synthwave M170 from Laser R2 also looks a lot like Metropolis with Midnight mods.

Me too. I should have gone in on this but decided not to since I picked up a R3 9009.

[methbreath69]

Praying for this to be rerun 🙏

[Stev!e]

Please rerun this set

[piit79]

Please rerun this set

...in KAT I'd buy again!

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Everyone else:
Histiocytes: light alphas in r2

[hammerbrotha]

Please rerun this set

...in KAT I'd buy again!

I came here to say the same thing, KAT Please, give me that PBT goodness!

[sagarsiddhpura]

Any news on rerun? I saw the insta post

[hottrout]

[Darthbaggins]

Definitely down for a R2 of this set (prefer to buy this over the Chinese knock-off sets I've found).  Also would be down for an MT3 profiled set, the more I've seen this set on boards - the more I want it.

[irohasu]

Hoping this to have a r2. I've joined the keycaps rabbithole too late to join the r1 :<
