So two were the same because of the oath kit, wanted to be able to basically make 2 full boards with 2 kits. Leaving the caps lock out let us keep the oath kit a little bit lower in price by adding it to the base kit.

Even if kits dont reach MOQ, will remaining quantity be bought out by vendor? Or is GB completely contingent on each one hitting MOQ.

usually we buy out what we can. However, if all vendors combined only hit 10% after 1 week we would rather drop that kit :'(.

Why would this flop? Numbers are looking really good right now and are definitely on track to hit MOQ before the end of the GB.

I am disappointed to see that the runner didn't make an attempt to fix the legend issues (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104194.msg2949109#msg2949109) present in this set before the GB. I will not be joining, but for the people who are, I still hope this will be addressed before the set goes into production.

Hopefully there's a KAT run or something next year that fixes the legends issues...

Sorry about that I tried to fix as much as I can we got the latest kit quotes the day before the the GB,  August and September was a crazy two months for me with personal and family issues I am so sorry I over sighted this! I am curently investigating getting it changed though before production and updating images if I can during the GB. I have noted it for the future runs though

Update: submitted for new renders so will be fixed outside of the oath kit will not have the ~ # added at the R3 slot cause would be an extra key at this point and am very sorry about that

Thanks!

Thats a great pic.
I was looking for a comparison between WS4 and RAL9010 because I wanted to see whether the Bento white would be darker or brighter than this.

Would be nice to get at least *some* updates in here every now and then. Like maybe at least once a year...

Not everyone wants to join yet another keyboard related Discord server just to track a groupbuy.

Got my set today!
Came out absolutely gorgeous looking :D

The blue is slightly less saturated in real life than it looks on the photo.
My studio lighting just made it look super vivid for some reason.
