Just need a few more to hit the next price drop on the novelties -- hopefully we make it!

I get the feeling that people will jump on it at the last moment

actually, the novelty set has hit the last price drop if adding the orders from a proxy of China.
i hope it would be another jump in order in last 4 or 6 hours before end

Definitely buy, if you regret it, It should be easy to sell without loss

I just realised I can't batch the Main/Extras/Ergodox set, that's a small bummer - mainly buying the ergodox for that 2x R4 1.5 blanks

Would you be willing to part with the orange R1 blanks by any chance KHAANNN?
Im still considering the Ergodox set aswell, with theses being the only caps I really need.

If you only need the R4 1.5s we could probably arrange something and split costs... =)

Sorry, my paypal is country disabled, otherwise I would happily buy the keys you don't need so we would both be happy, I wanted 2+ 1.5 R4's anyway :( B* paypal

I'm on the edge about the extras too, but I regretted not buying all the extras many times before, so probably not going to repeat that mistake again

Currently debating how to order the sets, It would be nice to order it directly to myself with trays, pay the customs once etc. but since you can't combine drops together, I will probably batch them in US/Shipito, without trays, so they will occupy less space, but potentially become bruised

In for the base set + novelties, still trying to decide on the Ergodox set. Since the different sets are split, I'd love to know if Massdrop will ship them separately as well. This would make a significant difference for international orders since the combined set may push the total declared value beyond certain customs exemptions.

From what I can tell, each "item" is a separate order though, right? So the international shipping option, novelties, ergodox etc are all rolled into that number? Or is that not accurate?

well i decided to get this after all seeing as it will be a long while before the SA is run again and as i am themeing my whole build around carbon its just going to look silly without any other keyset on it. I think i should get by with using the warning signs from the novalties kit for the 1u modifiers even if they are the wrong profile the 2u spacebar is going to need to be a backspace but its really the best that can be done with what is available

They appear to be just the regular orders, so the China's count should be on top of that amount, and yes, it would be the largest GMK order that comes from the keyboard aficionado's market.

So i think we got some Germans here right?

There will be an ISO-DE addon for GMK Carbon. Which will be organized by german community.

You will find its IC thread under following link: https://www.computerbase.de/forum/showthread.php?t=1601148&page=11

Hey T0mb3ry,

so, the ISO-DE Addon for Carbon wont be happening? 

Have you thougt about checking how many orders on Massdrop are going to Germany,
and asking those if they would be interested in a 20 Keys DE Addon?

I'm really excited for this set too, It matches almost all my obsessions around keycaps, Bumped F/J's, 1.75u Control, 1.25u Ctrl, 1u Fn, No windows keycaps - 2x 1.25u blanks and It would cover all of them :) (Mainly because I have 2 separate Fn layers, so a 1.25u "Meta" like keycap would solve that obsession too)

I think 2x blue Bluegaloo blanks near the spacebars could add a Skidata orange/blue like vibe too, Can't wait to try some combinations (Maybe a VA68M, with Carbon Orange Esc/Enter + 2x blue blanks + blue arrows)

I regret not buying 1+ of the novelties :(

Apart from the Cherry logo, they are kind of the first gmk keycaps that I know of that has graphics, would be nice to have 2 sets at least

Ok got some news for you guys.

GMK is very happy how the drop went and as a gift for the community they add missing keys for planck (two 1u row 3 and one 2u row 4) for free to the ergodox kit. So the ergodox will get 3 additional keys without price increase.

I can kind of feel how Planck users that skipped the main sets feel, feeling that you can't gulp

I wish they would throw some 1.25 blanks in there too, for charity, my thumbs need sanded 1.25 blanks :P

Yeah its kinda late since the base set is not available anymore. However you can still mix it with other sets though. Try to get those blanks in cherry profile.

And hey you got your bars already!  :))

Besides GB time, there are 6-8 weeks from schedualing to puting into production after paying to GMK and it would need more time about 1-2weeks for shipment. The estimated shipping time from MD is pretty fast in comparision with last and normal GMK GBs. I even have experienced a gmk gb last for more than one year with little updates. MD will give regular and timely update on MD's GB's discussion.

Maybe a high quality dyesub pbt?

In my perspective, BSPs PBT have high quality in PBTs just as GMK in ABSs. As i know, GMK just do doubleshot in ABS not in PBT in double shot or  sublimation. BSP has stopped do sublimation in PBT due to some  consideration on environmental protection. Other vendors current do sublimation . You would have a try other sublimation on PBT such as sherryton's GB now.
BSP's PBT also have disadvantages such as crooked stems and less lay-out compatibility.

My thoughts also. Was it GMK Hyperfuse that became such a debacle?
