[ocm]

GROUP BUY HAS CONCLUDED, EXTRAS AVAILABLE ON NOVELKEYS, OHKEYCAPS, MYKEYBOARD, & KBDFANS

The Lovecraftian elders rise from the depths to bring joys and horrors.... (good news and bad news)

Everyone should have their tracking for Leviathan and for those of you that missed out... The first batch of extras are up on KBDfans with the Novelkeys, MyKeyboard, and OhKeycaps extras following as soon as they get their sets in the mail!

Extras are here: https://kbdfans.com/collections/new-arrival/products/sa-leviathan-keycaps

Now onto the good news! Wei got a Base kit into his photo booth and got some non-****ty factory lighting photos of the set!
These show off the BFR (Calm Depths blue) wayyyyyyy better and really highlights how the VAT green POPS off of that dark, deep grey-blue.

Looks great, hope your set sells very well!

[bciamny]

do you know what the finish will be like on the keys?

[Mekanist]

  Very freaking cool.

[ocm]

do you know what the finish will be like on the keys?

It will be a matte finish, like Maxkey SA Calm Depths and SA Royalty!

[Surefoot]

This looks too good to pass. With ISO support to boot !

[Ahngel]

I wonder I this would look good on a Jane v2

Everything looks good on a Jane v2 tbh... but yeah, especially this

[AlexAtPanc]

Is this GB still alive?

[ranonranonarat]

yeah why not?

[AlexAtPanc]

yeah why not?

Oh.... no reason.

[ocm]

Is this GB still alive?

Yes it is, Alex! Had quite a few sales over the past few days, just waiting on Wei to update my MOQ spreadsheet so I can post updated numbers

[ocm]

One week left! Big MOQ update posted above.

Got some ideas of how to fix that

[HoXiGeN]

I sure hope some MVP user will buy 30 Numpad kits in the coming week 

[ChitownM2]

In for a bunch of kits.  How will kits that don't make MOQ be handled? Will they just be refunded or will we have a chance to edit the entire order?

Interested in knowing this too.

Good questions! In this case, we will be buying up the kits that don't hit MOQ Nothing to worry about on your end.

Great news!

[AlexAtPanc]

Awesome to hear all kits will make it!

Just an FYI to everyone, the Boardwalk PCB will be making a comeback soon. Shensmobile and I plan on running later this year. This GB is the perfect compliment to many of the layouts available on the Boardwalk.

Really looking forward to this one!

I'm still on the fence with the colourway. What case would go well with the caps?

Any of the blue gray options out there would be good or the classic black would work well

I would add dark gray. Have you seen that CA66 renders? Gorgeous!

[Surefoot]

Good news for the ISO and other subsets This set will certainly sell it's gorgeous.

[HOBI3CAT]

So only one of the 5 kits I got has met MOQ so far.... Base. Will the kits like Alts/GK64/Numpad be brought to MOQ by KBDfans? Or if it doesn't meet MOQ does that mean it is just not happening?
Also for the spacebar kits- I  got blue, but if that doesn't make MOQ, I'd switch to green if possible. Could there be an options for this if blue doesn't make MOQ?

Alts, Numpad, and Blue spacebars will likely make it on their own. They are all at under 15 til MOQ and the last few days typically bring in quite a few sales. If they don't we/KBDfans will buy them up to MOQ (same for GK64 kit). Not to worry!

Glad to hear that! Excited to get it in hand

Signed up for this guy, at the last minute here. Looking forward to Kolkrabba (maybe) coming home with me

I can't help but feel like all the drama recently impacted this GB unfortunately. It is a great set

True, OneCreativeMind has a good eye for design and colors. His sets are really gorgeous and this one is quite amazing. Not enough marketing maybe ?

I appreciate the kind words and concern! These numbers are actually really great for a Maxkey Group Buy I am honestly thrilled by the turn out and we have naturally hit MOQ on almost every single kit. The ones I expected to struggle struggled, of course, but I'll happily buy those up to MOQ and reassess my kit breakdown for the next one!

[EOMFD760]

Bought in on this last night, cant wait to try out SA and buy the deskmat. Going to be a toss up if i run this set or gmk terminal.

[mankikami]

Is there any chance this set will be rerun with SP SA? 

[sevenseacat]

Is there any chance this set will be rerun with SP SA? 

I don't see why it would...

[ocm]

Is there any chance this set will be rerun with SP SA? 

Hey Mankikami! I'd say there is a sub 1% chance that this will run through SP, unless I decide to run a DCS, DSS, or DSA version sometime in the future not keen on running the same profile with a different vendor. Don't want one SA version of my set competing with another!

[harlekein]

Nice to see ortho doing well and proving that offered in an attractive package (unlike most GMK sets), it will sell.

[vafan]

Does KBDfans has the extract after the GB?

Nice. Thank you

[Neodeus]

Ugh. I hope there are extras... Apparently I ordered a base set, wanted to add a numpad, but not pay double shipping. I was refunded the base set, ordered a novelties and spacebar, but never ordered the base or numpad again. WOW. That was stupid.

Hey Neodeus! No need to worry, depending on your location, KBDfans, Novelkeys, OhKeycaps, and MyKeyboard all bought extras of those kits! There should be plenty to go around

[Neodeus]

Thank wheeezzzuuusss if someone can post when them extras are up for sale it would be much appreciated. I know the set still isn't done and it will be a bit. Thanks for the info.
