are there any updates for the deskmats?

Saw this image on instagram of someone using the Endgame mat. I definitely regret not picking one up!

Not too sure if this is a real mat though as it seems like the mats have not shipped out yet.

[13db]

I signed up because of the mats and keys.  Pretty new to keyboard caps, is there a good chance to be able to pick one of the deskmats up on the secondary market/classifieds section?

Only for the Katakana legends. The other sets are sold out even for pre orders. I accidentally missed this so I’m up for R2.

Yes, re-run is possible for most GB, and the average waiting time will be 2-3 years.

[rinkaan]

Striker is a different tone of blue, and different legends, but similar vibes. I think striker R2 is running soon, maybe u can consider that as alternative

According to the PK Discord server, nothing as of January 25th.

Anyone have any updates on the deskmats? Seems like the US vendors fulfilled them as there’s been a few circulating mechmarket on Reddit the past month and half, but no word from the Canadian vendor (Assuming the same for other regional vendors as well).

Mats for Deskhero just came in last week and he should be shipping soon! According to his discord.

[oew]

Received my Square deskmat and the colors look really washed out compared to the render.

[RaiKami]

According the updates page on PK's website they requested round 3 samples as of 2/12.

[bnj2]

Any updates?

[vheissu]

Any updates?

(02/12) Requested R3 samples

[darthcapn]

Updates on PK website show 4/16 : requested R3 samples, by when is the manufacturing expected to kick in if the samples turn out right this time? And what would the expected eta look like considering the gmk backlog ?

Who do I need to contact for my deskmat?  It’s been so long I don’t remember.  I have yet to receive my mat so I would like to reach out and make sure I didn’t get stiffed.

I log everything I buy in this hobby on Excel. Easy to keep track after years of waiting.
If you forgot which vendor it is, I suggest ctrl+F «masterpiece order» in your email client.

lol I'd suggest going to page 1 and looking at the OP to figure out who you bought from

I just have a "receipt" folder in my email, that I keep all purchase confirmation emails in until i get the item or receive a tracking email.

lol I've been looking every week since Feb, samples are taking forever to be sent. At this rate any new GMK sets moving forward have to be longer than one year wait now.

[Project Keyboard]

Quick Update:

Hey everyone, our R3 samples failed acceptance range.  Our Acceptance range is <2.3 (DeltaEab).  We will be resubmitting for R4 Samples and will keep everyone updated. I have attached screenshots of the results. Please DM me with any additional questions.

[lakeboredom]

Glad you are taking time to get the colors right! Could you post the physical samples? It would be interesting to see their progression.

[oscdawg]

Appreciate the update and your diligence with the color sampling! Well worth the wait to make sure everything looks great!

Is this an already expired group buy or will this start in the future?

Ran quite some time ago.

[lush_bunny]

Well, it's supposed to be a masterpiece. Willing to wait.
Am also interested in photos of the color samples.

[tonyjones]

What's the update on this?

[bnj2]

Q3 2021 and still nothing... This starts to smell very fishy.

They're still color sampling guys, try reading the thread.

LOL! Not even close to "fishy". Clean and pristine. Freshly douched in fact.

[Eoen]

Not really sure what your justification for this statement is. Set is running custom colors and (I think) new molds from GMK. Given all of the delays that they have across every other set that's ran in the past year and a half, this is just the status quo. Unfortunate for sure, but not even remotely close to being able to start making accusations against the runners.

[oscdawg]

Just wanted to say thanks to the OP for constantly giving us color updates. Appreciate the open line of communication

i missed this set but hoping for an r2 or something similar from the op soon

[cricket-alone]

I think this one is going to be really popular for many years

[tonyjones]

I don't know why GMK doesn't just pause until they catch up with all orders instead of allowing vendors to keep placing orders.

if someone came to your house and handed you money every month would you tell them to stop coming?

probably yes when my reputation is at play and I'm literally becoming a meme in the community.

Guys, there is a global shortage on ABS plastic. Case in point: there is a shortage of baby bottles. The bottle that my baby likes has been sold out for 3 months. At this point, she won't even be using a bottle by the time they come back in stock.

This is not some conspiracy at GMK. They want to put keycaps in our hands even more than we want them.

and not delivering (unless you're mito/drop but that's a whole different can of worms). and precisely what I meant by "reputation at play".

sounds like more reasons to put commissions on hold. there's more custom sets still in production queue than the ones that got physically released.
I'm personally ok with that as I have no need of instant gratification from my purchases, but I can't blame or shame people that feel their trust is being abused.

15 minutes ago probably all Oblotzky Industries shop customers got email with clear and nice explanation directly from GMK CEO.

evidence for their reputation actually being damaged in a business sense would be in the form of lower GB numbers which is not happening. So until that happens GMK has 0 to worry about. GMK has 0 reason, obligation, or motivation to not continue to take orders. more orders doesnt slow down their current queue either.

2021, google exists, and you still want to use a plastic baby bottle? Mind boggling 

[tonyjones]

Even with the shortage GMK doesn't care, they will keep accepting orders from Vendor and it will just be backlogged. Money over everything AMIRITE?
