Shame we can't buy it in Asia apart from China. Major screw up.

Indeed, it seems like ZFrontier handles only China. Anyway you should consider to order from MyKeyboard or Originative (depending on the shipping costs).

They didn't have permission to sell on English page

The numbers look promising and its possible that every kit might make the MOQ on its own. We wait for the numbers from other vendors to make an update.

Man I know you are not doing anything apart from design, but it sucks that we can't get this kit in rest of Asia/Oceania. A shame, one of my favorite designs.

How is the quality with GMK? I am conflicted on this one, because I love the set, but I only want the lime green mods.

Base kit is priced nicely, wish it just had the mods built into the kit.

Right now I am trying to decide if its worth it to me to have a $330 keyset. (because I also want both novelty sets. )

Let me explain as followed.

I don't know if you have kids but if you have kids you obviously want your kids to have best future or best chances as possible in their live right? So basically you want your kids to go to the best school - so they can get the best education as possible - to get a better chance in live. Simple logic.

Well if you are designer ( or what every your project is) and you spend a lot of time into it with heart and soul then you treat it the same as if its your child. It's literally your baby. Every project you do with passion will become your child. Thus you will want your design (or project) to get best possible implementation (manufacturing).

Now you can figure why most designers do GMK sets.

And ABS vs PBT is a preference. I personally consider most PBT available on the market (and i had quite many pbt sets in my hand) to be inferior to GMK ABS keycaps in quality. Durability != Quality

That is a very well thought out explanation. I definitely can appreciate the time and quality that goes into it. I really like the picture you have painted in my head on these. I think i MAY join this GB tonight. Thanks guys

I bought a Base kit, Toxic mods, Toxic novelties, and three Desolator kits(this is because I want to fill number row and F-row with full of your original novelties like warning signs of Carbon). I will support you to the end so that this project will be a perfect finish.

Santi_go posted recently this on rmk.
https://old.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/f3iwkt/cerakote_avia_conector_for_sets_toxic_or_nighth/

Tho as you can see that cable's sheath is made of paracord, which is not bad, but Santi_go is able to make vintage style cables - which do have rubber sheath and this is what i highly recommend. For best matching i also recommend rubber with glossy surface (Santi_go can do both glossy and matte surface).

His GB thread which is over but you can still make orders just contact him: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=100009.0

Covid times a huge increase in GMK sales in 2019 is creating large delays.

This set is on the wrong end of Olivia++’s 6000 base kits, and sets that ran in October 2019 may not arrive to people until June. I think Q4 2020 is a safe bet. The other thing is GMK’s emails and communications and color matching are also quite delayed, so I sorta interpret radio silence from T0mb3ry, other designers, and store owners as they have no updates to share.

GB is over. Each vendor handles extras differently. OcO sets up preorders while zF sells them after GB fulfillment.

Issue is, I would have bought from zF during gb but it wasn't available on their site, so I mailed them for extras, and said they won't be selling any.

I would honestly pre order from oco at this point if Shipping didn't start at 58$

Originative site shows ETA 7/17/20. It has been pushed back at least twice that I've seen.

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #80 on:** Fri, 03 July 2020, 20:23:23 »

coupla posts up I'd guessed Q4. I still don't have GMK Camping in my hands, and dracula hasn't been color matched, and they closed months ahead of this. Any estimate you get from GMK is just gonna be wrong anyways as they've walked back everything. Nov/Dec seems a reasonable guess right now, or a coupla weeks after Olivia ++ ships.

T0mb3ry · « **Reply #81 on:** Sat, 04 July 2020, 04:53:27 »

Hello everyone.

Like any other company in Germany (guess that counts also for other countries), GMK is slowed down in their processes due to Covid. I got already first samples which and the green color didn't match the DCS Toxic samples. So i ordered new sample and am waiting for it. Once i get proper samples i will definitely post those here.

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #82 on:** Sat, 04 July 2020, 12:54:24 »

Thank you for the update. If you ever get a chance to put GMK Toxic grey next to Carbon grey that would be neat.

This is a custom color iirc. I don't think it's a match for Night Runner.

It's not really yellow nor green. It's in between

You can buy extras already on Originative (check first post in this topic for the link)

The delay is caused by color matching. We ordered a third sample for toxic green. The colors are matched with original DCS Toxic.

This keyset is no longer in the GB phase. What you're seeing there are pre-orders/extras, so they've been priced as such.

Here I'll try. This is within 5-10$ of a pretty standard GB extra price. It's less of an increase from the GB price than many other extras have been recently.

Given the current aftermarket markup, I'd say extras might be a safer bet
