I'm interested in a rose gold cable as well! (based in USA). Any hints of what the cable will be like?

Will post pictures here, will take around 5 days. Getting the color right with the screen is pretty hard. I hope the colors we have are going to be matching the Rose Gold on the Set. There are 3 variants coming.

Been awhile since there has been any talk about the Rose Gold cables. Just wanted to ping for an update if possible. Thanks so much!

Would love an update on the matching cable

still will be coming, we are just trying some stuff out and seeing what works

Since Olivia is taking its time a bit we are just waiting it off. We still want to take the GMK Manufacturing tour if possible, need to see what is possible without it upsetting anyone.

Regarding RAMA Works keycaps, they are here now, customers that ordered RAMAWORKS keycaps with us (without the Keycap Set) will get them sent out tomorrow! If you want your keycaps to be sent before the set then just give us a shout

Anyone looking to transfer his/her order? Pls PM me. I can take over for either US or Asia proxy.

Looking for a set as well, as I was tapped out during the group-buy phase.

Any update on this? Looks like the samples were off but that was posted a month ago.

mgsickler · « **Reply #155 on:** Fri, 20 July 2018, 18:31:32 »

We just got word today that GMK received the second batch of samples, and they knew it was off.

So they are sending us a bunch of color chips for Olivia to look at and decide from there.

We will keep you posted from here. We want this set to be everything Olivia intended the set to be. This means making sure the colors are correct.

Thank you! I was just wondering since we didn't have an update since the last samples, that's all. I would definitely rather wait for it to be perfect than a product with regrets!

mgsickler · « **Reply #160 on:** Tue, 31 July 2018, 12:05:46 »

We received some color samples from GMK. It was just a color book that they are able to easily match. Olivia picked out the same colors that I did without even knowing it, so we are ordering those color samples. Once they come in, we will take some updated pictures.

mgsickler · « **Reply #170 on:** Wed, 15 August 2018, 21:02:54 »

Were still waiting for the next round of actual samples, just an update.

Thanks for the update Mike! Hopefully the colors will be spot on.

I wish all the GB's were this intent on matching the intended colors, recently got let down hard my GMK Mint Dolch :|

Missed this GB but would join if I didn't

mgsickler · « **Reply #173 on:** Tue, 28 August 2018, 13:42:12 »

The hopefully final round of samples have just been shipped today. I should receive them in about 2 weeks or less. Once I do, I will send a set over to Olivia for approval.

Thanks for being patient!

New samples just arrived. I think they look pretty great. Here are a couple pictures that I took outside on my deck. I will be shipping these out to Olivia on Tuesday, because of the holiday. If any changes are needed, we will proceed with getting those changes made.

Hi, I'm new here. I really like this set but missed the GB. Can someone let me know how long it takes, on average, to have a R2 on a GMK set? Will there be an IC after shipment of the first round? Thank you.

Novelkeys said he will have some extras for sale when these ship. I'd rely on that first. R2 for this keyset might not be happening for a long while.

The samples have been shipped out to Olivia today.

I have seen some talks on random discord channels, and I just wanted to address some misconceptions that I have seen.

While the GB ended on April 28, 2018, we have only just received our second round of color samples. That was on Friday, August 31, 2018. The first round of samples werent even close to the actual colors that Olivia had picked out (June 12 is when GMK shipped to us). Thats why we requested second samples (June 21). When GMK received their second color samples, they knew the colors werent correct again (July 20). When this happened, GMK sent out a RAL color guide to Olivia and I to find the colors that most matched what Olivia had intended (July 25). We both, unknowingly, picked out the same RAL colors from the book. RAL is the standard in EU to match colors to, and that is why GMK asked us to choose from there. Once we figured out what RAL color worked, we submitted that to GMK (July 26). That takes us up to the present.

Hope that helps clear up some things. We are just as excited as everyone else to get this set made.

Thanks for the concise timeline! Not sure what people were saying on Discord but luckily it doesn't look like anything but excitement has been shared on here! Once the colors are confirmed by Olivia, does the estimated October date still look like it's on schedule?
