Is there anyway the 1.25u delete key could be made into an arrow instead of saying "delete"? That would be a lot more enticing for people that use the hhkb layout.

I have no use for the 1.25, so this wouldn't matter to me, but that seems kinda odd to have only a single symbol only key while the rest are labeled no? That seems like way worse aesthetics to me.

I'm guessing you guys are talking about the 1.5u Del for R2. It's for the HHKB layout which uses "Delete", and the arrow doesn't look good with the other mods. There is no way to make it into an arrow for this set, other than changing our minds. I don't like the arrow, it looks bad with the other keys.

Yeah I meant the 1.5u. I forgot the size. Oh well, it was worth a shot!

There's 1.25u FN in the base kit. Cyan is still a color from the Solarized Palette

Sorry can't seem to find the answer anywhere, are all the space bars in the space bar kit convex? or at least the 2.75u and 2.25u ones?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, at the moment, GMK only makes convex spacebars if greater or equal 6u or less or equal to 2u.

Yep, 1u, 2u, 6u, 6.25u and 7u are convex, otherwise concave

Well, I joined. I think this is the last groupbuy I'm going to participate in for a while (at least that's what I tell myself); I'm in too many concurrent GBs at the moment.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

First time getting a GMK set, or participating in any non-Massdrop group buy for that matter. Incredibly good looking colour scheme hooked me, EU proxy reeled me in. Considered the coloured mods but kept it at a base kit, I need to be at least slightly responsible with my money after all. I'd have considered waiting for Laser but seeing as that's probably running on MD, I'm out. Not going to deal with customs for that.

I have no clue what GMK ABS really feels like, and others' experiences vary too much to really tell me anything, especially how they'll feel for playing Touhou compared to my current nameless cherry profile PBTs (which I do think feel slightly harsh), but at least I can rest easy knowing that if I don't like the feel, there'll probably be several people standing in line to take the set out of my hands.

Here's to a good buy and no delays, cheers.

Its pretty easy to get burned by the Keyclack countdown timer.

When given the end-date of July 12, I assumed the latest a set could be ordered was on July 12 at 23:59 PST.  In actuality, the latest it could have been ordered was July 11 at 23:59 PST with the GB closing at July 12 at 0:00 PST.  Kinda tricky, but its an easy fix!

All the recent keycap GBs I've joined were at the last minute since I was unsure of how much I really like the set, had FOMO, then ended up selling. Had to get this one the moment I saw the renders, glad there wasn't any procrastinating this time.

This was only for the US, so the eu proxy lasted until 23.59 on the 12th.

Anyway, love this set! Ordered a set through the eu proxy and i cant wait to get it.

Same here.  And in fact, same reason.  There's so much coming out, and I could buy them all.  But I shouldn't buy them all.  And things pop up at the last minute.  I waited 'til the last days on SA Carbon, and then dropped it because I found out Nautilus was coming out.  I sent keyclack an e-mail, but haven't heard back yet.  I figure at worse, I can use the money to join another GB.  But of course, because of this, it feels like I have to have this set.

I had some discussion with Jchan about the shipping price issue around 3 days ago on reddit and he said something like he would provide other shipping methods(something like USPS that he's not happy with that)

I have waited until the last minute and also have tried to contact the Asia Proxy owner through Taobao but he didn't respond anything to me.

I would glad if I still have a chance to place my order and can be lower shipping price, I mean even $42 like Oblivion is still acceptable but the truth is even $42 is still very high for shipping a keycap set.

But I love GMK keycaps, that's why I'm willing to pay $42 for shipping(but not $76 tho :'().

To add another opinion, ABS feel quite soft in comparison to PBT. I feel like given a stick of ABS and a stick of PBT, the ABS would bend before breaking, while the PBT would not.

The term you are looking for is brittle and that is also the reason thick double shot pbt caps are hard. Because abs can just stretch when there is thermal stress. PBT cracks.

Largely what I mean by not knowing how it feels is that I do know ABS is a bit softer and feels less 'dry' in general, but my only ABS experience is two sets of garbage-tier stock keycaps (CM and Razer) and one set of ok-tier stock keycaps (Ducky), so I'm very intent on finding out just what makes GMK the bees' knees.

The question I have is, why are you waiting until the last minute to commit to the buy? You are not charged until the buy completes. There is no incentive to wait. Unless you do not know if you will have the money for it until the last minute, I would advise you join group buys sooner than the last day, and you can avoid this conundrum altogether.

Answered above, at least for me.  There's so much coming out that it's preferable for me to wait until the end and make sure that I want it.  Especially if I'm on the edge as far as whether I want to do it or not.  If not, then why even have deadlines.

I'm pretty sure mykeyboard.eu charged me when I ordered (at lowest MOQ pricing, with a note that the price would be adjusted when the final amount of orders and prices was determined.

I'm pretty sure mykeyboard.eu charged me when I ordered (at lowest MOQ pricing, with a note that the price would be adjusted when the final amount of orders and prices was determined.

That happens too.  Keyclack has changed so that isn't the case anymore, which is cool.  I think it's because they're using paypal payment agreements.  Not sure how it works if you don't use paypal.  But I join on Massdrop, and even if I just commit, it shows up on my bank account.  I don't like that.  So I wait to join until the end, or near to it.

11:59PM PST is in like 10.5 hours. I believe the extension was to make the cutoff July 18th PST, so it ends right before midnight PST.

I live in Southeast Asia (Thailand)

I have tried Asia Proxy but the shipping cost is 800 Yuan(around $118) and I don't know why.

Mostly when I ordered something from China the shipping costs are kind of cheap, Just only this time that I found the shipping price issue from the Chinese Store.

Shipping from KeyClack is $76.8 because the only one option that they provided is DHL Express. (But they gonna ship through USPS if you live in the UK)

The last one EU Proxy, they doesn't ship to my country(ship to EU countries only).

I believe If they provided USPS for me the shipping cost would be around $25  :'(

Wanting a mod set, but shipping is even higher than the set's price. It is insane.

Just to shine light on this again, we're choosing DHL for some international countries, as shipping to those countries are really "iffy" when we send things out.

Express services are necessary to make sure that the package goes to your destination. I've had a lot of high value packages lost with USPS First Class International, and am trying my best to avoid them. As we ramp things up, I hope to negotiate better quotas, but shipping is crazy in Los Angeles.

I hope this improves over time, and we also had proxies in place for those high traffic areas such as EU and Asia (Taobao).

I mean...EU Proxy looks fine, but Asia Proxy seems useless to me.

Hard to contact, not accept Paypal, incorrectly calculated shipping price($118 for a keycap set.)

I have waited for 5 days and didn't get any message back from them.

I understood that why you are providing Asia Proxy for us but I have to say that Taobao is not a good platform for the buyers outside China.

If you can make someone else such as Kbdfans be a new Asia proxy that I will be very happy.


So... I have to skip this set anyway then, see you on round 2  :thumb:

Considered the coloured mods but kept it at a base kit, I need to be at least slightly responsible with my money after all.

I have bamboozled myself and ordered the modifier kit anyways during the extension. Whoopsie. Here's to hoping I don't get too giddy for other sets so that I may carry this one around for eternity.

AAAAAAAAAARGH WTF!!! I was checking to see when the eta for this was and discovered that I apparently haven't ordered it!? I'm so annoyed and confused... I don't believe it... been looking forward to it so much.. I don't know what happened, maybe I never checked out my basket or something. My Matrix Abel is waiting for it. It was gonna be SO BEAUTIFUL.

If anyone has ordered two and wants to give me dibs on the spare I'd be most grateful. I'm feeling pretty silly right now.

The only thing I could see me parting with is perhaps the stock modifiers as I did splurge on the coloured kit. Probably not of much use unless someone else only wanted the mods.
