About Grand Tour

More

Inspired from a poster (I love it) that my best friends gave to me for my birthday a couple of years ago.

The poster itself is from NASA/JPL.
The Grand Tour is the route the Voyager 2 spacecraft took to visit all four outer planets. It's a flight plan that's possible every 175 years for the alignment of the outer planets of our solar system.

My friend Alessandro Maranta worked on the novelties design and he made a great job.

Thanks NoPunIn10Did! The credit is yours too, for helping me out with the ergo kit. Let's hope we can break MOQ, so the production will be possible!

Just put in my order! I'm really loving the shade of cream that you picked out for this set. It's so versatile and will complement almost any color board.

Really happy for the collaboration, also this set is going to be super nice on my Ruby red Pizza65

the background of the dark deskmats is a dark purple, not black, correct?

I was going to say "GLWGB" or something until I saw the ergo kit. Those custom legends might just force me to buy a set.

I've organized with David of Candykeys to make a NordeUK kit for european folks. Yes, it will be made. Candykey will guarantee MOQ on this kit.

KogiKashaikunin · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 04 March 2021, 04:42:09 »

Awesome!

Love the set but hadn't thought of buying it until I came across the Norde kit by pure chance on CandyKeys. I think it would help if you had that on your GB landing pages (Reddit/GH) and so forth.
I'm guessing there are a few people that haven't joined cause they don't know about it.

Here is the NordeUK, offered by Candykeys, they priced down by 50% for one week

Good stuff. No brainer to pick up a norde kit at that price.

paysen · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 01 June 2021, 08:19:41 »

Bought base, novelties and nordeuk @Candykeys, they had a few sets left. Great looking keycaps btw

Sadly no Deskmats were remaining, any vendor with some leftovers?

fedemito · « **Reply #34 on:** Wed, 09 June 2021, 05:37:01 »

Hi everyone, samples are ready and kbdfans is shipping them to me.

I'm going to make some pictures when they arrive and compare the colors

DerBonk · « **Reply #35 on:** Wed, 09 June 2021, 07:47:16 »

I hope the colors match! Looking forward to the pictures. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!

Samples are here! Colors are good and approved!
Sirius for reference

Samples are looking good! I’m gonna have to hunt for some Ergo extras, easily one of the coolest I’ve seen.

I will also need a Sirius for reference

Thanks for posting the pictures!

konstantin · « **Reply #40 on:** Sun, 29 August 2021, 14:08:34 »

Really bummed I missed this one! I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for extras.

Update!

Hi everyone, we are close to the final stages of the gb, so this is the state of things right now:

Keycaps:
Basically all the bases have arrived to Kbdfans warehouse, but some kits are still in production. Production is expected to finish on September 13, once they arrive they will start arranging delivery immediately after.
Deskmats:
First round of samples was good about deskmat quality and details, but the colors were off. Currently waiting for secound round of samples, if they are good, production will start immediately after and should not take long. I'll keep you updated on this.
Thok Artisans:
There were some problems about this, qc were not good enough and vendors shipped the caps back to Thok, who's redoing QC and fix the issues. So Saturns are almost delivered to vendors, rockets are still waiting for the fix (some keycaps still have to arrive to Thok).
This should not take long, i'll keep you updated.

Hi everyone, small update on what's going on:

Keycaps:
Kbdfans started shipping the caps to their customers (someone already received it last week) and they are shipping to the vendors
Deskmats:
R2 samples should be here next week or so. Pictures from the manufacturer seems good, i hope they are good irl too so the production can start.
Thok Artisans:
There are still some issues about rockets, me and the vendors are searching for a solution with Thok to solve this asap

I'm going to keep you updated as soon i have more news, thanks!

Hi, thanks for the kind words!
The caps are already done but there are some issues on the finishing of the rockets.
I prefer to wait to provide more details about this till we have a solution about this, but I will share for sure once it's fixed, thanks for understanding.
