Some of the novelties, namely the ring, moped, sunglasses, and perfume, have been modified to be slightly simpler for the sake of manufacturing. While the board renders have not been updated to reflect that, the kit render has. Please refer to the kit render for the final form of these novelties.

I am so in for this. Deskmat too. 2020 uniform colors are on-trend and I am nothing if not trendy af.

Also, I wonder how this might mix and match with GMK Metropolis Alphas - is their legend color relatively close...?

Been waiting for this, glad it's finally happening. Kind of sad with how the kits ended up but I guess it had to be done, going to get in on it next week :) GLWGB!

Update: bought.

Really hoping Novelties get made. At such a great price of $42, I guess that's why MOQ is 150 instead of 100.

Can you post updates on the Artisan collaborations?

Wow these numbers are pretty bad. Is cannonkeys and/or whoever came up with the color way not very good at advertising? I’ve hardly seen anything about it anywhere else, and I remember cannonkeys had the America popsicle set that failed last year. I was totally in for a base kit here.

oops I guess i misremembered the america popsicle kit was run elsewhere

CYSM Caps have concluded. ArtKeys is working on getting me pictures of the protos as we had to have some rework, the raffle should be shortly after. Please keep up to date in their discord to make sure you don't miss it.

As for numbers, I'll be talking to my vendors today about this set and see what we can do about it.

GMK Delta also failed through Canon (sort of). It wasn't even close but they bought out a **** load to make it run. Maybe they'll do the same here. I agree they need more social media presence. Posting/pushing it and using hastags can go a long way especially when it's struggling.

Well, this kinda water under the bridge now, but it didn't help that the original designer backed out and left the vendor to do all of the heavy lifting including creating Geekhack and Reddit posts.


Edit: Talking specifically about GMK Delta. Also, just a correction to the first quoted person. GMK Rocket, the one with the "America popsicle", was not run through Cannon Keys.

Ah my bad. I edited my post to reflect. I didn't know that history, I guess that makes it hard. Although the colors are great I do find the novelties for this one pretty bad, maybe that doesn't help too

The novelties fit the set in name; however, I perceive them as a bit too effeminate for me. 

But I did purchase the base, RAMA, and deskmat. 

...because I like the pretty colors!

The novelties a bit too effeminate... yet you're going to rock the deskmat? And you like the pretty colors?

Trust me... nothing is too effeminate for you. That line has already been crossed. Just accept it.

Base Kit: 210/250
Novelties: 78/150
Spacebars: 74/100

Just confirming, are all of the spacebars in the spacebar kit convex? I'm looking at the render for the spacebar kit, and it seems like the 1.75u doesn't have the same curvature on the sides as the other spacebars, which suggests that the 1.75u isn't convex.

At the moment, they are not. I will be adjusting that post GB if I can. Up until recently, 185C wasn't available. They are now, this was brought to my attention after the GB has started.

It was still open for preorder on Candykeys. I jumped on it, because this will be a great kit for the 60% board I'm making for my girlfriend.

And if I want I can use some of the 1u 40s/ortho mods for my Corne with blank alphas.

Here's hoping the order won't be cancelled.

Edit: After checking I found all Candykeys GB's to be open for pre-order. I just mailed support to let them know.

There is no chance this is in our hands by august. This ran after literally over 9000! kits of Dracula and Olivia ++ which will very likely ship first. I still don’t have camping or crimson cadet from October ‘19. I’d think Q4 is more likely.

Would be cool to see sample caps for color when they arrive though.

GMK Finer Things:

Current ETA: October 2020

2020-06-22: Color samples have been received and approved. We hope that GMK can catch up with manufacturing.This is an optimistic estimate.
2020-03-31: GMK Finer Things is undergoing color matching. We hope to achieve the expected September ship date, but it depends on GMK production speed and timelines.

Looks great! How are the colors in person compared to the renders?

It’s a bit more saturated than the renders. If you have a Tiffany blue box laying around I’d say they’re pretty close.

Not sure if it's because of lights, it looks a lot more like GMK Cyan to me, which worries me....

I bought the sets because its a lighter color that is closer to TU3 color.......

I just got my sets now, and the color is definitely closer to GMK Cyan than render. The box art color is what the render shows, but the actual keycaps is much more saturated, which is nowhere near the box art...

Much more saturated in person and not as light as the renders. But I can tell you if you have a retail Tiffany and Co box around it's pretty close to it. Not a perfect match but it works for me.

ngl the color matching looks looks kinda wack

pics aren't remotely close to the renders

as someone who was maybe considering extras/aftermarket, looks like it's gonna be a pass

Tiffany color is still slightly lighter.

It's a bit disappointing to me that it's nowhere close to the render. Still look nice since I like GMK Cyan, just not what I was expecting...

Any update from the Oceania / Daily Clack region?

It's kinda disappointing hearing how these were off from the anticipated renders.  Shucks..

Just got mine in as well and opened them up right next to my GMK Cyan set on a board next to it and had to do a double take. It is definitely lighter than Cyan by a fair margin but it definitely not as light as in the renders. I don't hate the set but I am definitely not as juiced to put it on a board as I was when I ordered it.

Here’s some shots side by side with GMK Cyan and what the color should have been and was used on GMK Keyboard & Co (The space bar set and accent keys that are shrink wrapped are from GMK Keyboard & Co)

From Originative Co they were the ones who ran GMK Keyboard & Co which I thought this was pretty much going to be but in full Tiff blue. Like I said I don't hate the set (I'm actually typing on it right now) but the color is not what I was expecting and that is a bit of a let down. For me personally as someone who loves the color Teal and Greens/Blues in general I am totally fine with keeping the set as a back up teal set.

Thanks for the pics versus cyan. I definitely like the colour and think it will be a good kit to mix with other shades. In fact the comparisons to tiffany blue sealed it for me. I've got this on the list to catch later - didn't get in on the group buy obviously :(

Just wondering if anyone else's set seems thinner than the usual GMK sets?  On the same keyboard I am seeing the LED shine through a little on some keys on the Finer Things set and I haven't had an issue with other GMK sets (Olivia ++ Light/Dark, Cafe, 8008)

I was really looking forward to copping this set for my gf, but that color matching does leave a little to be desired. Seems much more cyan than the renders.

I totally understand we shouldn't base our decisions on renders, but the real result does seem quite off.

My GMK Minimal and GMK Jamón kits have the same problem.
