What are the white and red bars for?

Just my way of showing the alternative colors offered in those two kits on the graph.

Yes, I mean in the graph.
And it confuses me.

For the Columna, I thought all 3 colors were included in 1 kit of Columna?
And Numeri doesn't have any red keys.

Or are there different kits of Columna and Numeri to be ordered?
I can't see that option with the vendors.

Its just the graph design dvorcol made to show the different colors of the set in the graph.
There are no separate (Extra) column kits / Numeri Kits.

Actually, thanks for catching my mistake!  I added an item at the last minute and it shifted the colored bars down one.

I just corrected the graph.

Not all EU users, I've been using ANSI for over 30 years instead of ISO AZERTY.

More difficult for you since you need those accents etc...But I'm in Belgium and speak Dutch so AZERTY is pointless anyway for me, in the Netherlands they simply use QWERTY, allbeit ISO US International. Might as well use ANSI then.

Mechs&Co seems to have gone away now with their website also locked.
https://reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/14n21mo/63023_update_psa_regarding_mechs_co_and_vendor/

I have no line of communication with them and their employees wont respond.
I dont think they have paid GMK for this set and neither they will pay.

I wish I had better news but atm, it seems chargeback might be the only option to get back your money and probably file a complaint. DO what you think is the best.
THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR MECHS AND CO (at least for now :( )

From the set perspective : Last time I talked to GMK, they said, the set would be produced late Aug/September and all work ranging from color matching to box design has been completed.
I am not sure how they will be handling the mechs and co situation but most other vendors have probably paid their money to GMK. Sadly GMK wont disclose these exact info to anyone :/

Again, I am sorry that I had chose them to be my vendor for the US market. Its very hard to have guessed that things would go south so fast.

I (perhaps like everyone else) don't know what is happening at Mechs & Co at this time, but back then they were great to deal with and always paid their invoice first without any issue.
Our artisans were delivered to Mechs & Co at the end of February.




I hope they will solve their issues and renew operations.

Novelkeys has graciously picked up Mechs & Co’ sets and are offering discounted prices for those who can’t get a refund or charge back. Please read the Reddit post about it

I've noticed some concerns on Discord regarding The Corinthian artisan not shining as depicted in the pictures and displaying a green coloration.

Our keycaps are crafted from genuine bronze, and similar to ancient bronze helmets, they will naturally develop a patina over time:



The keycaps were polished before shipment, as you can see in these images:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=116906.msg3167620#msg3167620
However, due to being stored in a boxes all over the world for over a year during delivery, the patination process may have initiated in some keycaps.

You can easily restore the keycaps to their original luster by using any bronze cleaning solution or giving them a light polish.

(Although patina may be desired by some. I have a bronze age spear and the patina is giving it all the ancient charm)
