I'm confused. One of the pictures shows icon mods on the mod keys but the base kit only has text + icon. which one is it gonna be??
Do any of the kits have an MOQ? Or will a certain quantities be made no matter what, to be sold after the pre-order window closes?
2u left shift is not offered?
May i ask why you use "Available for pre-order!" instead of groupbuy?
edit: didn't like my wording ^^ sounded to conspiracy theorist to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just wondering what the reasoning behind including two R2 1.5 Tabs and two R4 2.25 Shifts is? Also, wouldn't it just be cheaper to drop the wonka keys, 1 tab, and 1 shift and include all keys in one set instead of these high MOQ small sets? Was really hoping the blue/gold keys were included in the base set, wouldn't really consider those novelties. Also, what happened to the blue arrow keys?

#1 two R4 2.25 Shift is for 660 layout.
#2 two R2 1.5 Tabs let you have two sets of mods, one regular and another HHK
Most GMK sets do #1. #2 is something new, but really good move IMO.

I get that, but aren't both of those cases for a minority set of users? Why not put those and a few other of the non-standard keys being offered into an "Extras" pack and put the blue/gold keys and spacebars into the base kit?

So sad to see blue arrows cluster gone. Those would look great on a TKL keyboard. Maybe you could've stuff those into novelties kit or something.
Chocolatier is currently over 100 core kits sold! Thanks for the support so far, we are getting closer and closer to the MOQ.

Maybe update the order numbers in your top post?
Why is the price $165 on the store and $140 on here? NAMaybe try novelkeys for NA. In case of zfrontier, they’ve got free shipping over 100$.
I honestly don't understand how sets like Susuwatari can easily get 1000 orders, and this is struggling to even reach MOQ. This is not to say Susuwatari looks bad, because it's a nice set (especially in monochrome), but this is way more unique and interesting. And all of the really interesting stuff have been already stripped away (like blue/yellow arrows cluster) to bring the price down even more.
Anyhow, is there a chance to prolong final order day by at least 10 days more (like it was the case with SP Royalty that in the end succeded)?
Or, maybe start a new GB with more realistically set MOQ (probably 150 units)?
There are a lot of keycap buys going on right now and more in the pipeline, hard to support every one of them.
This is pretty far from MOQ, will it go through anyway or will it be refunded?

Very much true. I don't know what's happening with all these GB's. Past month was the worst possible time to run a GB. New KAT profile, Norbauer Heavy-6, RAMA Koyu, new generation of Zealios, SP Royalty, Matteo's Susuwatari, and then this. I would love to get all of this simultaneously, but I'm not a millionare (yet :) ).QuoteThis is pretty far from MOQ, will it go through anyway or will it be refunded?
I honestly hope this will be prolonged for at least ten days. I need more time to get the money.
These numbers don’t include the extras that proxies are going to purchase. I know that with just the extras that NovelKeys will purchase we are pretty darn close to MOQ.

At what time exactly does the order window close on your website? Is it at the end of the day (e.g. 11:59pm on 11/5) of the noted date or at the beginning (12:01am on 11/5)?
Please give us the option to cancel if novelties doesnt get made!
The base set has no meaning without it imo
Hope novelties reach MOQ. Purchased them, rama golden ticket keycap and core kit of course, a few minutes ago. :)
Three cheers for you Z! Well done mate.In for a core y'all

Do you know by any chance what's the ratio between US vs EU vs Asia customers?
That would be interesting to see. I expect the US customers to be the most numerous ones, but who knows...
9009 R2 might have proxy breakdown.
It needs to be taken with a grain of salt since some folks buy from wherever is cheapest.

China and US orders are roughly the same and account for almost 9 out of 10 orders of each kit.
But more folks could buy/enjoy this if we broke it down into smaller kits and/or went with a different manufacturer.
Quick update:
1. Payments were sent to GMK about two or three weeks ago, and we are should be on track for the estimated shipping date.
2. Today I received blue color samples for the set. We already had the alphas and mods, so this was the last color to lock. All colors are spot on with the specified colors.Show Image(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4916/46347527772_6cb65c252c_o.jpg)Show Image(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4833/45485943005_0c9efccc8c_o.jpg)Show Image(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4820/46398540151_a685ba1237_o.jpg)

Probably in March. Since you are moving, I'd contact the vendor you purchased your set from and ask them if they can update your address.
If anyone is interested in selling their spot Pm me!
Production & sorting of GMK Chocolatier has finished. GMK has shipped the sets today to some of the vendors.

Any idea when extras will go up for sale?
Good, now you can sell your SA set and replace it with the superior German Schokolade

anyone know when enzfrontier start shipping
Received my caps yesterday and got it mounted on my FC660c, the colors definitely improved from the SA run. One of the best executions of a GMK set with custom colors and I can finally give Solarized Dark some rest :)
