Last update from KONO 10/1:

GMK Firefly
These have shipped from GMK! It will take about a month before they are shipping out to customers. Estimated landing in mid-October, with a possible week or two for customs.

People who wanted R2 - good news!

Kono has acquired Firefly from me and will be running more rounds, same as with GMK Nines.  :thumb:

Hi,
I'm super new to this community (it's been like 2 weeks.) I just saw this keycap set and I fell in love, I was just wondering if it is ever going to come back in stock, and if it does how can I be notified.
Thanks

Kono will rerun this, I am unsure about proxies. Try contacting them for more information, I actually don't know! :)

Typical Kono move. LMAO

It's also up on Mykeyboard.eu. Really odd to see this lack of marketing, when sometimes in the last months it feels like marketing is all that is left of this "hobby". /J

I don’t care about lack of marketing (although it’s definitely weird), but not modernizing the kitting is a big deal

Would have bought this if it had 1.5U supers. What a shame.

This kitting reads to me as "let's barely cover 'standard' layouts but charge them as much as a full set". GMK WOB Cyrllic is running for $10 more and has an enormous base kit comparatively.

A real bummer considering how excited I was to see this run again.

Just received my R2 kits from Kono here in the US. Only one issue found: (De) Accent kit included an unexpected de-accented R3 text "Control" modifier key instead of the de-accented icon (non-stepped) caps lock key. Lovely set!
