[poolside]

For the Japanese illiterates like myself, what does the character engraved on the Rama keycap mean? Is that Bushido or something else?

[fatboycarney]

Set looks great,amazing work as always and those Salvun caps ...wow!! And the collabs, impressive!

there are lots of different meanings to this, some few notable meanings
- path
- doctrine
- principle

[KBD_Kev]

Just bought the base kit, mat, and cable for my first build!

Is the raffle 1 ticket per person or 1 ticket per order number?

edit: ah just saw ur ig. 1 ticket per base kit. those artisans look amazing, fingers crossed!

[YangYoga]

 
For those who don't know the character on the Rama artisan, I just wanted to let you know how amazing this really is. You could argue that it is one of the most fundamental and important characters of Asian history and philosophy. 
   

The history behind this character is very long and complicated, and there is so much to go into that you could keep reading books about it's meaning for years.   
It originates (maybe) from the Dao De Jing by Lao-Tzu, and represents an interpretation of the dao, the underlying force that controls and orders everything in the physical and energetic universe. You could compare it to what the greeks called Logos, and in India it's known as Dharma. It is the basic idea in daoism, a philosophy and religion with the objective to live in harmony with the dao. 

It's a hugely important character that has shaped and influenced many of the great eastern philosophies we know today, and I was so happy to see it find its way to mechanical keyboard community

Artisan 道
(The very reason I love this set! Also coz of the color scheme...
I live in Japan and my colleagues are going to lose their shi*!... 
In 2021...  But it's definitely worth the wait!)

I'm thinking of getting the stabs too... But shipping from novel keys to Japan just for the stabs is a bit extreme... 

EDIT: Got the stabs too! Paid up the shipping and sitting at home waiting. 

Also how do I get the Artisan Medievals? I'm confused... 

Also, hoping and waiting for CanonKeys to do their next run of Satisfaction 75. 

End game worthy?

Will the Salvun artisans be available on Candykeys anytime soon? Holding off placing the order until they are available.

Do you guys think we'll hit MQO for the switches? I really want them

[SASIN]

Do you guys think we'll hit MQO for the switches? I really want them

I have asked this question along with the odds of the switches still being produced if they are short of the MQO, No answer yet. I guess we will find out in a few short days.

[r4bbl3d4bbl3]

Really only want this if I can get the Dishonor kit too, what are the odds of that kit making MOQ?

[chaosen]

Seems like it will make it for sure. There will be a last day surge as well.

[SASIN]

To those not in the Discord server.
Yesterday the question was asked about the Bushi Switches making MQO, biip replied "Keebwerk confirmed that yes"

[dvorcol]

Nomad will be made.  Not final numbers.  Not including extras.

As someone completely new to the keyboard world and waiting for my GMMK/Holy Pandas, these are the dream caps for me. I absolutely love these. Shame that I just got into it too late. I don't think we'll ever see these again. Maybe some sort of over stock will allow me to find them somewhere.

There’s always extra especially for a set that is designed by biip. The vendors will advertise them once all people who joined the groupbuy has received their keycap set. It will be more expensive than the groupbuy price but it’s still better than buying them from the aftermarket.

Don't worry, vendors bought extras (I'm not allowed to tell you the numbers tho).
These extras will be available for purchase when the vendors receive the kits (so in ~January 2021 [safe ETA])

Sorry I am quite new to this GB thing and I've seen on websites (zfrontier and others) that they are all sold out. If so how can i get the extras and where can I possibly get them.

Thanks!

[andreiborisov]

Check out vendors, usually, there is a way to know about extras beforehand like subscribing to stock notifications or their newsletter depending on the vendor. Keep in mind that extras can be sold quite fast, so some diligence may be required to get one.

You can judge it off whatever you feel like...Doesn't mean your judgement is right though.

Brings back memories of GMK Phantom...A truly amazing keycap set that there was maybe 2 good pics of online. All the rest don't accurately show the set in its glory.

I'm really regretting not getting this set. Hopefully I'll be able to trade another set for it! I was able to trade someone for a base kit, then was able to find the Samurai kit and Dishonored kit for near GB price! Can't wait to get everything in tomorrow!

[cuongcan2020]

Just received mine 

[Lendios]

Mine also just arrived from candykeys! Definitely bluer than expected, but not in a bad way, I think?
I don't think it matches my Ruby jelly epoch I was waiting to build though.
The photos look dumb but this is how it looks. What do people think?

[kidpid]

I got mine. The red is very dependent on lighting. In poor lighting it looks a bit orange, but in direct natural light it looks as it should.
