Thanks for looking and thanks to everyone who made this possible, who are too many to list at this point. If you like what I do and wanna keep up on little teasers as well as other keyboard pics, check out my Instagram I've also started a Discord server for people who want an easy way to get pings on the set as the GB progress (i.e. when deskmats go live, cables go live, etc!). This info will obviously make it to reddit/GH/insta but if you want it, it's there!

The shipping fees to Canada are absurd, $51 USD for three kits.

[mgsickler]

The shipping fees to Canada are absurd, $51 USD for three kits.

There are 4 different shipping options available. Fedex includes the duties and taxes in the shipping cost.

USPS First Class International - Generally the cheapest, although they recently had a price hike
USPS Priority International - Usually the most expensive
Fedex Economy - Cheaper for the actual shipping, but also include duties and taxes
Fedex Priority - Very fast shipping, but also includes duties and taxes.

These are actual shipping costs, and are not inflated.

[idkpotato117]

Immediately got mine. I love these colors a ton so excited

[mgsickler]

Already over 55 base kits just on NovelKeys!

Not sure how its 51$usd standard ship to ship keys in NA before taxes... weird.

USPS has raised its international pricing for packages this year, and pretty significantly too. 

Fedex is around $21 for the shipping, but then duties and taxes are added in the cost as well.

[Wongstongs]

I dunno man, for the same volume of kits for GMK Ashes I'm getting $31 USPS shipping (this is definitely higher compared to before the increase). Not sure how your site is calculating $51.

A lot of us prefer USPS over Fedex in Canada. Fedex tends to send us an additional bill after it's delivered, usually $20 for a processing fee.

EDIT: after playing with different kits. There seems to be something wrong with your calculator. If I put alphas + mods in my cart, $21 shipping. Base kit by itself, $21.

However when all three are in the cart it goes to $51. Something is wrong there, ordering them separately is cheaper than together. You might want to check that @mgsickler

[wt1155]

Hey man I have a question, can I know when zfrontier will open the GB for Asia ? so far I only saw that it only open on their China website and not the international website

That’s the price increase of hitting the next pound with weight from USPS. It’s what happens when you go over 4 pounds.

Also, our Fedex includes all import duties and taxes. There are no additional fees to receive the package.

i just dumped so much on future funk knowing this was my next set within a month lol! really looking forward to this set, can’t wait to see how it grows! i’ve always loved the set since the first run and have been watching since this was announced, not about to miss out again.

love to see a daphy artisan as always, definitely in for this set, see you all in two paychecks lol

Any chance of getting some renders with the accent kit?

Personally I'm looking for what accent arrow keys look like on a TKL and what accent spacebars look like on an Alice layout board.

[jh0720]

If I want to get this set for my ergodox, do I purchase the base + extra sugar (ergo)?

[pwade3]

Hey man I have a question, can I know when zfrontier will open the GB for Asia ? so far I only saw that it only open on their China website and not the international website

It is open now! Link in the OP!

Daily clack is also open for orders, for you AUS folks.

Yep yep!

Hey - curious about the artisan raffles (proud R1 owner).  I am going to buy the Boba alphas - would that qualify me for the drawing?

[kolyz]

[Damage]

Will the base kit + 40s kit cover Alice-style layouts?

[abrokencondom]

I was originally only getting base + novelties, but the Boba Alphas + Milk Tea Mods are looking delicious too

Seconding... if it's possible to get renders with the extra toppings (accent spacebars + arrow keys)

[pwade3]

Yes that will qualify you!

I didn't want it dependent on a base purchase because of R1 folks like yourself.

[delet_d]

Hey, When is this expected to ship?

According to novelkeys, november 2020, but that can change easily depending on how many sets gmk needs to produce. For example, for the past few months, gmk has been delaying sets since last fall, there were a bunch of sets in gb.

The smaller spacebar keys in 'extra straws' are convex, right? Or is it just the big ones?

Also, GSK are working on some caps as well, due to the timing their raffle will be separate from the main raffle, since there's plenty of you who have filled out the google form already!

[amnesia0287]

Is there a good breakdown of what’s different in the base kit aside from F13 and the purple Esc? That’s all I’ve noticed, but curious if there is anything else that would be worth noting. I do want an F13 key, but I have 2 (or maybe 3) og base kits already so I’m torn what to do lol. I guess I could probably at least sell one of my old kits at cost.

Definitely need the dark alphas and the new accents/novelties.

I can’t seem to find any diagrams of the kit showing the unit widths of the space bars and such. Does such a thing exist? What are the space bar widths in the 40s kit?

[bakuretsu]

I can’t seem to find any diagrams of the kit showing the unit widths of the space bars and such. Does such a thing exist? What are the space bar widths in the 40s kit?

Comparing the widths of the space bars in the Small Portion kit to the keys above them, I'm pretty sure they are:
(In order from top left to bottom right)
1.25u; 1.75u; 2.25u; 2.75u
1.00u; 1.00u; 2.00u; 2.00u

So the sizes of the space bars in the Extra Straws kit should be:
1.25u; 1.75u; 2.25u; 2.75u
6.00u
6.00u
6.25u
7.00u

Ok. That's more or less what I figured, but I wanted to confirm before ordering. Is a bit difficult to be 100% sure. Thanks!

Hey everyone, updated numbers sent to dvorcol, but good news bad news.

Good news: Base is over 400 kits now! And Extra Toppings has hit MOQ!

Bad news: due to low sales, we have to cancel the ergo kit. You should be receiving an email in the coming days whether you'd like to refund the kit itself or your entire order.

Thanks to everyone who has ordered so far, things still looking good for the other kits!

This is a gorgeous set! I was sorry to see the Ergo (Extra Sugar) cancelled, but certainly understand. I appreciate the attempt. 
Owning 2 'Doxes I understand my opportunity for GMK sets is few and far between (and Colemak to boot when I can get it!). My guess is a lot of Ergodox-EZ buyers aren't necessarily active in this community and don't know these sets are available. (REALLY seems ZSA could grab 20 sets or so for resale anytime these show up!)  And there just isn't enough of the custom Dox variants(Hot Dox, etc) within the custom community to buy these up to MOQ. That being said, Sets like Olivia and 8008 could have offered a Ergodox and certainly would have made it. 
I'll continue to make due with Oblivion and also Dots which just shipped!. (and the butt load of KAT sets in the pipe).

GLAD all the others are getting made. I'm anxious to get a look at this set at a meetup once delivered.
Cheers!

Yeah, I was hopeful for it, but alas. It's definitely hard to get the word out to ergo users it seems, not to mention most seem used enough to uniform profiles like DSA that jumping to GMK is steep for a profile they're not familiar with.

If I still want this kit for my ergodox, is there any kits apart from the base that would help me out with my build? Or would it be a better idea to just combine the taro base with a complete ergo kit from another set?

[nasp]

If I still want this kit for my ergodox, is there any kits apart from the base that would help me out with my build? Or would it be a better idea to just combine the taro base with a complete ergo kit from another set?

The later. The only way to do it with the current kits, would be if you were to buy multiple kits just for a few 1.5u mod keys. You'd have way too many unused keys for the money you are spending for it to make sense. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of other ergo mod kit options either. You could try GMK Oblivion assembly, GMK Lunar, GMK Sixes (not sure when GB will be), GMK N9 assembly (TKC), but I'm not sure how well those will match with Taro, if at all.

Hey everyone, saw some folks talking about Taro in the SKB2 IC so I reached out to PlastikSchnittstelle and he was kind enough to throw together a ton of renders! He used what we thought were the 2 best-fitting case colors that he's offering (grey and yellow).

Sign up for the Novelkeys newsletter and grab extras once they're available. Make sure you're quick about it when they go live, since they'll sell out fast.

Yeah, extras will definitely be the way to go, not to rule out an R3 at some point in the future, but given R2 hasn't shipped and I've got other projects on my plate, R3 isn't something to really consider at the moment.

you can buy extras base sets from daily clack, here: https://dailyclack.com/products/gmk-taro?variant=31649736622135

it comes out to $190 with shipping to the US per base set, assuming your credit card doesn't charge international transaction fees. group buy price was about $120 with shipping. it's a high mark up but it will be far worse when the sets ship and the only place to get them will be r/mechmarket. this set will cost north of $250 on the after market. sets like peaches and cream, 8008, etc are already fetching $300. taro r2 only sold 1200 units with extras, it will be hard to find with all the new people who joined the hobby recently.

Hey guys, sorry this slipped by me!

Unfortunately at the moment, we have no updates re: timing from GMK, but it's safe to assume November is out at this point.

I'll keep you all posted as I hear more.

No Worries, Thanks For The Update

Oh gosh, wish I had been around to see this, one of my favourite drinks too - guessing it's probably way too late to pick-up extras or is there a small chance once manufacturing is done?

We are still awaiting manufacturing/shipping, so there's a chance you'll be able to get in on extras once the sets actually ship!

Oh awesome, fingers crossed, thanks!

[UGunaLOSE]

If I regret missing any sets it was this one... praying for my ability to nab extras

[pwade3]

Hey everyone, just got word from Novelkeys that the sets have shipped from GMK!

So we'll be looking at around late December for the sets to be on their way to you lovely people.

[DuellM]

Great News!! Can't Wait To Get Mine!!

[ogp3]

Can't wait!!! Hopefully I'll be able to snag all the extra kits I foolishly didn't buy during the GB

[killuchen]

GMK sets are taking about 10 months to deliver. i would not expect this to ship earlier than January.

please bring this back for R3!!

[yhs]

please bring this back for R3!!

You can try to grab extras from the vendors once they’re done shipping GB orders

[pwade3]

please bring this back for R3!!

As yhs said, trying to get your hands on extras will be more likely than an R3 happening in the immediate future.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN TARO WILL NEVER RUN AGAIN.

I've just got a number of projects that I'm juggling at the moment, and it's hard to justify putting time towards an R3 of Taro when R2 hasn't even finished shipping yet.

So in other words, yes I have full confidence there will eventually be an R3, but I have 0 sort of timeline at the moment.

The only thing I could guess is January sometime, as we're looking at late Dec for GB orders to go out, and extras don't go up until all GB orders are fulfilled.

I'll be sure to update here once I've got a more concrete date.
