All the trackings have been sent out.
A major number of the tracking numbers have not been updated (pending). Our USPS pickup person has left USPS, so today, we'll be taking these to USPS. You will see it move tomorrow.

If you're waiting for a replacement keycap, you will get the tracking today after I finalize the list. You'll get tracking via email on file. If you've changed addresses since then, please notify support@keyclack.com . I will be holding the replacement keycap shipments for a day before dropping them off at USPS.

What happened to the text only modifiers? (like the ones in Oblivion (https://www.keyclack.com/groupbuy/gmkOblivionR1))
Were they rejected by the designer's preference or is there a wider, community preference for GMK's standard legends?
I'm not such a fan of the standard GMK text+icon, I much prefer the text only or icons only when there is something like Cyrillic. Perhaps I am in the minority?
Hi all,
I ordered the base and ergodox kit last night, but the keyclack website did not send me to paypal to authorize the payment. When I ordered GMK oblivion from keyclack, I was sent to the paypal site while placing my order to pre-authorize the charges. Did I do something wrong on the Solarized order? Or should I just expect to need to authorize the paypal charges once the GB is done? Just a bit confused as the payment process seems to be different between oblivion and solarized.
Thanks for any help
Hi all,I ordered just fine last night and was taken to PayPal... I believe keyclack allows you to pay by CC, maybe that's what happened? @😂@

Do the asian and european proxies have separate MOQ's or are they all in the same Keyclack MOQ?
Also, will the main Keyclack group buy page order quantities be updated with orders through proxies?

I believe you authorized PayPal in connection to your KeyClack account of sorts. I changed (canceled and reordered) my order for the SKOG TKL like 5 times, couldn't decide on colors, and I was never asked to authorize again after the initial order.
...brought up in the IC, were they?
...poll ... at 60% for text only IIRC
The three of us have discussed this and agreed to use icon+text mods.
Also, will the main Keyclack group buy page order quantities be updated with orders through proxies?
If I remember correctly they will all be added together in the end, but we'll be giving updates to the community while the group buy is active.
MyKeyboard say this on the buy page (https://mykeyboard.eu/catalogue/solarized-dark-base-kit_232/): "When completing your order for a kit, we will charge your PayPal account immediately. At the end of the group buy, we will send you an invoice with the final pricing and refund the difference. We are currently not able to authenticate future payments."
Do the asian and european proxies have separate MOQ's or are they all in the same Keyclack MOQ?
I'm not privy to the exact agreements between them, but as I understand it the proxies' orders will be added to the total in the end, and all of them will be counted as one order so even if one proxy has eg. 30 orders and the other two combine for 220, that means MOQ is reached.Also, will the main Keyclack group buy page order quantities be updated with orders through proxies?

For Oblivion, #1 MOQ was dictated by combining the numbers, so 150 US and 100 Asian orders would meet GMK's MOQ of 250. Regarding #2, the asian numbers were not added to KeyClack's page at the end. #2 might be different of course for this GB.
FYI: Coloured mods will include stepped Caps Lock and Ctrl
So let's say I just discovered this and am too lazy to research.
In the renders the mods with the colored legends look dark gray, but the GMK render shows it as more green. Are the mods greenish or grayish?

Color hex value is http://www.color-hex.com/color/00232c according to GMK image
You can see from the RGB values is has a strong green component:R : 00
Would a full screen of the single color help to see it better?

...brought up in the IC, were they?
It was, but I admit I scratched my head for a bit wondering if I had just conflated the Solarized discussion with the Oblivion discussion. I had to go back and read from the start, but it is on the IC thread, from the first page (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87677.msg2364867#msg2364867)....poll ... at 60% for text only IIRC
A closer split than I would've predicted, it seemed like enthusiasm was really high for the text only. Useful tidbit of information anyway for future designs :)The three of us have discussed this and agreed to use icon+text mods.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was sure Solarized was going to be text only, but probably it was the Oblivion discussion that made me think it was certain.Also, will the main Keyclack group buy page order quantities be updated with orders through proxies?

Can we take this as confirmation the proxies will be getting the price break benefits when/if the quantities are met?
Once you get authorized, you sign a billing agreement with us basically, and you're good to go from there.
...If you choose to order through a proxy, the price is honored, according to the break...
Once you get authorized, you sign a billing agreement with us basically, and you're good to go from there.
Sorry, just want to clarify this. Are you saying the paypal authorization I did for GMK oblivion resulted in this billing agreement, which is why I didn't need to authorize the solarized dark order?

Not crazy about the colors in the GMK render. I prefer the bluer/grayer tones of the other renders. On top of that, the color hex sample looks like something in-between the two. I'm rather confused about what this will actually look like.

Have you seen what a GMK render of CMYK looks like for example?Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170629/8c6accc351dd5e5f8a64870103bf117d.jpg)
These colors are not even remotely accurate on my calibrated oled display or my iPad Pro. I feel like if that looks accurate to you your display is calibrated way way off. Like you must be massively ramping color/contrast.

To my eyes the GMK renders are ALWAYS less accurate.
For hydro the blues are undersaturated. The gray is oversaturated.
My best guess is GMK is rendering the images in something other than normal RGB/YUV. An extended color space or something, and then not doing a good converstion. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were some way to filter the GMK renders to make them all accurate (with the same filter) because to me, they all seem flawed in the same way.
Interesting lighting you are choosing there.
Interesting lighting you are choosing there.
Do you have examples that are different? If I'm wrong I'd love to be corrected. I just googled photos. I don't own plum and my hydro hasn't shown up yet.
Your response makes it out like you think I'm trying to win an argument. Just to be clear... I am not.
I could care less which one of us is correct. I just have seen nothing that would lead me to trust the GMK renders. If I'm lacking information, I'd love to know. Rather than just saying it's wrong, I'd love to know what specifically you think is wrong. Which render. What is wrong with the render? Etc.
I'm not trying to invalidate your opinion, just understand where it comes from.

You're nuts if you think gmk renders are more accurate than thesiscampers. Nuts I tell ya! But yes, sets will not look exactly like the renders because many sets today is custom colors (hydro, plum, etc) which aren't going to be reproduced with 100% accuracy.
if it ends up looking like the GMK render, I'm not interested at all, but, if it looks like ThesisCamper's renders, then it's awesome and I want it.Hopefully GMK Skeletor renders should clear your mind.

Disagree. The lighting in that actual picture is horrible and does not allow for accurate representation. The white balance is way off. Sekeletor uses standard yu2 and DY which more closely resemble the non gmk render. That render is a little "bright" but still more accurate.
I hope we can steer away from the render accuracy...

Agreed, maybe I can ask a couple of questions and request an update:
- Are any of the sets looking like meeting a price break when the proxy numbers are added?
- I'm curious about the HJKL keys with cursor legends, are those specifically for 40% boards, or are they for some other layouts?
- I've just noticed the standard modifier color cursor keys are all row 4, yet the accent set appears to have the up arrow on row 3? is that just an error on the layout drawing or is that actually how it will be produced?

I don't think I saw a follow-up to this -- did the extra key requests get resolved or is that still pending? I had requested a R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn for 65% near the end of the IC thread.

Maybe the layout is incorrect, but it looks like the only 65% right side column they're supporting for 65% is DEL/HOME, PGUP, PGDN, END since the only R3 key is PGDN and the only R4 key is END.
Don't know what the other R1 PGDN(a 96% keyboard), R1 END (an 1800 keyboard?), and duplicate R1 HOME keys are for.
It's not easy to add keys after the pricing has been released and the GB has started. That's why there was an IC. We try to support the most popular layouts, but can't support each and every personal preference people have on how they arrange their keys.
The duplicate is not intentional, but the R3 home and any other additional keys will have to be discussed with jchan, since we can't just raise the prices.It's not easy to add keys after the pricing has been released and the GB has started.

So having 2 R1 Home and no R3 Home is intentional? Does changing the row actually effect pricing? I don't see why that key WOULDN'T be converted to R3 unless there is some keyboard with double home keys that I'm not aware of.
Regarding the duplicate R1 Home and the R3 Up arrow...Thanks for the update. I really wasn't sure if I was unaware of a layout the arrow was part of, so I am grateful for the clarification :)

I'm hoping the manufactured article tends toward the greener and lighter overall ...
The three of us all agreed to make it as close to my latest renders as possible.
Since I can't get a response from jchan, why isn't there a 1.25u fn key? This is pretty standard
Since I can't get a response from jchan, why isn't there a 1.25u fn key? This is pretty standard
Actually, designers frequently opt for a menu key over a 1.25 fn key with Gmk sets. Honeywell, muted, this set, pnumbra, Miami, Miami nights, sky dolch, cyan, mint chocolate, ocean dolch just to name a few recent sets.....Honeywell had code buttons in addition to windows, so I just used a 1.25u 'code' button as fn. This set just has shebang (no code or windows)

I must admit this makes me a little uneasy, given the colors are specified precisely by the values stated. I anticipated the end result being somewhere between the renders with just a little deviation from the color values (because GMK aren't likely to 100% matched.) A lot of people love the render, so it won't be the end of the world to sell the set unused, anyone who is disappointed should easily find a buyer.
That the designers prefer the slightly darker/grayer over the lighter/greener is fine in itself. What I wish is that your intentions were clearer, especially on the product pages - it's the ambiguity that's the problem here, not the final choice you made.

I understand your concern, and here's why we decided to change it: the solarized theme looked good on screens, but we felt the contrast between the mods and the alphas was lacking in caps. If you can find the earliest renders, there's almost no point in using different colors when they're almost indistinguishable from each other. For the most recent renders, I tried to introduce more contrast into the set, and the three of us liked it and it got good feedback, so we went with it. As for the color codes, it was a mistake on our part that we weren't clear enough, I just assumed everyone was in sync but we weren't.
For the mistake in keys, it's mostly misunderstanding again. I apologize on behalf of my friends, but we're trying to fix it but decided not ask for an updated GMK renders until we're sure we have the keys locked. The KLE is the most updated one.

hi everyone,
Just to clarify some things about the color codes: yes, they are hex color codes. however, we have to match them to pantone in order to review them thoroughly and make sure they are accurate.
Hex codes vary a lot between screen and screen, IPS..TN panels... 8bit...10 bit, etc, but we'll make sure to lock down the pantones and that will be a process we'll undergo with GMK as we commence with the color matching.
Hope that's good for everyone, cheers.
Is there anyway the 1.25u delete key could be made into an arrow instead of saying "delete"? That would be a lot more enticing for people that use the hhkb layout.

I have no use for the 1.25, so this wouldn't matter to me, but that seems kinda odd to have only a single symbol only key while the rest are labeled no? That seems like way worse aesthetics to me.

I'm guessing you guys are talking about the 1.5u Del for R2. It's for the HHKB layout which uses "Delete", and the arrow doesn't look good with the other mods. There is no way to make it into an arrow for this set, other than changing our minds. I don't like the arrow, it looks bad with the other keys.
Could it be possible to add colored 1.25U FN?
Sorry can't seem to find the answer anywhere, are all the space bars in the space bar kit convex? or at least the 2.75u and 2.25u ones?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, at the moment, GMK only makes convex spacebars if greater or equal 6u or less or equal to 2u.Sorry can't seem to find the answer anywhere, are all the space bars in the space bar kit convex? or at least the 2.75u and 2.25u ones?

Oh wow I hadn't even noticed that. Good thing I ended up joining 'a day early' out of vague paranoia.
Its pretty easy to get burned by the Keyclack countdown timer.
When given the end-date of July 12, I assumed the latest a set could be ordered was on July 12 at 23:59 PST. In actuality, the latest it could have been ordered was July 11 at 23:59 PST with the GB closing at July 12 at 0:00 PST. Kinda tricky, but its an easy fix!
All the recent keycap GBs I've joined were at the last minute since I was unsure of how much I really like the set, had FOMO, then ended up selling. Had to get this one the moment I saw the renders, glad there wasn't any procrastinating this time.
I had to skipped this set because of the crazy shipping prices, What a joke...

All the recent keycap GBs I've joined were at the last minute since I was unsure of how much I really like the set, had FOMO, then ended up selling. Had to get this one the moment I saw the renders, glad there wasn't any procrastinating this time.
I have no clue what GMK ABS really feels like, and others' experiences vary too much to really tell me anything, especially how they'll feel for playing Touhou compared to my current nameless cherry profile PBTs (which I do think feel slightly harsh)
I had to skipped this set because of the crazy shipping prices, What a joke...
I would try and send jchan a PM about placing an order
I had some discussion with Jchan about the shipping price issue around 3 days ago on reddit and he said something like he would provide other shipping methods(something like USPS that he's not happy with that)
I have waited until the last minute and also have tried to contact the Asia Proxy owner through Taobao but he didn't respond anything to me.
I would glad if I still have a chance to place my order and can be lower shipping price, I mean even $42 like Oblivion is still acceptable but the truth is even $42 is still very high for shipping a keycap set.
But I love GMK keycaps, that's why I'm willing to pay $42 for shipping(but not $76 tho :'().

To add another opinion, ABS feel quite soft in comparison to PBT. I feel like given a stick of ABS and a stick of PBT, the ABS would bend before breaking, while the PBT would not.

The question I have is, why are you waiting until the last minute to commit to the buy? You are not charged until the buy completes. There is no incentive to wait. Unless you do not know if you will have the money for it until the last minute, I would advise you join group buys sooner than the last day, and you can avoid this conundrum altogether.

I'm pretty sure mykeyboard.eu charged me when I ordered (at lowest MOQ pricing, with a note that the price would be adjusted when the final amount of orders and prices was determined.

11:59PM PST is in like 10.5 hours. I believe the extension was to make the cutoff July 18th PST, so it ends right before midnight PST.
Just to shine light on this again, we're choosing DHL for some international countries, as shipping to those countries are really "iffy" when we send things out.
Express services are necessary to make sure that the package goes to your destination. I've had a lot of high value packages lost with USPS First Class International, and am trying my best to avoid them. As we ramp things up, I hope to negotiate better quotas, but shipping is crazy in Los Angeles.
I hope this improves over time, and we also had proxies in place for those high traffic areas such as EU and Asia (Taobao).
Considered the coloured mods but kept it at a base kit, I need to be at least slightly responsible with my money after all.
samples? Way too early for samples.

Any updates for this set jchan?
How is it working with shipping? Will GMK send out partial order to mykeyboard or will everything go to keyclack and then back to europe again? I'd assume the former.
Maybe his white balance is just off, but those look way too blue and the legend color looks green. Not what I was expecting.
Hey guys, yesterday I've sent an email to GMK inquiring of the status of production. Still waiting for their reply.
Is it possible to withdraw due to the delay? Thinking of getting the Oblivion set from your site, instead.

email support@keyclack.com ;
Regarding the change: it was a recent change, after reviewing the colors again. Just want to make sure it's done right, as I personally feel that the legend color can be fixed up a little.
I'm sure we'll all be satisfied with the result.

Is there any kind of timeline? If samples are approved, how long is delay? Are we looking at january?
Any update yet?
So if production hasn't started are we still 16 weeks away whenever samples are approved?

I’d like to know this too. I haven’t received any emails from the vendor about the delay yet which is quite disappointing considering it was supposed to be shipping around this time.

All I ordered was the TU2 spacebars.
Hope that doesn't get tweaked to a different shade along with the legends.

We never discussed changing the grey, this was jchan's own opinion but something that wasn't decided on by rainb1ood, gatix and me. It stays the same. The colors that we decided to ask new samples for are the mod base and alpha base colors. As for the time it will take we have no idea, we haven't received the new samples, GMK didn't give a tracking number, and we have no idea when the samples will arrive.
Update: GMK sent us an email this morning, they have sent another sample as the last one may have been lost in the mail. This time its via UPS and should arrive by December 27

Might be a little too late to ask but will the dark modifier set come with a green legend 1u R4 Fn key? I'm planning on doing the hhkb layout but using the coloured legends. Cheers!

Why did you have to point this out. every single board I have uses a split right shift >_<. sadness.
now i almost wish id gotten an ergodox just for a blank. wonder how hard it would be to run a GB just for that key lol.

Could you not just use the R4 Fn key from the base kit? All legends from the mod kit have different colors anyway, so the cyan would just be another different legend color.
Here are the chosen colors:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/OErKpDu.jpg)
Here's the reference mock-up:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/1lDhU0e.jpg)
We chose the old alpha legend color, as the new sample is virtually white and wasn't really requested by rainb1ood, gatix and me.
The new alpha base color looks too dark in the photos, but it's really hard to capture the color. It is very close to the mock-ups I did, at least the way I see it in my monitor (Dell IPS).
lol you're barely gonna notice the off color fn key. just use the tu2 cap :D

The colored mods were a relatively late addition, and we tried to keep the kit as small as possible. If there were enough requests we would've added it. It is unfortunate that this one key leaves you disappointed. We hope you will change your mind when you receive the kits, or at least be able to pass it on to someone who likes if you're still unhappy.
Why oh why did I only recently find this group buy. Watching these threads is like sweet torture. I really hope that someone has a few extra sets ordered. My collection won't be complete without this set!

will you get the EU batch directly from GMK, or will it detour via US? (here's hoping EU won't be the last to receive a gb set for once) ;)

GMK ships to proxies directly.
Any updates? Is it in production?
They (GMK) should be finishing up sorting and quality control this week and waiting for banderole to finish as well
Is it possible for GMK to share some pics before they ship them out to you or proxies?
Hi everyone,
Just an update. I got an email about everything being sorted, requested some photos, and they say they're waiting on the banderoles which should be done this or next week.
Cheers

Never would have figured that one out, thanks rain.
that word is not even commonly used here in germany... maybe the technical term of choice
They're not referring to the plastic trays, they're referring to the cardboard wrap that goes around them.that word is not even commonly used here in germany... maybe the technical term of choice
true... it exists, and if it's used, it's usually in descriptive / educational terms, but never in common tongue
also, it's meaning is a paper-tape (like the one coin stacks are wrapped up in), but not plastic trays with compartments. Dunno what GMK was thinking when they came up with that ;)

As do the alphas. Will be hard to judge I think until we get it in hand. Although, I'm anticipating it will be a bit lighter than originally thought.Leaks from Instagram

In my opinion, the first photo looks a tad over-exposed.
I think GMK is sending out very overexposed pictures. I'm also in the GMK Led Zep GB and we are having the same issue with the pictures they released of that set. If you want you can see them at this link: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91314.0 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91314.0). I really really hope both sets are really over exposed though...
They shipped to us on Friday so most likely to Keyclack as well :-)

My personal thoughts:
Legends are lighter than on the renders. Mods are darker than the renders but in person the set still stands. But it matches the color samples for as far as I can tell. ( sampling was done by keyclack and or thesiscamper)

I just want to explain the difficulties in judging colors by photograph, and even choosing the Pantone Codes.
First, Pantone Codes are constants, you either find (rarely I imagine) the exact color you wanted or settle for something close. It can be brighter, it can be darker, and it can have a different hue. You come up with hex codes and try to find the closest Pantone codes that already exist.
Second, it's hard to photograph objects that reflect light, actually it's hard to photograph anything at all with accurate colors in mind. You can take a photo of the same object and get different white balance every time if you use a phone. Even using cameras mean it depends on how the camera interprets colors, and using different cameras result in different colors. Now if you take into account viewing on the hundreds of different monitors then yeah, nobody is really looking at the same thing.
Third, renders are approximations that still rely on computations based on the real world. I don't have the lighting set up of your room, it won't be the same for better or worse. Even changing where the light comes from can drastically change the look of a rendered object.
Anyway, here's a photo of the mods sandwiched between a black GMK and black Maxkey cap. Please note that the colors in the photo are brighter than what I see with my own eyes, and my montitor is at 45% brightness.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/PZh959y.jpg)
Here's a photo of the first photograph above, compared to the caps held in my hand. Note that the caps in my hand are now darker than how I see it in person.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/0gXuixw.jpg)
I find that color matching is hard, and I just hope seeing the set in person will change people's minds about how they feel about the color selection. Also, if you check the renders the mods are almost black, so I'm not sure why there are complaints about it now.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/G9SmjFK.jpg)

I received my set this week. Without claiming the colors are 100% accurate (though still close), here's my picture of it.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/wpUGGoz.jpg?1)
Edit: Looking at jchan's photo's I can say the last two are indeed very close to the real thing. In his first photo the mods seem a bit lighter than they actually are.
Received my set today. While the alphas do look more vibrant under bright light, they look absolutely perfect in my dimly lit room and it's really everything I've hoped for. The modifiers look black at first sight but noticeably cooler than other blacks, and the blue shows as a sort of iridescent glow when light reflects off of them. Overall, I love how it turned out. It really emits those bluish wet tarmac at nighttime vibes and makes me want to play need for speed carbon again. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi0rmljsivY)
All pictures so far don't even come close to doing justice to how great these look under dim light.
I like it :)..Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/mcEhUzU.jpg)
I think it would be interesting to have a direct comparison for the modifiers. Is anyone able to post them next to something like N9-Modifiers (=dark grey)? N9 is used for mods in Hydro, Skydolch, Terminal, .... The pictures always make them look like something between N9 and CR with zero blue tint in them.
I have SkyDolch and will/can post a picture once I get SD if nobody has done it by the time I get it. Looking at photo's tho I can't tell the difference. SD mods might be a little darker compared to Sky Dolch mods but some pictures they also have hint of blue and others they are black. Only the first picture does not have a filter on it (I can't find the originals). The first and second picture is a board with Ocean Dolch Alphas and Sky Dolch mods and the third photo is in reverse.

The dog is much lighter and less brown than the renders.
Carbon doesn't use N9. The dark gray is custom... but close.
Thanks for nice comparisons Jon_Flynn, finally a proof that we didn't use TU1 for alphas ;D
Man did no one get the colored mod kit? That was like the whole appeal for me lol.

no, just base and space bars for me. I already had the coloured mods with Oblivion coming so didnt want two sets broadly the same idea on the mods
I just got my set and I have to say that it looks better in person than on the photos we have seen recently. Not as good as the renders, which were terrific, but still quite nice. And the back of the packaging is hilarious :D
Here are some pictures with GMK samples for N9 BV TU1 and TU2 as well as mods from ocean dolch and oblivion
The alphas are nice and dark in natural light. In terms of the mods they are darker than N9 (which I believe the oblivion mods are unless my eyesight is wrong) but they are also a dark blue hue which is nice but hard to photograph.
Hope this helps.
Happy to take more pics if anyone has any requestsShow Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/ada48d7ee99ff8592dd376177911f36f.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/fa7a0dbf16d47fd8afc04bd1280df2cd.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/cc383b6b7fd005495f2ef68ea2e77094.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/5a794a3c7db464cfd6330f70c211ce00.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/830464a600a2e5f9158112b64e11af27.jpg)Show Image(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180320/4d47275349a0db274c20d2b497ff6d1f.jpg)

Apologies - I was commenting on my thoughts to the colours, not comparing necessarily to the renders originally offered. I feel like there was an acknowledgement at some point that due to the custom colours there would be a diversion from the renders due to fitting the theme better and obtaining new samples - so I wasn't expecting a render accurate set.
Anyway - its fair to say that these are not the same as the render, but do look much better than the pictures that GMK took directly. I apologise if the fact that I like the keyset and like the blue hue offends/upsets/angers you.

Good to hear!
Been waiting for someone to notice :P
FYI: Coloured mods will include stepped Caps Lock and Ctrl
Just got my set this morning
Am overall happy as many people have seen/said the colours are slightly different to the renders (They're close enough tho, you're never to get a perfect match)
My big disappointment with the set is the coloured mods
I only bought the kit due being told that it would come with stepped caps/controlFYI: Coloured mods will include stepped Caps Lock and Ctrl
My set didn't come with either making it unusable to me and many others!
Ignore the lighting in the pic it's just to show the lack of stepped keys

wat.
If true, that ****ing sucks
I’m upset that the theme/concept has been altered without clear head ups or indications.Well there was a posting that they decided to deviate from the original solarized dark colours, so it is not entirely true that there was no heads up. I remember that so well, because I actually cancelled my solarized order as a result. Still I totally get your point. I do not think that the changes in the set have been well communicated. By itself the result is not necessary bad, just not what was promised in the original concept.

In terms of the mods they are darker than N9 (which I believe the oblivion mods are unless my eyesight is wrong)
Currently, I'm pausing on shipping, as 90% of people who ordered, also opted for the colored modifiers. I'm waiting for a reply from GMK currently to see how to proceed.

tfw you only ordered the Base Kit because you preferred the monochrome look
Are there going to be any extras on the Keyclack store? I passed on the Spacebar Kit originally but the more I think about it the more I think that was an error.
Hi,
Looks like in our last exchange with GMK, I (Keyclack) did not catch the 2 keys missing from the modifier set as they asked for verification on the kits.
The fault is mine, and I've already contacted GMK about receiving the 2 missing keys for the kits.
To quantify things:
1. I currently the bulk of the modifiers from the production; 85%.
2. Today, 30 packages went out with USPS with modifiers.
Currently, I'm pausing on shipping, as 90% of people who ordered, also opted for the colored modifiers. I'm waiting for a reply from GMK currently to see how to proceed.
I'm deeply sorry for this issue, and hopefully we hear back soon regarding the 2 missing keys.

...gives a bit more contrast
which is the opposite of the idea behind the solarized colour palette, which has low contrasts and that is what people are complaining about. legends too white, mods too dark.

If there’s no way to cancel orders, would you be interested in taking over my spacebar kit? TU2 isn’t doing it for me on this set. If our sets haven’t shipped out yet, I wonder if there’s a way to get jchans attention.
Hi,
If you're not satisfied with the colors and would like the opportunity to cancel, please send an email to support@keyclack.com with your full name, or your invoice ID
Invoice ID is in the URL of your invoice found under orders on keyclack.com

Still waiting for GMK response.
I decided to go with the Penumbra mods. I really do like the alphas thou.

It's a shame that the GMK Penumbra mods have those awful capitalized letters. Worst set design in GMK history (and I own them).

Oh man that looks good! I just wish GMK would get back so the people who ordered the colored mods can get the set. I feel like this is gonna be a huge delay. Almost willing to pay the $5.75 it would cost to have the two keys sent out once completed via USPS or something.

I do not care for the two missing keys, so I requested to have my set shipped without waiting for them. Jchan/Keyclack obliged.
When GMK makes mistakes, they fix them quickly, only took a few weeks for replacements to be made for the Yuri Icons. Delays are for waiting to get a production slot in queue. When GMK makes a mistake, they don't stick you at the back of the queue, they just fix it and ship.

No disagreement here, but I didn't see any need to wait for keys that I won't use.

...the 14th... 14th month of next year? ;)
Basically.
He posted 3 Instagram stories of his new products, so I replied there telling him I've sent tried contacting him through 4 channels - Reddit, Geekhack, email, and his website - with no luck. He immediately responded with "Hi Anthony, unfortunately we are out of the office until 4-14. We will reply to your message then."
I really have no idea how people still support this farce of a business.
god dammit. my modifier-set arrived today, and as we all know, the stepped caps arent in it. yeah - still theres a FN in it - 1u... but then i realized, the 1.25 fn is missing -.- cant imagine this mistake slipped through all our minds...

1.25 Fn should be there in the base kit tray, could you double check?
Maybe a little late, but I thought I'd post some pictures. I have a setup for photos that (in my opinion) produces pictures which show the colors pretty accurately.

Note that I took these photos with my ****ty camera phone, but the close ups should be spot on.
Wait until the 14th everyone. I am not too thrilled either, but let's not turn this into a sh*t on JChan thread.
Hi,
I've been waiting for a reply from GMK.
About 10 days ago, Christoph from GMK followed up with me with the keys. I'm still currently waiting an invoice from GMK however.
I followed up with them 6 days ago, confirming that I'm waiting for an update from Michaela who handles billing, etc.
Just waiting on that still, and following up with an email today as well.
Still waiting a reply. I've bumped an email with GMK again.Fingers crossed that it's soon. Thanks for the update, jchan.
Hopefully news soon.
Just got the information to proceed from Michaela ; moving forward.
Hurray!
Hurray!

With Yuri it was just a few weeks, maybe a month, it really just depends how busy GMK is I’d imagine.

Had delays with customs, but they arrive on Friday according to the tracking.

If you're in the EU, a package should be on it's way to mykeyboard.eu and I'll be coordinating with them to get the keys sent out. No cost is required on your end of course.
Is the holdup just the missing Caps Lock for the colored legends?
So now that dsa hydro is ready for launch, maybe we'll get some attention.. because clearly the priority was new product launches instead of shipping us our caps that were received over three weeks ago.
11 days shy of a year since gb start and I have nothing. :confused:
Just an update to say that he's there... I ordered something off the site, and it got shipped pretty quickly. Not sure what's going on with the update; I want to get an additional space bar kit, but can't do that until this is done and he puts the extras up on the store. :(
Call him out on Reddit. It's the only way people have gotten his attention in the past.
His communication skills are extremely poor to say the least. No doubt he's going to come with some excuse how his cousin's neighbor's babysitter's puppy died and he had to deal with that for the last month and his entire world has been in disarray.
It's been nothing but excuse after excuse with him.

i had a long discussion about this in the biggest reddit mod slack (not just r/mk mods), if you can make a post without personally attacking jchan then i wouldn't remove it
the problem is that all the times people have tried to do it (save the one, just barely), it personally attacks jchan
these aren't my rules, it's part of reddit's anti-bullying policy, so my hands are tied and i have to be strict on it
i've only ever talked to jchan like 3 times, and not at all within the last 8 months or so, when i thanked him for shipping my GMK soware set
posting offsite that you're going to make a personal attack is the problem, not brigading
i shouldn't have said anything, i never learn

In general, I'd agree with both of you -- if we're still waiting on production then there's basically no point in hounding the group buy runner as in most cases they're just as clueless and bound to the same timeline as we, the consumers are. However in this case, we're talking about Solarized Dark's extra keys that supposedly arrived to jchan several weeks ago. Since then there has been no word from him.
It is not unreasonable to ask a vendor/group buy runner for updates on an item has been on-hand for weeks. No updates leaves everyone who hasn't received their set in a pretty awful place as it just seems like the vendor doesn't actually care for his customers at all. The fact of the matter is that poor communication skills has become a recurring theme with jchan (M65, MC Rebirth, etc) all the while spinning up new products that seem to immediately take precedence over the things he has already started.
I think most peoples' worries would be calmed with a simple, "hey guys, I'm sorry for once again dropping the ball with communication, here's what I plan to do moving forward, etc"
All of this would be avoided by just saying something.
Got my tracking number too -- in a very unceremonious email :D
Looking forward to seeing them in person.

That was already the case before this buy started, so it shouldn't come as any surprise in this buy. I bought in knowing full well how he operates, so I'm okay with letting his process run its course. To my knowledge people haven't been horribly scammed by him, he just takes his time.

You say it as though that's acceptable.
Keyclack is not just a single dude running group buys on Geekhack -- Keyclack is a registered LLC in the state of California. Would you hand over hundreds of dollars for something from a local retailer and then just write it off as "well that's just how they do business" when they never send you your item?
I think the answer is no. The answer should be no different for Keyclack. It's time to stop writing off this type of behavior because "that's how he operates" -- the only thing that comes of that is more FUD.

this obsession with being an LLC making a difference is very silly.
The simple, sad truth is that you should not join ANY group buy if you don't have the stomach for this kind of thing, regardless of whether it's run by a single person, an LLC, a corporation or God himself.
Yes, I'm aware that delays happen. I'm also aware that it takes 10 minutes tops to notify people through email, post on a forum and post something to reddit letting buyer's know there's a delay.

Not that I disagree that people accepting money in exchange for services should be more accountable and communicative, but this obsession with being an LLC making a difference is very silly.
Keyclack is, I'm sure, a pass-through disregarded entity LLC with a sole proprietor (Chan). This is purely a tax consideration, not a suggestion of customer interaction requirements. It basically gives Chan the ability to file self-employment taxes and has some other benefits (and negatives), but has no bearing on how he treats customers.
EVERYONE accepting money from people in exchange for goods SHOULD be forthright, honest and expedient regardless of their tax formation but the formation itself has no bearing on their responsibilities. 90% of the people running group buys here and elsewhere are ill-prepared for the task and have trouble.
The simple, sad truth is that you should not join ANY group buy if you don't have the stomach for this kind of thing, regardless of whether it's run by a single person, an LLC, a corporation or God himself.
While I received tracking on the 12th, my package has not been delivered to FedEx yet. Anyone else with tracking see movement on their shipment?
The other thing to keep in mind is that these tracking numbers we received are pre-shipment numbers. He has not actually shipped packages, just generated tracking. In the past, I've seen this as a way for group buy runners to extend their time even further by making it seem as if there's progress when there isn't actually anything happening. I hope that's not the case here, but temper expectations.

Assume the best... Lol.
When it comes to keyclack, assuming the best is a recipe for disappointment these days. You can hope, but don't assume.

Oh, right... I got so caught up in being frustrated with the lack of news and shipping that I forgot how badly this set turned out. The colors are truly a huge miss. Oh well.
The set looks much better in person. Pictures don’t do it justice. However, it still isn’t anywhere close to the renders.
I might have to give the colored mods a shot if extras ever become available!The set looks much better in person. Pictures don’t do it justice. However, it still isn’t anywhere close to the renders.
Totally agree with this sentiment.
I just wish this part would get over so I could get another set of spacebars and the colored mods!
Oh, right... I got so caught up in being frustrated with the lack of news and shipping that I forgot how badly this set turned out. The colors are truly a huge miss. Oh well.
Not to pile on but I would love to see a postmortem some time about how we ended up with the colors we did, because I genuinely think it would help other future designers/GB runners when planning a set with GMK.
I know renders aren’t always accurate but the difference between the renders and the end product is night and day, so I’m curious which part of the process needed to change, etc, to avoid this outcome.

You, like other "color experts" here, are just really dumb. I'm not saying the outcome is perfect, but I already explained the process and how we got here. The mistake is not choosing a specific Pantone code beforehand, because not all hex codes and RGB values can be produced in Pantone.
Second time I said this, god you guys are dumb.
Also the ****ing lighting, I can choose any keyset and compare photos and they can look very different from each other. Everybody's a ****ing expert online.

All thesiscamper did is help design the set. He has nothing to with how keyclack ran the gb/whatever is going on currently.
How dare gutsack, as a customer, to voice his opinion. To all the future payers: geekhack is not Amazon, do not leave negative reviews because you have absolutely no rights to voice your opinions even though you pay for the products. Just take it in the ass or else “you are really ****ing dumb”.
sometime today the thread title got changed to 'shipping' instead of 'shipped to keyclack and proxies'
is it happening boys?

Thing is, I genuinely wasn't trying to leave a negative review but ask how things ended up where they did. I've been part of GMK sets in the past where the color process was pretty lengthy and required lots of samples, in this buy it seemed like the color issues were all well after people had paid money, and I was genuinely curious how the hiccups in this buy's process and what could have been done differently to change the end result.
Truthfully, though, this community, on a whole, is extremely unforgiving of complaint about results. Any time someone is unhappy with how a buy turned out it's "don't join group buys if you care" or "it's just one guy" or "have patience they'll ship someday" or "if you don't like the result, don't buy from this person again" but there's no way for anyone to discuss their displeasure without it going toxic and south almost immediately. I shouldn't have even asked because part of me knew this would happen, but I had had good experiences with jchan before and I had never interacted with thesiscamper directly.
I didn't mean to explode the thread, sorry.

If you're gonna compare to the render, at least do it in similar-ish lighting. This potato pic is still a ways off from reality (alphas slightly too saturated, mods too dark) but it's the closest I've gotten it and I've seen:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/gB7zJgg.png)
This is an extremely un-photogenic set, like I have literally not seen a single picture anywhere that does them justice. I will agree it's a decent bit different from the renders, but not even close to what the pictures show.
IRL, the legends are clearly grey and not white like cameras seem to think, the alpha blue is clearly visible but not remotely bright, it's very calm and understated, ever so slightly greenish too as it should be (pic doesn't really get that), modifiers aren't clearly blue but the colour presents itself more as a tone, a cold off-black, almost iridescent, really cool imo. The TU2 accents are violently cyan, pure energy, and serve to contrast the rest of the set and make the gentle, subdued nature more clearly visible.
Recieved my kits and put them on my ergodox.
Here's how they look:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/larCeqT.jpg)
The modifiers are indeed quite dark, this is one (on the right) compared to some black SP DCS blanks (on the left):Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/kywfHhG.jpg)
Finally, designer must have the ability to absorb critiques, that how you grow as an artist/designer/maker. You don't insult critique-givers. It doesnt take a film philosopher to recognize good films. It doesnt take a color theorist to say Solarized Dark is a ****show. Get off your high horse, learn how to filter criticisms, and definitely do not insult the people who funded your visions. Thesiscamper took me by surprise with the personal insults, I hope one day he'll grow up.

That's fine and all, but I've seen thesis break on more than one occasion. One of them was on me!
FTFY ;) :thumb:
Being serious, that's unfortunate. But I don't think that obviates my statement in any fashion. :thumb:
Well, I think it's pretty rude of him to say what he did. I've seen plenty of people at breaking points rage online and to me it's never an excuse to call people dumb, even if you feel you are more experienced in a profession.
Did I ever say it wasn't? That's not what my statement said, nor meant. I just think it's better not to descend into the muck and wade it out with the person. But to try to afford a little grace, and let it go. There are enough tensions in the thread than to go adding to them, no matter how justified you may be or feel that you are. That's just my take, admittedly, but no less valid for that.
Sorry, I am lost... are the missing stepped caps and ctrl what is being shipped? If so, who will be notifying the people that got the set through a proxy?
All the trackings have been sent out.
A major number of the tracking numbers have not been updated (pending). Our USPS pickup person has left USPS, so today, we'll be taking these to USPS. You will see it move tomorrow.

If you're waiting for a replacement keycap, you will get the tracking today after I finalize the list. You'll get tracking via email on file. If you've changed addresses since then, please notify support@keyclack.com . I will be holding the replacement keycap shipments for a day before dropping them off at USPS.

Hey jchan,
Have a quick question. I already received my base kit and colored modifiers with the first batch of shipments. Just wondering if I'll receive separate tracking for the stepped caps and stepped ctrl caps.
I saw that you're still working on tracking for 'replacement keycaps'. I didn't know if the stepped caps fell into that category.
Thank you!
Finally, designer must have the ability to absorb critiques, that how you grow as an artist/designer/maker. You don't insult critique-givers. It doesnt take a film philosopher to recognize good films. It doesnt take a color theorist to say Solarized Dark is a ****show. Get off your high horse, learn how to filter criticisms, and definitely do not insult the people who funded your visions. Thesiscamper took me by surprise with the personal insults, I hope one day he'll grow up.

When you said this:
"Everyone has a breaking point. I hope if you ever reach it on any project, people treat you with more grace."
it sounded to me like you were justifying thesis' post considering the statements made by people regarding the colors and his reaction toward them.
"Everyone has a breaking point" = thesis had a breaking point by reading these comments and lashed out.
"I hope if you ever reach it on any project" = someone else in the same shoes as thesis reading comments about work they've done.
"people treat you with more grace." = people ought to understand the position thesis is in and offer more grace (i.e., not be offended by his remarks), and similarly ought if you were in the same position.

Expected delivery by: Friday June 22

Clarify:
1. mykeyboard.eu currently has them, and is shipping them out soon!
2. KP from kprepublic, was shipped the shipment, but we are unaware when he will ship it.
One year to the day. Better late than never.
I didn't receive a shipping confirmation but I did receive my shipment today. It is intact and complete - base, modifier, and spacebar kits, plus the stepped keys.
All the trackings have been sent out.

Just received the set and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Honestly, I think the alphas look closer to Solarized Dark than the renders did, so that's good for me since it's my favorite Vim theme.
For everyone else getting the set, make sure you check the back of the box!Show Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/117454114354364419/460203039412846622/IMG_20180623_160128.jpg)
Is there per chance going to be another round of this goodness in foreseeable future?Lol doubtful. This definitely wasn’t the most painless group buy. I would be surprised if it ran again.
Very happy with how this set turned out :cool:Wow. This is hands down the best picture I've seen. It's absolutely perfect all-around! Makes me want to get a blue board. .Show Image(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1805/28492203937_9271d71c5a_k.jpg)

In case anyone was wondering, the new 6u centered spacebar mold works perfect on Novatouch'd keyboards!

I believe that is actually an LZ STWhich color clueboard is that? The grey? It looks really good! I was thinking about putting it on my teal, but went with oblivion as I needed the 2U space to complete it, and the extras aren't up yet. :(Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/fUxzi8J.jpg)
How do you work around the Topre 6u stabilizer, though?
hey is this likely to run again anytime soon?

Simply by popping out both the original stabilizer assembly and replacing it with ones from the Novatouch! The original 6u stabilizer wire is retained. Wasn't sure it was even going to work until it was put back together since I don't think anyone else has tried this.

If anyone has a set to sell, i am buying.
What's going on here - is this a new GB?

The title of the thread says "COMPLETE" and the link in the post before yours is to buy leftovers from the group buy.
So no.
that's the KeyClack base page, not particular to Solarized Dark. Could just be a site revamp moving to Shopify.What's going on here - is this a new GB?

So no.
Did you click the link? Keyclack now shows "Opening Soon" on that page. I couldn't tell if they're relaunching a GB or their entire website, hence my question.
But thank you for the patronizing answer. :)
+1 for R2
+1
round 2 would be pretty dank
any plans for r2?
OP pls do r2
This is probably my favorite GMK set despite the color matching issues. I'd love to get another set of it. R2 is my dream.
