Arch Linux: A minimal Linux Distribution with a focus on Modernity, Simplicity, Versatility, User Centrality, and Pragmatism
Hey Geekhack! My name's Ram and I'm here to show my first ever keyset, GMK Arch, it's a keycap set inspired by the 5 principles of
Arch Linux which were stated above. This is a Linux Distro I’m especially fond of, and use daily as my main. 3 of its 5 principles,
Modernity, Versatility, and Simplicity, have influenced this set. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Arch Linux Foundation.
(Percentage will be 10-15%)

Hey everyone,

Let me start by saying that this is my first time posting here, and my first time buying keycaps, for my first custom keyboard. So apologies in advance if the question makes no sense or is against community rules or something.

So, with that out of the way: I ordered the GMK Arch Base + Novelties + NorDeUK from mykeyboard.eu back in April and, from what I can tell from the info here, the caps were sent to production and then... no more news (AFAICT). Do we have an idea of when the orders are going to be shipped or something? Did I miss some important update about this?

Again, apologies if I am wrong to ask this. Just trying to understand how this is going.

Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by not entirely convincing, those deskmats are the exact same deskmats that are getting shipped out to customers.

Anyways, here are some pics of the caps from people in my server.
