Thanks to everyone who helped get this set to where it is currently. This project would not be what it is without all the render help, comments and feedback, and support.

In for the base kit. 85 bucks for Hangul alphas is a rip off too bad cause I wouldve grabbed one of those too if it wasnt overpriced.

Lovely set but the colored hangul sublegends really make it something special. Which is why I will not be buying it. I mostly have 65%'s and spending 220 euros on a set I use less than half the keys of is just too much for me. If it was in the base kit I would have bought it and probably added the spacebars and extention kits (possibly even the R5 kit if it had 1.25u support)
Buying this just for the gray tones doesn't set it apart enough for me.

With week 3 of the buy about to begin, we are about half way to MOQ on most kits. The Row 5 kit will be cancelled.

Thanks to those who've supported so far!

According to Cannon Keys group buy updates, it took 4 months to reject the first round of color samples? What gives?

No, no. In the correct context: It took 4 Months from GMK to invoice, vendors to pay, GMK to prepare the samples and send them to CK and then send them to the designer. The rejection process probably was pretty straightforward and not taking a lot of time.

GMK requires full payment upfront before samples are accepted?! Or is it a downpayment that is apportioned across the vendors...

illusixn posted December 16th that CK had received samples. According to CK group buy status page:

 April 2022: First round of samples denied, opting for a second round
January 2022: First color samples have been received and we are determining the next step. Once color matching is complete and the set is in the manufacturing queue, an ETA will be added.

I don't think what you described aligns with what's been posted.

Thinking on it further, taking 4 months to invoice, or collect on invoices, is a completely unsustainable business practice. I do not think this dude knows what the heck he is talking about.
