In for base, for me the set of the year.

Even nicer then 2048 torii ;)


Any chance for more colorful R1 dots if enough sets are sold?


Again, thanks for this perfect set.

I already answered the question, when I made tests it just looked weird because of the shape ok the keycap.
The vertical 2Us works well better on a numpad because it's not staggered tho.
Moreover, on a layout without numpad, having just one keycap with a vertical legend like that looked really off…

... and I wish the single color kits had been a thing.

I didn't want to offer the monochrome kit due to MOQ issues.
But tbh, I wasn't expecting such a hype the first days and thought that people would not buy base kit + monochrome kit + nomad kit or a rama keycap.
That's why I decided to remove this kit.

Yeah, I know, that's why I said "still"! I trust you. I've already ordered my kit so no worries.

Yes it’s not your GB, and considering how much people love this set the way it is, I think we can all agree that Biip made the right decisions.
He has a lot of experiences in doing GB, you don’t.

If you’re not happy with his choices it’s alright, even if the huge majority approve them.
But respect his decisions at least, we got your POV no need to develop it again.

Don't chastise me for "misrespecting" biip's choices, given that I'm not doing that (also note that "we all agree" and "the huge majority approves" don't mean the same thing).

FTR, I was pointing out that I was talking about a different thing that what Blip responded to (look up "single color kits" and "monochrome kit" in the IC thread - those are NOT the same thing).

Can't blame people for getting defensive when your previous post was so condescending. Probably not the best way to go about having your opinions be heard, but ain't my fight.

I explained why I kept the dot for the ISO Enter keycap and why I removed the monochrome kit.

Not a problem. I just wanted to make sure the explanation for one removal (monochrome kit) wasn't mistaken for the other (single color kits).

Perhaps the latter might be considered for an R2, which I easily see being asked for the very next day after the GB has ended. :D

@biip: Back on the IC thread ilpsxnus asked an interesting question that was never answered:
Quote from: ilpsxnus
I've just joined the GB for a base kit but would like to know if the purple and orange R4 1.5 keycaps that appear in the renders will be made available as a separate add-on kit (these aren't in any of the kits).
This is a good question, as some layouts need 3 1.5u keys. Can you please provide an answer?

Those were a mistake :(
I should have edit the renders tho... Sorry.
Also, I wasn't aware that some layouts would need more than 4 R4 1.5u keys...

Only drop normally has price breaks - with other gbs usually extra caps are added (e.g. With bento or metropolis)

this.
Since we have very small margins with the vendors (in order to have a nice retail price) we won't be able to do that on 500MOQ tho.

150 MOQ is a total for all kits combined - not each kit has to hit 150 individually for that particular kit to be made?

150 was the MOQ for just the Ergo. It’s 250 for the base.

Maybe I am being dense but don't understand what "We are at 148 with extras. So nothing to worry about" means then - latest count I saw was 70 for the Ergo with 80 more kits needed to make it to MOQ - seems like a long way to go (or do Ergo kits sell better on GH than MD where they always seem to lag behind).

Extras means what the vendors have committed to buy. So with the total that customers have purchased, plus extras, we are at 148. Which means we definitely are hitting MOQ.

Is the base color custom? You may be able to buy a matching one separately if not.

Thanks, will keep my fingers crossed - as no new molds would be  required for that (compared to e.g. the cool extras in bento that came in the mail last friday) maybe its possible.


Another thing ;) as I saw the milkshake dots - and this GB was so successful - any plans on White KAM or ePBT Dots?

I initially planned to make Dots alphas and Dots modifiers for Milkshake but it didn't look good and there were already so many kits…
I could run a light version on GMK since now colors and molds exist, so it won't be expensive. EPBT is also a solution.
KAM atm is way too shiny.
In all cases, I already know what I will do next with these dots ;)

Possibly, you'd have to wait for extra sets to become available on NovelKeys after the GB ships.

Hi!

If your preferences are now more for the Base kit, it is still available here:

We found an issue with the nomad kit, and are currently working with GMK on figuring out a solution.
Something maybe to the effect that shipments will be delayed until a solution is figured out.

Hope you understand.
Thanks.

Please also decide about extras with GMK. I really want to add them to my pre-ordered Base Kit.

What do you mean?

Something like GMK's Terminal N9 ErgoDox Kit

Just to clarify: are all orders delayed, or only those with the Nomad kit? As far as I can see, CandyKeys hasn't even updated from "Manufacturing" yet, so hard to know whether I can actually expect this soon or not... (My order does not include the Nomad kit, only the base)

This is the 4th GMK set that I have ordered that has issues: GMK Minimal had a 1.5 Ctrl key with issues, GMK Oblivion had all novelties misaligned, GMK WoB/BoW Icon Extension kit had thinner Enters and Shifts and now GMK Dots has issues. GMK is no longer what it used to be.

We just heard back from GMK.

The missing keycaps from the nomad kit will be shipped out early next week. It should take 2-3 business days for them to arrive after shipping.

We are still waiting for our sets from the original freight shipping. We still expect to receive our GMK sets next week. It sounds like we might get the sets around the same time as the replacement caps. We will wait for the replacement keycaps to come in if the the freight delivery comes in first.

I only ordered a single Rama keycap from NovelKeys but there hasn't been much news after what biip said on 7 January.
Should they have been sent out by now? And will orders only containing the Rama keycaps be affected by the GMK Dots delay as well?
Update

Rama keycaps should be sent to vendors and me later this week.
These are looking good :)

We received tracking for the Dots replacement keycaps... Unfortunately GMK waited to ship out our keycaps with VoC, so they will be arriving freight, and will be delayed until end of March.

We will start printing and shipping orders for Dots later this week though. Nomad kits - you may receive your tracking number, but it wont be active until we actually receive the replacements. Sometimes freight delivers earlier than estimated, so that is why we are starting to print off orders later this week.

Extras will be announced through our newsletter after everything has shipped.

Yeah, in retrospect that would've been the smart thing to do. Just those few seconds of hesitation cost me the opportunity. That's the second time I missed buying extras of Dots, since I wasn't around for the initial GB. So it goes, I guess!

I wish the website had a cart reservation system. Like even just 5 minutes or something. I had everything in my cart! Sigh. I'll let it go haha.

On the plus side, I guess this removes any hesitation I had about getting Jules. I was unsure about getting in on that because of the No 2/65, but maybe now I'll just get both to spite Dots hahaha haha ah my poor wallet...

KAT Dots in dyesub PBT - hell yes! As much as I love the aesthetics of this kit, I can't bring myself to waste money on ABS caps any more. But I'm guessing there's more chance of another GMK run before then since they would have had to cover the cost of the new molds already.

Most of the reason why I like this set so much is because of the bright mod colors on the navy base, so I'm really hoping for a rerun with the same colors. I could see a more plain set also selling well, though.
