I am going to pick up the RAMAs and another deskmat to compliment R1 sets.  It is a real shame there is no UK ISO or Nordre/UK kits this time.

The color is Pantone matched to the deep navy of the keycap base.

Am new to customs so slightly confused- it looks as if the base set has the necessary caps for the L return etc. That’s on a U.K. keyboard. What’s missing?

Sadly just a few additional keys are required to make a useful UK ISO board.  Most if not all sets come with an ISO return key and split left shift which deals with the physical differences.  After that you need Row1 - 2", Row1 3Ł, Row3 @', Row3 #~ and Row4 \|.  That is it.

Also a different R1 ` key (the far left one).  There are six keys at a minimum for ISO-UK.  Sometimes you get an extra 4 key with the € symbol on it in addition.

Ah okay- I’m a Mac user so I looking at the layouts their U.K. keyboard is a mix between international and U.K. iso which is where my confusion came from!

damn that's a high MOQ for midnight, I really hope it makes it there (or gets venders to buy the extras) as it's my fav colorway in the set

Everything will get made. And Midnight is on track to hit MOQ with ease from past sales projections. :)

I think that is because the blue fits with both the normal base and midnight base. Also there is already a bunch of yellow in r1 and r2.

This is something I decided on aesthetically. It allows an accent of every color to be used outside of a spacebar. Yes technically the enter falls as a yellow modifier, but using a red R4 accent, yellow enter and yellow esc always felt weird to me, so I broke my own rules

I was also asking for a design for ISO enter, the Signs and Turnpike kit would be much better with it.

Hey Nephlock, just want to say thanks for running round 2. I always thought this was a great looking set and reading through your posts shows the care you put into it.
Glad to support someone taking so much feedback from the crowd.

Congrats on becoming the most I've spent collectively on a keyset to date.

There are no yellow novelty for enter this run, not everything will match :(. It would be better if the enter novelty is yellow like in the first round because we have blue and red arrows plus red shift. Blue enter just makes no sense.

Question about the midnight kit, there's alternate icon caps for some of the modifiers but not all?

correct. the alternate icons are really meant as accents or novelties, and not as replacements for all of them.

hmmm, I see.  Just the OCD side of me is holding me back on that set now and I can not unsee it.  Still got time to convince myself.....

This set is the most fun when asymmetric anyway.

Was going to preorder the Midnight but then I realized I wanted a Numpad set and it only comes with the base kit. Guess my best bet would be to grab the Midnight and hope someone with a base kit wants to sell his numpad set?

Just ordered a base kit and midnight kit.
It is frustrating that NK won't let deskpads and keycap sets be ordered together like other vendors but it is not a big enough deterrent to prevent me from getting in on this set. Thanks for R2!

I bought into this GB because I had to have this set.  Now I’m on the lookout for a board to build around it!

I was really desperate to get something, as I love the theme and colors, but in the end the terrible iso support meant I only could get the rama esc and midnight desk mat (don’t understand why turnpike didn’t come with the two iso keys).

I hope there’s a more inclusive r3 some day.

You don't want a yellow PgUp paired with a red PgDn. The omission is intentional and doubt it will happen in future runs either.

R3 PgUp & R4 PgDn are recently adopted on 65% and are gaining popularity tho.

Hi Nephlock, I know this sounds stupid. Do you consider running a separate groupbuy add-on kit for metropolis? In R1 you offered yellow accent novelty enter, yellow arrows and yellow accent novelty tab key. I feel like we missed an opportunity when these keys were not introduced in R2, for R2 owner like me, I feel sad due to no accent yellow novelty enter to pair with my blue arrows. I also want to recommend having some love for novelty iso enters as well. I would be down for an extension kit for metropolis R2 as a separate group buy.

I also want to recommend having some love for novelty iso enters as well. I would be down for an extension kit for metropolis R2 as a separate group buy.

Adding and running an additional kit at this point is not going to happen.

The core of R2 was never to duplicate R1 exactly, and in order to do some of the additional things I wanted to do in this run, it meant that certain things had to be left behind...

By running midnight (and its included novelties) on its own, and introducing the non-accent novelties in the Turnpike kit, it freed up the standard novelty kit enough to add better support for macro columns and accent colors.

Teal arrows were added in as an extras kit in R1, but these were always a wish of mine for the midnight kit. They initially got left out due to pricing concerns, but because there was only one base kit in R1 they could be included for everyone and inherently make it into the midnight version. Running two base kits separates that.

On the yellow enter novelty, I believe that the teal is the better choice overall. This aligns with the default accents, and allows that color be in better balance with the other colors as there are few opportunities (aside from a 1U) for a teal accent.

I'm sorry if my decisions rub at your personal tastes, but hopefully this gives enough of a snapshot for you to understand why those decisions were made.

There will also be extras available when the set ships, so you’d have a chance there. Beyond that I’m sure that there will be an R3 sometime, but it’s not currently in the works so the timeline on it would be out a ways

I have orderd an GMK Metropolis x RAMA M6-C.. waiting to get my hands on it.

The official word is Q2 2022, and that’s obviously horrifically out of date though there’s no documentation of when this estimate was given. Sets from from August 2020 are shipping now from GMK, and this closed May 1st 2021. I’d be very pleased if this was in my hands before the end of the year, but plenty of sets are taking more than 19 months from GB close to in USA hands already, and that puts it in 2023.

If you ordered an m6C separately that might ship at a different time. On that aspect check with your vendor.

This date was given in april 2021, the same date is given on the Novelkeys page, they seem to be responsible for this set, if I'm not mistaken, color matching is not needed for this set, so it should appear faster
i want to believe it :blank:

Doesn't matter if colour matching is needed or not, the queue is simply that long. Sets (with and without colour matching) that ran months before it are only just being shipped now.

Example: Just looked at this forum for something that recently shipped and Space Cadet II, which ran in October 2020, appears to have shipped from GMK this week.
80082, which ran in December 2020, is currently scheduled for June 2022 shipping from GMK, according to Omnitype's website.

All we can give is the latest estimate that we have from GMK. We currently have another round of updates that we are waiting for. If anything changes it will go up on our product updates.

In other news, we hope to be able to share more about the Metropolis Keycult collab soon.

Not all vendors update ETAs at the same time.  ProtoTypist is saying Q4 2022.

BLESS MY SOUL! A SPECIAL UPDATE!

It's no secret that the past couple years have been weird, so I again appreciate your continued patience. While this update has nothing to do with the keycaps themselves, it is something I think is equally as fun.

The Metropolis Keycult No.2

Some of you may have noticed on Instagram that I had the great pleasure to visit the Keycult headquarters the other week. In addition to learning a lot about their secret sauce, I was able to take a look at the progress of the Metropolis Edition Keycult No. 2.

Currently, the machining is dialed in and approved, but the anodization color matching/sampling is taking a bit longer than expected. Currently no ETA, but I will check back in once there is something more solid to report.

A note on numbers: I've had a lot of people question how "exclusive" this will be, so I'd like to address that. While this run will be exclusively available to those that purchased Metropolis base kits, it is not meant to be entirely unobtainium within that group. We are currently looking at producing 100-200 units.

Until next time, I leave you with some pretty pictures of a machined sample.

When they do announce, they’ll have a raffle and probably? On discord where they’ve got a verification system they use for their raffles. If you’re new to discord might take a few minutes to set up, if you’re already on you’ll enter the raffle in probably 30 seconds. KC discord is worth joining, they don’t ping much and it’s often a neat look at the manu or cool boards.

Do you know if there will be other colors? I would love to have the chance at a blue to match metro or a teal.

Given that Q4 starts on October 1st, that's obviously true. Presumably the point of @Puddsy's response to my post was to say that shipping may well be as late as December 31st.

Perhaps we could get back to my question: Do you still expect to ship about the end of September?

If Oblotzky's understanding is incorrect, it would be helpful to know that, seeing as how I ordered from him. If he's correct, great.

For those still following along. We've just gotten the latest sample for the Metropolis Keycult in! We're so close now! After some long battles and adventures in anodizing trying to get colors that felt appropriate, we decided to move to cerakote for its ability to custom mix pigment. We are working on tweaking the bottom color just a hair, but the top color is approved and I am floored at how well this is going to turn out. Below is some glam glam















More information to come on all the details. stay tuned!

Due to location and other factors, different vendors often have slightly different timing.

KeyCaplendar currently says "ETA Q1 2023 - Zion Studios & proto[Typist]"

This is in line with what these two vendors are currently saying:

From the discord:

Quote
GMK Metropolis R2 has completed production and is currently in the sorting and packaging stage. Due to end of year holidays coming up, as well as mandatory inventory accounting, it is currently not 100% certain if I will be able to receive the set this year still. It is possible that it will ship to me in early January instead. I hope to deliver it before Christmas still, but cannot make that a promise. Apologies for the vague news.

Oblotzky in Germany shipped my set yesterday. See the post three up (#151).

DHL scheduled delivery in New York for tomorrow, but the set arrived at JFK airport early this morning and has already cleared customs. I may receive it today.

[EDIT]: As of 11:15 AM New York time, DHL says that my set is out for delivery. Overnight delivery from Germany to New York City is not uncommon.

Hello everyone!
I am really excited to introduce the Limited Artisan Keycaps in collab with Metropolis R2!
https://pcraft.studio/raffle/
Together with his fellow artisans, Kai can’t wait to see you in person in his first raffle:
  • Metro Kaizilla
    Metro LeOni
    Metro Darth Sculli
Metropolis was inspired by the bright lights of the city and come in striking shades of orange, green, and yellow that beautifully contrast the blue-black base. Made with top-quality materials and designed with intricate details, our artisan keycaps will be a perfect addition to your keyboards!
Form lasts until 21:00 (GMT+7/ ICT) on 15 Apr 2023
Good luck!
