[GB] KeyKobo Tidal (Canceled)
« on: Fri, 29 September 2023, 18:16:04 »


Looking for blue in a certain shade? Maybe something light to lift the depressing state of group buys? Feeling blue for whatever reason, maybe someone used your money on a Porche? Fear not

Storms ahead

Don’t get caught at sea. Look out over the edge of your boat to see the endless water around you. As you peer out onto the horizon you can’t help but marvel at the stormy gradient of blues off into the distance. Just like KKB Tidal!

The four tone desaturated blues feel like crashing waves on a night time swim. Bring a bit of wonder to your desk set up with these cool blues atop your keyboard. Great for Navy boards or even a shiny silver base to fall back and let the gradient steal the show.

Approved :thumb:

PSA to prospective buyers:
Group Buys are inherently risky endeavors. There is an element of risk involved with collecting payment before the item has been produced and resulting uncertainty during manufacturing / subsequent operations. We urge all GB organizers to consider (and document) these risks, and want to make it clear to all who consider purchasing that these risks are present.

If you are unfamiliar with the Group Buy model, please read this primer - Group Buy FAQ / Buying Guidelines

This PSA is new and will become standard on all Group Buys moving forward. It is not posted on this GB in isolation and is not singling this organizer out in particular as someone to be wary of.

We will be potentially canceling this buy as it has been resoundingly unsuccessful - Will let you know soon enough.

Damn, it's only been live for like a week. Then again, the IC thread does only have a single page of posts...

OriginL IC is 3 pages, I made the new one to reattract interest.

A total of 3-5 sales in week 1 isn’t enough for me and vendors to put forth further effort. I still like the design and colors so maybe someone will pick it up for in stock or something but I wouldn’t put my hopes on it

The curse of Keykobo. Everyone pushes for it, but nobody buys it when it is available for sale unfortunately.

- Timelines and false promises
- Decline of hobby growth
- Keycap saturation
- GB Scams and vendor shut downs

The list can go on, not just KKB. I have a set and would put it on par with GMK
