I knew I would regret not getting the boneyard alpha, but alas, life gets in the way.

Gorgeous! Too bad I could only afford base kit at the time, these sets all look amazing. How do you like typing on R0/R5 so far?

No difference for me in typing with R5 compared to R4. Also i typed on R5 before. I got BSP Desko set for example and it has R5.
Tho R5 is very comfortable if you use bottom row without moving your hand. Say you can better activate bottom row keys while you stay on the homing row.

I will install the new Carbon set on my 75% keyboard this weekend. The R0 keys look already gorgeous.

R0 and R5 at its best. It is godlike on keyboards with steep angle like Duck Octagon with its 11 degree.

That might work depending on the mix. But it would not be the perfect match due the different color tonalities (gray and beige colors are different). For GMK Nines i think a better set to mix with would be GMK Skidata - especially color kit (orange alphas).

I get that, I know that they are different but that's what I was curious about. Will the subtle differences look good? I think it's gonna be a nice combination.

Not sure about if its going to look good but i would like to see bone modifiers with nines alphas or vice versa (boneyard with nines mods). Tho the beauty of the mono colored set gets lost.

Those who ordered Carbon Cadet kit, might have been notified by MD about the delay. At this point you should not worry. As you probably know, i got GMK Carbon R2 samples earlier and i discovered an issue with one key in Cadet kit. That specific key gets a replacement and afaik the replacement were already shipped to MD. So there is a slight delay. I personally don't know if it will cause delays for other people, who did not ordered Carbon Cadet. So please don't quote me on that. Tho it seems like some people got their shipping notifications.

Got my set yesterday, pretty pleased.  I'm really glad that R0/R5 were used, I like them quite a bit.  Only thing I regret is only buying the base set, really should have picked up some novelties since this is definitely going to be my main set for a while.

Then you should monitor MD’s update.

Knowing them, there should be extras for next Keycap Recap (in June, maybe?)

For me, it's a big step towards endgame. Time for cables, I guess…

Btw, I wish I bought the salty kit. If someone in EU wants to sell it or a part of it (I need a R1 or R0 orange on grey or the opposite), PM me !

Cross-posting -- but here's Carbon R2 Bone and Boneyard Alphas -- looks amazing.  Photos appear a bit darker than how it looks IRL due to the en face lighting -- I think the second photo from the side shows the color much more accurately. Cheers!
