Kits are shown, none of them seem to have an extra B in any of them.

I absolutely love this colorway! I'm kinda new to this hobby so excuse me if this question is stupid, but why does the base set include so many keys, the Numpad for example? Is that normal?
I'm planning on building a 65% board in the future and I would literally need less than half of the keys included in the base set.

It's because of GMK pricing on kitting, the more keys in base, the cheaper and easier for buyer imo.

From the renders, it looks like the space bars in the Zhuyin kit are red (like the modifiers) and the space bars in the Base kit are not. Is that correct? Kind of a bummer. I want the red space bars but for the Base kit.

Yes the Zhuyin kit is the same colour as mods, which would make it a monochrome set if you used them. Shame because it's also the kit that I preferred but alas.

Ugh. Forces us to buy both kits just to get the set we want. Annoying. But so pretty.

Exciting to see the Zhuyin hitting MOQ as well as a high attachment rate for RAMAs.
Really well done RAMA, the best enter RAMAs there are imo.

Any updates regarding the samples? Also, curious if the target shipment date is still Q3 of 2021, or has this been pushed back slightly?

No worries if there's a few delays with the pandemic still on-going, just looking to receive some form of an update to know things are progressing still either as planned or if there's a new expected date/timeline. Can't wait to see how these come out!

Weird seeing a red dragon set featuring a black dragon with red hair...

They have different traits, a black dragon is wise and old while the red dragon is powerful and associated with happiness.

It is incredibly unlikely this is in end user hands this calendar year. Sets from March (Apollo) are leaving GMK now and I expect them in my hands here in the USA in a month, sets from August 2020 (Minimal r2) are already projected to January 2022. Q1 2022 is still under 18 months from GB close, which most but not all sets are approaching but not passing.

Just got this in the mail from CK:

Quote
GMK Red Dragon has unfortunately been delayed until Q4 2021.

Delivering this keyset is the highest level priority for us, and we have been working with GMK as closely as possible to get accurate timelines for our GB customers. Due to longer lasting effects of Covid manufacturing, resin supply has been difficult to secure in a timely manner. GMK has demonstrated to us and other vendors that they're doing what they can to resolve these issues, and we'll continue to press for updated timelines and communicate with you as soon as we have new information.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns, we're eager to get these keycaps in your hands.

Our sincere apologies,
The CannonKeys Team

Checking back here, have there been any updates behind the scenes, or are we still waiting on the new color matching samples to arrive from GMK &/or be accurate to proceed as per the January 2022 update on CanonKeys (see below)?

Quote
January 2022: We have gone through two rounds of color samples, and have gone ahead and requested a third sample. Once color matching is complete we will be able to give an ETA.

Understand GMK is facing many delays outside of anyone's control due to resin & related shortages, so no worries on my end, only curious.

That's entirely normal in certain light for black plastics to have a particular hue. I think it looks great and I think judging a set on a bad camera in bad lighting not white balanced is a waste of time. It's proven time and time again that the first photos coming out never match reality.

It could just be the lighting. Maybe those photos were taken in Jessica's room.

it's a good thing we as a community allowed rensuya to run many sets before realizing they're **** at delivering as advertised

The lighting does affect it. But various other photos seen on Rensuya's server shows the color clearly being off.

I joined the hobby when all the GMK Mizus were gone and was mm royalty and legit thought Rensuya was one of the BIG designers. I think Terra did ok. But everything else he did kinda just sucked. CK retro mizu was kinda a joke. There was the whole PnC thing. And then Moomin just very recently and the backpeddling handling that. And now Red Dragon... just disappointing...

Went from GMK Red Dragon to GMK Bad Dragon real quick XD
That color matching is dissapointing, but if the aftermarket sets are cheap I might grab one for my BF.
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, Twenty... Yeah that seems about right.
