Does anyone know how things will be handled by CandyKeys in regards to missing keys/replacements? I've ordered keycaps and deskmat together, so I guess I'm going to wait a little longer.
I reached out to CK, he says he'll see what he (David) can do. Do email to support about it and check out discord about future statuschanges.

Update: David just confirmed they will receive replacements, so do email about that if you want any. Maybe add a photo of your current icon mod set as proof you are eligible for replacements.

After a month of waiting my Light Alphas came in, they look fantastic! Will be looking forward to your next sets Kema!

I'm happy you like them! Thanks for sharing those great photos of your build on IG ✨

It's possible once GMK's backlog gets cleared a bit, I don't want a 1.5 year wait for buyers 😓

Still waiting to hear back on zFrontier/Candykeys deskpad status, but Yushakobo will be receiving theirs within a day or two. Will update this message when I know more 🙏

Edit 8/16: Candykeys mats in transit, zFrontier should have theirs

i will happily wait for GMK backlog if it means i can get this set in the future. i’m newer to this hobby - when there’s an R2 is there usually another release of desk mats as well? i would commit a crime to own that girl desk mat :-X

Could someone in here check if they have their R4 Caps Lock
and their R2 - (minus) 1u key for 1800 layouts?

I got a set aftermarket and my set is missing those two keys.

Notwithstanding the issues previously mentioned in the thread. The 1.25u Shift is also icon-only instead of icon-text. Is GMK dropping the ball here?

Oh gosh, it looks like they made the R2 – and R3 + into R1 and R2, also noticed it's wrong on the base kit render, however the reference layout I sent GMK has the correct R2/R3. I'll let TKC know and see if people can get replacements for those, so sorry about that. (Edit: have sent the details of this error over)

I can mail you my R4 Caps Lock since I'm not using it, send me a message on discord kema#8888 and I'll send it your way 🙏

For the 1.25u Shift, I was told they couldn't fit both the icon and text so it was defaulted to the icon alone.

Hi,

I just got the set aftermarket. Is there a missing R1 Pipe key?


I messaged the seller/trader and they found it!

Man you are out of luck, some extras sold yesterday in EU. Was able to cop both pads.
R2... dunno, probably when the keyset is going te be run again. Designer confirmed in this thread he wants to wait until the long GMK queues are over... so that may take a while. Although the deskpad was crazy popular and could be run seperatly from the keyset I guess.

No, not yet(EU=candykeys). TKC(usa) is the main vendor, so they send out to their customers and to other vendors. Check your local vendor/proxy if they recieved them yet.

Is this the fix kit we are talking about? That's the one I've received from Candy Keys with the main order.

Should I be expecting something more?

Noticed the problem just now as I waited a long time for my order with deskmat and just put the set in plastic bag on a shelf for a future build.

Just wanna up this thread as I don't think many vendors reached out to the gb participants to send to fixing kits, at least not mine.

I don’t think that GMK can handle this, that year they also promised to expand their production lines, but this did not happen, this year we see the same thing, many sets went to 2023, lol

oh, and their new packaging is just awful

Gmk actually responded with a statement. Im not linking the statement here but just search "the evolution of gmk" on google and you'll find it.

Their expansion was set for early 2021, but was delayed because of german lockdown and shouls be finnished by now. Im not sure if they has started accepting more sets, but they are making up the backlog now. (Some sets that ran after others might get ahead of this reason)

Edit: its 12weeks since the latest news. As seen on their instargram. Even though they are a mostly secret company they do share a little, i am worried though with the next wave of corona here in EU.

Yep... I've tried helping others that are also missing the key by referring them to the TKC staff member in charge of the set but it ultimately ends up going to their support team, I can really only recommend trying the support staff again (and again if they don't respond) 😣

I believe it was to keep the spacebar kit compact/lower cost and just provide support for base kit configs which most people will have ordered. Have you tried mechmarket? I'm sure there are people who have WS1 6u spacebars they're not using 🙏

So, after a very long back and forth I finally got my replacement kit only to find out that I got the wrong replacement kit. Apparently I have other issues with keys that haven't been highlighted yet and there are therefore no replacement kits for. My 1.25u shift is only icon when its supposed to be icon+text and while I also found a another issue regarding the ISO enter it seems to be a render only problem at least since im assuming its supposed to be the same as the ansi one although the render and sales page shows otherwise

Supposedly every kit got this flaw according to one of the vendors but I do have a hard time trusting that info considering the many issues with them.

Ah ****, I never noticed the 1.25u Shift issue since I'm not an ISO user, but I'll speak with TKC and request GMK to send replacements for those 😑
The enter looks right, the renders didn't have color applied to that legend for some reason.

Edit: Sent a message to TKC and updated the base kit render

Is it actually possible for GMK's backlog to clear up? There have been 2-3 new GMK sets in GB every week, so I was under the impression that wait times would continue to extend until delivery was expected after the heat death of the universe.

There used to be 4 a week and most made it, and now there’s less and a significant number don’t make it. It’ll get better, just not this year. If that’s a long time for you, and it’s totally fine for that to be true or not, GMK isn’t the way to go.

Personally I'm fine waiting 2 years for GMK caps to ship, but waiting for their backlog to shrink feels like an exercise in frustration.

I do understand why kema wouldn't want to run a r2 with a distant shipping date though. Must be a headache dealing with buyers foaming at the mouth after not receiving their keys in X months.

I really appreciate all the interest in a R2 but I have a couple other keycap projects I'd like to finish first! I do have plans for it at some point but not sure when atm, ultimately I'm just a hobbyist and just doing this stuff for fun, so I hope for some patience 🙏🙏
