Been watching this one as a lurker for a while. Excited, and curious to see the Asero artisan and nerdcable collab too!
Is there an ETA on those and quantity?
Thanks and yes I am looking forward for collabs.
Do you have any discord server?
Best of luck! Though can you clarify what you mean by a delay? Are you referring to a future collab or should we expect delays to the fulfillment of this group buy? Thanks!

First of all, thanks for the good wishes!
To answer your question, there is no delay for the GMK Trüffelschwein groupbuy.
To clarify, the delay is only for our artisan collaboration timing with Artkey Universe due to the reasons stated.
It will for sure be made, do not worry!
Can we get a final tally?
Hope the numbers are going to be okay!
quick question, where will you going to put the group buy updates later on? geekhack, discord or anything else?
thanks!
Just got a sequence of interesting emails from DailyClack.

Did the RAMA artisans get cancelled, or is this just a DailyClack issue?
EDIT:
Just as an update, this is an email from RAMA I saw on the DailyClack Discord.

Seems like daily clack can post their side of why they made a moral stand with other peoples money?

I will not be posting any updates regarding the Daily Clack's Rama Artisan cancellation until I have all the facts straight.
My number one priority at the moment is providing the option to purchase the Truffelschwein Ramas for the customers that still want them.
Should a sales page go up to purchase them, I will make sure I get an update on the lead time as well.

More like your number one priority is taking people money for your own sake and not bothering to communicate any updates after the fact.
No colour matching updates, No proactive communication in months, no indication of this sets status.
Pathetic.
Colors have been approved.Thanks for the update!
Realistically, Pantone 2337C was the only color that needed approval.
RAL 5004 is the same color as GMK Sumi that underwent a very lengty color approval process that finally got approved.

Also, Mech's & Co update was slightly too eager.
The color approval just happened on Jan 17th, whereas their website have been reflecting that since an earlier date.
Banderole Design is almost finished, it is not "completed" as reflected on their site. I reached out to them to make the correction.
Thank you
Is this shipping to vendors yet?
Will this set be impacted by the recent Mechs an Co issues?
Looks like the Mechs and Co situation got worse. Should we be charging back? Or???
Hello everyone,
Most of you are aware of the Mechs & Co situation,
I spent the past few weeks trying to find out if they would be able to fulfill this set.
Mike from Mechs & Co put out an annoucement July 1st, on their discord channel saying they would be working to fulfill the orders,
But as of today, they are silent again.
I dont want people to keep waiting hoping for the best.
I would highly advise everyone work with their credit card company for a chargeback.
This reddit post has people providing advice on what to do,
https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/14n21mo/63023_update_psa_regarding_mechs_co_and_vendor/
Short version is, they are encouraging talking to a person over the phone for the chargeback process, with the reason "Goods Not Received"
Most credit card companies will try to deny the claim due to it being outside of the dispute window, since this GB ran about 2 years ago.
But people have had luck calling multiple times to talk to different reps.
Please note this as well.
"MasterCard, Visa, and American Express Credit Card Networks typically support between 360-540 days for a dispute, but it is best to submit one before the 1 year mark when possible.
Also note that you may need to escalate to a supervisor, and specify that the items you ordered were Never Shipped, thus your chargeback reason is for Goods Not Shipped."
They will try to tell you it's outside of the 540 day for a dispute, but keep trying!
Once the dispute is in place, it is highly likely you'll get your money back, since Mechs & Co is not responding to anyone.
Usually a "no response" from the vendor during a dispute process is a win for the consumer.
Jae from prototypist also put out this statement, for those that still want to grab a set.

So where are the Ramas? I bought them because you said 4 months for fulfilment
What is happening with the deskmats? I saw prototypist cancelled their order due to delays. I was hoping to grab a couple.
Big props for Cannonkeys to pick up the GMK terror below delivery. Any chance they can do Truffelschwein too?
So where are the Ramas? I bought them because you said 4 months for fulfilment
Yeah, I reached out to them, and I'm not getting any response.
Non of the vendors that I know received them.
Rama has been fulfilling them at their own pace, and have not been responsive to any vendors.
The whole issue with Rama started after I ran my GB, so very unfortunate timing...What is happening with the deskmats? I saw prototypist cancelled their order due to delays. I was hoping to grab a couple.
I think the only vendor that will make the deskmats will be iLumKb through their own source.
M&C was the lead vendor that was supposed to distribute the deskmats to the other vendors.
Finally got some updates from Rama.
Truffelschwein Rama Artisans are currently in mirror polishing phase and will start the PVD coating process early next month.
PVD process takes about 2 week.
Then they will be laser etched and sent to Rama warehouse.
More updates to come
If you purchased GMK CYL Trüffelschwein and did not chargeback, please fill out this google form here. NovelKeys has received these sets and will fulfill for impacted customers for the cost of shipping.

Really appreciate NK picking this up. I filled out the form earlier but haven't received a link to the product page yet, is that out yet or did I miss it?

Looks like the rama caps exist, I just don't know where the rest of them is...
That is messed up beyond belief, I'm very curious how they got it.
I've been in contact with Rama, and every time I email them, it takes about 2 months to get a response.
Their last response was telling me the production finished in September 2023, and they were on their way to their warehouse.
I asked if they could possibly send it to Novelkeys for fulfillment, since Mechs & Co doesn't exist (this was in December 2023)
But I haven't heard anything back since.
I'm going to reach out to them again asking about fulfillment and alos tell them about the Rama caps showing up on ebay.
Rama exit scammed the hobby like Mechs & Co a while ago. They're not gonna do anything. Hence why Omnitype had to drop their pending order with Rama months agoThat is messed up beyond belief, I'm very curious how they got it.
