GMK Noel
Live in April 2020 on https://gmknoel.com/

Inspired by the character Noel from Celestial Method, this set aims to bring the cute and endearing theme onto GMK keycaps through light pastel colours and adorable novelty motifs.

Colour Samples
Album Link

GMK WS2 for White
RAL 010 80 20 for Pink
RAL 210 85 15 for Light Blue
RAL 230 70 30 for Dark Blue

Colours were initially colour-matched with a physical sample from the source, with "Pastel Pink", "Fine Blue" and "Fitness Blue" being the final custom colours used after playing with similar colours to see which variants would work best for the set. WS2 was chosen over the typical WS1 as it provides a more cooler tone, which helps define and tie in the overall theme better.

We're off to an amazing start to GMK Noel!
Thanks to everyone who was able to join the Group Buy on Day 1!

Day 1 Numbers: (Please keep in mind some vendor(s) have yet to submit and/or numbers are delayed)
Base: 162
Hiragana: 62
Extension: 19
Novelties: 63
Deskmat Blue: 24
Deskmat Pink: 10

We've almost reached the MOQ targets for almost all kits in Day 1!!! Extensions needs some love, so if you're looking to purchase one later, be sure to purchase it ASAP so that we can guarantee it gets made. I am committed to getting every kit to MOQ, and am willing to buy a majority to ensure it happens. But we need all your help to make it happen!

And thanks to all of you for making this all possible! I couldn't imagine a world last year where I'd be designing a keyset for the community, and to see it right now being made a reality, is simply awe-inspiring.

There has been a small issue with Deskhero sales, so if you have bought a hiragana or novelties kit through them, an email will be sent through regarding it within the following day.

Sorry for the late reply!

The Keypora was raffled off before GB on the 28th, but you'll have a chance to obtain the Sirius on the 15th this month.
These artisans are open for anyone to join!

More info will be announced here and on our discord when we get more details on it.

Hey everyone! Thanks to all of you for the strong week 1 numbers, we couldn't have done it without y'all!

Tentative Week 1 Numbers: (As of April 8, outdated on 4 vendors)
Base: 372
Hiragana: 131
Extension: 39
Novelties: 169
Deskmat Blue: 52

At the moment, it looks like everything will be made apart from possibly Extensions kit, so let's show some love for the smaller boards by picking one up today! I am committed to getting every kit made, and will be able to buy a portion to ensure that happens if we don't reach MOQ by the end of GB.

These two sentences seem to contradict each other. Are you or other vendors going to buy up the rest of the Extension kit if it doesn't hit MOQ? Or are you planning on buying up the rest only if it gets close enough to MOQ that you feel it's worth it?

And if Extensions doesn't hit MOQ, are people that ordered Extensions given the option for a full refund, or just for Extensions?

Thanks, I love the set and really hope all kits get made!

Hey, sorry for not making it clear at the start. Vendors will be buying some extras, and if that isn't enough to reach MOQ, I will personally be buying kits until it gets made. How much so is dependent on the success of our other kits, but I'd be happy to buy at least 10-20 kits to ensure no one gets left behind.

GMK bleached uses the same WS2 bright white, and I -think- that’s a 2u split in there. That buy starts tomorrow. Honestly, from someone who buys bars kits for just the 2.25/2.75u, you can probably find someone to just sell you that one...

2u split spacebar is included in Extensions Kit. As for 2u shift, unfortunately there isn't much I can change now once quotes are done. I'll try to get it added, but I can't make any promises. Sorry about that.

Today is the final day for all vendors!
Be sure to Get Noel for No L

Thanks to everyone for making this such a successful Group Buy, which in my mind means that all kits are made so that no one gets left behind, which we surpassed less than halfway through it!

In other news, we'll be collaborating with CYSM caps to bring you some very cute artisans we'd think you'd enjoy!
There will be about 150 caps being raffled off, so you'll have a good chance on getting that No L!

As for the artisan sales time, it will be as of the following:
Boba - 4AM GMT, 1st of May
Booo - 8AM GMT, 1st of May
Keyby - 12PM GMT, 1st of May

All raffle forms will open for 4 hours and payment period will be 12 hours from receiving respective invoices. Links to forms will be provided on the discord server once open. Best of luck to everyone!
