Yeah, Janglad did a great job!

I wanted renders on as many types of boards and colors as possible, as I think Nines is a really versatile set in terms of what you could use it on!

nasp · « **Reply #111 on:** Thu, 02 May 2019, 16:40:12 »

Ok, I had to get in on this N9 goodness. You took my money. I hope you are happy now!!

On a more serious note, if you were on the fence about Kono store, they shipped out GMK Calm Depths very quickly so I wouldn't worry about making a purchase from them. Thanks for delivering on constructive criticism, Kono store!

The price is based on 250 moq, so I am sorry to say that there is no planned price break at this tier. It was a risk on our end, and I am very happy it sold as well as it did!

I'm really surprised that this hasn't sold more kits, but 300+ orders is still great. Can't wait to get mine.

Thank you for the support! Can't wait myself.

I think it'll pick up today before it ends, I estimate somewhere around 350ish sets sold, which IMO is beyond my personal expectation given the circumstances and the simple characteristics of the set.

It's been great, thank you all for the support across DMs, Discords, Reddit, this thread, instagram and everywhere else - it means a lot!

Considering the massive other GMK GBs going on at the same time, these numbers don't surprise me too much. Lots of competition and Nines still did reasonably well!

Hadi · « **Reply #119 on:** Fri, 03 May 2019, 15:38:37 »

Finally caved. All of the colorful sets lately make muted designs that much more appealing.

Finally pay for GMK Nines before I forgot!

Looking forward to it.

Waiting for replies about this from vendors, I have given them some more time because me and vendors were a bit slow in sending out the invoices.

Total sales with final numbers from Kono and Mykeyboard is at 363, awaiting final numbers from KBDFans as well! It is still open on kbdfans but should be closed any moment now, so if you still want Nines, hurry up on kbdfans before close down!

Depending on how many KBDFans sold, we could be at 500 sets sold!!

Haha I wish that was the case, sorry for being unclear. 363 is counting kbdfans latest update, a few days ago, but not their final number.

Emir · « **Reply #124 on:** Mon, 13 May 2019, 05:01:53 »

Long overdue update - but here it is!

Numbers: exactly 400 sold sets - thank you everyone! If I knew it was this close to 500 earlier, I would have maybe extended the buy and pushed for some sort of goodwill for purchasers.

Vendors are currently paying GMK, and production should start shortly.
There will be extras at all vendors, but very limited numbers!

Artisans will be produced around June or july, before the actual set is ready to ship. I think most people have paid, I'm only awaiting reply from kbdfans regarding one customer.

All in all, things are going smoothly and I hope we have a great set in our hands around august!

Hi Everyone, small update to keep ya'll in the loop.

Kono has extras up for pre-order at mark up price:
https://kono.store/products/gmk-nines-keycap-set

I commissioned hisui (behind the art of Mizu, peaches & cream and more) to do as simplistic of a box package design as possible - and here we go:

I know some might think it's underwhelming, but my intended goal was reached where we cut out anything unnecessary - for example it doesn't even feature my name. I am happy; a simplistic banderole for a simplistic set!

As far as production goes, the final kit has been confirmed with GMK which means production should be under way. Unfortunately there have been quite a few delays due to logistics that were out of my control, but we should be on track now!

I really like the box art. Thank you for sharing it. Huge fan of hisui's work on Mizu and PNC. Did someone say deskmat?

Emir · « **Reply #128 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 13:51:38 »

Ok so big news!

GMK will add a novelty to each kit for free - but I am kind of out of ideas.

I will reach out to hisui and see if we can work something out.

In the meanwhile, any ideas of what you want? Novelties aren't really my thing (neither are artisans, as we noticed...)

Edit: should we replicate the artisan onto a normal key?

Koriko · « **Reply #129 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 15:11:07 »

Any chance of that novelty being similar to the Rama one that was originally going to be run? I was really bummed when it was announced that it wasn't running. Either that or just an X like 9s's choker charm would be dope.

nasp · « **Reply #130 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 15:11:53 »

I like the Roman Numeral nine the best. So similar to this but replaced with IX

Sure, we can run that design that I had initially for the Rama cap. This? I think it was initially hineys idea from the TC discord.

Yeah! I know I was certainly bummed out when it was dropped from the buy.

Chewwy · « **Reply #133 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 17:23:21 »

+1 for the IX/IX novelty cap

Furikurichemy · « **Reply #134 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 18:48:07 »

I'd think the original IX only design would look great.

LevelSteam · « **Reply #135 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 21:57:12 »

I think the rama IX/IX or just plain IX would be the best options.

rondg · « **Reply #136 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 22:15:26 »

How about a keycap that has "U9" and another that has "N9"?

EDIT: typo

Furikurichemy · « **Reply #137 on:** Tue, 04 June 2019, 22:39:10 »

ooohhh sublegend the u and n keys. That would be cool!

Edit: or..... a 9s key

nettik · « **Reply #138 on:** Wed, 05 June 2019, 00:14:30 »

I like the IX only design too! I also got really lucky and bought one of the extra sets when they were still the GB price.

Emir · « **Reply #139 on:** Wed, 05 June 2019, 05:24:42 »

Thank you for all the feedback everyone!

As it looks now, I'll have both IX / IX drawn up, as well as the centered "IX" and decide from there. It'll be one of these two.

flippanteer · « **Reply #140 on:** Wed, 05 June 2019, 12:39:10 »

Make that the novelty key and it can be either the well-known Tab key on the 40s or a TIE for the nuttier among us.

Yes, but I think he/she meant two separate keys with sublegends - so U with 9 sublegend and N with a 9 sublegend, but I could be mistaken. Not sure if GMK is allowing one or two novelty keys though.
