There's been near radio-silence from GMK in the past few weeks, understandable given Germany's effort to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.

GMK did post on Reddit about their new environmentally-friendly packaging recently, but that's all I've heard from them. Cherry corp also posted an April Fool's joke.

I'm glad Germany is taking serious measures to reduce the outbreak, and if that means delayed GMK sets, I'm fine with that. I just wish GMK was more communicative about what is going on. It concerns me that GMK is still accepting GBs as if they are going to run on schedule. The COVID-19 and subsequent economic crisis is going to affect both production and shipping for what is likely to be a long time.

It's a shame that they can release a post about their new packaging, but not GB statuses.

Why do we pay white tax, to GMK? To be ghosted. A simple message communicating a delay seems necessary, the radio silence just shows the level of professionalism. KAT Milkshake is also delayed, they released an updated timeline with deferred dates.

****ty of GMK to not communicate. I understand the delays, I do not understand the hesitance to communicate.

Honeywell is also getting ready to ship, from what I understand. It was scheduled for around the same time as 9009.

What does that mean exactly?
Does it meant that it ships on that day. That they plan on finishing production that day? Perhaps something entirely different :blank:

They send invoice just before posting it, so you should get one soon.

Apparently, GMK is sending fix kits to people who have already received their sets.

There was an issue with the modifiers. You can see a photo of the kit here:

I may be wrong but the kit on the right looks like GMK Missing Keys, not sure what official fix kit that poster is referring too?

edit: sounds like a joke about the centered mods that fell flat

HungerMechanic · « **Reply #175 on:** Sat, 30 May 2020, 22:58:28 »

Ahhh, that makes sense. I was wondering how one of the main features of the set could have gone wrong like that.

I guess we'll see honest impressions of the new centered mods come trickling in. Not sure how I feel about it.

Yes, it was just a joke by someone from the german community. We have lots of OG keycap sets floating around with OG icon modifiers. To some of us it looks very unusual to see the OG colorway with the new "corrected" modifiers. So sometimes, we tend to make jokes about it.
None of us hate or dislike Janglad or Dixie for making the modifiers, infact they look good. In our specific context it just looks weird to see those new modifiers with the OG colorway - that's all.

Thx, mate.
It helps me a lot, since there is every 10th GMK set only has an international kit and then I have to still like the colorway etc., this has become my most important source of keycaps.
I have boards with modern GMK sets as well... but relying on OG is a great help for ISO-DE users.

These will be new molds, so the odds are good the quality will be fine I think. Also plenty of people have received these EU-side, and no complaints yet.

GMK has made replacement keys for that set and been pretty transparent about it. You can send a message to the vendor you bought the set from regarding those.

Regardless, these are new moulds as pr0ximity said so shouldn't be any problems.

Definitely possible. Print and Scroll are also completely crooked and this definitely affects multiple sets (everyone I talked to had the same issues with those keycaps). Great QC from GMK for 9009 R3.

How's your "Print" and "Scroll" looking?
One mine they look like on the photo by pr0ximity. "P" and "r" of "Print" are noticeably lower than "int" and on "Scroll" it's tilted to the right with "ll" being the worst part.

Wut? They didn't center enter icons, they use the same molds as og icons (which isn't centered, but neither are their "new" centered icons so there's that

)

As for WoB/BoW, replacements have arrived and look good.
