Really disappointed with GMK Apollo.  I should have payed more attention to the modifier lengths and what keeb I was planning for it.
I assumed that it would have more than 2 1.25u Novelty keys, but I was wrong.
I am also disappointed with the quality.  The legends are very crisp, but the manufacturing marks on the back and underside of the keys are really rough.  I have $30 Chinese key caps that do a better job.

just sell your set to me so you can get 7 chinese **** clones instead and be happy  :thumb:

Not every key is this bad, only some, but for $200, I feel like they should not have a saw tooth edge.

Every key has this manufacturing defect.  Most key sets I have also have a similar bump, but they are on the bottom, not the back.  I have a prime_e, and I use 2 keys flipped backwards (backspace and space bar), so I have these defects staring at me.  If it was a less pricey set I would not mind, but for the price (and the almost 2 year wait) I was expecting more.

I wouldn't call this a defect - Cherry and GMK have always produced keycaps like this, from original Cherry doubleshots, early GMK sets, to modern sets.  The doubleshotting process that GMK uses looks slightly different than Chinese manufactures that use a larger inner piece to fit into the surrounding keycap.  The plastic piece used for the font on GMK is smaller and inner walls aren't as separated.  I guess that doesn't matter since GMK has more consistent legends than any Chinese keycap set I've seen.

The underside of my car looks rough. Its not as nice as the top.
Also, I like to drive in reverse but am limited to only one gear that drives in that direction. I'm very disappointed.

Apollo extras for US customers will go live: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 @ 11AM PDT via. Mekibo

You can purchase multiple kits, but only 1 of each. e.g: 1 novelty, 1 base

Good luck all!

I got a response from Candykeys for those waiting on ortho kits. They told me they were only sent a very limited number of ortho sets, and they are aware kits are missing from orders. They're working to resolve the issue now.
waiting for ortho kit yet...

Received my set and it looks great. I'd attach a pick of them on my Rukia r2, but... maybe holding your breath for that isn't the best option.  :))

Too scared to order from Candy Keys, so probably will have to skip this one :(

Should have listened to my gut feeling, lmao. So bad.

@octix I assume you working hard to find a solution for the people who ordered 40s kits that seem to be missing?

Any updates? I’m still waiting for my 40s kit unfortunately. I might as well ask for a refund as it doesn't fill me with confidence this will be solved. I'm still waiting 6 months after GB has shipped, lol.
Am I the only one who ordered 40s kit from Candy Keys?
