Oh wow congrats!

Hello friends,

Been very busy these few days sorting out a few things in addition to SKIDATA+, and will be finalizing the order over the weekend.


Notice: Due the the amount of requests to join SKIDATA+ past the deadline, as well as requests to add Base Sets/Colour Packs/Relegendable Sets to pre-existing orders, I will allow people to make the very last few additions to before the end of Saturday (Canada time).

If you have a pre-existing order, please give me all of your order numbers. If not, please give me your email address, and what you would like to order, so I can send you a manual invoice (which must be paid promptly, since we are placing the order with GMK very soon.)



I am only allowing this, because I have heard the bad news that the Vietnam GB was cancelled, and would like to offer this opportunity for those who might have been affected by this, or otherwise missed the deadline.

Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update, and thanks again everyone for the interest, support and excitement over the GB. I'm doing my best to have it sorted out.

I'll be quiet for a bit, but will post whenever I have something new.

Cheers

I'm guessing the Vietnamese GB falling through hasn't affected out MOQ? I am going to put mine on my new G81-1800 I think

We're still good on MOQ! Proxy GB's don't affect our numbers, as I prefer to collect them afterwards, on top of the GH orders. Skidata is practically 1800, would be awesome, but MY switches, yuck.. Hope you swap them out or something!

I'll be taking last minute additions and orders for a few hours more, and afterwards I'll send out all the requested invoices.

If you're ordering, please also tell me your location (Country), it will help with determining what sort of shipping to assign, thanks.

Just wondering if the proxy numbers affect the extra surprises you mentioned earlier in the thread?

[Karura]

Nope, won't be a problem at all.

I've finished sending out invoices to all the latecomers, and final additions. Please have them paid promptly, thanks!

Will soon arrange to pay GMK, once I can confirm final GB order numbers, sorry for the small delay due to the extension, but should not affect our production schedule.

If anyone wants to sell the 1800 mods once this comes in I'll take 'em off you hands. I'm hoping these match with the Charcoal/orange GMK from the past?

They'll have a much more vibrant color. It might be the kind of difference that's just barely enough to bother you.

[ideus]

I need some 7u space bars. Wanna help?

I'm already mixing an original Skidata set with the Charcoal and Orange so what would it look like? I would just like to get the correct numpad profile keys for my 1800.

Yeah, to be honest you'll probably be fine. GMK might be a bit more defined than OG skidata, but I don't think you'll notice a difference.

I do not know why I do love you.

[Karura]

The difference between Charred Orange and Skidata wouldn't be drastic, but Charred Orange looks "faded" so it's more a subtle difference.

However, if you are using backlit LEDs, Charred Orange becomes ridiculously light-bleedy and you would notice it immediately.

Under normal light without LEDs, you can see the Skidata is more opaque and vibrant.

At a glance, you might not see the differences, but it is painfully obvious when comparing the two Q's and M's.

Skidata is just opaque, so the Orange doesn't get "darkened" by the dark grey base below it, but recent GMK productions have been more "translucent", which leads to less crisp looking legends. (It is a top priority to have SKIDATA+ produced to be just like the OG Skidata).

Left: Charred Orange, Right: OG Skidata (Photo creds go to JaccoW, a crucial contributor to the project with information )

[L4yercake]

Yeah I already have OG Skidata and Charred (mixed on an 1800 board) was just curious how if I then got someone to sell me their new Skidata 1800 numpad mods how it would all work together would look. I guess I'd have to decide if I prefer bad profiling vs colour differences 

That is if anyone were to decide to sell their mods

Definitely! I personally loved Charred Orange as well and ran it with Skidata on my LZ CP.

That said, don't you have OG Skidata 1800 numpad? That has the keys in the proper profile that you're looking for. Regardless, best of luck and hope you can find what you are looking for.

Hello folks, just wanted to give a heads up that I'm well and alive, and working on the orders still.

I'm posting this in response to recent vendors or GB runners becoming unresponsive and uncommunicative, and just wanted to talk a little.

I do have things in my private life that I spend time on, and other obligations that I need to uphold before anything else, but I feel it's not right to take people's money and ignore people for weeks. So on that note, I will continue to allocate enough time and efforts to make sure things are done on schedule and smoothly, as I have been doing all along.

The cables should pair perfectly with Skidata+, make sure to posts some pics when both arrive. I've been using the cables that came with my Pok3rs for all my boards, I need to step my game up.

Me too haha - this is my first custom cable even though I own a **** ton of cable sleeving stuff for when I did my PC

[wodan]

If you're still looking for nice custom cables to go with your Skidata caps, Pexon currently has a few Christmas cables on sale and one's orange. Got one for my Skidata Pok3r.

Colors don't match perfectly but it's good enough for me

If you want something closer, the Chantrelle or Orange Camo colours from Pexon would be bang on I think. Either that or the Corrosion colour from the Zombie paracord range.

I just saw ZealPC offering a flat handling fee for EU imports, didn't realize that when i placed my order. Is this generally applicable for the Skidata group buy or just for his other store items ?

Would really love to add this service to my order !!!

Once again for clarity's sake, SKIDATA+ is hosted on ZealPC only for payment purposes, and will not be handled and shipped out via ZealPC, so I'm afraid it won't be possible to do that, since SKIDATA+ will be shipped out from a different location altogether.

On that note, happy holidays and merry Christmas everyone! It's going to be an exciting new year, and I hope everyone is looking forward to it.

[Jumie]

I would take this from anyone who want to take part with their purchase, unless I can still late join this which I think most likely not.

[Dizeee23]

Update on this? Thanks!

[Steezus]

Karura will give an update when there is one to give. If there is nothing going on and just waiting for production then there's no need to update. He's been doing just fine with updates.

Hey guys.

I'm constantly lurking and alive, and have been consistently replying to order changes PMs and stuff. Feel free to message if you have any order info changes.

Will post updates if anything significant changes, but so far it's still a waiting game.

That said, I do have new content to show everyone.

GMK had made us some renders for the Relegendables, since some people were confused as to what they would look like.



In addition, there will be 4 more blanks, and each Relegendables cap will also come with an Orange top in addition to the clear one. Would be nice for the user to choose how they want to use it.

That's all for now, like Steezus mentioned, I'd happily give updates when we have news, but right now it's just a waiting game, and thank you for being patient.

[Jokrik]

Everytime I see you post Karura, it makes my day

professionalism too damn high

This GB is legendarily arranged

[gadzkun]

dat render make my day~~

glad joined this gb and ordered relegendable.
charcoal + orange top that would be too fakin awesome!!! it just like an artisan caps..

[cooldiscretion]

I just realized the Keythulu in this pic from OP looks pretty much like one of the relegendables with a blue cap and an orange Octopus on it. Pretty cool.


That would be cool to be able to swap out the Keythulu top part just like a relegendable, except put on different color Keythulus. Although I'm sure this probably will never happen, it would be swag.

I really hope I get something in the artisan raffle, it was part of what pushed me over the edge in joining the GB.  Love the Keythulu and Slofi!

Somebody bought a bunch, because Karura was saying from the start that the groupbuy would have "no trouble reaching moq".
