Dumb question: why is this not being sold with the base kit? I think I've seen multiple add-ons for GMK WoB sold over the last few years but have never seen the base kit for sale. Will it ever be sold again?

These add-on kits have been designed to be a companion to Drop's GMK WoB base kit  :thumb:

Most vendors buy some number of extras, but given how weak recent GMK GBs have been, if you want the product to be made, buy it now.

Fundamentally if you 100% want the thing, all you're doing by waiting for extras is being okay paying a higher price + lowering the probability of you actually being able to buy the thing.

Not sure what kit you're talking about. CMYW has 4x Alts in Cyan (2 r4 and 2 r5). The extensions kit doesn't have 1u Alts because they are already in Drop's WoB kitting. The R5 kit has 2x Alts as well.

Question why is the dark rgb priced the same as the CMYW when there are few keys. Let me explain. The CMYW has more keys like it has the alt keys, super keys, and more which the dark rgb doesn't. So why isn't the dark rgb cheaper?

Oh, I didn't realize there were GMK sets sold directly from stores and not as limited run group buys.

UPDATE: Did it show up as in-stock for you? When I clicked the link it was out of stock. I clicked the button to request a new drop. How often does it come back in stock?

Also, it's often in stock on Amazon through Drop (currently in stock), albeit $10 more.

Yes, it was in stock when I posted the link.  It should be available again soon.

It's impossible to please everyone but we felt this was a necessary step to keep kitting sizes reasonable and differentiate this set; it's also the icon that we prefer. Thank you for your feedback!  :thumb:

R5 was non-negotiable for this set, running this set only in R4 would be a half-measure that we were not willing to take.
Thankfully as you mentioned there are more budget-oriented alternatives for the less discerning buyer :thumb:

The last CMYW GB was also 9 years ago; the one ran as a kit this year earlier with beige add-on was also $60.

If the gb runner sees fit, I am not sure what the problem with R5 is. I personally wouldn't have bought a kit if the set didn't have R5. Subsequently, if you don't feel like keeping the R5 keys I am sure there will be plenty people who would like to buy just the R5 keys so you can sell that part of the kit on if you'd like. I think it is better to have some extra keys which you may not use than to just ignore a portion of the community which actively enjoys it.

Why are people complaining about this set's kitting a week after GB has started? If you don't like the set pricing go for one of the alternatives; crying about it now is pointless. Not like the kitting will change mid-GB. Also, if a 25$ difference after so many years is honestly the biggest concern for you, your money can probably be used better off on something other than keycaps....

There’s no denying that these kits are on the pricier side and very large but we worked as hard as possible so that you can stretch the most value out of each accent kit.
- Each accent kit has enough support to be thrown onto 2 builds such as a 6.25u bottom row keyboard with full right shift and a 7u keyboard with split right shift or vise versa.
- By adding an icon mod kit you can also kit out two complete boards of the same layout. (ie: R4 with icon mods and R5 with text + icon mods or vice versa).
As mentioned earlier, R5 was a non-negotiable mainstay in this set for us. We designed this set primarily to serve a gap in the existing mod kits as well as to meet our needs; not copy previous kits with extremely limited kitting.

I complained long time ago, but it was brushed over and the price was not released. It is not the $ amount, I do not like paying stuff that I will never use. I have over 15 GMK sets and not a single R5 kit. Looks like CMYW is struggling to hit MCQ so clearly I am not the only one.

You weren’t brushed off on the IC, I responded to your concerns then. We are proud of this kitting and it was designed with our personal preferences in mind, if you have such a strong distaste for R5 you have other options already mentioned on this thread. :thumb:

The numbers for CMYW are looking quite healthy at this point in the GB with no vendor extras yet and a majority of the sales coming in during the last week. Dark RGB also has R5 and is the best performing set of the GB so far.

Nothing is stopping you from running another CMYW kit without R5. As stated by blunt, personal preference was taken into account for the same. You can try running a GB and stop complaining about your preferences in someone else's GB thread. There was a time and a place for you to voice your concern and we're past that.

I think it is better to have some extra keys which you may not use than to just ignore a portion of the community which actively enjoys it.

the smart move would have separate R5 kit for ppl who do enjoy it, why force R5 down ppl's throat

smart move would be to get your money up not your funny up

bro I didn't know what the other guy's problem was but not everyone is a millionare lmao, I feel like your comment is insulting the other person's financial income lmao like it's reasonable to ask why the more expense and these people hate to buy a 10 cent bag so not liking a 25 dollar extra fee is understandable but that doesn't mean you come in here and insult his financial income lol


This hobby is an extreme luxury if 25$ is the deciding factor on you buying something/not buying keycap sets, there are better usages of your money. Even if you REALLY want to buy something, you can avoid GMK and buy Keykobo. This is an extension on an already (relatively) expensive keyset. It is literally a luxury on top of a luxury, 25$ shouldn't be such a big point of discussion.

i am actually looking to buy 4 sets, I have a few of WoB kits i like to dress up, that is $25x4=$100 worth of useless R5 caps that i will never use, must be nice to be able to throw around $100 bills into the abyss

Thankfully as you mentioned there are more budget-oriented alternatives for the less discerning buyer :thumb:

not falling for useless snob kitting doesn't mean being less discerning

if anything it's the opposite

There’s no denying that these kits are on the pricier side and very large but we worked as hard as possible so that you can stretch the most value out of each accent kit.
- Each accent kit has enough support to be thrown onto 2 builds such as a 6.25u bottom row keyboard with full right shift and a 7u keyboard with split right shift or vise versa.
- By adding an icon mod kit you can also kit out two complete boards of the same layout. (ie: R4 with icon mods and R5 with text + icon mods or vice versa).
As mentioned earlier, R5 was a non-negotiable mainstay in this set for us. We designed this set primarily to serve a gap in the existing mod kits as well as to meet our needs; not copy previous kits with extremely limited kitting.

respectable tones and reply. appreciate it. snagging the dark mods kit bc you deserved it

I have joined the GB, thank you to the organizers to put this together which is not an easy task, dealing with us picky buyers. At the end I regret some of the decisions the organizers took, but I understand most of them. As many other buys this one have something for each one that will not be available anywhere else ever.

Have asked but unfortunately not a lot of updates from vendors so I have nothing to report.

Looks like everything is close to hitting MOQ naturally other than CMYW (currently reported @ 114/250 with outdated numbers).

You've made your hate boner for R5 very clear throughout this thread; you are welcome to purchase alternatives. I'd appreciate if you didn't promote them on this GB thread and kept it on topic.
We are proud of the kitting decisions made in this GB and consider it a success.

Last day to purchase ya'll!

Criminal - CMYW is the most essential of all these essential kits.

Only you can weigh how likely you are to regret vs your tolerance to spend money, but from where I'm sitting it looks like you're well on your way to regretting not buying it.

Extras for calculations, not for sale. That said, plenty of vendors sell extras before shipping and have done so for years.

We should be in a position to chargeback as it’s been about 3 months since the GB closed. I think most credit card companies allow chargebacks within a 6 month window from the date of transaction

Thanks for the transparency, ankit. Not your fault- this sucks for all of us.

If we're able to get the money back and still want in on the GB, do you have any plans to offer an alt US vendor?

Maybe DeskHero as for CAN? They've had great service and reasonable shipping to USA, in my experiences with them.

@ Anyone seeking a refund for the M&C-- the limit for "merchandise not received" chargeback is 540 days for Visa/MasterCard. 120 for Amex/Discover.

Edit: Realized it's ApexK for CAN- no experience w them but maybe great too.

How are you explaining the charge back to the credit card companies? I hate to confuse them more and use terms like "groupbuy" or anything else that may complicate the matter. I'm finding difficulty explaining it. Merchant did not go under yet and making promises of resolution and fulfillment is technically not past due. Any suggestions on verbiage?

If you previously had a GB order with Mechs & Co but still want your sets of GMK WoB Essentials, please email support@oblotzky.industries with a screenshot of your order confirmation. Oblotzky is offering to recreate Mechs & Co orders at GB pricing for Mechs & Co customers while supplies last

I don't wish to seem insensitive to M&Co buyers and hope they can get stuff from Oblo or elsewhere but I'm wondering if the production's progressing smoothly? We're not quite in Q4 yet but just wondering if that still looks possible.

This gb was always estimated to ship Q1 2024, not sure where you are getting Q4 2023 from.

Im confused what's the point on discounted sets if you already paid on Mechs & Co and they DONT let you chargeback? Wouldn't it make sense to refund Original price-Discount price for the people who already paid on Mechs & Co. SO basically isn't this whole discounted thing to make ppl buy extra sets ON TOP of the gmk sets they already bought on Mechs & Co for discounted prices on Novelkeys?

The paid sets are the only sets that have that disclaimer, as those are being fulfilled with no costs. There are no disclaimers for any of the other sets.

I think you are misunderstanding what is happening here.
There are no refunds available for Mechs and Co orders, as both GMK and NK never recieved the money from any of those orders.

It clearly looks like you've misunderstood what's going on. Moreover, after looking at your post history, you specifically say


Alright, hope I can grab the extras then.

So I'm not sure what exactly you're complaining about here

Huhh? So I'm confused then how the whole discounted sets are going to work if a refund isn't offered. I thought it they will refund a buyer their money and then the buyer sends proof they were on the gb and then Novelkeys lets them rebuy the product for a discounted price.

Your money was stolen by Mechs and Co. There are no refunds to be had. Are you suggesting NK pays for Mechs and Co's theft out of their pockets? Why would they do that?

you are the only one complaining about the very generous resolution offered by NK for GB participants
I can confirm that NK is selling sets at cost from GMK, whether or not you chose to believe that is obviously up to you

your options at this point are:
1. not purchasing the set again (you will not receive it)
2. purchasing the set at the discounted price from NK
3. purchasing the set at full price

no other resolutions will be offered at this time
