Got the base kit few weeks ago. I just hope GMK will have better spacebars when this ships out next year.

I didn't want to get it because I'm in KAT Atlantis.. but ended up saying screw it and grabbing this one too.
I just love the colorway.

I was dead set on getting the dark set but now that the deadline is approaching I am really starting to like the light set. Can't decide what to pull the trigger on now and unfortunately I really shouldn't spend the money on both.

Edit: What color are the legends on the light kit alphas? The renders look black, is that correct or is it actually dark blue? I'm thinking if they are black I could just get the dark kit and if I ever decide I want the look of the light kit I could just throw on alphas from Bow or Minimal

The legends are the same color as the dark set's alpha key colors. 533C

This is exactly the thought I've been having. I can imagine it on the Think 6.5 PC with the light set. The Dark set might be better for deep ocean...

I ended up going with the light set. The dark caught my eye first but the light set just looks better and better the more I look at it. Hopefully I don't regret it when it comes in.

Thank you for getting this grail set in the queue. Any idea on how many extras will be available? Hoping I can grab an extra set or two when the time comes.

Should we expect this to be delayed from the original ETA?

I'm betting the house Mako arrives first. It's going under QC and will be shipped within a month. Hammerhead hasn't even started production..

The problem is that the GMK is the only good keycap manufacture of cherry profile keycaps (JTK is good too but their lead time is almost the same)

We received an update on timeline here. Resin shortages have caused massive delays on all keycap sets. Currently this is scheduled to complete production October, 2021. Customers should receive the sets in November.

Thanks Mike for the update. So we are officially at the time were GMK turnarounds are at a year and a half, what a nonsense.

That's for me and GMK sets for the foreseeable future, can't be bothered with these delays time and time again

I don't really get what all the hoopla is about when it comes to GMK. The quality does not seem all that better then the cheaper companies. The Akko and taihao caps i have don't seem much worst, at all..
And GMK's renowned legend sharpness looks pretty... meh, to me.

I'd be interested to see a step by step behind the scenes of how GMK produce keycaps. Yea we've read what the steps are but I'd like to see video of it... Just so I can better understand how producing keyboard keycaps can take a year and a half. I'd also like to know at what point did the consumer of these keycaps become okay with such long waiting periods. It's truly absurd. If they extended the waittimes to 3 years or something, you'd still have idiots saying it's worth the wait.

Obviously producing keycaps doesn't take a year and a half.  However, there's a production queue, and sets in front of Hammerhead have been delayed by both COVID and the issues with resin shortages. 

In general, when people are ordering keycaps faster than GMK can make them, lead times will increase.  Say what you like about their intelligence, but plenty of people are obviously still willing to buy GMK keycaps with an 18 month wait otherwise GBs would be failing all over the place.

There is a slight delay - production is complete. However they are waiting for the banderole to arrive and that has been delayed. We are looking at shipping out from GMK within 2 weeks.

Thank you for the constant updates, you're the man!!! On a disappointing note, they had more than a year to prep for the packaging. Even then, still decides to screw it up. Shortage of paper perhaps?  :thumb:
