Any word on updated numbers from proxies? TKC numbers are not looking good for anything other than the base kit and novelties. If all proxies come in and we're a few orders short of MOQ I will honestly buy a 2nd set of 40s and spacebars if it will help get to MOQ.

Hi everyone!

This is the last day of the GB, thanks for all who supported this keyset :thumb:

For those who are worried that some kits may not get made, dont worry because they will. Numbers are still for final consolidation after the GB period.

TKC will keep you guys posted this too!  ;)

I love deep purple colors, and this is fantastic! Even with the Pink-ish legends and accents. I wouldn't say they are plain, but simplistic. I don't even watch/read Accell World, but i did play MTG and this makes me happy. I think i am going to get a base kit! I haven't seen a good purple keycap kit come out that has grabbed my attention like this one did when i found it here!

Are you kidding me?....  :eek: I didn't realize this GB stopped yesterday. I JUST MISSED IT!.... So upsetting.... Guess i will just have to lurk R/MM to see if one of the base kits pops up. 50% above the original price, but guess that's what happens when i don't check these often enough and miss good GB's...  :(

I can't find the color codes used for this set. Is is possible to have them? I plan to paint a keyboard case to match this set, so I would like to have the color code to have a perfect match. :) It would be very appreciated.

EDIT: You confirmed that the Black is CR from GMK. You also confirmed that the other colors are from SP. So I would guess RDE and RCJ or RCS?!?

Not sure when it was last updated but TKC's site says the expected ship date is currently June.  It'd be nice to see some samples or something though.

Materials have been ordered and production was scheduled to finish in July. There probably won't be any further updates until it's either ready in July or we get notice of delay. I can't see it being delayed though.

I don't think it will be nearly as bad as you think. That picture looks overexposed/taken in a bright room. I mean the alphas are black but they look greyish in the photo. WoB in daylight doesn't even look that light to me. Of course, I could be wrong.

Hi everyone, im really happy to announce that GMK Black Lotus has finally started to ship out.

The group buy started a bit bumpy, especially towards the start of 2020’s nightmare, but we made it fulfillment phase! Huge props to TKC and the team for making this happen, all the supporters from day 1 from GH and other platforms.

Special mention to Fictiouz, Vigrith, & thesiscamper for helping me out in the early phases.

I'm no photography expert but I received my set from the Deskhero extras buy and it definitely looks much brighter/pinker than I would have expected. I really like the set but I don't think it matches the renders very well...

Including a comparison pic with First Love.
