Hey guys,

Some updates! This is starting in just 7 days! zFrontier has joined as a vendor.

The kit has also become much bigger. This was a requirement from GMK's side. To use custom colors, your kit actually has to use enough plastic to make GMK ordering the custom color make sense. Our old kit would have had an MOQ of about 1500, in order to use enough of the custom colored plastic. We didn't think that was feasible, so we made the kit bigger.

The MOQ will be 500. Vendors are on board to buy out to this quantity, as this is for a good cause. FWIW, a stock color kit with a 250 MOQ with the old kit would have ended up being priced very similarly to the current kit at 500.

New kit:


The kit now features accent f5-f8, spacekeys for Alice/Split keyboard support (2.75U, 2.25U, 2U, 1.25U R4c), 2xR4C 1U keys for ortho space, and R4 "Super" keys (1U, 1.25U, and 1.5U) in Pink

Final pricing will be announced soon!

Much thanks to Abec13 for doing these renders in record time!

I actually like the added changes. Would Super keys make more sense in pairs? Just a thought.

TIL about GMK's minimum plastic order requirement. That provides some insight as to why modifier kits aren't really done anymore. Really want to see more of them.

Just realized that there is more than one US vendor. Now I have to determine which one will have the least shipping price.

Really appreciate the inclusion of split spacebar. Glad to support a good cause.

I wish there were two 2.0u space bars (split orthos, anyone?) but I'm in nonetheless.
Ortho. Always.

Any way to have an estimate of when will the vendors have these available for shipping ? i.e., production timeframe ?

Thanks!

Ouch, that's a long time for such a small set... Too many sets running, I guess GMK must be overloaded.

That's awesome! Thanks for facilitating this, Mike.

Edit: AND thanks to UPas and Garrett and overseas team Pink! (so sorry - forgot we had MANY great vendors in on this).

Any updates on this? I assume it's delayed along with everything else but wondering if anybody's checked in on how production is going.

I will give an update for this. We actually got surprise tracking in from GMK and just received them!

However, they packaged them in a odd way, so we are waiting on the right sized boxes to be able to ship them out. We (NovelKeys) should have these shipped out by the end of this week.
