I passed on too many GMK sets this year, some that I really regret (Emir's GMK Rouge (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104955) at the top of the list). Moving on this one!
Now I have to hack GH to get the locked IC thread out of my Watched Topic list (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101528.0).
Hi, great to see this going to r2. just wondering, any chance we'll ever see this in PBT?

Now I have to hack GH to get the locked IC thread out of my Watched Topic list (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101528.0).
I just right-click the locked thread's Notifiy button and copy the link, replace the copied thread's "action=notify;sa=on" with "action=unwatch" and execute it. The locked thread is now unwatched.
Are these colors the exact same as the original run? I still use R1 so I just want to pick up novelties, etc. this time around.
Hey didn't see the F-row color change for the Yuri base in the IC Post. Are F1-F4 and F9-F12 keys supposed to be the same color as F5-F8 as the kit picture suggests?

I understand it's a GMK set, i didn't ask if GMK would make it in PBT did I? I asked if T0mb3ry is considering running the colorway in PBT.

Thanks for the catch. Its an error. Will be corrected in few days.

I have some GMK and SA Carbon R1 and R2, they’re also T0mb3ry custom colors where r2 was matched to R1. I can interchange them and my significant other can’t tell who’s who. I’d be pretty confident in the colors matching well.
Any chance of offering just the numpad enter key in the novelty set? I picked up 2 kits in the original run where they were incorrectly produced as + key profile. Is like to be able to replace those without having to buy 2 more entire novelty kits

oof...
I just ordered via NovelKeys, but I just noticed that the Icon Mods set doesn't include icon version of Ctrl, Super, and Alt, while the original version of Yuri did have them.
Is there any way to get those?
Is the base no MOQ?

holy **** really?
skydata is the best set i've seen in years and only 15 other people ordered it?
no taste in keyboards anymore
Just here to confirm.
All kits will be made.
I'm surprised by the number of orders, it such a nice set... hope it'll make to moq

Some of the vendors already said that all kits will be made no matter how many are sold in GB.
They will just buy out MOQ with the extras.

so,
wait.
Why put consumers through the group buy process at all if there was plans to buy out ALL kits from the very start? Especially for numbers lacking such as this, there is clearly capitol available to not have to use an outdated buying system.

GMK skeletor r2 did this, and the cheapest it got was extras pricing at 180. I’m glad to buy in for less.

So you prefer not being able to secure a set at a lower price? Todays purpose of keyset group buys is to
#1 Give you better pricing.
#2 Guarantees you to receive a unit, instead of hoping the vendors bought enough sets to satisfy demand for more than 2 minutes of them opening a FCFS stock sale.
#3 Be able to offer more kits, without a group buy, we vendors have no idea how much each kit is in demand, so it's impossible to prepare for #2, we'd just drop child kits and go for base kits as much as possible.
Group Buys are still in the interest of the community IMO.
1 is completely up to the vendor. I can't imagine prices become magically cheaper solely because epeople have to wait longer. Oco made the price for skeletor as NK made the price for this.
2 wouldn't be an issue if GMK was capable of meeting demand and vendors were willing to take just a little more risk to stock product, which could change in the future from all these rumors I'm hearing of GMK more than doubling their supply chain with the incoming machines.
3 makes sense, completely. Still, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth seeing kits get canceled a week into the buy.
For clarification, what I'm worried about is that no matter the capitol vendors have, no matter how large actual supply and demand is, I fear vendors get comfortable with this process and won't be willing to budge to change. Every month has been non stop growth and eventually consumers deserve a better, less risky practice to get them product.
just remembered i bought this but i never look at the novelkeys emails
we still in GMK lead time hell?
I know I didn't need to worry colormatching process since it was a re-run color, but, where can I got latest info from maker?Hello.
Hey, is that gray modifier colour the same as Honeywell?
Hey, is that gray modifier colour the same as Honeywell?
Yuri has no gray colors. Only dark blue, light blue and neon (red) orange.

genuinely i think this is one of the best sets i own, this looks so good in person
one small problem thoughMorei wasn't planning on using this key anyway but i would describe this as not ideal. i have other GMK sets with similar issues and they don't bother me at all, but this one is just particularly poorly placed. personally not enough for me to file a ticket about it.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/FmbVbN1.jpg)

I think GMK is getting a little overwhelmed with all the orders lately & we're seeing that on the QC end. My set of GMK Bleached & GMK Dolch R5 both had keys with plastic bleed through on them. Both got replaced with just a support ticket so no big deal, but it is a little rough waiting so long for a set just for it to show up with a bum cap.

In fairness, I've had a few other recent GMK sets come through with no problems, so this is definitely a one-off issue. Some of my older GMK sets have issues like this (one of my caps on soware has a burnt stem, another has a defect on the front side), so it's nothing new. I think the percentage of issue caps is the same, there are just more total caps going out, but that's total speculation.
I'll likely still pick up a second set of skydata with the cyrillic add on at extras time. I really like how this came out.

Can that just be sanded off?

FWIW, this is an extrusion defect aptly called black specks (https://nanomoldcoating.com/black-specks-in-injection-molds/) (or "carbons", depending on industry) caused by degradation of the polymer during processing. That's why the speck on puddsy's cap is also black, rather than appearing as a bleed through of the legend color.
They're usually caused by running the machine too hot, or from material sitting in corners of the tooling for an extended time and degrading (either from improper cleaning or running too long between teardown). Whether we're seeing them from GMK trying to push the machines to meet production, new machines/crews starting up, or more simply from them just missing them during the QC process is unclear, but also doesn't really matter I guess.
And no, don't sand then off. Not only will you ruin the surface finish, but these are embedded particles and would require basically cutting a divot out of your caps to remove them. Definitely not worth it. Just contact them for a replacement.
