- Got an illustrator working on the 2nd deskmat design
- Deciding upon which kits to run, this being heavily affected by the audiences shown interest in public and votes. (So make sure to fill the form (https://forms.gle/56tucZqXMYpdWs896))
- We are pretty set on the current collabs. Always open for more collabs, so if you have any suggestions, or if you want to provide anything please let us know!
- We are also waiting for some more collaborator product pictures, so we can provide you guys with that.
- Quotes to GMK has arrived, so we are working on setting a fair retail price.
- Last of all we are working on getting more realistic themed renders done.

If I wanted to purchase just the deskmats, would it be shipped earlier than the keycaps or will they share the similar Q3/4 shipping date estimation?

Is it just me or are the GMK samples noticeably different from the pantone 339 colors?

The samples do match 339C the most out of the ones in the picture. While it is not color matched, here's my pic:

were the colors of the alt mod set changed sometime during the production process? The renders make the legend colors on the alt mod set look way brighter/lighter colored than what ended up being delivered.
