Those 2 group buys are about different things.
While for key caps the battle is always about more kinds of keys vs. MOQ, for keyboards it is always prototypes that have to be tested that delays the whole thing.
We don't know when GH60 will ship, but when it does, you will have your order 100%, while in Round 4, people still wait for those row 2 vertical + keys.
