I 'm confused that I wrote down email address correctly
Is there any way to confirm it?
anyway I'm in! :D
How much does it save by using Europe proxy? the sum of all sets is almost the same as buying from US +20%.Same situation for me, looks like I'm paying £30/~$42.50 more(base plus novelties) compared to US prices with the proxy.
I thought the idea of Europe proxy is to save the import tax.

I didn't think that was how it works. As far as I'm aware there is no escaping the VAT. The difference is the VAT is payed with your purchase via the proxy and via a customs fee with your delivery.
Their website even says "All products on our website sold to consumer customers in the European Union with 21% VAT included. Products sold outside the European Union are VAT exclusive but require handling through customers in the country of destination.".
You will also get faster and cheaper shipping since the box isn't going from Germany to the us back to Europe.

Taxes are only if it's from a business in the same state usually. For fees its only an import duty and not a sales tax, so the average rate is only like 3%, and is based on the value of the sets at the rate purchased from GMK and not the rate sold to us. So our taxes are WAY WAY lower than yours. I believe for plastic goods its like 6.5% of whatever the invoice/import papers say the value is. But that part of the pricing is usually built into the GB rates and you would have to pay it just the same as we do since the GB runner would still pay it as part of the cost of importing the caps to begin with, so you would in essence get taxed twice, but if you are asking if there is some other tax that would get added if you ordered from the united states, the answer is no, the pricing should already include any import duties.

I also totted up the difference and decided to go with the EU proxy. Importing from the states will mean paying tax at the post office (on value of item including postage) AND royal mail's £8 handling fee. The only way to avoid that tax is basically to break the law, which is like, y'know, whatever, your prerogative.

I'm also unsure whether the calculations are taking into account an increased s/h cost when shipping from the US to the UK.
Either way, if you are an EU citizen, then you are best served by leveraging the wonderful proxy relationship we have established with mykeyboard.eu. :)
I had to join for the delicious colors. I really hope the alphas will retain their powdery muted warm lavender color. Seems like quite a few GMK sets start out with more muted renders and end up with more vibrant (dare I say garish in some cases) colors once the actual plastic is mixed and molded. (P.S.: the GAF caps show a more blue-lavender compared to the renders--hopefully it's just the difference in white balance).
your star is a different color :o
your star is a different color :o
Hah, you've noticed :D A few star icons got updated from the old tilted style to the more symmetrical style of the rest of the star icons, and colors got updated as well (I may have had a hand in my color...)
This is just the set my purple Klippe needs, great job :thumb: let’s get to MOQ!
I submitted my order
When do I get a PayPal invoice?
Looks like the form of choosing country has changed at panc.co
I think the selection is more granular.
Does it any matter that wrote it before change?
and pwade3! :)
check pm plz
I submitted my order
When do I get a PayPal invoice?
Paypal invoices will be going out at the end of the GB period, per the info on panc.co.
dope!

surprised people aren't jumping on this, purple is pretty hot
I signed up for the novelty and main set but am thinking of getting the spacebar kit too just in case? Do I just fill out the form again or what?
Do those numbers give the combined orders between the three sites? They mirror the panc.co numbers.
Hi All,
This is my first time participating on a GB other than MassDrop. Just for clarification, what happens if we do not meet MOQ?
Ordered via the EU proxy.
are the order number include the proxy orders?
Hi All,
This is my first time participating on a GB other than MassDrop. Just for clarification, what happens if we do not meet MOQ?
So yeah, as said, if we don't hit MOQ, the set doesn't get made. If we hit the 16th without being at MOQ, we'll probably evaluate and go from there. If the numbers look close enough to justify an extension, perhaps we'll go that way, we can't really say right now.
Ideally, we'll hit moq at the tail end with the late joiners that most GBs have.Ordered via the EU proxy.
are the order number include the proxy orders?
Not atm, working to get that info.

You'll probably have a good percent of people who won't pay their invoices, so something to keep in mind as well.
I hope I can find the funds to get in on this keyset, paying for my vacations this month. Great looking set! I hope you hit MOQ.

Initially didn't know what I could pair this set with. Now I just ordered a cyan+purple keeb. Really keen to see how they would look like together. Do people think we'll meet MOQ?

Sounds like a great combo.
We're certainly hopeful that we'll be hitting MOQ, lots of GBs frequently have people who hold off till the last minute to join!

Complete paymentI think it was written in the invoice that your address is outside CONUS.
I was checking the shipping cost of $ 10 on the invoice pricing
I'm living in Korea
I am not without having to pay additional shipping costs?
Congratulations on a successful group buying ~

Paid, thank you!
Will there be custom plastic chips from GMK to show their rendition of the requested colors?
Invoice paid. Thanks, Alex!
I will go grab myself a boba while I wait patiently. :thumb:
Hey everyone, we're currently sitting at 85% paid, best to get those taken care of ASAP or risk missing out on this set!Opened the invoice the second I got it, pulled high guy and thought I paid it then got the first reminder email thinking, didn't I pay this?! Lmao. Purple is life.

Hey everyone, no worries on being curious of where we're at, I totally get it.
Basically, we've collected payments, cancelled unpaid invoices, and everything is peachy MOQ-wise, we're just currently waiting to hear back from GMK so that we can make our payment and secure our spot. Unfortunately things have been a little slow from their end, but I'll be sure to keep you guys up to speed as these things progress.
As far as the tie in Keyforge raffle goes, I know people have been wondering what's going on there, unfortunately I don't really know our timeline there. Last I'd heard, he and his family were getting hit by the flu that's been going around, so my thinking is he's still getting back up to speed after dealing with all of that. Again, you'll know more as I hear more.
Thanks again for all the support, I'm glad you guys are as excited as I am for this set!
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to imagine my next 60% layout, I'm new to the community, so I'd like to ask is that blank in R4 is 2u on Taro render?
Planning to grab some 2u shift pcb layout.

If you are in EU and are interested in these shirts, a group proxy shipment from MyKeyboard might be possible to save on shipping costs. Please PM me, so I can forward a list of usernames to AlexAtPanc.
Thanks!
Would it be possible if I can join in on the groupbuy?
I've been in a handful of group buys over the past few years. Just wanted to throw out there that I'm really happy with the frequency of communication and status updates for Taro. Thanks for keeping us in the loop!Agreed :thumb:

Hey all,
As some of you may have heard, we did receive our first batch of samples!
However, while I thought these colors would be a good match, I seem to have missed the mark. Due to this and lack of proper photography equipment, I'm going to keep pictures private, so you guys don't have to freak out that the set won't live up to renders.
So unfortunately, it looks like we'll need another round of samples, but the exciting thing is that we're making progress! I met with a friend who works with colors a lot more than myself and I think we found pantones that will leave us much closer to the vision of this set. I just sent an email to GMK and we'll see how things go from here!
Have a good week folks.
;D

I've been told that RAL colors are safer to use with GMK because they're in Europe, and RAL colors are more available there. Thoughts?
I’ll have a decent amount of extras. :)

Hey everyone, I just heard from GMK that I should expect the next batch of samples next Wednesday.
Usually the sampling process is much more timely, but apparently there was some sort of delay with the supplier.
Unfortunate, but I hope you'll all agree that a little time is worth getting these colors right!

We'll have a much clearer picture depending on if this color selection is ready for production or not, I'm sorry that's not as sexy an answer as I'd like.
Hey everyone, look what we've got, some presentable samples!I think they look great. The alpha looks a little lighter than I imagined but I’m not sure I mind. Assuming these are good, any timeframes?
Lighting was a little hard to work with, I'm reliant on natural lighting and it's very overcast today, I included one pic in lovely bathroom lighting just to give an impression on how much lighting influences these colors.
Let me know any thoughts, questions, etc.

Hey everyone, look what we've got, some presentable samples!Looks perfect to me. Color me excited!
Hmm, from the renders I was expecting a slightly darker purple for the alphas, but I still think it looks good. The cyan I was however expecting to be greener, and in that case I'm not sure I like this color as much as I was expecting to.
But it really could be down to lighting. Hard to tell.
I like the paler alphas personally. Are those samples accepted, or does the process continue? This is my first key set GB, so not familiar with the process.
Glad the samples have come in! Difficult to say what they look like in person, as I have that cyan in GMK Cyan and CMYK mods, and it’s more green and slightly more vibrant in person. The CV2 is more vibrant and slightly less green than on the pictures. So my guess is that the custom Taro color chips could be a bit more saturated in person than pictured, with a possible slight color shift. I hoped for a very slightly more red shift of the initial mock ups.
I wonder if the modifiers will look basically black in indoor conditions.

Yeah, so unfortunately the weather for those pics was super overcast, so you're right, they're a little desaturated.
As far as the red shift, in the first batch of samples that I deemed too bad to show, my mod color was more on the red side of things and the way it played with the light was just not good at all. Too many situations where it looked more of a burgundy than dark purple.
The sun decided to pop out for a little bit, and I managed to get a quick pic showing just how much these purples change with lighting. So as far as looking "basically black" it really just depends on one's lighting setups.

Yesh, I’m sure it’s not easy to find the right balance. This is the look I personally fell in love with (darker and a touch more red/pink alphas—usually GMK’s 2-D renders are incorrect, but it looks like in this case the samples and that 2-D render match well):MoreIf I’m in the minority, it’s not a big deal. Ultimately each set should first satisfy the artistic vision of the creator.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/iEqsUk9.png)

The cyan has always been GMK's stock TU2, that's in the info in the OP, there's loads of sets that have used it if you want a better frame of reference!
Darker alphas would be much preferred (like the original render). I would gladly wait longer to have the colors closer to the render.+1
This is one case where the GMK renderShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/QvZmTo7.png)
looks more like the actual samplesShow Image(https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=93732.0;attach=197351;image)
But the purple from the OPShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/iEqsUk9.png)
would suggest the OP was desiring the purple shown in the PantoneShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/74LAVmD.jpg)
My two cents, would be another sample to be more in line with the OP's vision of the set (whichever that might be).
Are you talking about alphas or modifiers?

Alphas
Works for me.
Thanks for all the feedback, everyone! We appreciate the comments and make sure that we are taking in as much advice and constructive criticism as we can.
I'm including some pics of the caps in different lighting conditions. I think the alpha is very nice, and I think the mod (which again imo was the harder tone to hit) is a home run.

Personally, I believe these are great colors that work well together, and will make the set really stand out. I understand the criticism of the alpha base color. It's a bit lighter in pictures than it comes across in person. I think the first picture here is the one that makes the real color come across. I think they look great together, and as far as shifting in light, they do shift, but I don't think that is a bad thing, when that happens.

We originally said an early July shipping date would be likely, but that is now essentially impossible. We believe a mid-August date is achievable at this point.Sent you a pm.
Thanks to all customers for your patience on this. If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let us know!

Hey, what steps can I take to change my shipping address on my order? I'm moving at the end of August and want to make sure that my keycaps make it to me!
Hey all, If anybody wants my spot shoot me a message on reddit (pxlnght) and we'll work something out. I've switched to the ortho life (for now) so this set won't work for me anymore :P
Edit: Btw I bought all kits.
are we still waiting for samples after 6 months?

I LOVE this. And I love taro, so delicious. The colors are awesome and unique and really lovely! Sadly, however, it appears I am too late for the buy... Will it have a rerun at some point?You can keep an eye on MechMarket at reddit after they ship (usually a slight mark up in price since people sometimes buy extra kits for profit), or ask AlexAtPanc if there are extras, or if anyone wants to sell their spot in the group buy. Someone actually sold me their spot.
Has the GMK order been placed and paid? Any expect dates for delivery since samples are okay?
Those samples look AMAZING. So glad I made this my first GB. <3 I have an ube artisan that I want to pair with this taro set. Gotta have all the purp I can.
That being said, will updates only continue on GH? Or will email updates from Alex be making a comeback?
Has the GMK order been placed and paid? Any expect dates for delivery since samples are okay?
Hey there, the order has indeed been placed and paid!
As a note: in most cases, GMK requires payment before they do sampling, that's why most GBs you see have their samples acquired after the GB takes place.
Unfortunately, I'm still waiting on a more firm date from GMK's end as far as production/shipping goes, so trying to make any sort of estimate here would be irresponsible on my part.Those samples look AMAZING. So glad I made this my first GB. <3 I have an ube artisan that I want to pair with this taro set. Gotta have all the purp I can.
That being said, will updates only continue on GH? Or will email updates from Alex be making a comeback?
As per the above, we've kinda been hard up for any concrete information, as we assumed most people didn't just wanna be email blasted with the color sampling process, however once we get more firm production/shipping info, I presume the emails will resume, but I'll double check with Alex :thumb:

Too bright IMO.
Yea, you’re right. The pink definitely doesn’t match well. Guess I was mainly looking at the darker half.
Probably a long shot, but anyone who wants to transfer their spot for a base + novelties, please let me know! Was gonna try to wait for mechmarket but I keep going back to this posting cause I love the colors so much.

I picked up some techflex and paracord that comes close to the shades we're looking for. I haven't had any time to assemble, but I plan on getting them put together soon!
Here's a live shot of it on the desk at mykeyboard.eu's office:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/b721KwN.jpg)
Very excited for when they touch down at my location!

I’m not going to use the key but I just noticed that that capslock key just says “Lock”
This was a little sneak preview that GMK sent me of the novelties, I would say they look great!

Morning everyone, got a nice teaser pic for the upcoming keyforge raffle!yes these'll do!Show Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/395421802295197707/481233397767995393/IMG_2101.jpg)

So the Garbo will be going out with the set of one lucky buyer, I'm going to leave posting whether they won or not up to them, as I don't want to have someone hassled trying to get the cap from them.
As for Keyforge, I've been talking to them, things are in the works and more details should be available very soon!
It's arrived. I'm in the UK, got tracking on Monday and it arrived yesterday if anyone's interested.
The set looks lovely.

Purple Zephyr
Haha you know! Will never end 🤣Purple Zephyr
Still on the purple hunt!
Just curious why is Taro taking so long compared to some of the other sets that had their GBs much later?Violet Tendencies did not have custom colors
I'm thinking of Violet Tendencies as the prime example, since that GB happened ~3 months after Taro did
If I could do it all over I'd go with taro over violet, the wait will be worth it.
Hello folks!
Some quick-hit updates:
- GMK Taro sets are with the shipping company and will be delivered next week on Friday (9/7) at the latest. I'm trying to get the date moved up, but trying to work on a Wednesday appointment since that day seems reliably dry for my location.
- T-shirts are coming in the mail as well!
- Non-CONUS customers will be getting updated shipping invoice info soon. Sorry for the delay, I've been crushed with other responsibilities.
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please let me know!
I checked the PayPal invoice, but it is currently cancelled(Additional amount for international shipping)
Do you send the invoice again?

Lee Jeong,
I did re-send the corrected international shipping invoice about five minutes after sending the cancellation. If you don't see it, drop me a PM and we can get to the bottom of it. Thanks!

Hi Guys,
anyone interested in replacing my slot?
I haven't paid to alex for the additional invoice for shipment outside CONUS.
I just lost my cellphone and wallet oversea and couldn't make any payment to him until I'm back to home country.
My set comes with:
Base kit
Spacebar kit
Novelties Kit
and T-shirt size M Mens (I'll consider as bonus)
Feel free to PM me if interested,
I have emailed alex but he hasn't respond to my e-mail.
Could be busy making arrangement related to this GB.

Mike, the man. Thanks. I don't know that I've seen a set that looked so much like the renders. I honestly thought it would turn out like violet tendencies did. But this set is a beauty. Rough ETA for when they will be up for sale? Week? Month?
Hello everyone!
The packages have arrived! (https://i.imgur.com/8nijGx7.png) I’m in the process of opening, checking and counting the sets that I have.
Everyone who has an international shipment should have been invoiced already. If you have an international shipment but haven’t received an invoice, please let me know.
I have a few stray transfer requests which will be processed tonight. Sorry to those who are waiting.
Packing and shipping to individual customers will take place as soon as I can get to it.
A quick FAQ:
Q. Why aren’t you starting packing and shipping immediately?
A. Unfortunately, the packaging and ship date of the sets to me was a complete surprise. I was not able to schedule the appropriate time windows to perform the packing and shipping process. As such, I’ve done my best to shift my schedule to allow for everything to be taken care of as quickly as possible.
Q. When will we get our keysets?
A. I’m committed to shipping all keysets at the exact same time. I’m not going to send anyone’s keyset before anyone elses. You will receive an email with your tracking info as soon as your shipping label is created.
Q. I really don’t see how you didn’t budget time for shipping these keysets. You’ve been running this GB for months, didn’t you already know that they would be coming to you?
A. It’s not that I didn’t know they would be coming, I didn’t know when. I have responsibilties that need to be completed in a relatively short amount of time, and I am pushing to get those done as quickly as I possibly can.
Q. Will these be shipped in a box?
A. Yes, all keysets will be shipped in boxes, unless you are not getting any base sets, in which case they will be shipped in bubble mailers.
Q. Are you going to the DC meetup?
A. Yes I am!
Q. Why do you have time to go to the DC meetup and don’t have time to package and ship my keyset, dummy?
A. I already made plans to go to the DC meetup well before I knew the sets would be arriving. I unfortunately can’t break the plans that I have set up.
Q. If you’re going to the DC meetup, can you just bring mine and you won’t have to ship it?
A. Car space constraints, logistical planning and increase in likelihood of shipping confusion make me averse to offering this option.
Q. Why are you bothering with this FAQ at all? Hurry up and ship these out!
A. OK, Thanks for your patience.
Hi Alex,
I know you said in your FAQ that it will take some time to get these sets out, which is completely understandable. Could you though, provide us a rough estimate of how long that will take to get all the sets out at once? Were you thinking another month to month and a half from when you received the sets from GMK? Shorter time frame? I know you are working diligently on getting these out, but an estimate would be nice to quell any expectations we could be getting it in September. - THX

Based on all of this and the number of sets, I frankly would adjust my expectations to late September/early October. Packing is not so fun, and it's a lot of work. Mind-numbing and time-consuming.
I'm doing my absolute level-best to speed up the process and get everything out to customers. I know this is frustrating, and I know it's hard to believe, but I'm extremely frustrated myself. Every available resource that is within my grasp has been or will be leveraged to get everyone their keysets as soon as humanly possible.

Want to trade Taro for Alex
For peeps who are in this groupbuy, Which keyboard are you thinking of pairing with this set? just curious.
For peeps who are in this groupbuy, Which keyboard are you thinking of pairing with this set? just curious.
I plan on putting my Taro on a Kono Kira! I ordered mine with the black aluminum finish and plan on running it with a matching green RGB underglow. I have some R10 67g Zealios laying around, I figure I'll throw those under Taro! But with the keycaps shipping soon, and the Kira having a delivery time of mid-November, I might have to throw Taro onto something else in the mean time. Beats sitting on my desk in the box collecting dust! I've got a GK60 lurking somewhere, maybe Taro will live on that until the Kira arrives...
How about you, where you able to get in on the groupbuy? If so, what will you be putting your Taro on?

Alex, will all the international packaged be shipped with shipping service that are fully trackable?
I had few experiences with USPS that were only trackable until the package was within the States;
as soon as it left US they were no longer the trackable and eventually some ended up being lost.

This just means he's packed the boxes and printed out the shipping label.
USPS isn't in possession of the item, so it's technically not "shipped" yet, which he said he would do on Tuesday, Oct 16

I'm just writing to inform you that I had to do some manual label generation for your particular shipment, so you should receive updated tracking info very shortly.
Please let me know if you don't receive your label by 10/20 12:00pm.
Thanks for your patience!

I'm waiting for my label to be generated.
I already sent email regarding the situation and received no reply.
Hope to get my set before Christmas. :)
Looks like USPS is picking up the sets tomorrow (Oct 23):

Wondering if international shipping was done via USPS First Class Mail or with Priority Mail International?
Just asking, as my package seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth since 30 Oct, i.e. moving within the USPS network and on track to be delivered to its final destination. My local post office usually updates the tracking when the package has left the States but in this scenario curiously nothing was updated.

International shipping is firstclass mail.
I also stopped tracking after October 30.
The package arrived yesterday.
But even after arriving, usps hasn't been updated since October 30.
haven't put taro on anything yet; need to desolder my purple ALF x2; still has the box blue stem busters on it womp wompLikewise, because my eggplant zephyr isnt ready yet :sadb0ilyfe:
Congrats on getting through a custom colour GMK group buy with apparently no salt. The caps look great and taking your time with the samples obviously reaped rewards. Good jerb guys.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. The colorway is a crusher and Philipp deserves all of the accolades and superlatives that exist for knocking this out of the park. The only storefront I know of that still has base sets in stock is 1upkeyboards (https://www.1upkeyboards.com/shop/keycaps/gmk-taro-keycap-set/).
Shoutout to Boomsnapcaps for the gifted spooder up there; I have no clue what the name is, but it matches the mod base incredibly well.
I'm in touch with one person who has yet to get their set. We are aware of it's general location in the world and I'm working with USPS to get the latest info.
Thanks to everyone for their patience with me. I know it was a long slog, but I hope everyone is happy with what landed. I want to extend my personal thanks to Pwade for allowing me to be a part of his special set. I think we call can agree this one is a winner, and I can't wait to see what else he's working on!

Did anyone come up with a nice cable for it? I think it was discussed but not sure if anyone ever made one.

I was attempting to find a matching sleeve color, but I ran out of time and interest so I just stopped.
Will there be R2? Kicking myself for not joining R1
Really would kill to see this set in SA 😍

They are the standard red-purple color, not pink-magenta or blue-purple ("UV") in hue. Sometimes they are sold as "pink" on eBay, but it's the common "purple" LED color.
Search eBay or Aliexpress or whatever is the equivalent for "1.8mm clear pink LED" (it's not actually pink, but it's often labeled as "pink" nowadays to distinguish from "UV purple") or "1.8mm clear purple LED".
Example:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/100pcs-1-8mm-LED-Water-Clear-Pink-2pin-Emitting-Diode-/292552048803?hash=item441d7600a3
I don't recommend the specific LEDs in that listing, because they are not very consistent in color (some are slightly more blue, some are slightly more toward red).
thanks you !!!!!
Hey everyone, just wanted to give my thanks again to everyone who supported the set and to those of you hoping for a round 2. I love seeing that people are still enjoying this set, it really means a lot to me.
A second run is definitely on the table, but it won't be for a little while. I'm currently working on a new set that will hopefully be to a point where I can show more people very soon. Can't just rest on my laurels and coast by on Taro!
For an endcap to this buy though, I've got a giveaway that I need to figure out the fine details, but for now know that it will be some sort of photo competition for those with the set and the prize will be a Boba Burps Typebeast, once again graciously provided by GAF.
More details coming Soontm...
