What quality assurance preventive check points would be implemented? Considering the latest news on GMK relaxing previous standards, we should double check if these upcoming key caps would meet originals. These are premium products.

totally agree. high price should mean high quality. lately with gmk that is that true

These should be fine. Every problem so far occured with Icon-only modifiers.

I totally agree. After the fiasco of Emir's GB and their reply, they don't seem all that fussed about the quality drop. I'll definitely get the vendors to see what they can do.

The worst problems are with Icon Mods, but there have been various other issues (see Oblivion v2, etc.)

Hopefully, by the time GMK gets to this GB, they would have sorted out their issues.

Hi folks,

Some bad news.

Due to the pandemic and the outbreak a lot of GMK's services have crawled to a slower speed. I just received information from the vendors who are in contact with GMK for this set that shipping to the vendors has been pushed back to May.

I'm not in personal contact with GMK but I try to relay everything the vendors tell me back to you folks

Sorry for the delay ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

The dust that comes off those trays is horrid -- but that aside, pog, very good news to see this shipping finally! The best flair to a good ol' set of WoB.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but wasn't this set supposed to come with a windowed caps lock?

True... according to the render.

But I'm noticing that my kit has a 1.75u full touch Caps Lock key instead of the windowed stepped Caps Lock. This is probably the correct thing to do if the number of keys had to remain the same.

Excuse the poor lighting.

The render shows both windowed and non windowed. No where was it mentioned that one had to be cut for any reason, and I thought that I had paid for both.

Yep so GMK changed the set and set the changes into motion.

Myself and the other vendors only caught the change until the set was done. I only realised the change this week. Really sorry for this folks, nothing can really be done about the change as well.

Any way to reach out to GMK and have them make replacement caps? This has been done in the past on several occasions, and GMK really seems to love scuffing their sets to varying degrees lately.

Yeah GMK just replaced the Windowed Key with the Full Caps lock. Don't think we really can do anything about it, unfortunately.

GMK has like 150 Sets give or take queued for production right now and just don't have the time to (or don't want to?) fix/replace and send one cap over.

I thought GMK would fix these issues like the "F13" for nautilus R2. etc

Metaverse and other got their keys fixed as well. That's unfortuante.

It is just insane paying premium prices and getting low quality and bad service in return. It is good to see more GB for SP's sets, al least it is another option. The last time I got in one those buys the outcome was outstanding.

This is an example of good packaging:

I'm excited for the increase in DCS ics I've seen, especially Hueys Honeywell set. I've also found that I like SA a lot, and I joined in on the recent CRP run too. Definitely lots of other options out there.
