Vendors have paid GMK and the set is now in the queue! Thank you everyone for the great success

(Also if you would like to order anything from kono, use my referral link, gives me a little bonus at no extra cost to you  ;D)

In my renders and in my geek hack I've always showed that the homing keys will be Barred only and the 2nd pair will have no homing at all (no bar and no scoop). I was never asked until a few minutes ago and apparently everyone just expects them to be scooped? I can still change this (I think) Please vote below. This will affect the F and J and 5 keys that currently have no homing at all.

It's standard practice to have both scoops and bars with GMK, and if you must get rid of one, I think scoops are much more popular. I think you're wasting both your time and participants' time with a poll like this.

Typically Scooped is a given for homing keys, it's also kind of hard to noticed the scooped keys in renders all the time, if you want to run a set without it best practice would be to let the customers know that your only providing barred and no homing for the set. When I discovered GMK Umbra didn't have scooped keys I was quite disappointed. It's one of the reasons why I ended up selling the set.

I never specified scooped keys in the renders, I did specify barred keys in the renders. I thought it was clear enough with the info I gave. I never knew about this standard Practice. I also don't understand why no one asked? I understand that it might be difficult to spot in the renders. Either way I don't think it's a waste of time since the people who bought the set can vote. If it happens to be scooped I'll gladly change it.  :D
Luckily I was told before it was too late!

(Also currently no scoop is leading, obviously it's too early to tell)

Either way, now there's a vote and if the people don't like it, they can vote! Majority wins.  ;D

I have a couple vintage Cherry boards that don't have homing keys. They aren't great.

Adding the results from my discord and the google form the result ended up being 18-15 in favor for scooped key. I've contacted gmk and it should be worked out soon!

Those look amazing! Do you have a GMK set or two in grey or purple we can see in comparison? VoC, Plum, iris, q01, Carbon, oblivion, etc?

I don't own any purple sets sadly. I'll try to find some purple/colored objects you may know to show a comparison.

The white keys use grey text. The purple wouldn't have fit!

Hey, Sorry, I kinda forgot I also have to update the GH thread.

Latest we have from GMK is that they finish production in May. I don't know how accurate this is.

My kit is supposed to come from kono so we know I’m gonna be the last person to see this set. One of the guiding principles of kono is always strive to suck more for your customers.

There is a mistake with the row 2 1.5u backspace (Descend) Novelty being Row 3. This has been noted by GMK.

Should be there, double check and if it isn't there, contact your vendor!
