looks lovely!! I hope there will be an International / Norde KIT. if yes Im 100% on board :)

Yes please... Norde Kit.

Until the hobby grows, German and Scandinavian users do need support. We're a small but not insignificant part of the mechanical keyboard community.

[CypherPls]

ITS Q4 I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER 
Probably the beginning of next month I bet. (October)
Any bets?

Uuuuuh Q4 is Oct-Dec. September is end of Q3.

I did say October, didn't I? 

[zalmez]

I would love to see the nordic with this

[CodeMayhem]

just noticed that the f13 in the renders is not the same as in the kit. is it going to be mod colored or alpha colored bc i prefer the mod color personally. could both be available?

Yes, it's going to be mod colored, indeed looks much better that way. A new update including that change as well as new additions coming very soon. Stay tuned.

[juliandoucette]

I'm starting to get nervous about the ergo module still being a "Todo". I really want ergo and colevrak kits for this set.

Update time—finally! The group buy for GMK Dracula is launching on October 4th on Dixie Mech, Mykeyboard.eu, Daily Clack ^{Dracc Dracc Dracc!}, and iLumkb!

All the existing kits have undergone some changes. The Core Module's wide compatibility has mostly remained the same, with some minor tweaks. The Nightmode Module reflects the same changes, as it should. The Highlight Module has received some extra color choices. With the addition of a new module, split keys have been moved from the spacebar kit, which now provides accent colors instead. The ERR! Module now has even more exciting new novelties to choose from! Unfortunately the white accented versions were dropped in order to keep the kit affordable.

Check them out (Also updated in the first post):

Without further ado... new kits!

Would love to see a r3 1u Ctrl key in 40s or a r3 1u in novelty (Err) kit.

[DuellM]

Yes!! Will definitely be picking this up at the beginning of the month

[AlcoholEnthusiast]

Sad to see the smaller spacebar + split bar + B kit removed. Was going to put on rukia but don't see buying an entire 40s kit just for split bars + B.

Would accent bars in the highlight kit not make more sense?

Either way, I'm in for quite a few of the kits, and still super excited for the set.

[forevermadrigal]

Well, I was all in but instead I'm just gonna get about 420 mac kits and I'm out

But seriously, this update was fantastic and makes the set an all in. Thanks for sneaking that 1.5 fn key in there too <3

[sevenseacat]

I'm still in for a base kit and maybe an accent/err kit, but I was so hoping for a Colemak kit >_< I'd buy one of everything if there was (except norde)

[Krakyn]

Deskmat still a possibility?

[Mtalbert]

Any proxy for Asia?

[kema]

Super excited! Still hope to see a R4 1.25u Caps Lock if possible 🙏

[srxl]

Any proxy for Asia?

Daily Clack should be covering Asia. IIRC they did it for SA Bliss, so they'll prob do it on this set too.

Hey, that's correct, we'll be taking care of Australia and Asia. Just like our past Asia GBs, there'll be a discount code for free shipping or the option to upgrade to DHL. Also, I've got AliPay working now!

And, as usual, you can reach me here or on Discord @phatty#8888

[mwahlig]

Glad to see the 40’s kit! Any chance at adding a 2u spacebar for planck/preonic users?

Oh i see. Thx for replying

[gearson]

This set looks amazing! Can't wait to have a set that matches my vs code theme!
Sorry, if this is a stuoid question, but I'm super new to mechanical keyboards. Would this set fit without issues on a Anne Pro 2 with Brown Cherry or Gateron switches?

[peterned]

For a sec there I feared for the err module with all the changes, haha!
As a coder this is my endgame, thanks for making this a putting a stop to this wallet bermuda triangle hobby (who am I kidding)

[Karni]

So excited that there is now a 40's kit and I'm 100% in. If you could please include a 1.25 enter key for Dimple compatibility I would greatly appreciate it.

[OmniSzron]

This set looks sick. Love the attention to detail. The highlight colors look fresh AF.

[VXQN]

Absolutely pumped for this, love all the changes. I've held off on some other sets to go all-in on this and I'm glad I waited.

[CodeMayhem]

Same feelsbadman. I think I'm just gonna see how Oblivion v2 alphas look on it with the nightmode kit.

[CodeMayhem]

is the group buy going to last a month?

It'll fit just fine. Switches are not a problem for keycap compatibility 95% of the time, most people use MX style switches. The layout of the Anne Pro 2 is pretty standard too, so you should be able to get away with just the base kit.

I think there is a 2u spacebar, it's just labeled incorrectly as the first 2.25u spacebar

[Dass]

Looks amazing! Can't wait. Still any chance for a desk mat?

You're right, it was just a typo. A 2u spacebar is included. Fixed now:

[LightningXI]

Any chance you will reconsider doing an R5 bottom-row?

Pretty please?

[mr scooty]

[uood5]

Gutted at the lack of ergo/colemak options, guess Oblivion will have to do for me. R2 when?

I really love how you do your IC. Makes everything interesting and it pops out so it's hard to miss!

[pr0ximity]

Any chance you will reconsider doing an R5 bottom-row?

Pretty please?

Please for the love of god.

A yes/no wouod be nice at least. But I can't see myself spending $100+ on any set without R5 at this point. Just feels so much better on a board with any angle of 8 degrees or more.

R5 bottom-row is not really in line with the modern theme of the set. It would also complicate the already complicated kits. I have not personally tried R5 yet, so I can't comment on how it feels. Maybe with another set.

[nasp]

I hope you will at least consider adding ergo blanks.



Thanks

Just saw Pikku's note that the new vendor for Asia changed to ilumkb and you will only take care of oceania region.  Can I still order on your site and get that free shipping to Beijing?  Thanks in advance!

[The_Royal]

Before we get this show on the road...

Can we just take a second to admire what a BEAUTIFUL and clear IC page this has become.

Its almost Like looking at another site page entirely.


Excited for this set as its grown on me a crazy amount these past few weeks.

Honestly the time and effort OP put into just branding the IC is astounding. Everything is on theme, and even flavor text is well done. Big set energy for sure

[hineybush]

the centered left and right arrows look weird without the centered down arrow

[BlindAssassin111]

Looks like both up and down aren't centered like left and right in the renders. I assume they should be and it is just a mistake maybe?

[MeloDet]

That might just be standard? I'm looking at my GMK Chocolatier right now and it has the same arrow set up.
