Asking one more time for Clarification
So will the assembly kit include the alpha colored Pipe key or the accent mod colored pipe key?
The Kit Render has just the alpha colored Pipe:Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/YWk7kDc.jpg)
But the Boardwalk render shows the accent Pipe key being used (which I think is preferable to most people):Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/GdTPDpR.jpg)
The renders above for the artisans show purple and blue yet only purple and dark are available. What's up?

There was some miscommunication with the artisans on my end. If you bought the dark one, it's supposed to be the blue one. Write to your local vendor about it, as the dark ones aren't going to be made. Sorry for the mixup.

Is MKUltra not going to get the artisans?

Not too sure what you mean by this. If I ordered the dark one, I'm supposed to tell the vendor it should be blue? Ask for a refund?
Why are there 4 different ESCs and 2 different mod colored pipes?
Disregard, I see why. The other layouts
There's a lot of discrepancies with the renders and the kittings, some clarification would be appreciated to some who are looking into this.
Such as your pipe in the assembly kit
You have renders of the 'Purple' and 'Blue' Keebwerk key in the thread but only Purple and Dark are offered on the vendor pages why
So what's the artisan color? Purple and dark or purple and blue? On vendor website it shows purple and dark. But in your GB and IC post it turns out to be purple and blue. I'm confused, please clarify.

66% boards sometimes/often have two 2.25u shifts.
If those numbers are correct, that has to be the first time in history that Norde has reached MOQ first.
Not to change the subject, but is there a plan to bring that abacus numpad into existence? That's an awesome design.

Placed an order with CandyKeys just fine earlier. Maybe it’s geo blocking? If you’re in North America there should be a GB proxy over there.

CandyKeys says they ship to North America.
The US proxy is MKUltra. Based on the owner's attitude in posts to r/mechanicalkeyboards and their huge backlog of unfilled orders, I'm not sure the company will still exist by the time this set is supposed to ship. I'm always afraid of buying in to the next GMK Hyperfuse.
I guess I could try a different proxy, but I figured I would get it fastest with the company based out of Germany.

I'm in the US and placed my GMK Nord order with Candykeys for much the same reason. I'd never heard of MKUltra before, so I looked at his site and his post history on Reddit. Hard pass. I had no difficulties placing my order with Candykeys shipped to a US address; give it another try later.

Thinking about pursuing this route as well. Is the street number just the number that precedes the street name? Seems kind of redundant unless I'm supposed to omit the street number from the street address...

I'm also extremely hesitant to buy from MKUltra... but to use CandyKeys like some others here, the price of international shipping would make this set way too expensive for me, on top of an already high price tag compared to some other GMK sets. I also wondered if MKUltra would actually exist next year, seeing as much of their business seems to be from cutting foam, but other companies like KBDfans themselves are now going to start cutting these foams - I imagine people will soon move on to other companies with better histories in fulfilling orders. I want Nord a lot... unsure if I should take the risk on MKUltra, and hope that if their business is going to close, they'll at least pass on the orders to another reputable vendor. Or swallow the high shipping fees from CandyKeys...
You might want to take a closer look at the price difference. Note that the prices listed on Candykeys' site include VAT, which you do not pay as a US customer. If you have an order shipped to an address in the US, VAT will get removed during checkout. When I placed my order with Candykeys, my total came to 150.99 Euros. I placed that order using a credit card that gets a good exchange rate and doesn't have additional fees for foreign transactions or currency exchange; that turned into a charge to my credit card for $170.56 for the base and numpad kits. If I place the same items in my cart on MKUltra's site, it adds up to $181.17 ($125 base + $35 numpad + $2.55 route shipping insurance + $7.02 shipping + $11.60 sales tax). So for me, it was cheaper *and* less sketchy to order from Candykeys. YMMV.Ah you're right, I tried changing my checkout location to the US on CandyKeys and without the VAT charge the total is close to the same as from MKUltra. Thanks for pointing this out! I guess I'll be going with CandyKeys. The only question now, is how to fill out the street number vs street address parts of the shipping form...
If you're in the US why not just order from DeskHero?I, um... I don't know. xD I got caught up in other US people saying they wanted to buy from CandyKeys because it's closer to GMK factories, but DeskHero would be better for me.
If you're in the US why not just order from DeskHero?
Any plans for other form factors?
Just a quick question about the numpad set, I notice that there are two '5' keys. Is one of these barred/nippled/scooped? It's a bit hard to make out from the images. I hope that one of the keycaps has a noticeable tactile difference (I think a nipple would be my preference).
Numbers (without extras):nice :thumb:,now hurry up and make that kit :))
Base kit: 1040
Norde kit: 116
Novelty kit: 435
Numpad kit: 182
Assembly kit: 112
Spacebar kit: 165
Thank you to everyone who participated in the gb. reaching 1000 naturally was a very nice surprise.
Man, Im surprised by how many people picked up the novelty kit. While I think the base kit is super ****ing clean, the novelties kinda dont do anything for me (of course thats super subjective)
Is that a 1.5 Shift on the assembly kit?

Yikes lol. I guess Shopify handles these on a by-case basis. I run my store through them and have never had an issue with held funds. They did email me before my first "big" payment asking why the items weren't fulfilled yet; I simply explained that I operate on a group buy/pre-order model and they released them the next day. Haven't had a problem since.
At Shopify's insistence, MKUltra sent out a status update email to their mailing list a couple of days ago. Apparently Shopify is withholding their funds from orders until they catch up on fulfillment (and has been doing so for the past two and a half months). In amidst his woes, there are two mentions of GMK Nord specifically:
"Shopify is still not happy with this. They are expecting that somehow we ship all group buy orders immediately, and that is a condition for releasing funds. This is impossible, especially since GMK Nord hasn't even been paid for yet - because Shopify has the funds!"
"[GB] GMK Nord: The group buy concluded July 10 and the order has been placed. We are waiting on invoices from GMK at this point so this is still on track even with the funds hold, as it should be cleared up by the time the invoice arrives."

i believe shopify is holding that money because they're fed up with the number of cancelled orders. if i were shopify i'd monitor the cancellation ratio, the timeframe between orders and shipments, etc. it's the very same concept as multiplayer gaming, several users reported you? then you'll play with users with the same behaviour or you'll get a cooldown period, etc. to be honest i'm glad that shopify have these safety measures. this action is not related to the group buys, that's a big lie, it's related to all the other orders, the tons of cancellations and the unsatisfied customers.That's unfortunate to hear. I personally have not had any bad experiences with mkultra.
and what about mkultra? the guy got what he deserves. after years of constant lying it's time to vanish from this hobby. i'm not a hater, i ordered from him a few months ago. he did not ship for two months or more, i went to his discord to personally ask him about it, promised a date, missed it, u asked again, promised another date, missed it as well, shipped another 2 weeks later. and all these after he admitted on r/mechmarket that his business sucks and his communication is rude or just doesn't exist at all. i believed him for the first few times but now it seems repetitive, lying for months then admits it, promises to change everything then goes back to lying again.
people in us: tell the gb organizers to choose a different vendor and don't buy anything from mkultra. that's all.

Happens more often than you think. We too are currently under suspension for the same reasons until next month. The bad news for participants here is that without cash reserves there is nothing MK will be able to do. We survived this issue by recommending buyers use PayPal at checkout while this was occurring. They also told me under no circumstances do they bring the review dates forward either, which last for 120 days.
Question tho, i'm kinda new so i don't know if my order will be affected. I ordered GMK Nord thru ZF together with GMK Hammerhead. Is this going to push thru? I mean not sure what mkultra is.

MKUltra is a US based vendor, the discussion here was regarding a concern that there would be a hold up in MKUltra placing the order for GMK Nord because Shopify (the payment system they use) was withholding funds. This is no longer the case, so there’s nothing to worry about.
You’d have to check with ZF about how they handle it when two pre-orders are placed in the same transaction, but I’d assume that each gets sent separately. Both sets are due in ‘Early 2021’ so if they have to wait till both sets are produced, you might have to wait a bit longer for whichever is produced first.
Any update on the status of this keyset, and when its gonna be fulfilled?
most likely not anytime soon. expect sometime next year around the same time (q3/q4).

As for the ZF Purchase. Sadly i purchased them all together, including the grab bags, which was in stock when i bought it, ZF really have horrible after sales! I mean i had to email them a couple of time, then get a response but does not say my request will be done, my request was to get different receipts for each item for tax purposes.
I didn't realize that i had to purchase separately :)) but i didn't really need to grab bags anyways, so i'm guessing all 3 will be shipped all together next year. ^-^ Lesson learned. But moving forward i will get all my stuff via SK, given how Stef and the SK Discord community helped me out last time. As long as they can ship to the Philippines on my future purchases, i'll be buying all stuff i wanted from them. (I'm eyeing on Nightshade, Alpine65 KB, GMK Alpine, JTK Nightsakura, GMK Colorchrome... Man, i just realized the more i stay in this forum, the more i get deeper.
Also waiting for a good 1800 layout, i need it 1. (i passed on the mini 1800's)
The last thing I heard about this was in an email update from MKUltra last week (9/4/20):
"GMK Nord
C'mon GMK, get with the program! We need an invoice!"
Have the other vendors been invoiced by GMK yet? Or is there one invoice that gets sent to a lead vendor that they all contribute to? I have no idea how they handle that.
Mkultra sent out an update yesterday that included this about GMK Nord, so I guess they've almost paid GMK:
"GMK Nord
We've been waiting forever for an invoice and finally our prayers were heard. The invoice has been received, payment is pending and to celebrate we've put up a limited number of extras already! Grab them while they're hot!"
Has any color matching been going on, or is GMK waiting until after they get paid to start that? They've been really slow at color matching during the pandemic. Gtrx? Any comment?

Candykeys still says samples approved on their site, but I didn't think designer ever got samples? Is there any update on this?
Gtrx on discord:
@everyone
Concerning GMK Nord updates: I'm sorry for going radio silent for a long time. From now on, I will focus on weekly updates every saturday.
Samples: Due to miscommunication with gmk, I received samples of very old colors. R2 has been requested with up to date ones, so these ones aren't very representative of Gmk Nord. The alpha and mod colors are especially different. The only color that stayed the same is the green.
Deskmats: R1 samples have been rejected, as they weren't what I envisioned them and I am awaiting r2.
Thank you for supporting gmk nord heart
Is there like any updates to this? It's been a year. :-[
Bumping for an update~
Where's my Nord.. :-[
The lack on communication on this really unprofessional. At this point, I think we're all expecting a Dracula - I just wish we weren't left to speculate without updates from the gb-runner.
"I mean", the discord link in the op is to the wrong one and all the links to the new one on the old discord are invalid.The lack on communication on this really unprofessional. At this point, I think we're all expecting a Dracula - I just wish we weren't left to speculate without updates from the gb-runner.
I mean, the main post says that more frequent updates can be found on his discord-server. (there are two of those btw, make sure to join the "v2" one)
The latest update came yesterday saying that r2 samples has arrived and that 2 of the 4 still not decided on have been approved.
Any deskmat updates?
News from the gtrx discord:
12/28: David from Candykeys said they’d received an additional round of samples and were sending them to gtrx. 5 colors remain unconfirmed. This is a little over 2 months from the last round of colors.
Edit: I’d asked on the discord if Gtrx had provided Ral plastic chips to GMK to match; to my knowledge I wasn’t answered.

The major issue is that picking RAL's or Pantone's (that actually exist!) is a best guess in many cases to begin with. How can anyone communicate to a manufacturer what color they want? Some colorants in ABS keep it translucent, ABS has a natural color that needs to be countered, some colorants are banned, some colorants may make toxic gas in ABS, etc. etc.
IMHO, I think it's asking too much of many of the designers around here to understand the plastic manufacturing process.
The point I see is that GMK and other Plastic MFR's won't even do color-matching until they get paid for the set as a whole. Otherwise they'd be color-matching forever on sets that won't ever exist (because the colors will 'never match' instead of making actual keycaps).
OMG. What a huge letdown. The vendors and designers know that as well. Probably why they're selling it at a loss.
Base kit was originally $135 during GB, now it's $67.25. WTF!

Just to be clear, no designers are ever expected to do the actual formulating to arrive at the desired color for manufacturing. There are "color houses" whose entire business is to formulate color concentrate mixtures that achieve the target color at a given loading concentration (sometimes you'll buy the resin pre-colored; no idea what GMK does, but that's really not important).
The designer's role is to ideally select the correct target color that the supplier will match (they will match whatever is provided, if physically possible). If it turns out that the color in real, physical form is not what the designer intended, then the dreaded "color matching" cycle begins. This is where a lot of inexperienced designers seem to get caught. Translating from a screen to physical form is not trivial, and physical samples are always going to make things easier. Without some guidance or experience it's very easy to mess this up. However, despite being hard, it is still part of the designer's job to get right.
Pour one out for the homieOMG. What a huge letdown. The vendors and designers know that as well. Probably why they're selling it at a loss.

tbf mkultra is shutting down and selling everything at "factory price"

I took some photos and will do more to show how it looks. I am very happy with it.
For now i made a setup with neutral artificial light and put a RAL Chart and GMK Sample Rings in front so you can check that it is as neutral as possible. Will add more pictures soon.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/wP4DnZK.jpg)

Does anyone know if MK Ultra has started shipping Nord yet?
Anyone hear from mkultra about Nord yet? I mailed them and didn't hear back.

MKUltra was shipping keyboard foam 6+ months after orders -before- both the pandemic and health complications, and not everyone got their orders. So this may happen, but I dont think anyone should be surprised that it's going slowly.Gah! Those legends look like my little 12-year-old's keyboard. NSFW.
If you're sad you missed the full nord color matching / delays, you could consider:

Has anyone received their GMK Nord kits from MKUltra yet? Thinking of pulling the trigger on a charge back since they've been noncommunicative and I can't imagine how they wouldn't have received their shipment from GMK by now.
Happen to have the link for MKUltra discord?

Just make sure your order’s not waiting on a deskmat or some other ancillary product. If it is and you just want your caps maybe you can just ask for the caps instead.

Are deskmats holding back some orders?
I was actually the first order placed for this GB when it went live on MK Ultra. Even confirmed by Eric himself.
I haven't received my order yet. And no answer from the man either when asked for a refund.
Kinda bummed - I've even been to his shop a couple of times and helped out with customer orders, had lunch together, etc.
:(
Did anyone receive their GMK Nord sets with Deskmat from Candykeys? I see it in-stock on their side :(
Hey DarKou, not long until its done, I will inform when you have it coming.
Im still waiting on my MKultra order from when he announced the sale....
Still haven’t received the keebwerk artisan either. Best GB ever.
