I’ve never used a brass keycap before but since it’s heavier, does/should one try to balance that out with a heavier spring or is it not really a noticeable difference?

RAMA will certainly be busy.

This one will be anodized aluminium with enamel infill.

KaosJ · « **Reply #851 on:** Sat, 23 March 2019, 06:58:48 »

Not usually buying rama alu caps but with the infill looks amazing. Insta-buy for me

sevenseacat · « **Reply #852 on:** Sat, 23 March 2019, 07:42:28 »

That Rama cap is amazing

I'm not familiar with how these collaborations usually work. Will this be on Rama's site?

Usually themed artisans are available through the same vendors & proxies as the kit itself.

Any chance of Git Modifiers kit? It would be nice to pair with other sets consider the Git modifiers is something no one thought of..

Has been discussed ad nauseum. Short answer - no.

KevinSanToast · « **Reply #857 on:** Mon, 25 March 2019, 22:47:09 »

Would it be possible to add the same light gray 1.5u "\" key from the Base set to the Assembly set? The base set is the only set with it.

adotm · « **Reply #858 on:** Tue, 26 March 2019, 01:29:08 »

100% going to jump on this, regardless of what else I have on deck. Those RAMA artisans too!

There's no \| key at all in the assembly kit and several ergodox + ergo variants + Boardwalk layouts use it. Though I'd prefer the key to be the modifier gray color rather than the alpha gray, so that if I want to use it with hagoromo alphas it won't look off.

I think it would look nice in the light gray to break up the monotony of the modifiers. Also, Hagoromo comes with it's own \ key.

I just thought that:
1. The 1.5u \ key is usually included in a standard alpha kit. The Assembly has the alphas kit included, yet the \ has been omitted.
2. Only one kit in the whole lineup actually has this key.
3. It isn't an extra mold. It is the same exact key from the Base Set
4. Still compatible with boards intended for the Assembly kit.

Looks exactly like what I was hoping for, awesome job! Will definitely be my first RAMA artisan. Can't wait for this set for my "endgame" board.

I'm just gonna preemptively address this one as someone will ask about this very soon anyways:

https://www.massdrop.com/talk/22344/massdrop-testing-local-shipping-in-european-union

Massdrop is TESTING local EU shipping through a new warehouse for a SELECTED FEW items. How this will develop in the future remains to be seen. I won't be making any assumptions/predictions about its availability for GMK Oblivion V2. This is a TEST of theirs.

Reply Bingo pick one:

Will GMK Oblivion be shipped from Europe? What about other on-going group buys?
So now we will be charged VAT?/ Why Oblivion costs more in Europe than in the US when it was made in the EU?
If this happens I will be getting 25 NORDE sets
What about an Asian warehouse?
GMK HQ RIGHT NOW
nice
What about PBT Oblivion?

Nice to see you here, Zambunny. You forgot one:

Verne will be sold through Massdrop and shipped out of their new EU warehouse when?

PS: That Serika price. Yikes!!

2) how many ISO kit were placed

grizzly_teddy · « **Reply #887 on:** Mon, 01 April 2019, 17:30:10 »

Lol nice April Fools joke... but really, I was thinking that the prices were way too low, and that you were greatly underestimating the labor cost of sorting a GB like this. I'm doing the same thing, except with blanks, so it will be a lot easier.

But can GMK sell by a per-key basis for legended kits?

Acereconkeys · « **Reply #888 on:** Mon, 01 April 2019, 17:31:23 »

I cancelled my GMK Space Cadet Assembly + Colevrak kits on the Massdrop Keycap Recap for this GB which turned out to be an April Fools joke...

Don't let me down, Oblotzky. Please make Ortholinear & Ergodox kits happen.

I heard they really want to sort themselves, probably to avoid some inexperienced sorter to bag the keys up which damages them -> damaged product tarnishes their reputation, or a GB going sideways -> also upsets people in the community which could affect future GMK sales. But this is pure speculation on my part as to what reasons there could be.

smurkcity12 · « **Reply #892 on:** Mon, 01 April 2019, 17:37:25 »

Nicely done. While I assumed it was a joke, the more time that went by the more I wanted it to be real. And the more that it made sense provided you were willing to sort keys for a few weeks lol

Probably got some decent info on peoples' preferences from that stunt. Judging from the ~80,000 Hagoromo blank 1u keys that were ordered, some kit revisions might be advisable.
