GMK Noel
Live in April 2020 on https://gmknoel.com/

> Discord Server (https://discord.gg/adRMMUS)
> Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/agilr1/)

Inspired by the character Noel from Celestial Method, this set aims to bring the cute and endearing theme onto GMK keycaps through light pastel colours and adorable novelty motifs.

Vendors
Group Buy will be available from April 1st to May 1st, with shipment planned for December 2020

Colours were initially colour-matched with a physical sample from the source, with "Pastel Pink", "Fine Blue" and "Fitness Blue" being the final custom colours used after playing with similar colours to see which variants would work best for the set. WS2 was chosen over the typical WS1 as it provides a more cooler tone, which helps define and tie in the overall theme better.

We're off to an amazing start to GMK Noel!
Thanks to everyone who was able to join the Group Buy on Day 1!


Day 1 Numbers: (Please keep in mind some vendor(s) have yet to submit and/or numbers are delayed)
Base: 162
Hiragana: 62
Extension: 19
Novelties: 63
Deskmat Blue: 24
Deskmat Pink: 10

We've almost reached the MOQ targets for almost all kits in Day 1!!! Extensions needs some love, so if you're looking to purchase one later, be sure to purchase it ASAP so that we can guarantee it gets made. I am committed to getting every kit to MOQ, and am willing to buy a majority to ensure it happens. But we need all your help to make it happen! :thumb:

And thanks to all of you for making this all possible! I couldn't imagine a world last year where I'd be designing a keyset for the community, and to see it right now being made a reality, is simply awe-inspiring.  :)

Sorry for the late reply!

The Keypora was raffled off before GB on the 28th, but you'll have a chance to obtain the Sirius on the 15th this month.
These artisans are open for anyone to join!

More info will be announced here and on our discord (https://discord.gg/adRMMUS) when we get more details on it.

Hey everyone! Thanks to all of you for the strong week 1 numbers, we couldn't have done it without y'all!


Tentative Week 1 Numbers: (As of April 8, outdated on 4 vendors)
Base: 372
Hiragana: 131
Extension: 39
Novelties: 169
Deskmat Blue: 52
Deskmat Pink: 31

At the moment, it looks like everything will be made apart from possibly Extensions kit, so let's show some love for the smaller boards by picking one up today! I am committed to getting every kit made, and will be able to buy a portion to ensure that happens if we don't reach MOQ by the end of GB.

I am committed to getting every kit made, and will be able to buy a portion to ensure that happens if we don't reach MOQ by the end of GB.

These two sentences seem to contradict each other. Are you or other vendors going to buy up the rest of the Extension kit if it doesn't hit MOQ? Or are you planning on buying up the rest only if it gets close enough to MOQ that you feel it's worth it?

And if Extensions doesn't hit MOQ, are people that ordered Extensions given the option for a full refund, or just for Extensions?

Thanks, I love the set and really hope all kits get made!

Hey, sorry for not making it clear at the start. Vendors will be buying some extras, and if that isn't enough to reach MOQ, I will personally be buying kits until it gets made. How much so is dependent on the success of our other kits, but I'd be happy to buy at least 10-20 kits to ensure no one gets left behind.

Oh no! I wish I had seen the IC when it launched.

GMK bleached uses the same WS2 bright white, and I -think- that’s a 2u split in there. That buy starts tomorrow. Honestly, from someone who buys bars kits for just the 2.25/2.75u, you can probably find someone to just sell you that one...

2u split spacebar is included in Extensions Kit. As for 2u shift, unfortunately there isn't much I can change now once quotes are done. I'll try to get it added, but I can't make any promises. Sorry about that.

How much so is dependent on the success of our other kits, but I'd be happy to buy at least 10-20 kits to ensure no one gets left behind.

Oh no! I wish I had seen the IC when it launched.

The set has no 2U shift key! Would it be possible to add it now?

GMK bleached uses the same WS2 bright white, and I -think- that’s a 2u split in there. That buy starts tomorrow. Honestly, from someone who buys bars kits for just the 2.25/2.75u, you can probably find someone to just sell you that one...

2u split spacebar is included in Extensions Kit. As for 2u shift, unfortunately there isn't much I can change now once quotes are done. I'll try to get it added, but I can't make any promises. Sorry about that.

any update on the 2u shifts?
Hey!

Unfortunately, we won't be able to offer 2u shifts as we have already used up our quotes prior to Group Buy.

Sorry about that! :(

Post by: Agilr on Fri, 01 May 2020, 02:01:47
Today is the final day for all vendors!
Be sure to Get Noel for No L

Thanks to everyone for making this such a successful Group Buy, which in my mind means that all kits are made so that no one gets left behind, which we surpassed less than halfway through it!


(https://i.imgur.com/lJlaiIn.jpg)

In other news, we'll be collaborating with CYSM caps to bring you some very cute artisans we'd think you'd enjoy!
There will be about 150 caps being raffled off, so you'll have a good chance on getting that No L!

As for the artisan sales time, it will be as of the following:
Boba - 4AM GMT, 1st of May
Booo - 8AM GMT, 1st of May
Keyby - 12PM GMT, 1st of May

All raffle forms will open for 4 hours and payment period will be 12 hours from receiving respective invoices. Links to forms will be provided on the discord server (https://discord.gg/adRMMUS) once open. Best of luck to everyone!

GMK Noel as officially concluded (some vendors are still open for a few hours so grab a set before it's gone)!
Thank you to everyone for making this all possible; it's been such a great successful Group Buy and I couldn't have done it without all your help!

We'll have numbers finalised within the coming days as we sort out final orders and extras, but it makes me proud to say we've reached 1000 Base Kits Sold!

Also, BeasttrollMC was able to unbox the final deskmats available for the set, so if you want to see what it might look like, go check it out! (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/596593611?t=02h38m57s)

Good news everyone! GMK has informed us that they're set to finish production of GMK Noel by December! However, they've advised us that although they'd like to get it done before Holidays, some delays may occur that may push it back to being delivered to you till February. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen, but it's great to hear we finally have an update for the set!

Noel might not of been able to make it by Christmas, but it's a pleasant surprise seeing it before our delayed estimate.
It seems due to DHL restrictions in Germany some vendors have received the set unexpectedly before others.
They should be shipping to most vendors now, with some vendors shipping out possibly as early as next week!

I'd like to thank you all for your patience, and I hope you'll be able to enjoy your set soon.

A few people in the discord has it as well. I'll see when mine gets shipped eventually.

I got mine today and well, it's all over the R3 profile and a few on R2 keys (specifically I to pipe key row). They do have some shine, which doesn't bother me but it's still something GMK should fix (especially my 7U spacebar warping a little bit).

I haven't received my sets, but from the looks of things, it seems to be a common issue. Cannonkeys is currently investigation how prevelant the problem is, and will be working to hopefully resolve this.

Sorry that this is happening, but it seems to be a common occurence with recent sets, so hopefully we can work with GMK to get it sorted.

Received Noel and I honestly can't believe how well it turned out even with all the amazing images around; it really does not do this set justice!
A huge shout-out to Upas and all the vendors for making this set possible, and I hope you'll be able to enjoy your set!

I hope it will be handled like Oblivion where everyone surely get fixed kit. I got tracking of GMK Metaverse 2 around Dec 14,2020 and by the time it arrived at my doorstep which was Jan 14, 2021, the time to submit form was expired.
