I have been trying to figure out what the best way to update numbers are - with just kits sold, or with the total numbers including extras. I'm choosing to go with extras because it is actually representative of what will be purchased and where we are with the MOQs.

Here are the total numbers with extras

Base - 245
Hiragana - 70
40's - 51
Novelties - 147
Spacebar - 89
Rama - 139

With extras we are basically to MOQ on the base and novelties, and really close for everything else! Solid first day.

Current numbers with extras

Base - 273
Hiragana - 82
40's - 56
Novelties - 162
Spacebar - 100
Rama - 159

MOQ for base, spacebars, and novelties has been hit. Hiragana and 40's just have to get to 100! Things are going well, and I am confident to say that all kits will be produced at this point.

Will there be photos of the GMK samples before the GB ends? Pantone chips are nice, but they don't really show the contrast of the alphas.

Not before the GB ends. GMK doesnt usually start color sampling until an order is placed. We have gone ahead and ordered more Pantone Chips, and will be sending them to GMK to start color matching now though.

Hi. I'm super interested in this set, but I'd like to know if purchasing the Hiragana kit, Spacebar kit, Novelty kit would be sufficient for a 65% keyboard with a 1.75u Shift. Of course, I don't mind using Novelties as arrows etc. Better yet, it'll be nice if the Hiragana in the base kit was an option. I'd definitely pay a premium for that option.


Thank you for the reply!

Hiragana is an option in the base kit! Just pay $62 extra to add the Hiragana kit. ;)

The ergodox kit from GMK Pulse would work. That's what I plan on using with Vaporwave hiragana if I ever sell some crap I'm not using.

Final day! Just as an FYI for how I close GB's on my store. As long as they item is still purchaseable, it is still open. I typically don't stay up late, so I close GB's the morning of. Not always the case.

Updated numbers with extras (most proxies up to date)

Base - 639
Hiragana - 214
40's - 107
Novelties - 339
Spacebar - 230
Rama - 291

We are seeing a pretty strong final day surge. Not sure if we will hit 1000 base, but its possible!

I missed the order window for GMK Vaporwave and was wondering if there were any extra sets for sale, or if I could still manage to squeeze in an order. I was interested in Base, Hirigana, and Novelties kits.

Processing of the orders. These are all from the same product page, so they will all need to be processed at the same time.

If the RAMA delays continue - for Covid-19 or any other reason - is there a date after which you would consider figuring out a means of fulfilling orders that don't have RAMA caps?

I'm trying hard here not to tell you how to run your business, because I know I hate it when my customers do the same to me.

That said, I really urge you to consider developing a method to fulfill orders that do not include RAMA caps, or any other SKU which has a different supplier than the other SKUs, while waiting on that SKU to be available.

As a customer, waiting for fulfillment because a SKU I didn't order hasn't delivered yet, particularly while all of the other proxies are delivering, feels BAD.  Like, so bad that it's going to subconsciously influence my decision to buy in the future.  Even if, as is the case, I have purchased from you several times with zero bad experiences.

A couple things here.

1 - RAMA keycaps are completed and currently in transit to the RAMA WORKS team. They expect they will have this shipped out to us this coming week.
2 - I understand that it can be frustrating to have to wait just a little bit more.

But, in terms of the RAMA keycaps in the future - there are two options.

1 - I separate them out, just like I do with deskpads. This means that there would have to be separate shipping paid for the RAMA keycaps vs the GMK (or other manu) keycap GB.
2 - I continue doing them like they are, which I believe is the better of the two options. Customers get to save on shipping costs, and have the keycaps shipped all together.


This is the first delay that we have ever seen with RAMA, and it was caused by an event that no one could predict. We already have on hand other RAMA keycaps for future GB's where we are just waiting on the keycaps. This is just a one off experience so far.

Through this experience though, we have been completely transparent and open. We have kept everyone updated. Processing and shipping out over 500 orders is something that needs to be as organized as possible to minimize any type of errors.

If this is so bad of an experience for you, I apologize and will understand if you do not purchase from us in the future.

I totally agree with you. I have purchased total $2K worth of goods from the NovelKeys since May 2018, but this is the first time that I faced this ridiculous situation.
I wonder why the RAMA keys were complete production later than the delayed Vaporwave set even though they had so much more time to be produced because the Vaporwave set was months behind the original scheduled date.
I don't know if this is the fault of the RAMA or the fault of the NovelKeys, but I think they should apologize properly.
There are many other GBs to be received from the NovelKeys in the future, but this is a real challenge. I don't want to go through this again.

Partially fulfilling orders from the same Group Buy would be an absolute nightmare. Think of it no differently than if they were waiting on a child kit like spacebars etc. It's not feasible to expect Mike and the team to sift through every order to see what can and cannot be fulfilled, when it is far easier to wait till the kits are complete and knock them out at once.

If it's just a delay, of course it won't matter because I participated in the second round of SA Symbiosis haha. Well, let's say partial shipping is hard, but why did Rama caps production not go as fast as other GB's, even though it had enough time? There was enough explanation for it, but I simply didn't see it?

Someone referred to a late NK shipment as “a challenge”. Jeez dude, they’re key caps. Talk about first world problems. Lol.  :))

Are we going to go through all of this again with more GBs that included rama caps?

Any GB's that have RAMA keycaps will need all components before shipping out.

I'm trying hard here not to tell you how to run your business, because I know I hate it when my customers do the same to me.

That said, I really urge you to consider developing a method to fulfill orders that do not include RAMA caps, or any other SKU which has a different supplier than the other SKUs, while waiting on that SKU to be available.

As a customer, waiting for fulfillment because a SKU I didn't order hasn't delivered yet, particularly while all of the other proxies are delivering, feels BAD.  Like, so bad that it's going to subconsciously influence my decision to buy in the future.  Even if, as is the case, I have purchased from you several times with zero bad experiences.

I totally agree with you. I have purchased total $2K worth of goods from the NovelKeys since May 2018, but this is the first time that I faced this ridiculous situation.
I wonder why the RAMA keys were complete production later than the delayed Vaporwave set even though they had so much more time to be produced because the Vaporwave set was months behind the original scheduled date.
I don't know if this is the fault of the RAMA or the fault of the NovelKeys, but I think they should apologize properly.
There are many other GBs to be received from the NovelKeys in the future, but this is a real challenge. I don't want to go through this again.

"I don't know if this is the fault of the RAMA or the fault of the NovelKeys, but I think they should apologize properly."

Lol, what?

Do you want a personal letter from Mike or something?

The only people getting upset are probably some keycap flippers who are upset that they are losing first mover advantage.

Sorry for the wording on my part. I'm just bummed out about another delay on a set I'm (still) really looking forward to and also wanted to know if the same thing could happen in other sets that had a rama cap pairing. Definitely didn't mean to start some huge flame war about it, so again I apologize.

SA Symbiosis, which I've been waiting for for over a year, explained exactly why production is delayed and I've been waiting quietly because manager fully explained why. But this is different, isn't it?
There wasn't enough explanation for why RAMA keycap production delayed, just saying that the RAMA keycap didn't arrive so they send them together when RAMA keycap arrived.
should I just shut up and wait until they ship it to me, instead of acting like I haven't participated in any of the other GBs?

I ordered this set from NovelKeys, so there's no first mover avantage of Flipper. lol
Because NovelKey releases the extras as soon as they ships out the GB.
What I just said was never meant to blame NovelKeys. I'm just saying that someone seems to be sarcastic about this situation as a complaint from Flipper.

Rama has been backed up for a long time. They took on too much production since every GB has some kind of Rama cap.

No need to wonder anymore.

You don't have to shut up, but asking for an apology from Mike because Rama is slow is silly. If you ask for something silly, then expect backlash.

Come to think of it, in about a week or two more, I could get Vaporwave, but I think I said something meaningless.
I'll just wait quietly.
Again, I apologize to all those who might have been hurt by my words.

IMO the biggest frustration from this is that the caps for probably about half of people's orders are at NK, ready to be shipped, but being delayed further by something that doesn't affect their orders at all, while other vendors for this set haven't had the same issue and have been shipping out to people already. By the time the RAMA caps arrive to NK and things start shipping out, it will already be almost a month of an extra delay with the caps being in stock, just held up by a system that seems to only be affecting NK.

My ask to NK and Mike is: don't change the current system since it sounds like it might cause other issues.  But consider doing things differently for future.  Pls don't give curt NO unless you can explain the difference with other vendors.

Not all vendors have shipped out, and I might be mistaken, but I think Daily Clack is the only vendor that has shipped out. We all use different methods for accepting and fulfilling orders. There is not a set standard that every vendor uses. A lot of us use Shopify, but NovelKeys only uses Shopify to accept orders - not to fulfill them.

There are mainly two reasons that we aren't able to change this system. One is how we process orders. Everything in the same product page needs to be processed together. I keep deskpads separate for this very reason. I know that deskpads will always arrive earlier than the keycaps. The second reason is the volume. I dont want to get into specifics of other vendors numbers, but NA sales are vastly greater than EU, Australia, and Asia sales combined.

The only way this will be able to be changed in the future is if I separate RAMA keycaps from future GB's. I do not have any plans on doing that. This is a one off delay that we have had from RAMA. Our order was place with RAMA at the same time of the keycaps. I am not sure of the exact details why it has had a delay, but I do know that this is a special coated keycaps, and then the corona virus hit.

Totally agree with keeping things together.  IMO - the more I could combine with each GB the better to save on shipping.  I wish desk pads could be combined but I'm sure there is a reason.  Keep up the great work Mike.

Woo scored based and 40's kits. Been up for about 30 minutes and Hirigana, 40s and spacebars already sold out but base still there as are the really cool novelties. So irritated I passed on the GB, non-GB pricing means I didn't grab novelties lol. Thanks for posting the extras NK, love you guys

Missed the time by half an hour, and the 40's are already gone. Any hope for a second run?

I had no intention of getting VW; however, after receiving the RAMA cap in the mail, it was cool enough that I felt obliged to buy the basekit.

I had the same experience. For the initial GB, I only bought RAMA cap since it looked interesting in the renders. Once it arrived, it was even better than renders so figured I gotta get the base kit as well and snatched one extra  :)

Best pink of any keyset. Wish Miami Nights had a pink this nice. It's perfect.

Is this pantone?

Since there was no deskmat with this, anyone have a good deskmat option to pair with this set?

Oh that looks sick. I put mine on a Grid600 with the purple peaks module. Your purple is definitely the better match though.[attachimg=1]

Any chance that there will be a R2 in the possible future?

Considering the stupid nonsense GMK is pulling with retrowave, and this set has that same "sunset" novelty which GMK is of the absurdly dumb, and objectively incorrect belief. that MiTo/Laser has some claim to that symbol, it might not be possible. Screw GMK.

I'm sure they will come to an agreement, regardless, that's just one novelty, it's hardly an essential part for this set.

I might add that you shouldn't blame GMK for this, they aren't obliged to produce every set and have all the right to refuse. In this case however they're trying to defend themselfs from a potential lawsuit, it's understandable and any sane person running a company would do the same in their shoes.

Yes, they have the right to refuse a perfectly legitimate set for no good reason, and I have the right to tell them to go  screw themselves for it.
There is nothing for them to "defend themselves" over. It is a simple, an obvious fact, that the novelty in question in no way belongs to Laser.
They are not trying to prevent a lawsuit in this case, something suspicious is going on, hence their secretiveness and lack of transparency. At the very least, they screwed up, and canceled a set for no good reason, possibly based on faulty info, or at the behest of someone they play favorites with, and now refuse to admit this mistake, and are just trying to save their own image.
