As always, add about 1-2 months for delays.

GMK's current lead time is 20 weeks from when the order is placed. With shipping to each of the vendors, customs clearance and packaging that should leave us around May 2019.

Question: does GMK Olivia ++ provide "Back Space" keycap for R2? I preordered Rama 65B, and their backspace is on R2

there is no R2 Backspace in GMK Olivia++, this set has R2 Delete instead (like the original HHKB)

Yes, This is my only concern from the first day Olivia++ launched. This will not fit nicely in my Rama Koyu.
They are the same key, just different legends (though basically the same if you come from the Mac/HHKB side). It will fit just fine on your Koyu.

Not really, Since the Koyu has R2 1,5u "Backspace", and R1 1u "Delete" + R1 1u "\". It is just not perfect to replace R1 1u "Delete" with other R1 key such as "Print", "Lock", "Pause" and "Insert."

"Delete" is delete, "Backspace" is backspace.

Would appreciate if this GB can add 1,5u "Backspace."

What? The Koyu pcb will run VIA, you can make any key what ever you want. What are you basing your claim that "the Koyu has R2 1,5u "Backspace", and R1 1u "Delete" + R1 1u "\"", the renders? Personally I never use R1 1u Delete on my 65s it just looks too weird on that top row. Also it's way to late to ask for this change. This should have been mentioned during the IC phases of the keyset.

Guys, chill. I respect Olivia's decision as GB runners for this decision.
Did not ask for change. Said "Would appreciate if this GB can add 1,5u "Backspace.""
Only hoping like other successful GB reach way above MOQ, maybe in the end as a bonus, there is a surprise additional key that which is R2 1,5u "Backspace" or other Novelties.

Yes, KOYU has VIA to play around with. I can change any keys whatever i want with VIA to my KOYU.

Just a friendly FYI, RAMA KOYU has build in Plate which is unibody with the top Case/Cover.
And the top row is only milled with 1u, and the PCB is also fixed 1u top row. Link to Rama Works KOYU unboxing (
t=8s). And attached pictures directly from Rama page.* RW-KOYU-MONO-HAZE_2048x2048.jpg (93.11 kB - downloaded 154 times.)

Meaning, KOYU does not have top Row 2u "Backspace".
The Default "Backspace" layout for KOYU is R2 1,5u.
If want to move Backspace to top row, meaning i must use R1 1u Backspace.
However, R1 1u "Backspace" is not included in this GB. So, meaning i got to fill in the top row with other R1 1u available such as "Print", "Scroll, "Pause", and others.

KOYU is not as flexible as your M65A or upcoming M65B which has 2u "backspace" option on the plate.
(unlucky for us KOYU owners).
And not sure whether M60A has a fixed all 1u top row or not, Any M60A owners here?

Hope it enlighten the thoughts.

Cheers.
Peace out you all.

Chill guys.
I come in peace.

I support GB runner 100% for their decision. And did not ask for a change.
Just saying that "This will not fit nicely on my KOYU." Already explained the reason in my reply to Tyson.

No more argument.

But, really, really wishing if this GB surpasses way higher than MOQ, there is surprise bonus key. Maybe R1 1u Novelty, or maybe R2 1,5u Novelty.  :p

Cheers.
Peace out.

Because in that case you would need to buy both regular base and the dark alpha kit...? Now you can just buy the dark base and be done with it.

Normally your cynicism is on point, but this community is actually pretty decent (in large part because people can vote with their wallets or start their own projects instead of just sucking it up and buying a Corsair).

If people want more complete ISO support they can buy Umbra or Nautilus Nightmares or wait for Nord or one of the KAT sets (which supports even more languages).

Its not like being a fan of anime outside of Japan and having no ability to financially support the creators or influence the market, you can offer feedback in the IC, get blown off, leave, and choose to support buys that offer what you want instead.

Ah, it does look pretty wack having "Delete" 1u on the top row, and right below it above enter having another "Delete."

I use Delete more than anything for work, so I need it on the base layer. Meh, I'll just do what I've always done and use a boop-able matching artisan for the 1u.

Imagine asking for iso in every IC with those pathetic turnout.

Litterally can't even come up with half of the Hihihi or Rama numbers.
As far as I'm aware most (but not all) ISO users also have seperate language specific characters aswell, so offering just the ISO UK set without the additional language keys for French, Dutch, German, Nordics etc. really doesn't give the set many potential buyers. Just a theory.
Yeah, you are right. This kit is useless to people from Germany(+Austria) and France(+Switzerland). So the ISO-Kit ignores the two biggest european countries (170 Million people, not even counting the nordic countries). For me that means I'm not buying the base kits and extras, just because my legends are not covered.

Great job!

Wow, double "Delete" key is a pretty dope, so we won't miss that delete key right after we miss-type anything. ***Just kidding***
Yes, an artisan or novelties will do nice to cover the R1 1u, should find Rose Gold Aluminum R1. Does Rama has Rose Gold R1 1u keycaps?   

Maybe, FUYU should change that R2 1,5 "backspace" to "delete" as well. @Mcnos though you gonna make EPBT for FUYU. How bout the Pyramid scheme, EPBT then GMK. Look at Toxic, first JTK, then GMK.

If you have no interest on buying the set or any of the extra stuff, or you want to ask about the GB timeline or any other GB aspect or have serious concerns about the vendors selling this set that should be known by the rest fo the community, why do you keep posting on this thread?

Just because you post about it over a dozen times doesn't mean that neither the group buy runner or other people are not aware of your position and have not taken it into consideration.

That feeling when the keycap designer actually verifies that your concern is valid and it's being considered.

2) Threadcrapping: If you aren't interested in joining a group buy, STAY OUT OF THE GROUP BUY THREAD. This goes doubly so if you disagree with the way the buy is being run, the product being purchased, or have any other complaint not relevant to buying into the group buy. Repeat offenders put themselves in danger of moderator action.

What he's saying is true though :)

But I guess life's rough when you use a niche layout in a niche hobby amirite.

Yeah... it'll hit the already low MOQ eventually. An extension kit with a HHKB delete with 'Backspace' on it and whatever else people are shouting for now for might sell 3 times as many (at the same price?), but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  the UK ISO kit is actually pretty neat since it can cover a light and dark base at the same time for a reasonable price.

Yeah, you are right. This kit is useless to people from Germany(+Austria) and France(+Switzerland). So the ISO-Kit ignores the two biggest european countries (170 Million people, not even counting the nordic countries). For me that means I'm not buying the base kits and extras, just because my legends are not covered.

Great job!
Just because you post about it over a dozen times doesn't mean that neither the group buy runner or other people are not aware of your position and have not taken it into consideration.

Because I tried to get a statement for a seperate NorDeUK-Addon Groupbuy. The chance has vanished now, since people are not going to order Base Kits on the possibility that it might be useable one day.

Please dont be mad.

Care to share how you 'made your own' set of blanks? For the sake of getting all of the whiners, to shut up, of course.
