In for base + novelties + adventure deskmat.
I've been looking for a set to throw on my K-Type for a while and I really think this will be perfect :D might actually get some use out of the RGB for a change doing a cinder effect.
Day One Numbers (Missing a couple Proxies, no extras added)MoreAshes Kit(Base): 92
Ghost Kit(Alt Alphas): 38
Caldera Kit(Accent/Novelties): 46
Lahar Kit(Spacebars): 22
Basalt Kit(40s/UK-ISO): 16
Adventurer Deskmat: 59
Ghost Deskmat: 26
Are the ship out dates for the desk mats going to be the same as the keysets? Not sure if the plan is to ship everything out at the same time or as the production orders are met. I'm getting both the ghost and adventurer mat :D

Per 159's message on discord when someone asked the same thing: "Deskmats usually arrive quicker than keycaps. Production lead time is lower, but still subject to color sample and shipment by sea. I would say q3 to be safe but honestly with recent worldwide effects of covid19, a lot of dates have been up in the air."
Ashes is off to a great start so far!
Current Numbers going into today:
Ashes Kit(Base): 161

Dvorcol, just wanted to give you a heads up that you have the the Adventure Deskmat and the Lahar Spacebar kit swapped on the line graph. Thank you for posting updated graphs for the set! It's awesome to see the progress down the line and to look at the jumps in sales! :)

Do to poor sales numbers for a full week, the Basalt Kit is being cut from the keyset. I apologize to the 16 people who bought the kit, you can contact your vendor to get a refund for it.

I had been in thoughts which gray set should I buy (Ashes, Apollo or Lunar) but after cancelling Basalt this set is no buy for me.Waiting until the end of the gb to cancel a low selling kit is worse. If basalt never hit MOQ by the end then people that only wanted ashes if they could get basalt would likely have missed alternative group buys that had kits to support their layout of choice.
This groupbuy is the huge disappointment.
Update: saw the message from your Discord. Sorry for emotions. I appreciate your efforts. But anyway, why you didn't want to wait until the end of groupbuy, I don't know.
A question about deskmats, what is the surface material? Is it cloth or something hard? Asking from a mouse pad perspective, i.e. how good is it for a mouse.Yeah I've ordered deskmats that go with keysets before and they're made of the same material as most mouse pads (the soft ones, not the hard plastic ones). Sometimes they're a little thicker than a mouse pad (4mm). IMO they're great for mice and usually dampen the sound of a keyboard a little.
I agree with this, and Tyson did originally say they were going to drop 40s because of lack of interest, but we asked and he tried it anyway. It didn't move from 16 kits the entire time it was open, so I fully understand pulling the kit. I've bought a few other kits and the deskmat and I'm very grateful we had the opportunity to show our interest for the 40s kit even though there wasn't enough to get it over the line.I had been in thoughts which gray set should I buy (Ashes, Apollo or Lunar) but after cancelling Basalt this set is no buy for me.Waiting until the end of the gb to cancel a low selling kit is worse.

Good Morning,
I apologize about the Basalt kit, we tried but there was just no way it was going to hit MOQ by the end of the month. Vendors numbers are not up to date right now, here is the last update I received from them. Thank you for the continued support!

I will be flying to Japan on Tuesday for a vacation with friends, I'll try to update when I can, but expect the updates to be less frequent than they are right now.
Just got an update from some of the vendors! We hit MOQ on Ashes Base and Caldera! We are 6% away from Ghost kit hitting MOQ and 48% away from the Lahar kit hitting MOQ! Thankfully we are just hitting the 2 week mark, should be able to have all kits hit MOQ before the end of the GB! Thank you everyone for joining and I can't wait to see what final numbers!

Does the base kit include a 2U shift key?
Hey, with the increasingly global shutdowns of businesses and deteriorating income sources thanks to Covid 19, what are the chances of this GB getting extended?Probably not
Still enjoying my time here in Japan, staying safe and washing my hands as much as possible!

This is my first participation in keycap GB. Is there a chance in vendors investing into space kit so that it gets made? I really need them spacebars.
Dangit, I was REALLY excited for this set. But Covid happened and money is tight, so...enjoy, everyone!Stay safe, brother! Personal health and wellbeing is infinitely more important than some keycaps.
Here are the numbers as of 3/31 in Texas:

We sold 1,487 kits! Thank you everyone who joined this keyset and to everyone that has promoted and talked about the keyset! I never thought I would make a keyset, let alone have one sell this well! I am very fortunate! I look forward to the progress of this set along with the other keysets that I will be working on!
I def think 40s would've made it but I get it due to the uncertainty going on at the moment and it being re-added at the last minute, hopefully the set could be ran again in the future with the kit included. I'm sure there's enough interest in the set to be ran again especially since I know alot of people were holding off due to Covid and even then the set did extremely well! Cant wait to get my set!There is definitely not enough interest in 40s. That is all known generally, see also other GMK sets with 40s in their package. Sales numbers are usually bad.

Ahh I just missed this. :( Is there any way to get a spot in this GB?
Thanks!
Did you mean to edit post? 😅
Do desk mats normally ship earlier than the set? If so what is expected wait time?

That differs, sometimes a month or 2, but I can't give you a really good indication.
Only if you have ordered it separately btw.
Is there some way to get notified when extras are available? (or is there still a way to join?)Subscribe to mailing lists of vendors mentioned in the OP.
I am really bummed I missed this GB
Update: I am looking into working with Nebulant on the colors so we can get as close of a match as possible to the RAL colors, similar to what was done for GMK Bingsu.
Are there going to be any extras of the basalt kit?

Sorry if this has been clarified already, but is this set using OG icons or centered icons? It’s a little hard to tell in the renders

The Color Samples have been confirmed! The keysets is now in the production queue. The alpha result is on point. The Mod color result is on border where 159, and I believe is within acceptance range, 2.3 DeltaEab. Basically it came down to my call, and I said yes, lets go with the color. I really love the sample colors and think you guys will too!

The set uses Left Centered Icons.

Oh... what was reasoning behind this if you dont mind me asking? I was under the impression that they were OG mods, left centered doesn't look right and seem inconsistent to me TBH

So mods are a bit lighter overall with yellow and oransigh tone (compared to what was planned) from graph. Can you compare samples to 8008 if you have?
Yo Tyson, do you know estimate of shipping date?

I would also like to know =D
That's a disappointment from GMK, actually postponed for half a year when I read this.It was expected even before GB start that Q4 2020 was way too optimistic and it would take a year or so.

I wouldn't say it was way too optimistic, the set ran at the same time as Botanical and now is getting pushed back to Q2 2021 while Botanical is getting ready to ship. Botanical finished color matching in July while Ashes was color matched in August. But at the same time there are sets that ran in Dec that still have yet to ship. I would say that this long of a wait was majorly unexpected. I didn't think GMK would get this backed up. Hopefully they can get the new machines up and running to alleviate these extremely long wait times.I dunno what the "usual" production time for GMK sets is as this was my first GB. However, I remember at the time there were a lot of talks (at various mediums) about GMK production generally being delayed due to variety of reasons (corona, lots GMK of orders, plastic delays from China and whatnot). At the time of ordering, I didn't expect it to get it this year, but its just me, I guess.
I heard rumours it is almost made: is this rumours or true?

Where are these rumors coming from. I'd love it if they were true...
Just recieved an update from ProjectKeyboards discord server.
Tenative ship date from GMK: May 2021
What was the price on this base set NA?
Is there an ETA for the deskmat ?
Why it is MAY? If I am not mistaken gmk modern dolch light and this ran concurently. Can one expect it to be shipped at april?

Awesome! Where was the update? Their updates page still just has updated shipping date from April.
I received my Base Set. Unfortunately, the keys are badly sorted. The 'Z' must come from some other set, I have 2 'J's and 'F's each, one with the index finger identation, one without... Does anyone else have problems? :(
Very new to custom keycaps and group buys; of all the ones I've been looking at lately this is my favorite, these look outstanding. I too will be on the hunt for a set. Just chiming in that this is a really well done set and I hope everyone that pre-ordered enjoys them!
I am very depressed I backed out on this set last minute. Looks amazing. Hope I can pick one up somewhere.
Unfortunately, my 7u spacebar is warped to the point of being unusable on any of my boards.. first time experiencing this with a gmk set. Real bummer.

They are going for ridiculous prices. Would rather wait for R2 :/
There’s a new version that will be running relatively soon (no dates yet), it’s going to be PBT tho.I am very depressed I backed out on this set last minute. Looks amazing. Hope I can pick one up somewhere.
