am i trippin or is that accent spacebar in the base as well? i'm confused

You are correct, OP might have meant to update the renders to reflect the normal spacebars as alpha colored, right now they are accent white, which are also in the spacebar kit. I hope this gets changed, once it's adjusted I'll make sure to hop on this GB!

I see no GMK Mercury on proto[Typist] either - only on kbdfans. What happened there?

And it’s more expensive than originally stated. Considered together, there are a few too many things that seem a bit weird.

What's going on with this set? Why is there no communication from your side? Pretty weird, dude

According to the Mechs & Co. discord, the set was postponed until late Feb. For some reason KBDFans went live anyways which seems to be causing all the confusion. All the other vendors should have the set then for sale.

The Discord is quiet now too. From what I've read it seems that KBD will be first to go live and regional vendors will follow. Shipping timelines is expected to be the same between KBDfans and other vendors. Not sure how/why this GB is being handled this way. Kind of disappointing since it's a great set that deserves more hype imo

Am I the only person that does not see a 1.75 shift key needed for a lot of board setups?

Do u have a link to the discord server?

If the picture is to scale I think it’s a typo. It should read 1.75u instead of 2u shift in the row above the 7u spacebar.

Seeing how the OP has basically disappeared when their GB has started on certain sites but not all of them I'm probably going to pass on this set. I understand people can get busy, but like at least let the potential buyers know if life is getting busy for you, especially if you expect us to buy something from you.

Yes, sorry for the miscommunication on my end, things did get busy, especially during the holidays, and when the group buy went live on KBDFans, however thank you for the support, and patience. I was trying to get all of the vendors in communications on the 21st of December however, I believe KBDFans wasn't able to join, and due to time differences I believe that they started the GB whilst still beliving the date to be the same.

All information is up to date, and will be posting a GB thread soon. Again thank you all for the support and patience with this!

this silently went live? with a mislabeled key in the NorDe kit no less (the usual [; :])
I hope this is some mistake.

This is, it was the uv, in the render so I will update as soon as I get the chance.

Are the spacebars in the base kit correct? Or are they supposed to be alpha colored?

Yea, he just started the groupbuy and mention they were wrong and that he will fix them later. I'm like very skeptical about the communication and the handling of this, I was actually really interested in this set, but kind of put off by all this.

They are fixed in the GB post he made I think. Accent colored (white) Edit: And in the IC as well

I'm assuming that the second numpad barred 5 is a mistake and one is supposed to be plain. Hopefully this gets corrected for the live GB :|

It should be fixed now, thanks for spotting that out, it will be correct key in the kit upon receiving it.

I wish the white arrows and red esc and enter were in the base kit or an accent kit. I don't need or want the space bars or novelties, but would be forced to pay a really high price for just these few accent keys. I will probably have to pass on the whole thing because of that. Many people in the thread asked for the red esc and enter to be added to the base, so not sure why they were added to novelties in the end.

100%. Also why no red ISO enter in NorDe kit?

Hello

one question about the R2 Conical Flask keycap (novelties),is a place for it in "standar(60,65,tkl,full)" keyboards or is just for the "ortho" and some exotic designs?
