My home away from home, this keyset is inspired by Lake Tahoe, California.
I started working on this project in early May when I went up to Tahoe.
Everything from the air, to the sound of the birds, and the colors of the forest allow me to breathe and unwind. This keyset is designed to convey those feelings.
The name of the set, Ursa, comes from the black bears who make the forests their home in the summer.
I wanted to keep this set relatively low cost. As such, it uses two stock GMK colors and one RAL color for accurate color matching.

Yes, it shows, I've learned a lot from his posts and articles! Proper ISO capability should not be a mystery, but too many designers have a false idea of baseline support - on the other hand, Ursa is, well, pure bliss :thumb:

I am surprised that the MOQ are not met yet. This is one of the best colour combos this year?
That's a strong start to the GB. :thumb:
Thank you for the support everyone!
I'd also like to show off this stunning render of Paddington on the beautiful J-02.

Been watching this set for a while! I will definitely be joining soon. I need the 40s kit and if the 40s set doesn’t hit MOQ will the whole order be refunded or just the price for the 40 kit. Sadly I don’t need the set unless I can get the 40 set as well.
It's likely 40s will not hit MOQ, historically they never do. However, hopefully the vendors will decide to buy out 40s so that you'll be able to get your kit!

However, due to missing NorDe kit i'm not going to be using anything from this set except for the green Esc, Enter and 6.25 space bar so just shoot me a PM if you're interested in the set excluding just those 3 mentioned keys. I'd be willing to let it go for half price.
Or even better, if somebody is going to join this set but would be willing to part ways with those 3 keys mentioned above i'll give $50+ for them. Again just shoot me a PM if so.

What do you think chances are that this set gets bought out based on the way current orders have been looking? Mainly wondering about other kits since it looks like the base will probably hit MOQ.

Ideally 100%. It would be a shame if one of the kits were to not make it.

That's what I'm hoping for. I got 1 of every kit when this opened cuz I liked the theme and its colorways. And I really like what you did with the ISO kit. I feel like giving it something exclusive and visually appealing got people who mainly use ASNI to consider making an ISO build, myself included.

I'm tempted to pick up a second set of ursa base to help reach MOQ...
Post by: NathanAlphaMan on Tue, 31 December 2019, 00:20:17
hope you are advertising on mechmarket periodically, shocked the numbers are so low. Just grabbed a kit, good luck
Yeah, I've been trying to push this set as much as I can across Reddit and the like. I had some posts up on r/mm and r/mk just this past weekend and will probably push again later this week. Hopefully, numbers will start climbing more steadily into the new year.

We've pulled together resources and all kits will be made!
Thanks to everyone for supporting the GB. If you ever wanted to buy 40s or ISO, now is the time!

613 base with extras. 125 Iso kits. This is...7x? the rate of iso kits to base kits vs Olivia, 5-6x vs nautilus nightmares. I think you found the formula for getting that kit to MOQ-put an exclusive novelty in there.

I'm back from my travels and I come bearing good news!
First, color samples are in and they are approved for production.
Secondly, I'm in the process of getting the final payment ready for the donation, expect more news on that soon
Finally, the Object.Garage raffle is open for the next 18 hours!

So glad this is getting made and thank you for the ISO enter novelty, always good to see some ISO specific love!!!

Not that I'm aware of at the moment, I think we are looking at late June/ early July based on other GMK delays I'm seeing

I mention this not to be a total downer, but I'm probably not the only one who's going to be moving some time this year, and even though I had everything within 6.5 months of the move shipped to my Dad's place, it may not going enough for Cafe, Coral, Bingsu and others from November.

I worry it's gonna be a lot longer than July. Wind the clock back to October, you've got Camping and Dracula at 4500 base kits between the two of them. Camping hasn't been made, and is projected to ship to vendors in May, to customers in May or June. Dracula hasn't been color matched yet. GMK Crimson Cadet which closed mid october hasn't been color matched yet. Unless you're jumping one or both of Dracula and Olivia++ (a memeworthy over 9000! base kits between them) I worry Q4 is more likely. Current sets (Nautilus R2)are being projected as a 8-10 month lead time.

Ursa has completed the color-matching phase, and as of mid-March we had a 23 week lead time. So I guess that puts us into August?

Small update guys. GMK have advised this will be ready to ship to us next month - I am assuming earlier rather than late July.
Sounds good :thumb:

So if you get it late July, that puts it in buyers' hands early-to-mid-August?

Any idea how the Kono Store shipment is going?
The set left GMK in early September and KONO told me ocean transit was expected to take 4-6 weeks. Unfortunately, that's all the updates I really have on the matter

Any update on this, seems to be taking a very long time?
Kono recently told me they expect to start fulfilling mid to late November.

Anyone know if Kono will offer extras or they just sell through their pre-order?
There will be a small number of extras once the set arrives

I have to yet again voice my total hatred of the awful GMK 'paper mache' packaging which now seems to come as standard, ready to ruin every keycap stored within it. It is just horrible and I hope they listen to their customers and change it soon.
Here are a few images, sorry about the quality, I no longer have a good camera, just a phone.

is signing up for the waitlist through the vendor the best way to ensure that one would be updated for possible extras? I'd love to get a set of these if I can
indeed - by signing up for waitlists and/or vendor newsletters you would get a notification when extras are dropping
