This looks fantastic. Count me in for a dark set.

Hi. Can you share some details of the Rama keycaps? What material are they made of? I’m particularly intrigued by the darker Rama keycap. What is the base colour? Is it the same dark purple? For the gem, what is the colour of the infill? Is it glow in the dark? Thanks!
Wow, I am disappointed by the kit prices, especially the base kits. This GB was a guaranteed purchase for me, but with these prices, I am wavering a bit. I don't think I've seen base kits this high before in GB prices. With how popular purple is in this community, I think this set could sell very well, and the prices could be lowered because of it. I hope it's not too late to make adjustments.
Just an update, I've discussed with vendors and already tried my best to lower the price for the base kit.
New price for dark base kit will be 144.99.
Thank you! Know you’re not the one setting MOQs on your own and appreciate the effort to get 2 base kits run and get changes on short notice.
I figure Kono will sell them but they just don’t have em up yet. I emailed, we’ll see if it’s not straightened out by the end of tomorrow
Might have missed this on the kono site. Is kono going to be selling the Ramas?
Any chance of an ETA for the GB? At +7 UTC I may need to set an alarm to wake up and place an order! ;D

It's up on all vendor's site now, you can get it anytime before 13th Dec.
Hey there, quick q:
Will the infill of the Artisan with the Amethyst be shine-through? So one could use it with a backlit keyboard.
Apologies in advance if this is poor GB post etiquette. I'm still fairly new to Geekhack.China being China, it happens as often as you'd imagine. And it's not very flattering.
A couple of weeks ago I saw a post in an FB group I belong to advertising what the OP admittedly described as an inferior quality PBT keycap set that was a copy of Amethyst.Show Image(http://downloads.58bits.com/fb-pbt-amethyst-reduced.png)
Several 75% layout keys are missing from the set. The original post now shows the FB message - 'This content isn't available right now'.
I suppose this is a case of 'Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'.
Curious to know if this sort of thing happens often?
Looking forward to a successful GB for 'the real' Amethyst.
What will happen for those who purchased the Extension kit if it does not meet MOQ? Are they refunded that portion of their purchase?Yes, if kit doesn't make it, all participants will be refunded.
Any chance the vendors will buy out enough Extension kits to hit MOQ?If it stayed about as low as of last update, then I personally doubt it. This kind of kit is not too popular, not a lot of profits can be made.
I realize that this is way too late, but I bought this without looking closely. Is there any chance to include a R4 "\ |" button?No. Once group buy reaches... group buy stage its final and no changes will be made.

Finally the GB has ended. Once again, thank you so much for the support from the community, the final numbers really surprised me ;) ! Will continue to post the update here.Is there any updates?
Is there any updates?As per Kono (https://kono.store/pages/weekly-update): "Order was placed, estimated production from GMK is 36 weeks, putting production completion approximately in September 2021."
Any news? An email reply I received from IlumKB suggested there may be a delay?
I have May penciled in based on the current production rate and queue.
what omnitype does which is great is gives the estimate and the date the estimate was given. If you're looking at a 4 month old estimate that seems optimistic...it probably is. If you look at GMK Boho on Kono's page, you'll see that a set that ran 6 months later is estimated to ship a month or two after Amethyst-thats obviously nonsense, but to the new groupbuyer might seem believable.Sadly, Kono doesn't really care:(
GMK is currently quite behind their production estimates. Each project will likely ship at least a month apart.
Any update on progress/ETA?No new updates as of now. I'd say it would be great if we get it during Q3 2022. There are still a lot of sets before it.
Thinking about joining pre-order on KONO store, beautiful set :thumb:

Has delivery started for GMK Amethyst ?
I am still waiting for the delivery from MyKeyboard while people have received it 6 months ago >:DThis gb was delivered ages ago. Are you in the UK by chance?
I know they do not update their clients on deliveries even though it is their job and asked multiple times to get updates.
Am I the only one like this? Anybody has experience with MyKeyboard not delivering keycaps?

No, I'm French and I don't know what to do. I sent e-mails to support multiple times and I never get satisfying answers.
I still have 3 sets that should come from them and still waiting for answers from the support. This is not cool at all.

Hi Cam,
Not super active on Geekhack anymore but did you get this sorted?
If not slide into my dm's on Discord and I'll help you get your caps. I'm not personally working at the office in Belgium but can ask my colleagues to look into your order. You should indeed have them for a while by now :)
Hey,
I got one answer without much details as usual.
I have been told I should follow some calendar they provide somewhere… never found it though and I never got a link either.
It seems my keycaps are waiting in their warehouse for the redline keycaps to arrive. Only then I will get my keycaps.
Overall, I’m pretty disappointed how it went. Communication is simply terrible, I had sent roughly 4 to 5 e-mails over the past 2 years to end up waiting more and more. I know… covid… but still not great experience!
