The set is newly manufactured by GMK in Germany with the original Cherry equipment.  GMK is known for using high quality materials to ensure longevity in its products.

This is created with Cherry’s original double-shot molding equipment using the highest quality ABS plastic.

ETA Should be for early Q2 2022 (including multiple sample revisions, it can come earlier but I'd rather be safe).

Renders :

Some renders made by my friend Raz to show the possibilities you have with all kits !  :thumb:

Update : 21/07/2021

Hey guys, deskmats are already there !  :thumb:

As you can see, the results are pretty good. I tried my best to capture them with natural light, very close to the original.

Since I want to be transparent with you, I have to note 2 things for the "No Signal" Deskmat.

1) Due to the color, some micro tiny blackspots can be in the deskmat itself.
It's not noticable especially once it's on your desk. It's unavoidable and not really disturbing but I wanted to point it out.

Other than that, it's close to the original render and the white/greyish tone turned out really good. Depending on your lights it can either be super white or a nice shade of grey !

2) I had to change the font that says "No Signal" due to copyright issues. This change isnt massive and isnt really affecting the design by any means. (I personally prefere this new font)

I hope that it's not a huge deal breaker for you guys.

Thanks again for your support.

Will update you guys on the samples (for the keycap set) as soon as I get them.

- Enjoy.

this set is a great nod to so much heritage, especially the impact of the HHKB moving us towards smaller keebs. you’ve done a great job conveying your inspiration and bringing it into this set. i really hope this is a resounding success!

Really love the colors on this, will look great on my next build (looking at maybe Vulcan x Maja or some other Arisu layout).

GLWGB!

Just bought in for Base + HHKB.

This set definitely has a larger than usual price tag to swallow, so... I hope it turns out beautiful. I have faith in you, EnjoyIn! :)

Edit: Will this meet MOQ?... Numbers don't look so great...

I went in on this one last night and grabbed a couple of sets.

Hopefully this set makes it as it's absolutely gorgeous.

Enjoy already said on Discord that the GB will be extended, and a lot of people seem to be waiting for extras. It's been 2+ weeks since we last got a MOQ update, so hopefully things have ramped up since then...but yeah, hope we get an update soon.

Hello everyone, after a lot of discussions with the proxies we managed to do, what we think was best for the set :

Base kit : 527 kits sold
HHKB Kit : 262 kits sold
Spacebars : 156 kits sold
Numpad : 150 kits sold
Deskmat Japan: 91 sold
Deskmat Signal : 64 sold

All the kits reached MOQ besides the Alpha kit.
The Alpha kit didn't sell well at all and we couldnt realistically save it.

People that bought this kit will be refunded and, if for you that kit was necessary in order to enjoy the set, all the kits will be refunded, just contact your proxie of choice.

That being said I'm sincerly happy that almost every kit managed to do it ! without your support and the proxies that wouldn't be possible  :thumb:

Everything will now be sent to GMK, and I will keep you guys updated as soon as I have something to communicate regarding the set !

Much love, Enjoy

Hey there, sorry for the lack of news.

We had some trouble making the first samples (that should be made """"pretty soon"""") because of the shortage of pantone plastic chips. I managed to find some paper ones (with a nice coating and everything), but the person im talking to says that it dosen't work, while most people in the hobby use them.
Don't ask me why they didn't want, I can't really give you a proper answer.

We finally managed to find out of a random shop for the "plastic chips" needed to color match the set, and it should arrive in around 10 days to GMK.

It took so long because GMK basically didn't want to do any types of effort (at least the person im working/talking with) to even make some approximate samples, or even match them to the paper one that I found, ghosting me and don't replying to my email.

At the end of the day it's all resolved, I'll have the samples in hand, but I can't believe it took this long due to the attitude of someone else while other creators still use pantone paper chips to color match their sets.

Anyways, I just wanted to give some insight on what was happening behind the stage.

I can't wait to share the samples with you guys !  :thumb:

TLDR : Communication with GMK is horrible but everything is resolved, should have the samples pretty fast.

Hi there  :D

(https://i.postimg.cc/GhgggxSS/modern-desko-2.jpg)

Samples finally came in !

I'm very pleased with the results, let me know what you think about them !

Please note that the red-ish/pink shade is very very hard to capture (and Im not really skilled at taking pictures). IRL it looks almost identical to the TGR 910 Render that you can see on the first post.

Take care.

Enjoy.

Update, Sadly GMK Delayed the set.

After talking a lot to them the best they can do is shipping the set in early Q1 2023. Sincerely sorry guys.

I'll keep you updated as soon as I have more information.

Take care,

Enjoy.
