Anyone else not too fond of the recent tendency to not have any updates in GB threads during GBs? I know number updates don’t really matter as long as everything gets made, but still..I usually wouldn't mind so much, but since this one dropped off the face of the earth for so long before getting to GB, I'm kinda paranoid. Don't get me wrong, I'm beyond thrilled that it finally got this far, but please don't leave us hanging again :confused:
Did we make MOQ? Would appreciate any updates on whether this got made and everything is a go

This was definitely my bad! I've been dealing with a lot of personal / mental issues in the past year, and it all came to a head very recently. I promise I wont be dropping off the face of the earth any time soon again though, as I've made a lot of healthy strides in project management to ensure success from now on. :)

No I was saying lol because supposedly Dale ghosted the community, not too sure how true this is though. Your best bet for any updates on this will probably be from Project Keyboard.

You know that even if he did, the set will still proceed as quickly as it can with the present timelines.
Tyson… focus on your own projects.lol

Would it, are the colors already matched? Wouldn't him ghosting this project delay the color matching process? Or would 159 and you just proceed with the closest match to the RALs? I've never really thought about what would happen if the designer left a project without proper color matching. I guess this has already happened before with GMK Masterpiece too so you guys know what to do. My bad.

Unless you know for certain what you are talking about or where in the colour matching process the set is at you’re out of pocket.
Any updates on this set? :-*
I haven't heard anything about this set since GB. What's all this talk of Dale bailing?
Received an email from Project Keyboard saying that colors have been approved. Would still be cool if the project runner poked his head in. Very excited about this set. Idk how it works without them. I've never had to go through it.

And for the record, you will probably not be able to dispute a transaction from 2021. Not even with talking to managers. I just tried for over an hour. I was insistent they help me deal with it. I spoke with 2 different departments and 2 different managers. This was my Chase credit card.
Well damn. Between Project Keyboard AND mechs&co going dark and screwing me out of 3 GBs, I think I'm tapping out for a while. All I wanted was a red on black goth set. :(
Maybe it's actually time to retire the GB model as we know it.

I'm on the same boat.
GMK Slasher
GMK Terror Below
GMK Tako
GMK Daifuku
GMK Bordeaux
Luckily, Cannonkeys stepped on for Terror Below and it appears Novelkeys will be doing the same for Tako. Dangkeebs is another vendor to keep an eye out. They are starting to show signs of possible exit scamming. They kept delaying Daifuku shipment due to "GMK withholding shipment/shipment confirmation". Now they are saying they didn't get novelties for the set. They also printed shipping labels, I guess to keep people from going through dispute, but those orders have been stuck with Label Created for weeks for some. This is all while all other vendors fulfilled Daifuku months ago.
For Slasher, I think Ashkeebs may step in to help US orders.
**** like this is starting to make me dislike GMK. They are the ones responsible in creating this mess. They could simply have a queue limit that allows for shorter than 1 year fulfillment, but they are greedy and allow sets to be queued for years! They also have the audacity to sell us our sets back at a "discount", which is crazy because Novelkeys and ZFrontier periodically have sales for lower than the price that GMK claims is with zero profits.

Disagree with the statement that's it's all GMKs fault. For instance, Mykeyboard.eu is in some deep **** too but precisely because they ordered too much of extras and are having now some hard times to pay for it (they were too greedy with a short term vision of the market unlike some more wise vendors). Maybe they're next on the list of AWOLs. The GMK model is surely not the best but they actually managed to shorten the waiting line drastically : 18 sets has been delivered in September alone, 3 times more that 2 years ago in one month period.

I agree, it is not GMK's fault for a couple of reasons:
1.- They are a manufacturing company not business advisors.
2.- They have consistently been working to improve their whole operation, shortening delivery times and even putting another premium line out there in conjunction with a beloved designer such as Matt3o.
I used to like to s*t on GMK too, but truth be told, I consider them a solid and respectable cap producer, no questions about it for me.
Over-provisioning has been poison to most vendors, and sadly Mechs & Co. and Project Keyboards overestimated their financial capacity and it blew on their face. If anything I condemn them for not being open about their f*k ups, asking for help reducing their stock and debt, and just plainly being stupid at handling their company. I know hindsight is a b*ch, but they had time, they did not fall from sunset to sunrise.
I only had good things to say about Dangkeebs, I used to be a good customer of them and always liked how they managed their business. That said, I only got on the Astro Neko deskmat GB, and mostly purchased switches from them, so I cross my fingers they are doing fine.

Man, I never saw this thread but saw the reddit post about novelkeys.com taking over the kit but not the mats and wondered if the mats even got made. Does anyone know any more about those? I ordered the melty/wavy one. I'd honestly consider paying for it again if it meant actually getting it. I really liked that design.
