Oof, those numbers seem low for a great set. Though not surprising considering the lack of faith in Keyreative due to delayed GBs over the past few years.

I hope vendors are able to buy out MOQ. Alternatively, this would be a good way for Keyreative to gain back some trust by offering it as an in-stock option.

I have heard rumors from Mechanicon in Germany, that the moq will be bought out. I also believe a lot of people just don't want to participate in GBs anymore, in general.

Photograph by M4NU taken at Mechanicon at the Keygem booth. Samples look dope, everyone who was there and saw them was impressed, as war as I have heard.

Unfortunately, I do not know who took this picture. But Astha also looks stunning here.

The set looks really nice but I can agree that not as many people want to participate in GBs now. With the influx of failed vendor extras (especially the ones from MyKeyboard), GBs are pretty hard hit.

On the bright side the hobby seems like it is moving quickly towards instock sets so that is a big positive.

It's not just a rumor anymore.
