Hello, is there any informations about Novelty legends being double-shot or UV-Printed?
This keyboard set looks amazing!

Just to say I am thoroughly disappointed in the number of people chiming in on the IC to bemoan the inclusion of UK ISO.

Is the render just missing the r4 ISO NUBS key or is it actually missing?

The render was missing it! Sincerest apologies, I just updated the image on the GB posting here and relayed the necessary information to the relative parties. To be clear, this will come at no cost to buyers, and pricing will remain the same :)

Sorry everyone for the confusion!

gmk has gone bat**** insane with the pricing. I love this set and I will still buy it because I want to support it, but it's most likely going to be my last gmk purchase for a long time until they gain their sanity back

Hi everyone! First off, many thanks to all who supported this project during the GB period! I appreciate all of the support and kind words. It's crazy to think that this project first started over a year ago, and I cannot thank you all enough for your encouragement to help get Selene across the finish line.

With all that said, final quantity orders from vendors are still being confirmed. However, with the data collected so far, all kits have hit MOQ!!

Therefore, production has been officially confirmed, with an estimated fulfillment time of Q4 2026.

I will keep you all posted here over the next several months as things develop, but thank you again to everyone who helped make this project come to fruition :D
