is there a 6.25 spacebar in both the base and spacebar kit?

I tried looking around already but is there any estimation of production time/shipping date?

Not sure yet, will ask Christoph. Hate to confirm any dates yet but usually it is around 30 days after confirmation. GMK Blue & Black was really fast for us.
Thanks for the support guys! There has been a mistake that we are changing, 1 keycap, a Shift 1.75U will be added for HHKB support and other keyboards of similar kind.

6.25 space bar only exsits in base kit

The problems ive found so farShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/zrJEFz3.png)
6.25U has to go, our error. It was supposed to actually be the modifier color. 6U is centered, above the 6.25U. Ctlr and Code has to be changed, it has been marked changed in GMK and in the IC, The PgUp and Dw this is accurate, taken from GMK Nautlius.
Why is there an extra 6.25u spacebar and not a centered 6u? why is there three 1u Ctrl on R4 with no 1u code/win in sight? Double up on PgUp on R3. Extra R2 PgDn instead of PgUp.
Why the black insert in the Red Pack, as mentioned on the updates? Would someone mind explaining that?
Edit: Phrasing
If the 11/120 MOQ is updated, consider posting on reddit... due the low price, seems like an odd current count number

Yea it might not be a bad idea. I'd hate to see this not meet MOQ. :(
forgive me for not understanding
what happen if this gb does not reach 120 set?

people will be refunded and the set doesn't get made. It could be revisited in the future.. but most the time the sets just kinda die off.
Honestly i don't think there been any advertising period which is kinda what happened to the other group buy in October. The fact Candy didn't post it anywhere and allowed this thread to flat line I be shocked if it even is at 50 orders total.
First post here; new to this and collecting parts to build a TADA68. What are the odds this reaches MOQ? Looks like there's less than 30 orders right now; I'm guessing there's not usually that much of a late surge for GBs, right?
My backup is DSA Starry Night, the GB for which ends the same day.

No, there isn't a late surge. Unfortunately, I doubt this'll hit MOQ.
Did the GB go through? I just got charged for the set.Not 100% sure, but as you can still preorder the set on their site I guess they either charged you by accident and the GB will be closed and discarded this evening/night, or they didn't hit moq and decided to buy the missing number of kits, maybe to sell them in the store later on. With proper advertising that shouldn't be a problem.

It would be patched and corrected R1 as well.What is there to patch and correct?
Any updates? As mentioned earlier, I was charged for the GB, so I'd like to know if the GB will reopen.
I kinda want to give this one more shot as I really want this keyset.. but there communication has sucked which leaves me a little worried. I wondering if I am the only person feeling that way? Honestly what gives lately seems like the community as a whole is having a lot of MIA runners after they start things.. perhaps that just me.I don't lack confidence in CK (bought plenty from them before) but it is a little worrying that this thread has been forgotten about. I'm still waiting to see the fixes before I join, but it looks like MOQ isn't going to be met anyway now
A update, users will be getting e-mails out now.
NOVELKEYS has agreed to host the set in the U.S. This is probably the last hope.
Updates coming tomorrow, pricing of NovelKeys will be on their website!

This right here is one of several reasons why I was hesitant to join GMK Fishbed. You are always promising updates "tomorrow", "this weekend" etc., but rarely meet the deadlines. In addition there was always some confusion regarding what keys would be included, errors with legends and key sizes etc.
Lastly, a more personal reason: I don't really like the choice of legend color for the mods, they are too dark and beige. I would much prefer something brighter. Most of the dials and labels in the fishbed cockpit is much brighter than the chosen color legend:

I agree with both of you that the commitment to the deadlines that CK set was not great (not just in the GB thread, also in the IC thread). Even if there is no new news, doesn't hurt to drop into the thread and make a short update post.
I think Candy Keys needs to go through some more GBs to get some experience and then they can improve. They did a good job at updating their store pages but no one really checks there since GH is the central hub for everyone.
I am hoping that the relationship with proxies that they have created through this GB can be applied in advance before GBs start in the future, that way there are no barriers to shipping and customs fees (even if this does raise the price on the set for everyone).
Hello all!
We have finished the final update, before releasing it and giving it a green light for NovelKeys to host (and Asian Proxy too most likely) we want to double check here:Show Image(https://imgur.com/6b4aBrH.png)
Can someone confirm on the HHKB layout? Apparently there is a missing 1.5U.
Reason for the delay has been that GMK Olivia has been finished now and we were waiting it off + hard work with the CANDYBAR + other GBs. We have sent a few E-Mails to people who have recommend adjustments.
Main changes above are the Control Keys, and the Code Keys. as suggested.

Since visuals are nice...
Ignore the colors since all are desired for a complete base kit. It doesn't cover 40 since those seem to change a lot.
All these fixes have been posted before :/ Even as far back as the IC I think
At a glance
Change 1.75u Alt to 1.5u Alt Gr
Remove dupliacte R2 PgDn
Remove duplicate R3 PgUp
Add 1.75u R4 Shift
Add R2 PgUp
Add R3 PgDn
Add R4 End
Either remove Ins off the 1u numpad 0 or add the nav sub-legends to the rest of the numpad
Change 2u "Delete" to "Backspace"
Perhaps change 1u and 1.25u Control keys to "Ctrl"
In addition to what xondat mentioned (particularly the 1.75u Shift), there are two Page Up keys.

Move highlighted keys down a row, otherwise you'll confuse :p
Is the FJ in the main cluster scooped?
I'd still question:
- 7u not in base kit
- Enter & Return options for vertical 2u numpad key
Can you get a kit mockup with the white mod legends? Would be easier to compare.
Thanks for the feedback, will move it now.
2. Enter and Return, dont mind me being silly, but if all is Return then we should stick to Return no?

+1. White text would also mesh better with the Red Pack which feels a little disjointed right now.

Mods in white, here it is!
What we think?
EDIT - God that was awful PNG compression.
New image below:Show Image(https://imgur.com/dJOTtSO.png)
idk, white makes the mods high contrast whereas the alphas don't have that much contrast
Should we create a poll and inform people who have joined about the white legends?

Candy this is just my 2 cents.. I think you should refund the people who joined go back to the drawling board. Work out the entire design set it in stone. Find proxy's then go from there. Though honestly you need to give more solid updates and not forget about Geekhack and Reddit.
I think at this point no one is really going to buy in cause things keep changing. The sets been on the table since September. I know cause I wanted it for my KBD75 which I ended up going with Miami nights on. I still do want to see this come to pass just it needs a LOT of work and a lot more advertising.

Our thoughts as well, since it is not really moving anywhere besides the Proxy aspect, we will take it from 0 ground up and try again.

Especially advertising.
Posting on instagram when the main communities are reddit and GH is not really productive for a GB.
And yeah, posting once on reddit is not enough. Also more hype needed to make it successful.

So if this kit is moving back into the IC forum. Why are you still taking orders on your site?Should we create a poll and inform people who have joined about the white legends?

Thanks for the feedback! Fully 100% agreed, GBs now look much different! A new newsletter system is already working for GMK Olivia.
We just sent out e-mails, refunds will be processed soon and this will be moved back into the IC forum when we are ready! Currently, there are too many sets running at once, it is only a deathmatch of the ones who will make it or not.
