was interested in this till noticed the US portion was being ran thought Kono, all I can say is goodluck. After what happened with Kira 96 you will most likely need it.

What happened with Kira?
I am in for a few Kono GBs and have not had an issue. Main issue for me was the additional sales tax, but that's just something we cannot escape.

So there was a lot on Reddit about it. Basically it comes down like this.
They missed the shipping deadlines several times, misleading people. Once it did ship people who backed the kick starter were not given priority. Instead they seem to ship to just who ever. There were people posting board's on reddit who ordered months and months after the Kickstarter to fund the project had happened. There was one person that ordered in Oct. and had gotten there board before people that ordered almost a year before. There was also least one person who admitted having ordered the board 2 weeks prior and getting it.
QC on the board was horrible. The majority of boards I have seen have the H and J key's misaligned. The reason is there a screw between them thats raised enough that it causes the switches to pivot at a slight angle. IC solution to this is to file the screw flat. They won't do this for you under warranty. There also issues with the way the PCB was designed. They seem to have a issue with interference from other devices. People have reported the board blinking and what not when using radios and I would assume cell phones. Inputs answer to that is to take it apart and install a ferrite choker. That doesn't even include the firmware that seems to be buggy.
Keep in mind all those issues happened with a board that was delayed by 6-7 months. There was also the fact the original controller they planned to use had to be switched at the last moment during production.
There were other issues but there minor compared to those.

I feel you man. I am located in Asia and the proxy zFrontier is not any better. All these months of delays from previous group buys (i haven't received my Kira80 and GMK Phantom yet!) is making me hesitant on getting on new ones.
I've bought the Whitefox from Kono when it was already in-stock but have never experienced a group buy with them. I thought of getting from Kono until you gave me your reviews.
Anyone has had any experience with the Oceania proxy - Dailyclack? Care to comment?
Could you provide me (us) with some numbers? How close are we to moq/price drops? :)
Any news of the progress on this set? Will it also happen if MOQ is not met or will it be canceled?
Any update on whether GMK Lime will be made or not?This ^ although given the radio silence and recent flood of GMK sets I am preparing for a no...
Does the alpha color code match any other set? I was thinking about buying the space bar kit if it matched/was really close to any other sets.

It will be custom matched to the SP SA version of the set

Update 05/06/2019:
Thank you all who has joined the GB. Sorry for the lack of update, I was in China for work during the whole month of April and I'm pretty caught up by work lately, wanted to do the update after invoicing.
And here you go, invoices are sent by GMK and most of the vendors has paid. The GB wasn't doing very well but we managed to get help from vendors including Novelkeys to get to the MOQ.
This means there will be extras available when the sets are shipped.
The current status: production slot secured, I'll update the final estimated ship date once I get this from GMK.
Regarding production, please see below the approved GMK official renders.
Some of the SA Lime keys are sent to GMK for color matching, I'll update picture of samples once they arrive.
Cheers.
