Title: [GB] GMK Devoted | Fully Shipping Out
Post by: ItszBrian on Sat, 30 January 2021, 21:01:21
This update has been long overdue, keycaps, keyboards, etc have been shipped out or are shipping out from all vendors since the beginning of November. Lots of delays all around but I'm glad we made it through and thanks again for everyone's support in this project!

This is a fan made project and has been cleared to run from the IP holder.

GMK Samples have arrived and been approved on the first round!

Shout! Let out your Passionate Voice! Louder! And don’t look back! Are you ready to join us in this journey? A journey for ….keycaps. Now...I ask you this question….Are you fully devoted?

This set was inspired by the band, Roselia. Based on the series BanG Dream! A media franchise that has an anime, concerts, music and a mobile rhythm game. Roselia is known for their gothic inspired designs, their colorful characters and their powerful music. The color scheme is based on the logo's gradient and the band's official color. The colors have been matched physically with a RAL book with official merch.

Who is Roselia?

Color Matched

Colors: CR Black, RAL 280 20 30, RAL 300 80 15
The main inspiration came from the logo and these colors are referenced from Bandori Fandom (https://bandori.fandom.com/wiki/Roselia). These colors were used as a starting point and have been color matched with various official merch with our RAL Design book.

We have a handful of samples being sent to us. It's just the waiting game until we can tell you more about them. I can say the colors look really good though!

Just got word a day ago that HEXkeyboards has received their shipment of Ikki68 Auroras including Devoted boards. Expect them to ship in the middle of the month if you have ordered it separate from the keyset. No other vendor has reported their shipment as of this post.

Just wanted to give a quick update about the Ikki68 Aurora X Devoted boards. Mechs and Co (US) has the boards on hand and most of the vendors should have shipped out their boards by now. DeskHero is currently waiting on their shipment.

As for the keycaps, we are still waiting for production to start but our color matching has been confirmed back in June.

DailyClack still has preorders open for the base kit. And yeah, extras will be after everything ships.

I know it's been about a month since I said Mechs and Co has the boards but they have yet to ship out any of them last time I checked. They have a huge backlog of deskmats from other group buys they are shipping out first before they get to the Ikki68s. On the bright side, you will have a printed guide if you ordered from them! All other vendors should've have shipped the boards at this point. If you want extras, they are getting pretty limited outside of the US.

The keycaps have been colormatched months ago at this point, still waiting on GMK to actually start production.

For anyone curious about the deskmats, I still need to approve my next sample (waiting on this third print).

Artisan cables by Suiparacords are slowly but surely being made.

Post by: ItszBrian on Wed, 08 December 2021, 16:44:25
Still waiting on keycaps to be made, cables to be made and waiting on my 3rd sample of the deskmat.

For those waiting on the Ikki68 from Mechs and Co, additional accessories such as plates and pcbs were missing. If you ONLY bought the Ikki68 by itself, your order is NOT affected by this. If you bought the board + accessories, there my be a delay depending on what was in your order.

Statement from Mechs and Co:

Missed an update last month but here's the update:
-GMK missed the estimate to no one's surprise, I currently do not have a new estimate
-Ikki68 Auroras from Mechs & Co have shipped out boards that do no have any extra accessories. Those who have accessories will have to wait until they obtain the extra parts to complete the order
-Cables from Suiparacords are still being assembled
-I still don't have my next round of the deskmat sample and I don't have an ETA on when it'll come

Sorry for the late update but here it is.
The above photos are from mykeyboard.eu and are accurate to our RAL colors.

Keyset should be shipping out from all vendors at this point along with other kits. Despite the delays we made it through! Please check with your nearest vendor for any extras or join our discord server to get notified about them.
