What's the use case of the extra Tab in the Latin Alphas? Without punctuation and numbers, you can't fill another board with the leftover mods from the Base kit...unless it's maybe a 40%, yet there is no 40s support in any of the other kits...

Excellent GB page.  Thank you for the colour balance image in the various lighting, that gets my vote alone.  The kits are close to perfect and again thank you for the UK ISO in the base.  I will be ordering all kits to fully support you.

Please elaborate. From my experience, working with these vendors was nothing but a pleasure and a positive experience.

Had issues with zf before, but their customer service have greatly improved.

Zion is not great for shipping for SEA; it costs 15 USD to ship from Philippines to SG, and zfrontier costs just $17 USD with much better options of express shipping above USD$100.
Having Zion as a SEA vendor is a joke.

Sorry, should not have lumped the rest together as I do not have experience with the rest; but perhaps should ask around the regions that they are vendoring for to see if their reputation thus far is true.

p.s. forgot that I had shipments from deskhero too; they’re great, so fuss free that i forgot I bought stuff from them before.

Seriously though, it reads as if you have issues with the choice of SEA vendor, have had positive issues with Canada and zF - and no dealings with the rest of them? Strange comment.

Did alternate alphas kit change recently? I don't recall it being dark green, rather the same color as base but without those runes. You can see it even on the third render from the top.

Provide evidence was making such a pan-pejorative comment. Having worked through many of these vendors, they are very great people and businesses.

The subs and novelties will be UV printed. I think it was covered in the IC thread, but since it was edited to direct to this GB thread, I do not have a comment to point to as confirmation.

You are correct, novelties will be double shot + UV printed to achive that kind of design. Added that information to GB page to avoid future confusion.

ZionStudios should have Keyrelic artisans and THOK available now.

I think it will look better with alt alphas overall but you can rock it with basekit alone, it's just gonna be a lot of different shades of green on your board ;)

It's there to allow people to fill 2 boards with base + alphas and have 2 different colorways.

Yes, we debated about adding that key to the Norde but it happened to be a very expensive extra key so we didn't add it.

Alright, thanks! Just figured it would make sense to have that in the base kit, but there's always the mod colored novelty ISO Enter if someone wants to go without accents.

I'm late to the party! Just saw this set on Deskhero and I'm probably going to pick it up with dark alphas! I like a mono color and clean legends!
One thing I noticed, and its probably addressed in the IC, the numpad is missing some love! With the dark alphas alt kit, a numpad would stand out pretty hard with the light alphas. I guess that only an issue with Full size or 1800 or if you want to match your numpad to your keyboard.

Yeah, sadly nothing I can do about it anymore. Supporting numpad in alphas would make it much more expensive and it's not the most popular size throughout the community. Maybe next time I can offer dark numpad aswell.

Why the color of alphas kits is different from the color of alphabets on the base kit?
I am asking because I want to combine alphas kits and novelties kit together, just like the render image.

It's there to allow people to fill 2 boards with base + alphas and have 2 different colorways.

Thanks, I pre-ordered it.

This set is so freakin dank but at this point I'm waiting on so many cap sets I think it's best for all of us if i sit this one out.  I've passed on a couple GMK sets I wanted recently because the waits and delays are getting so bad.  I think I'm waiting on 12 different sets now...  not all GMK, but all of them are promising delays delays delays.  I like to think I'm doing my part in bringing the queue time down and increasing the hipster factor for the rest of you who are buying in.

Maybe when queue times are back to a reasonable <12 months I'll start buying GMK again.  Also worth noting that I just bought a Domikey Cherry set which was in-stock and really exceeded my expectations... GMK gonna have some competition on their hands there.

Just wanted to get that out there.

I‘ve ordered the Novelty‘s just for the heck of it because i missed them back in the days when i preordered the base kit.
At Candykeys the were set as „in stock“ so obviously not a preorder again. Curious when they arrive tbh…

I'm wondering. Novelties are not "in Stock" any more at Candykeys but my order is "processing". Let's see what will arrive here and when. If it is a return of round 1 or so i hope it is at least color matching to my preorders.

EDIT: I just realized that there was no R1 of this set if i'm correct. So now i'm really interested what i bought at Candykeys  :D

I can only tell you what i bought and what Candykeys has on my Order which is getting "processed" and not "manufactured" like the base kit i ordered last year. So i think this order will get canceled tomorrow anyways. But hopefully i can order this when it is produced and in stock for real.
But for now, here are some screenshots, yeah it proves nothing but it is what i see at the moment:

This probably isn't gonna be in your hands this year. There's sets that ran in Q1 2021 that haven't shipped yet. I mean, maybe Q4? When sets that ran Q3 2021 finish shipping, you can start to think this might be a month or two out.
Title: Re: [GB] GMK Terror Below | Final numbers
Post by: YoungManKim on Mon, 08 May 2023, 15:31:01
Just to put numbers to this:
- There is one remaining GMK set from Q1 2021 that has yet to ship (Tuzi)
- 37/40 sets from Q2 2021 have shipped
- 21/34 sets from Q3 2021 have shipped
- This makes 17 sets that need to be completed before Q4 sets are theoretically started (realistically, some Q4 sets will be completed before then)

With GMK fulfilling ~10 sets a month I would be cautiously optimistic that fulfillment for this set happens this year.

I was just looking at GMK's shipping progress yesterday.  I can't say I've captured all the GBs or that it's 100% accurate, but this graph is for anyone who would like to visualize GMK's shipping progress.  It's very close to what YoungManKim just said, and also shows months from GB end to shipping for those GBs that have shipped.

Title: Re: [GB] GMK Terror Below | Final numbers
Post by: dvorcol on Tue, 09 May 2023, 12:50:14
Does the red "in-process" GBs mean that's the number of new GB's that were ran and submitted to GMK?

A red "in-progress" point is just the number of GBs with end dates in that quarter.  No consideration for GB status beyond that - orders placed with GMK? progress of color matching? etc.

FWIW, the graph starts on 1/2/2019 and a quarter is 365.25/4 days so the X-axis legends always say the correct month.

It's hard to define exact GB shipping dates.  They are always logged as the 15th of a month, but often not all vendors ship in the same month.  I go by people receiving orders and posting in Geekhack GB threads, vendors informing in Discord servers, vendors announcing in-stock extras for sale (not when taking pre-orders for extras), etc.  Not all vendors receive sets from GMK at the same time or ship in the same month.  And of course it's likely some GBs have shipped and I don't know about it.

I'm also likely missing some GBs entirely.

Not to sew panic, but have you been in contact with M&C to confirm that they have paid for deskpads and have the funds to ship out orders?  Are secondary methods of fulfillment being considered?  They are full-on ghosting people involved in a couple of keyboard GBs the mods of the various MK socials posted a lengthy blog yesterday about the future of M&C as the company has not stated anything publicly since they locked down their Discord at the beginning of the month.

Again, not trying to be chicken little, but I believe that people's concerns about fulfillment are real and justified.

Any news on the deskmats?

M&C said in their post that deskmats will be produced in 6 to 8 weeks.

With the sh*t storm that has happened with Mechs & Co, do you know if they did place their order with GMK and are actually shipping product?

AFAIK They are shipping out stuff like GMK Earth Tones, last time I talked to them I had every vendor fill in their billing information to be invoiced for deskpads separately. If anything changes I will update you guys here.

When is the last time you talked?
For me, M&C has not replied for around a month.. This was after dipping out of a live GB :)
So, I would be really careful to deal with them.

We are still waiting for deskpads. Some vendors got their sets already.

Do you know if orders without deskpads will go ahead and ship out or is that choice up to each individual vendor?

I mean, that would make sense for them to do that.

Just coming on this now. Sad there isn't a 2u shift, or an obscure/40s kit.
Maybe in R2?  ;D

Looks like the final nail in the coffin for M&C customers. I was patient but finally initiated a chargeback on my Terror Below preorder and am reporting fraud to the FTC. Good luck everyone, really unfortunate situation.

To the designers, you've created an absolutely badass set and I hope this experience doesn't impact your future works too much.

Hi

I already posted on my discord yesterday so I thought it would be a good thing to update those who aren't there. Please read the Reddit posts and act accordingly, I can no longer stand by what Mike from M&C told me because I don't know what is really happening inside M&C. I'm actively working on a possible solution like fulfillment through another vendor, etc. It's very possible that I will be able to get on a call with GMK and talk about our options. I'll let you guys know if anything changes.

I was very excited to see all my projects being fulfilled this year and then this happened...  I'm truly sorry to everyone involved in this.

Is there other options?  I thought M&C received the shipment already?  Going to be hard to get GMK to print even more without pay, or another vendor to give up their paid for kits to back fill the M&C orders.  It would have been easy to control if GMK hadn't have already shipped off the kits to M&C, but correct me if I am wrong.

Jesus so what now, just chargeback? At this point I’m willing to a pay a third party to just seize our orders from their warehouse.

Earlier this week I was able to call my credit card's customer service center and charge back the money I paid for this groupbuy. I didn't come to that decision easily, but if you've placed your order with Mechs & Co, I would recommend you try a charge back as well.

I was waiting to see if Mechs & Co would ship these out like they had told Afresh, but then I heard that MilkyWay Fuyu couldn't be delivered to the Mechs & Co warehouse because no one was on site to receive it. That news coupled with the lack of communication that Mechs & Co promised in their response on July 1st made it seem to me like they are trying to ghost the community, so attempting a charge back seemed like the safe thing to do.

That sucks guys, I'm sorry. I'd probably would of been in the same boat if I did not already have nautilus nightmares when this Gb launched.
