EU pricing needs to be updated on your chart. Base kit is 149 EUR instead of 135, unfortunately. GLWGB!

It was not the point of making Taiga with latin alphas, so please guys stop crying over it :D Consider it as Perestroika but in green if you want and take it as such

Terribly overdue, but EU pricing should've been 149EU instead of 135EU. I apologize if I bamboozled anyone, the euro kinda sucks rn hence the price hike

Correct me if I am wrong but the MOQ changed from 500 to 250, so this looks like I am going to enjoy GMK Taiga in two years (give or take).

The specs say: <<High quality 1.5mm doubleshot ABS plastic + Pad Printing>>.
Does anyone know what the pad printed keys are?
In particular, are the modifiers keys pad printed or doubleshot?

GMK don't double shot windowed keys, so assuming that notation is for those keys.

Any plans to run this with a latin base/kits in future? Based on the IC thread, and how beautiful the colors are, it seems like there would be a lot of interest in such a set.

With the recent drama around M&C, is anyone aware of steps other vendors have taken to ensure this set gets produced? If M&C can still make it work, great, but it would be helpful to know what options are out there

Called MyKeyboard.eu to cancel a preorder of two set (not Taiga). The refund is taking sometimes up to 3 months the guy told me. Reason : insufficient cash flow. Plus tons of discounts here and there plus inpaid groupbuys too. Guess situation sucks for them too. Hope not

Their situation does suck, but they’ve been very open about it for weeks and have been making small improvements. It may take a little while for things to get better overall, but I’m confident they have a path forward.

But M&C? They hid this from everyone until the last possible minute. I’ll be shocked if there aren’t lawsuits brought by Visa et. al. for all the chargebacks they’re surely getting. Based on the number of unpaid-for GBs, M&C probably owe millions.
