Interest Checks / [IC] GMK CYL Deathly Queen - Taking over from Tyson
« Last post by Zetina on Fri, 06 November 2026, 06:56:47 »



Hi Geekhack! As some of you may know, Deathly Queen is a GMK set designed by Tyson & inspired by a very popular anime series, through the years this set has seen many changes and lots of support but in the end due to multiple circumstances it never got to the GB stage.

A couple of months ago, I spoke to Tyson about the future of the set. Although he ultimately wasn't able to run it due to personal circumstances, with his permission, I ended up taking over the project to, after all this years, finally see it run. Although the set has some updates and some changes (main ones being the addition of 2 novelty keys and some changes in the kitting), it's still the same set a lot of us we're looking forward to owning during the pandemic.

(and also what better time to run a jojo's set than during the emission of IMO the best part).

This is so great - I've wanted to see more of this for years. I think any kind of editing software we can get sets like this for is great. Killer design as usual Biip!

Thanks a bunch!

Latest Hyper7 update (12/10/2026):
Quote
<@&796369655282532373> - Mini update

Hello all! Just thought I would give a small update to the current progress and situation.

Firstly, to the people who have said they are OK with the hole issue and ordered a kit, yours are shipping out slow and steady. We aim to have all those orders completed by the end of October. If you filled out the form and said you were OK with the hole issue, and you ordered a kit, please keep an eye on your emails (including your junk/spam folder) over the next few weeks. We're emailing everyone before shipping to double check details and won't ship it until we receive your confirmation.

Secondly, for those who chose to wait, the factory have confirmed they have reworked all the bases and re-drilled the holes. We're just waiting for them to take a look at the top pieces with QC issues that we returned to them. Once that is resolved, they'll be shipped back to us.

Overall our goal is to have all of the Hyper7 kits shipped out before the end of the year. Once the kits are out the way, the big push to get the pre-assembled orders completed begins.

We'll have a better idea of the timeline for Wave 2 shipping near December. If things go well, we can start Wave 2 kit orders alongside Wave 1 pre-assembly.

As always much love for your support and patience!

Any planned deskmat? One with the siloutte of Excalibur and Avalon could be cool (flat blue with black / goldish shapes or inverted  so its black with blue shapes). Otherwise, I hope this actually gets made!

I was wondering the same thing after seeing no updates since April. Small vendors do go quiet between group buys, so silence on its own is not proof they have closed, but it is worrying when there is no word at all on an open group buy. Have you tried emailing them directly or checking their socials for any recent replies? If anyone here has had a recent order fulfilled, that would be useful to know.

Off Topic / RGB 1,1,1
« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 05 November 2026, 23:03:37 »
It's a very misunderstood rgb value.

We have rgb 0, which is almost completely black on something like Oled.

But not always.

RGB 1 is very very dark,  somewhere between 0.001 nit and 0.01 nit.

Effectively, because of the forward voltage of a pixel, these values are not achievable @ single pixel levels.

If you even wanted a "whole patch" of 0.00x,  you need dithering.  Dithering lights up a whole patch of pixels surrounding the target that you actually want alight.

This is even harder when the panel gets bigger, because you have not only longer electrical connections, you have way more variability in the deposition when the panel is made.

RGB 111 is mythical, because it is in between RGB 000 and RGB 222.

You often have to Crush 111, because without doing that, you can not produce consistently a dithered value < 0.1nits.

That is to say, don't be afraid of crushing 111.   It's fine, you'll never see it,  but everything between 222 and 555 could look much better.

This is especially true on these new oled laptops, which have very poor near black performance.   These laptop panels basically look like they have IPS glow on content that use softblack, think dreamy noir scenes, which are quite common.


Point is,  Oled on Laptops is alot of hype, it's better than IPS, absolutely,  but it's not at the Lvl of TVs with much better near black handling.

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] SA Paperwork - 40% Monokit
« Last post by MikeTheTiger on Thu, 05 November 2026, 20:59:41 »
I just wanted to provide an update on pricing. We will tentatively start the group buy next weekend. I will have more details about the timelines and whatnot for everything soon. Kit pricing is below. Keep in mind, we are having 34 new legend plates created for this run and also that SA profile is a bit more expensive than the other SP profiles. The Trashcons created during this group buy will be available for 40% community use.

•    Monokit: $169.420 (75 MoQ)
•    Accent Kit: $25 (25 MoQ)
•    QAZ Extended Kit $30 (25 MoQ)

Also, we added the rest of the numbers in the numrow.

YO!  Holy crap this is amazing , I would buy 1 myself if you wanna produce this , the hedgehog left handed controller lost its way and became a right handed mouse, and with the new pos tartarus v2 or whatever they are calling it, not having a space bar button, I am out of options. Synapse 2 must go!
