Is anyone else having trouble with novelkeys not allowing the deskmat and the caps to be purchased together? Is this by design?

Yes, unfortunately. You need to pay shipping twice since they ship at different times.

It is confusing, yeah. It seems terribly inefficient. Every GB I've been in before this has just delayed shipping the deskmat to go with your cap order.

Ahh, I thought u were confused with my explanation haha. Yea, it kinda sucks but I guess NK just ships separately, Hammerhead was same way. I’m assuming it’s just easier for them logistically to send them out when ready.

xine007 · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 03 August 2020, 01:05:28 »

Heads up, I think the images for the RAMA waves and bento kanji might be mixed up on the NK site when you select them from the drop down menu.

solomonshv · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 03 August 2020, 01:13:58 »

on NK, the rama waves and kanji novelties are messed up. the drop down menu selection does not match the picture. selecting kanji rama shows waves pictures, and vise versa. maythrow off new-ish people who don't know what "kanji" is

harrislp · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 03 August 2020, 01:52:57 »

Have been looking forward to the second round of this coming out, not sure if I will cop the blue alphas yet but I will almost certainly be in for the standard set and the salmon novelties as they really make the set in my opinion. Good luck with the group buy, I'm sure it will be a smashing success.

Don't ask me, I initially drew those for GMK Bushidō 🤷‍♂️

OK lol
+=,}], and |\ katakana are mixed around. Mecha's is just the hiragana changed to katakana.
Either way I'm getting the hiragana base.

When will Candkeys have the groupbuy up? They don't have it listed.

mgsickler · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 03 August 2020, 15:13:58 »

Traditional base kit is doing really great! We are over 250 just at NovelKeys. Thanks for joining early on this one!

biip · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 04 August 2020, 03:00:29 »

Definitely a solid start:

Kit	Ideal MOQ	Quantity sold
Traditional base kit	500	504
Revival base kit	500	70
Latin kit	100	39
Salmon kit	250	362
Seafood kit	250	122
Sakana kit	100	36
Chopsticks kit	250	151

Some proxies numbers are missing.
Current numbers aren't including extras.

Thanks to everyone!

Salmon already nearly at MOQ (probably over by the time I post this) - a really excellent start indeed!

With the amount of orders that would have to be held back we would run out of room very quickly. Mix that with the delays from GMK, and it becomes a very big logistical nightmare.

Whoop whoop, just found out that I’ve got a bit more money this month unexpectedly, so I can go all in!

I was just going to get Base + Salmon, but I’m now going to go for Base + Salmon + Seafood + Chopsticks + Deskmat +

I’m on the fence about the Latin kit and the Sakana kit to be able to fill two boards out and because I’ve been thinking about a 40% at some point - only keys you’re really missing if you don’t buy Sakana and have Salmon/Seafood (and don’t mind using novelties in place of text mods) are the R3 enter keys, so I’m a bit torn. We’ll see.

Kinda surprised about the Revival kit on day one. Guess the Traditional really made a big mark on the first go-around.

Yea revival numbers are surprising to me also. If for some reason it doesnt reach MOQ would I be able to switch it to traditional still
