driftingbunnies · « **on:** Tue, 01 September 2020, 22:43:40 »

Hello everyone! The time has finally come! After a slow start, GMK Sloth will finally be running this month! It's been amazing to see the support everyone has shown me. I'd like to thank everyone who has been waiting, I know it's been slow going at times but with all the ICs and GBs, it is what it is. If you're considering, please buy as early as possible! I'll try to update with any info on artisan raffles and sales numbers as soon as I get them.

Base - 250
Spacebars - 100
40s - 100
Novelties - 150

Estimated Shipping:
Q3 2021

Lazy AF
The "Lazy AF" kit is for those who have a common 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, and 1800 layout. It also includes the F13 key for those who need it.

Baby Sloth
The "Baby Sloth" kit (40s) is for those who like smaller or more niche layouts.

Branches
The "Branches" kit includes 6u spacebars and accent spacebars.

Slovelties
I think this one is self explanatory.

Please note, the novelties have changed. Please check the later posts to see them. We were told the original ones could not be made today (July 5th, 2021) so we had to made quick changes to match the updated guidance on novelties provided by GMK.

I'd like to apologize for those who were looking to grab a 40s kit but were turned off by the pricing on Novelkeys. The price has been fixed now! Please help support the baby sloths (40s) and branches (spacebars)! They need your help!

Thanks

MachoMafia · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 09 September 2020, 16:30:32 »

I really want to get a mouse mat. Are the edges stitched? Is the thickness 3mm or 4mm? I can't seem to find this information.

driftingbunnies · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 10 September 2020, 11:29:36 »

Check out the page for the mat! It shows that it's stitched and 4mm thick

Got my very first RAMA today, and it's a little sloth. Incredibly cute, and also looks nice on 9009 (I did not buy the keycaps, just the RAMA).

Best, Johannes

According to Novelkeys, the ETA is Q4 2021. Drifting mentioned on Discord that color matching has been completed back in January.

Quick update - we received some feedback on the novelties that needed some changes. It looks like GMK is unable to make the original novelties work even though they gave us the greenlight back in July 2020. Anyways, I've attached the revised novelties in order to match GMK's requirements.

TjarleN · « **Reply #38 on:** Mon, 05 July 2021, 11:42:14 »

Oh noo they lost their cute eyes

Yeah, quite unfortunate but I think on a keycap, it might not be as noticeable. It's quite frustrating since we had asked for feedback over a year ago and only today did we find out that our original novelties would not work.

I got email from Novelkeys saying they expect to receive this in 1-3 weeks.
It's possible we get it by exactly the end of the year.

shivesh · « **Reply #42 on:** Fri, 31 December 2021, 10:55:30 »

Got it delivered today, very happy end to 2021! A lot of the non-standard keys were missing though, my keyboard layout is UK 75%. I can substitute most of the missing keys with the ones from the novelties set, but I'm missing the UK enter key and the right shift key. Any chance I can get my hands on these 2 keys (I ordered from mykeyboard.eu)?
