If I wanted to purchase just the deskmats, would it be shipped earlier than the keycaps or will they share the similar Q3/4 shipping date estimation?

Super happy all kits will be made! I got the base, novelties, RAMA artisan, deskmat, and Lemo Cable, so I'm gonna do an entire Aurora Polaris build! Stoked to put it on my Alpine65 once that arrives. Great job!

I'm mildly surprised how many extra kits were ordered.

Normally artisan collabs are during the gb period; when can we expect some of the other artisan raffles to happen?

It’s here and it’s looking good! Will attempt to take some potato pics and hope one of them does the set justice. Somewhat at least.

Is it just me or are the GMK samples noticeably different from the pantone 339 colors?

crzone · « **Reply #44 on:** Tue, 08 February 2022, 14:43:30 »

The samples do match 339C the most out of the ones in the picture. While it is not color matched, here's my pic:

YESWEKEN · « **Reply #45 on:** Thu, 03 March 2022, 18:03:09 »

were the colors of the alt mod set changed sometime during the production process? The renders make the legend colors on the alt mod set look way brighter/lighter colored than what ended up being delivered.
