[GB] GMK Electric (FINAL NUMBERS IN)
« on: Mon, 06 September 2021, 22:19:54 »


GMK ELECTRIC

VISIT THE PRODUCT PAGE HERE →

GROUP BUY DATE : SEPTEMBER 6TH TO OCTOBER 6TH, 2021

ESTIMATED DELIVERY : Early Q4 2022



I'm extremely happy to say that GMK Electric is finally in group buy! The IC for this set was posted in July of 2017, meaning there were years where I thought this set would never see the light of day. Thank you to everybody in the community who encouraged me to finish what I started. Since I founded my own vendor, Vala Supply, I did more than I ever thought I could for Electric! A direct fulfillled resin artisan, matching coiled cable, and the first ever custom Vala switch. Can't wait to see Electric on everybody's boards ;)

    I'm super happy to see this move to GB. Way to stick with it, Vala.

    I may have to get in on this for the 2017 "nostalgia" kick ^-^

    Ty dvorcol.

    Just wanted to say that everything is guaranteed to hit MOQ, except for potentially the Asero Artisans and the Colevrak kit.

    All other kits including NordeUK & Extension will be made, as will the deskmats, switch, cable, and Flux Capacitor.

    If you have friends who use Colemak or Dvorak please let them know this set exists so we don't have to cancel Colevrak either :')

    So awesome to see this set finally come to fruition. Congrats to Vala for sticking with it and making it happen. I'm not sure if my wallet can support it this month but we will see...

    Thank you for the support!

    loving the asero artisan!

    Me too, but sales are struggling. If you want the Asero, don't hesitate to get it because it might not hit MOQ; we will refund the full cost if it is cancelled. Realistically, we only need about 40 units to sell globally and Vala Supply will buy out the rest, so I'm still hopeful they will be made!

    GMK 2B for the base/light alphas, GMK N9 for the mods & dark alphas, GMK CR for the black legends. The teal is a custom Pantone.

    What is the pantone color code? The lighting in the render may make the colors seem a little different from how they are irl and I want to see if it will match some stabilizers I am thinking about buying

    Apologies but I don't plan on sharing the Pantone code publicly, we may make some adjustments to the final color to better match the renders/vision as opposed to the direct Pantone.

    All kits & SKUs will be made except for Colevrak. Final numbers will be in soon (tm). Waiting on all vendor extras, but it is looking like we will hit 1000 MOQ on base!

    I'm super sad about this. I followed this very closely in 2017 and gave up hope of this ever coming to fruition. I took a break from KBs and now coming back to see that the GB was just a few months ago almost 4 years later.  :(

    Are there any more future group buys planned for this?

    As customary, vendors have picked up extras. You can get this set when it comes out, although paying that 'extra'.

    I was able to get in touch with Vala by discord a month ago and he said an update here was coming...

    Long story short, this will likely not be delivered until Q1/23
