Hello, kitting has been updated.

With the introduction of 2 base kits, it was a difficult thing to figure out how the spacebars kit would play and where to put certain things.

The decision to put 2u, 2.25u, 2.75u, and extra B in base was one that I thought about for a long time. Although I would have loved to have those in the spacebars kit, it just would have made the spacebars kit extremely large and inevitably made the spacebars kit more expensive.

I've also removed the 2u shift from both base kits because its not that common of a layout (if you use a 60% with arrows, just move to a 65 or use VIA to set WASD/HJKL as arrows my guy) and I think 60% with arrows is cursed (sorry not sorry).

Please feel free to offer more suggestions (primarily around the spacebar situation).

Good calls all around. The current spacebar distribution is good, I don't think I'd change it further.

They're already in base, why negotiate against yourself like that 😅

Wow, this looks great. Also considering this is R2 that means that it'll not be stuck on color matching for an eternity. GLWIC!

He probably wants the second B for an R1 kit that didn’t have it.

Wow, it looks so much better in actuality than in renders. I was going to pass this up originally when a friend showed me the renders but now seeing the actual color of the orange I might go for this.

Good luck with the interest check; hopefully everything goes well :D

This was honestly a very hard decision to make. But this was the best (my opinion) way to make this all work

If there is ever a round 3, I would love to see more coral novelties. Acropora, Zoanthus, Gorgonians, Euphyllia... I've got a saltwater tank and want to see more CORALS!!!

Will the HIBI collab include their Pudding cap?

Any chance for a Tokkipee collab?

Joined the hobby way after R1 ran, excited to see it come back, will join regardless of the above.

Wait wait wait just to clarify, so there will be no split spacebar kit OR included in base? 2.25u+2.75u in the coral color at the very least? Am I missing part of the thread or is that correct?

I'm not sure that would kill this for me, but close. I was hoping if this came to fruition soon I could use it on a Dimple :/.

Nevermind, I see the white ones in base. Would be ideal to be able to choose from the coral ones without having to buy the darker base, but for production I get it. Gonna be more or less impossible to color match to find coral ones, so white it is.

Sorry, I went back and looked again. I look at a lot of keycaps lol.

Made an account just to ask

Will there be extras for the r2, and will purchasing them still result in 25% being donated to the Coral Reef Alliance? Found out about this set too late but I'm still hoping to contribute to the cause!

Thanks!

Since it ran, the GB thread is the best place do discuss GMK Coral R2 - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=117594.0

Vendors are currently estimating this set will ship in Q4 2023, at which time some will do doubt be selling extras.  Some might even take pre-orders at some point between now and delivery.
