is it same pantone 2695c with phantom or future funk?
know as phatom and future funk are same color, but saw there are totally different.

clik_clak · « **Reply #4 on:** Sat, 02 July 2022, 12:54:34 »

Got my order in for base/extensions/relegendables. That base kit was too good to pass on.

If this doesn't make MOQ, I'm going to be very, very sad.

Adqam64 · « **Reply #5 on:** Sat, 02 July 2022, 13:30:31 »

How come this set has UK ISO in the base kit but you don't have a UK vendor? After the mess MKEU is still having with UK shipping I'm hardly going to order a GB from them again.

Didn't even consider a UK vendor to be honest, too late now I guess, I'll remember for R2

Thanks for your support, hitting MOQ is guaranteed. I'm buying it out if it doesn't make it.

You might be surprised. No harm in asking a UK vendor if they'll carry it.

I love it when a keycap set that can literally be used on virtually every keyboard layout ever invented

Ordered, great set and great cap by HIBI. Thank you for having UK ISO in the base, large complete base kits is the way to go.

Curious why there are 2 1u Fn keys, but only 1 1u Alt key. You only ever need 1 1u Fn, but need 2 1u Alt keys for macOS 7u spacebar support.

Appreciate the massive base kit though, GLWGB!

The set was already being backed to have everything made, so it already made "MOQ".

Given that colour matching's done, it's just waiting for GMK innit.

I would like to know as well..especially since Mechs and Co are in some trouble at the moment.

JonoColwell · « **Reply #29 on:** Fri, 30 June 2023, 18:34:46 »

Hey guys, the discord I don't check a whole lot, been real busy with work.

I'm not 100% sure what effect Mechs and Co dropping out will have on the GB, however MOQ (250) was met without M&C, I've already paid for my sets and have had no indication that there are any issues, Lead vendor was Daily Clack and I have faith in them.

Will follow up.

codog · « **Reply #30 on:** Fri, 30 June 2023, 21:02:41 »

I guess people that ordered from mechs and co are just ****ed and won't see what they paid for lol (that includes me)

JonoColwell · « **Reply #31 on:** Fri, 30 June 2023, 21:17:32 »

Hopefully not, I've yet to hear anything and I don't know what's going on with that situation

HaX · « **Reply #32 on:** Sun, 02 July 2023, 03:51:59 »

anyone know if the other vendors will be able to accomodate mechs and co gb participants if they're willing to rebuy the set?

Looks like their website is down and they're ghosting everyone. Looks like my $327.49 that I paid for gmk regal went down the drain.

IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES · « **Reply #37 on:** Thu, 13 July 2023, 10:00:11 »

Mike’s got a new job, both him and Chris have whitewashed their linkedin pages.

The perk is that if you escalate your chargeback on your credit card…they’re not gonna respond. Should have a decent chance.

HaX · « **Reply #38 on:** Thu, 13 July 2023, 11:26:20 »

~~Credit card company wont let me dispute charge because the estimated fulfillment date has not been reached" honestly I hate talking to customer support when crap like this happens.~~

Talked with a new rep today and told them about the unfolding events, including how the website has been down and you can't even check on anything, nor are they responding to customers. So now the chargeback has been initiated.

codecoffeecode · « **Reply #39 on:** Mon, 31 July 2023, 14:52:05 »

@JonoColwell so now that Mechs & Co. have officially imploded, are you or another vendor planning on hosting a new group buy for US-based buyers? Is there enough time to add orders to what is already in the queue with GMK? You said MOQ was met without the US; do you know how many extras the other vendors will have?

I'm not suggesting that you have any obligation to the Mechs & Co. customers, but I'm curious to know what would be the easiest way for someone who went through Mechs & Co. to get this set. Is there a Discord with more up to date information?

Mech's and Co seems to have gone completely radio silent, above are links to all of the PSAs regarding this, I have had no contact with Mech's and Co, please follow the instructions in the above links with regards to charge-backs ASAP.

At present I have no additional information on anything further relating to the status of the order from Mech's and Co, this shouldn't impact any of the other regions.

I think most people are aware of the current situation: their website has been down for weeks. I have gotten my money back from my bank. @JonoColwell, I'm asking if are you able, and if there is time, to coordinate with another US-based vendor before GMK is slated to produce this set? Or if any extras have been purchased by the other vendors?

Now that Novelkeys has made the announcement that they are picking up a lot of slack of the other M & Co.'s GMK orders, any word if someone may be picking this up to finish the GB? NK verified they did not pick up Regal and they can't comment on other sets.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE some other vendor, please tell me you've picked this up and will complete the GB for us. This is the set I've always wanted and bought every kit. Not getting it at this point will make me very sad.

Currently there are no plans sadly to take up this set, It could happen but nothing has been confirmed. Since mech&co wasn't the lead vendor ~~they have no data on it~~ they have the data but have no initiative to do regal I guess. I feel that the only 2 vendors that could potentially do something was Geon or Daily Clack (The lead vendor) but don't expect anything to happen.

If you do really want this set, Extras may be you're only option. If you paid with a credit card, you could ask the card to chargeback siting goods not delivered as the period of time could allow you to chargeback and just buy extras when they come out (I have heard of vendors saving kits for people but don't expect that to happen)

Also provide evidence, such as their lack of communication (like send an email than wait a week for your evidence there as they probably won't respond) and the order not being delivered, and all the updates on gh/reddit. That could be enough to do a chargeback. Good luck with that and I'll update this if something changes.

I want to buy this from MyKeyboard, but am a bit concerned about their financials. Do you know if they've paid the invoice for this set?
