Saw this earlier. Do i want this? Do i need this? Am I going to even use it?
Will think this over
CMYW definitely is interesting. Bummer that it costs as much as the original CMYW group buy and is missing the symbol-only Shifts and has "Ctrl" legends even on the 1.25x and 1.5x keys.
I think this is basically Sheraton's (Originative) CMYW buy, not IvanIvanovich's.
It probably is his stock, just like they sold off his Tai Hao caps. No one trusts him anymore, so he's going other routes. Hopefully everyone who preorded the set gets it and it sucks if they end up paying more than those in the buy.
This would also explain, why there are no GMK renders.
I guess probably his presumption is reliable. There are a couple of grounds for believing it.
1. Shipping information
In GMK TA group buy, it describes MD will ship all orders as below.
Domestic and international orders will be shipped by Massdrop.However, in this group buy, 'the vendor' will do.
Domestic and international orders will be shipped by the vendor.2. Keycaps
The constitution of keycaps in both RGBY and CMYW mods is so similar to Originative's.
In particular, it does look like the CMYW mods do have "Ctrl" rather than "Control".
