I get what you're saying, but those keycaps have been sitting in the US since ~November when they were supposed to be in SEA and neither side is stating why.
I guess this would be a good time to share a small piece of info that I have. I was going to wait a while in hopes that someone running the group buy would clear things up properly and in detail, but the timing seems good and I doubt waiting will yeild results any time soon.
Around the beginning of February I contacted Originative and asked for an explanation as to why the seemingly unnecessary delay on the Premium kits. Here is the response I got:
Hello ...,
We're currently awaiting the EXENT sets right now to ship to our customers. We have sent the payment, but we haven't received anything product-wise yet for our customers.
As soon as we receive the EXENT keyboards, we'll be sending an invoice to group buy participants, and then we'll be shipping out the keyboards.
Kind Regards,
Sheraton
From what I can tell in the first paragraph the GMK sets are not ready yet. Why it's taking this long I wish I knew. I'm assuming whoever's in charge put in the order ridiculously late, or that GMK didn't start production due to a lack of communication (that would be easy to assume)
The second paragraph confuses me though. It sounds like all of the Premium kits are going to be shipped to Originative, they'll repackage the GMK set + switches + keyboard, then send them off. Shipping the switches and GMK set to Juanhenza sounds much cheaper, so I dunno why they would do the opposite. Unless the first "keyboard" actually meant keyset, but that's still a bit fuzzy. After already sending me an explanation I thought it would be rude to ask for clarification, so I left it at that.
Sorry if this leaves more questions than answers, but I thought a little bit of confusing information was just as good as the no information that's currently being provided (or rather, not provided). Do remember that this info is two weeks old, so any number of things might have changed. I could have misunderstood his response as well (and I hope that I have).
