It’s plastic. U ain’t getting much to begin with. Only way you’re paying $130 is if u get in on the group buy and wait 2yrs. Aftermarket gets marked up.
My keys been kicking fine for the past 3 yrs. I’d rather take that $100 and go get a nice dinner

Exactly. Clones good enough. Colored plastic ain’t worth all that hype

Still no clue where you got $200 from, but you get what you pay for with clones.

I think this could have easily just been "Made in Germany and back ordered due to popularity". lol.

Mine arrived this week as well. Does yours also have issues with keycaps rubbing against the plate and clearance around the keycaps making removing them quite difficult?
Mine was far worse with rubbing keycaps with Box Jades than the Drop Halo Clear (or Halo True not sure) switches I swapped to next. I have Gateron G Pro Red (the Halo sounded awful in it) that are about the same as the Halo for keycap rubbing.

Why are the only low-profile 90-degree connectors I can find janky adapters from weird brands on Amazon?

Well, from what I know (and why GMK has been taking longer and longer), there was a plastic shortage a while back. This, plus the fact that GMK is a large company outside of keycaps (keycaps are a backseat for them and only a very minor amount of their profit) means it’s not their top priority

Calipers measure to .001in or. 01mm. .001in is .025mm so measuring in inches is technically more accurate.
Should still measure in mm though

After a few GBs just like that I have realized the actual product would never have the exact pristine looking as it appeared in the render pictures. Most are close, some will be disappointing. It's of course good quality, no doubt, but it's also not super and not worth the waiting time.

What shape is the tactile bump? P? D? How do they compare vs u4t and other popular tactiles?

Yeah, I've also considered getting them, but haven't gotten myself to spend the extra money on them or LEMO connectors yet, so it's only been the regular shrink-wrapped usb c connectors and gx12s for me so far lol Though I did get some electroplated aviator connectors from AliExpress and they were nicer than expected

..Yes? This is an exact repeat of the other thread.
