Reply to [GB] 8-bit Series: Gaismas Kingdom by jellykey

I really like JellyKey's design on nearly everything they do, but I cannot get over the fact that they blatantly lie about GB delivery times. I get it's hard to predict but at least have some respect for your customers.

That is common with dropshippers, they use a PRESET website/look.

Often these presets allow you to directly grab all data from aliexpress trough a script including pictures/reviews

​

Though in this case after triple checking the "store" did change the description, and does not look to use stolen reviews from before the site creation date

From the descriptions they have under each set, it is clear that they are trying to be deceptive to a high degree. The ethics of clones aside if you go on aliexpress some sellers go out of their way to state that you are buying clones, while whoever is behind this store is trying their best to make their site seem reliable. They have a fake backstory and hired a copywriter to create fake descriptions of each set for seo purposes, this is super shady behavior. Even the "gmk" in their name is deceptive as it is an acronym for "gamer made keycaps", yet they only refer to themselves with that name once on their about page, not on the front page or description of their keycaps.

Reply to Sandblasted then custom painted NK87 Alu with GMK Prepress by JJPJedi

Snagged the neon pink NK87 aluminum on clearance a few months ago, took it to a sandblaster and he stripped it clean for $15. Painted with Montana Gold aluminum primer, color, and varnish. Inside are lubed creams and a carbon fiber plate. I'm a designer by profession so I had to have GMK Prepress.

I remember seeing this website many years ago when I was “fresh” into the hobby and I wanted GMK keycaps and I knew this fake because every thing on there is “GMK”. To confirm my suspicion, I looked up a set that was supposedly GMK, but no geek hack IC or group buy page came up.

Props to you for calling this out!
