Oh! No worries. :) I meant it as the Odin V2 in white is my dream board. I have a white akko 3098b, because when I was shopping for o e- the Odin was always sold out.

I love the 1800 layout. And I sell them, so it's pretty even

Yup! It’s one of the Aesthetic mats from CannonKeys. They went out of stock right after I bought mine. 😩

That's ok, I don't get the appeal of the wooting knowing typewriters exist

Love the Odin V2. Have the e-white myself but that blue looks really good.

That is possible. The only other place I've seen things get downvoted is ffxiv sub which can also have salty players.

>Are you going to tell some solid numbers or are you going to just respond with empty arguments?
If you mean am I going to spoon feed you? No. The facts are all there to be found should you wish to find them. If you want to know more, then I suggest you frequent the Discord servers of the main vendors, designers and manufacturers and talk to them, or at least just read what others are discussing. Use Geekhack as a resource for information, not Reddit.
​
>Because reddit "anonymous" coommenters are not a source of truth to me?
Yet you keep asking me for more truth... on Reddit? LOL. Take the advice in the above paragraph, and spend some time talking to people who you can trust more then, and actually learn about a subject before you condemn it. Please... don't take my word for it. I wouldn't want you to. I'd rather you actually learn more actually. Geekhack, and Discord are where you will get this mostly publicly disseminated information. You will find that vendors and many manufacturers are quite open to discuss most things if you join their Discords. Designers with experience are often quite open to discuss what their processes entailed, and how much they were paid, and how much GMK charge. Has it ever occurred to you to do this and pose your questions directly to those who design stuff, and those that market it, and ultimately, those that make it? I suspect it never occurred to you at all. Did it occur to you that those responding to you in this thread have? Judging by how you react to what they are telling you, I suspect that would be no as well.
There are no dark, mysterious secrets. This entire hobby is mostly community driven. Much information is readily available, and most are willing to share that information if it helps others who are interested in getting stuff made.

>Should you improve not being bitchy to people?
Should you make posts where you condemn things you know little about? What do you think?

That’s not my place to say. Obviously any delay is unacceptable for you, so you should stick to instock buys from now on. I’m fine waiting until the product is done right given that I get clear communication throughout the process.

I see this and think “wow, nice collection” but I also see this and think “Behold! My 1200 dollar hole in my pocket”
Honestly I love this form factor. It’s the best imo

How much further is it ok to go from an estimate? Is one week ok? A month? A year? Or as experienced over two years?

They give estimates not deadlines. You’re taking an estimate and applying the term deadline to it.

I don't get the appeal of linears especially now that the Wooting 60HE exists.

No you are buying understanding that the delivery of them is dependent on GMK’s ability to produce them. It’s an understood part of the hobby. Look at this link for a current gmk group buy. https://mechsandco.com/products/gb-gmk-beige-addon-extension
It states you understand that shipping is an estimate and can be extended. This is what you agree to when purchasing. There is even a whole section on group buys.

I just ordered my first Odin on Black Friday and can’t wait to build it! I especially love your black and yellow build.

I am not buying keycaps from GMK, do you understand that? :D I would bother GMK about not sending me my keycaps if I bought it from them.
> I’m not going through 10 years of GH posts.
You just admitted that you don't have any example on any input in this conversation any more. Thank you for the involvement.

>I know how much it costs to make the molds for double shot novelties... do you? I know how much it costs to develop and design a keycap set properly... I mean the personal investment to the designer. Do you? I know how much the vendors pay GMK (for example) and how much profit is made by both the vendors and the designers... do you?
Are you going to tell some solid numbers or are you going to just respond with empty arguments?
> why are you failing to understand, despite being told by multiple sources, why you are wrong?
Because reddit "anonymous" coommenters are not a source of truth to me? :D If there would be a group buy runner or a vendor replying I would take it under consideration. As far as I know, everybody commenting is just as far as a buyer.
> Everything you are saying is based purely on your opinion, and backed up by precisely zero facts.
Fair enough. It's just my opinion and experience and I never stated the opposite.
>Do you actually have any real, workable solutions? No.
Yes, I stated them in my original post and comments.
>Are you just bitching because you have to wait for these crowd funded, low production run, bespoke products are made because you entered into them with the same attitude as you would have as buying something off Amazon? Yes.
Yes, because I paid for a product and I didn't receive it. Simple as that.
>Should you just stay away from group buys? Probably.
For sure I won't attend any more group buys (after attending 9). Should you improve not being bitchy to people? Also yes.
