I would also like to point out that the set has been up on Geekhack for about a week now and I have been working on improving the kits. Here are the changes made so far.

Changes so far:

• Removed R1 1u Mod Colored Pipe Key
• Added R3 1.25u Tab key & Second B to Base Kit
• Reworked Additional kit to provide way more support for 40s/ortho users
• Added 2x 1.5u Super keys & extra 1u Alt key to the additional kit for tsangan users who would prefer to use these keys
• Created Spacebar kit that offers support for split space boards

Users mentioned that they are interested in adding accent colored spacebars to the set, I’m a bit hesitant since there are 3 accent colors in the base kit. If I add accent colored bars to the spacebar kit that would add a minimum of 6 extra spacebars to the kit (only offering support for 6.25u & 7u). I don’t really want to make the spacebar kit that big, but if there is enough interest we can figure something out.

Anyone buy from space cables? I was thinking of getting into the gmk fundamentals gb, but this would be my first gmk gb and I am a bit hesistant in trusting a site that doesn’t seem to get much press on this forum (not trying to knock space cables in anyway).

Space Cables is totally trustworthy, they make some great products and run group buys all the time.

My Space Cables experience has been completely the opposite. I ordered the Hennessey cable off Drop a while ago. After it arrived after a lengthy covid delay I discovered it doesn’t work at all with a Mac. Their support guy seemed to want to blame something about a USB spec, but I’ve never had any trouble with any other USB cable. On the other hand it does look really nice, I’ll just need to buy a Windows box so I can use it.

It’s been awhile since I’ve last logged into KT, just wanted to update everyone who might have joined! This set is set to ship from GMK March 2022!
