Snappo, Duckboi and I decided to create this new thread to mark the beginning of our collaboration as well as giving a fresh start to the keyset.
GMK Monochrome
This collaboration was first announced under the name Stormtrooper Redux. That said, after talking to GMK, and for licensing purposes, they asked us to check with Disney (or change it). Same goes for the novelties which is why we put them on pause. Novelty-wise, even if we got the approval from Disney, that kit would have a MOQ of 250 units and we are not sure we would reach it. Since we are slowly moving away from the theme, we decided to go back to monochrome 
Sorry for all the confusion guys <2
Kits

Core Kit
Extra Kit
Extras
I am an artisan lovers, and we decided we would keep the artisans.
- Alphakeycaps is on board and there will be a raffle for his Jedi Blinker. We will produce around 10 of those and they will be raffled between GB participants.
- RAMA offered to produce this beauty, a black anodised X or O keycap with laser edged white stars (subtle but stunning). Those keycap will thus come in either black ano only, for $36 each, or with laser etched stars (which I think look fan-tastic) for $38 each. (prices for Europe will be a little higher unfortunately due to import fees). There is a combined MOQ of 50 (which I am sure we will easily hit) and everyone can buy them and everyone can buy as many as they want…
Every person joining the the Stromtrooper Redux GB will be granted one unique entry into the raffles!

FAQ
Q: What kind of homing keys will this support?
A: The set includes both scooped and barred F & J keys.
Q: What will the pricing be like?
A: We are waiting to hear back from GMK for pricing.
Q: Why is ISO in the extras kit?
A: We have noticed that, for the most part, the majority of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts do not use ISO.
By taking these keys out of the base we can lower pricing for everyone else.
However, we aren’t opposed to combining the kits, or moving ISO to the base kit, if it does not increase the price by too much.
Q: Why Icon mods?
A: We think this looks cleanest and fits the vision of the set the best.
