New GMMK Pro - mechanical keyboard

[roy_g_biv]

Went on preorder today in the US, and it reads like a checklist of desirable hobbyist specs.

75%, gasket mount, aluminium CNC case, hotswap switches, rotary encoder

Apparently arriving in the UK (and ISO) in Q2 2021

OC stocks the regular GMMK so it's likely they'll be the distributor here. Looks like my gf is getting my old keyboard

Anyone else getting one?

Went to send OC a webnote to ask about their plans towards this, they're asking for urgent messages only because of the ongoing Nvidia clusterwhoopsie.

Who knows they might see this..

hah, I get what you mean, I've just been scouring the internet looking for a keyboard with this particular configuration - it's a bit sad I know...

The US announcement by Glorious said they'd be relying on distributors to arrange preorders in other markets. Maybe speak to someone at OC to see what their plans are? If you find out I'd be interested to know

Anything similar to this from a group buy is typically about 3x the price. I am definitely interested, even though I've taken positive steps towards kerbing my KB spending... (even cancelled my switch order for Holy Panda's recently... )

TBH I'm glad to have found this quite early on, it'll be such a ££ jump to get something else with similar specs that I can be reasonably confident in keeping it as a daily driver for years!

Been teaching myself to build stuff anyway, seems to be a more sensibly-priced side of the hobby than GBs and GMK keycaps
