Dear fellow enthusiasts, today I am bringing you an update regarding GMK Oblivion V2 that we ran this Summer. GMK has finished production and sent me a couple units for quality control. In terms of colors, everything came out great. The set looks as you'd expect from seeing the renders and the previous round of it. However I quickly noticed that on some of the new Git keys, the text legends were not quite in line with the rest as they have a higher margin towards the edge of the key. I took this discovery to GMK, and after some discussion with Drop we are now working on a fix for the affected sets. This means that all kits except the Git Base Kit are currently en route to Drop's warehouse in New Jersey, while the Git Base Kits remain in Germany for about two more weeks. All orders that did not include a Git Base Kit can therefor be fulfilled upon arrival, while the remaining orders will have to wait a bit more. Below you will see the keys that I have requested to be replaced:

I know that this delay is not ideal, and some Christmas gifts will not make it in time, however you paid for a premium product, and we want to make sure that you will receive one in the end. Please accept my sincere apologies, I will continue work on these keyset projects and do my best to prevent future mishaps. - Oblotzky TX-CP with GMK Oblivion V2 Git Base Kit

OblotzkyHey all, Like @Oblotzky said, this is a bit unexpected and we discovered the issue at the eleventh hour. Our operations team are now working with GMK and @Oblotzky to get the fixes where they need to be and also get everyone else's sets moving. With the holiday logistics logjam - it will take us a little time to get updated estimates out on shipping. I expect to get another update out to everyone on Friday. Fingers crossed it's to let those unaffected know their keycap sets are on their way! Thank you all for your patience and we'll keep you updated.

OblotzkyJust to specify, it's not a "higher" margin... it's indented more to the right on some of them... The outline in blue sort of makes the key shape look different, so the extra indention wasn't as noticable at first. Free Monochrome mod set for all of us affected? ;)

OblotzkyIs it just me, or does the "Hello, World!" legend have a bigger left margin as well?

OblotzkyThanks for the update, thanks for catching that, and thanks for getting it fixed. From the pictures, it looks like the "Hello, World!" key might also be affected.

OblotzkyThanks for catching the error and didn't let it sneak past! I don't mind delay it a little to get it right!

EnsaumSo it seems, in both the picture with all the caps and in the TX65 one...
OblotzkyWell definitely not the news I was looking to find when I clicked on here for an update, but glad you caught it! The keys with the wrong margin do look really out of place with the rest & I would not have been happy with that as a finished product either. Like others have said, it looks like the "Hello, World!" is affected by the issue as well. Thanks for the update!

OblotzkyGMK should have checked these before sending out the samples of the caps. Or was this an error on the file that was submitted to them?

OblotzkyOh wow, nice catch! Delays always suck but I'd rather wait a few more weeks than get a screwy set. Thanks for having them redone!

YanboWuI ordered all 3 bases. Can the order be partially filled with the non-Git kits first? Or do they have to wait for the Git base to arrive?

WXYddI imagine not, due to the cost of shipping two separate packages as opposed to one. It might be possible if drop could find a way to bill you for the extra shipping, but I can't imagine them taking the time and effort to do so. I suppose they could ship the two packages at cost to them, but I see that as just as unlikely.

YanboWuHas there been any decision made over the regular non-Git sets? Will they ship with the "Hello World!" Enter key as it is now or will they also be delayed until the keycap is re-made?

c_r_zI think "Hello World!" Enter key has no issues as it wasn't circled in Oblotzky's screenshot.

EST4RIt has been confirmed on geekhack: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101034.msg2840642#msg2840642 "We are also working with GMK for a replacement "Hello, World!" key, as it appears to be problematic as well. As that is a single key, we may opt to ship out replacements separately (pending a decision from our operations team)." But there are literally pictures of the final product at the top of this thread where you can see it has the wrong alignment: "Hello World" is just below the "Commit" key that is highlighted as wrong and it aligns with it rather than with "Return" that is two positions above. Also can see that it is not aligned with the short "Shift" below it. And there are pictures with it on a board then below those there are pictures with the regular "Return" where you can also see that it is misaligned. Why wasn't this posted here or why wasn't there an e-mail, I have no idea.

OblotzkyAre there any updates regarding sending out the Hello World key separately? Will the other kits be delayed because of that one key?

OblotzkyDo they really go from Germany to the US and then back to Portugal? Couldn't European buyers get them directly ?
Unfortunately no. There was an initiative from Drop to send items from EU (Headphones only at first), but it was never used for Keycap sets and was now shut down in December. The entire order was first sent to their warehouse in New Jersey and then split up there to be sent to the individual customers.

Oblotzkyim wondering how those misalignment happened? it is a doubleshot process meaning it has an existing mould right? just a color change
rushhhThe Git legends and the Hello World were newly created for this set, legend plates didn't exist for them yet. They were re-made for the correction.

You should have gotten an additional pack of keycaps along with your base kit in a box. Did you not receive the fix kit pack?
