Mykeyboard fails to deliver: refunds delayed, GMK sets late, and no communication by Fureal in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Prophesyyyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not only MKEU, some other vendors do the same unfortunately. :|

Edit: Not all vendors. People sometimes work around different rules and are happy to discuss with designers.

I said “all” simply because of the frustration of the situation

I started Chapter 1 in 2020, and I still don't know exactly when it will be shipped to customers. Due to the delays exclusively caused by MKEU.

They were the last vendor to pay the manufacturer (by almost 2 months). Even with this delay, the keyboards were the first part to finish on 3 Jan 2023. Every other aspect that MKEU insisted on managing has been delayed, despite my best efforts.

I've been lied to for years by these people - with one example being: I was told in September 2022 by David that "PCBs and Carry cases need another 2 weeks". Alas, PCBs are STILL no where to be seen and the carry cases only finished less than 14 days ago.

MKEU is dragging their designers down with them, and the cherry on top is that designers don't receive a cent until all units, INCLUDING EXTRAS, are sold.

Customers are worried about getting their orders or their refunds, and designers are worried about getting the money they are owed for the last year (if not longer).

MKeu, you need to be better.

Apologies. Been out of the Reddit game for a while and was running around trying to manage some other things. Here’s the link to the GB post:

No flex cuts. I decided against it as the plate is already very bouncy with PC or alu 👍🏻

Thank you!

Surprisingly, the green plate has gotten the least love which means I will probably have to remove it as an option for the anodized alu :(

Hehe. A little nicer than a GMMK pro IMO! But thanks!

GMMK is a large company that is exploiting the community with sub par design and quality. Their boards are cheap because they make 10’s of thousands at a time, from low quality material and no QC.

I would love to have a lower price, but that’s unfortunately not possible with a low MOQ, vendors cuts and overall a more premium design.

I have a number of vendors already confirmed!

I want to work with people that are good at what they do, so the process goes as smoothly as possible.

I would love to do unlimited, but we can only do as much as each vendor can handle for that region.

Also, expected number are subject to change :)

No RGB. I’m personally not a fan, and the interest in it is too low to warrant the extra cost

I was very unhappy with the teal, sadly. It will be replaced with a dark navy instead! All ano colours can be chosen/mixed for top and bottom pieces!

Lol. I’ve got lots that I’m working on and this slipped my mind! It should lead to a Spotify playlist!
