    Nice! Those issues you mentioned sorted with the ghpad? I love the concept of a 40% keyboard but the compromises are just too much compared with a 60% board or larger...

    In other news I have a Minila coming my way :D Tiny spacebar cheesecake :lol:

    I don't know - I think so, well I hope so - would be silly for it to be a new revision and still have pads that are too small!

    I don't know if I will like the 40 or not, I don't have a case for it either which will make life fun.

    Bah I reckon anyone who contacted GMK would of got the email - and most thanks is probably due to Ivan for starting the united front against MOQs!

    Whoever got them to lower it by nearly half deserves a medal imo - means that the CMYK Esc pack can be made when before it was barely over half MOQ and the Dark Dolch GB is now over half way there rather than barely over a quarter of the way there. I think a lot of people thought that they would jump on later if it looked like it'd meet MOQ but of course, in doing that, they meant that the buys never made it anywhere near MOQ :D

    Proper exciting times :clap:

    Things I am waiting on over the next few months:

    2x gh60
    1x 40%
    1x 40% maz case
    1x ghpad
    1x 60% spirit
    Calm depths
    Penumbra
    Nostalgia (BANE OF MY LIFE at the moment)
    Rain drop v2
    Unnamed GMK magic that is being designed

    Is a good haul! I just want things to start arriving :D Need to probably invest in one of the fancy 60% cases or else I will have boards with no homes.

    LEGENDSSSSSSSSSSS

    It's just taking ages. 3 needed ISO legends turned into about 10, and there is some other missing legends, just trying to get them all sorted at the moment but means trying to sort a couple of people, all in different time zones etc. etc. etc. etc.

    It's all paid for - just working on getting the legends right and in the format sp want, don't want to rush it and thus jeapordise the over all look of the set.

    I thought Pokers and the like were 60% boards, so what the heck is missing from a 40%?

    I can't see Margon's piccy at work but the number-row is gone amongst other things

    Edit: Ninja'd

    Edit 2: I like the concept of a 40% board but in reality it's so restrictive I would never buy one - I mean you have to use the function layer to type pretty much all punctuation and any numbers...

    Edit 3:

    Eww - complicated and fiddy (and important!)... If there's anything I can do to help let me know (although almost certainly there isn't lol)
