So are these Cream+ switches the same material composition as regular Cream switches? Looks super interesting, thanks for doing something new in the MX space!

I don’t see the novelty keys for the Olivia set on there? Are they an extra I need to get with the set or are they included

Will there be Cream+ switches that comes with the inserts pre-installed in the future?

Olivia F row looks off. Why are they all black and not like the gmk set?

Are the cream+ switches similar to the old cream switches where we need to lube and break in?

Interested in the Cream+ switches! Are there any content creators that these switches have been sent out to, to test? Curious as to how these sound on a board with the different inserts

Will the cream+ stems fit in other housings? Like will it be possible to make frankenswitches with them?

Someone’s marketing department wants to scrap with Wuque Studios, Zeal, and Krytox/Tribosys/Gazzew, huh?

If it’s not 1:1, why is it called Olivia and not Olivia-inspired/-styled or something? It seems the current trend of official PBT recreations of GMK-produced sets is to be 1:1, and that’s what people want when they shop for them

Thank you for the groupbuy update

It follows established naming conventions for PBT rereleases of existing GMK-produced sets

Whom it was designed by is separate. GMK Olivia being named after Olivia, a known and established designer, was a personal choice. A different set with a relatively similar design doesn’t also have to be named after them. I don’t call Spellbook “Novelkeys_ Bub” or GMK Copper “GMK fatboycarney.” I see what you’re getting at, but it’s missing the point

I don’t think they need to rename it, but it would be nice to have an upfront disclaimer that it’s not a recreation, but a similarly inspired set
