I'm not enjoying the wait for my first group buy. Was tempted to join another but the artist/person in charge of fulfillment for that one has gone radio silent.

Always research before doing a group buy, you can post a question on the sticky in this subreddit. But it's important to know who the people that are making the keyboard are, what are the average wait times and whether or not people have had many bad experiences with them.
I'm sad group buys even exist but it makes sense for the smaller manufacturers to get the cash to make something before they actually make it.

Even then, some group buys just go under despite the creator's reputation. For example, the whole Charue Design situation: The owner completely disappeared a few months ago, has been ignoring all contact, the website was shut down, and now he's been disputing chargebacks. And before all of this, the guy had a great reputation -- he was even the moderator of r/mechmarket.

scary stuff. But then again, if you didn't gamble - there'd be much fewer keyboards you could get your hands on

I'm leaving this hobby after my last 2 group buys. I cant live my life always waiting for the next GB to open and when it ships.

I feel that. I'm not necessarily leaving the hobby, because I still love keyboards, but I'm definitely learning that groupbuys aren't worth the hassle in most cases. Likely just going to buy in-stock or secondhand from now on.

I don’t think those have shipped yet, looks like the gmmk pro?

They sent out one batch. I got mine about two weeks ago.

That said, this is not a QK75, the QK only has three keys on the right.

Are the group buys a long wait due to production or not enough capital to produce?

Which one is this? I was looking for a 75 with a complete row of 4 on the right hand slide (most only have 3)
