HELP! Okay... I am going to order one of these for myself... don't know why, except that I love it!
I'm new to mech keyboards, etc... which do I want.. red, black, or blue? I don't want one that is overly noisy, but I don't want one that is like the "big box stores' keyboards"... whatever THAT means...
Thank you... I think I would be happy with anything.. but want to get one on order before it closes. I have put off buying one because I get to this point and just stop... but now, need to get it ordered.. 1 day left!!
Please help, and thank you.
PS: Just read the diff between red, black and blue... still can't decide. I'm not a gamer... more of a typist, I guess... They need one for people who can't decide anything... make it zebra colored and a complete surprise to the person who receives it!!

If you bought this setup, it might be closer to what you want, at a cheaper price:
A GMMK @ $60 from this site https://www.pcgamingrace.com/products/gmmk-full-customized = ~$60
12 x https://novelkeys.xyz/collections/switches/products/aliaz-switches = ~$66
...and then choose whatever keycaps you prefer (ABS, PBT, whatever profile you prefer [E.g. SA, XDA, DSA, etc.]) you might find you've either spent less or as much as you would here, but get the experience you're after.
Just an example of something you might like: https://www.amazon.com/printed-Translucent-Switches-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B06XXNNW1D?th=1
The Aliaz switches are pretty quiet out of the box and with 12 order (they come in packs of 10), then you'll have a few spare. The beauty of this approach is that you'll have a keyboard that requires little work, but is completely customizable. I have clicky switches on mine for the numpad, but quieter ones all around. My alphas are using Gateron Yellows that I've modded myself, so they're quieter than anything else I've tried. The Aliaz are closer to those than anything, but require much less work.
Also keep in mind that unlike this keyboard, the GMMK doesn't have dedicated media keys. For that I downloaded the free AutoHotkey app (https://autohotkey.com/) and found a script that allows me to use some function keys as media keys. If they are function keys you don't normally use, then you can even get media keycaps to put in their place.
This is all a personal thing, but that's partly why I suggested a GMMK. You'll get the option to try things out and see what works best, instead of spending $200 for something you're basically stuck with.
EDIT: I love the Aliaz switches, but they ended up being too loose in my GMMK for my taste...kept coming out of the case while typing, so I went back to my custom Gaterons.

psicloneGMMK is great for all the reasons you mentioned but the build quality on this is what you’re paying for. If V.3 has hot swap switches IKBC is going to cause a worldwide aluminum shortage.

I have the v1 and I love it. There were a few quirky issues to deal with, but overall this is a fantastic board. I didn't know if i would like a super heavy keyboard, but after owning it for some time, it's hard to go back to light-weight keyboards. This thing is just SO STURDY.

I got one of these from the first time they were offered on Massdrop and love it. The only reason I am not currently using it is because I got one of the K-type keyboards, which goes that few extra steps toward my heart by being completely open-source and having replaceable switches.
That said, I keep it propped up againt the inside of my computer desk in case the Zombie Apocalypse breaks out. I truly believe it would win hands down as most powerful melee weapon against even the venerable katana. The only advantage the katana really has is that it would be less tiring to swing. Also, it has a numpad so if I have to do any data-entry type work I will temporarily swap it back in, in place of the K-type (which, for those who don't know, is a tenkeyless style keyboard).

YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!
This is one of the most requested options from the Keyboards For $110 And Up poll created by Chicken. Thanks to everyone who voted for making this drop possible.
1 of 22 Options
FFS, there were 434 votes in total. Only 1 person voted for this keyboard. If you have extra inventory to get rid of, own up to it.
This shit is ridiculous and it's poor customer service.

Accuracy158Mechanicalkeyboards.com has this keyboard with browns, for $159.00, and with an estimated arrival of June 5th, instead of an estimated ship date of July 11th.
Edit: They don't have blacks though. Just reds, blues, and browns.

I’m not terribly concerned with the specifics, but just how long of a delay are we talking about? A week? Two weeks? A month?

Still haven't heard from the 'MassDrop Organizer' of this Group Buy about what leds this keyboard uses.
I will make this simple here, ARE the L.E.D.s located inside the Cherry Switch OR are the L.E.D.s located down on the keyboard PCB area?
I don't have this in my possession quite yet but I would like to know first hand before receiving it.

You would need to be able to desolder all the switches and then solder in the new ones.
That doesn't make it easy, but it does mean you only have two pins per switch to desolder and resolder. If the LEDs had been inside the switch or if they had been through-hole LEDs, you would also have to desolder the LEDs to get the switches off.
Changing the switches would be a serious modding job but this keyboard is so nice that it would be worth the effort to make it perfect for you.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenThank you. That's very helpful.
I truly hope that the GMMK is the wave of the future, and that more manufacturers will make keyboards with hot-pluggable switches.
