I'm in the same situation with the KAT Space Dust set. I got some inexpensive caps so I can use the rest of the keyboard until they arrive.

This is my first and last group buy. I understand the delays due to COVID, but there is very little communication from the vendor and consumer on the status of the orders. The only time we get an update is when another estimated shipping date has been missed.

From my experience, only buy into group buys if you're comfortable with never seeing a return on investment.

Yes! I also bought an inexpensive E-PBT kit as a temporary solution, but it's kinda sad that I've already worn down the keyboard even as completely new keycaps are on the way .. I'm also reluctant to send another complaint, because the keycaps may (?) arrive soon, I just don't get it, I am pretty disoriented as to what I should do ..

.. but after all the comments on the post, I feel a bit more willing to send them an actual request for a refund, since I could just buy the kit that I originally wanted.

At think the reality is we can't trust Keyreative. They didn't do their homework on if they could do reverse dye subbing before taking all the Group buys on, so now we're not even getting dye subbed, it's double shot. Secondly, they promised to be better before about communication back at the start of 2022 and failed spectacularly. Finally, they're willing to ship GB orders without final approval because they're that desperate to get orders out the door. (Happened with KAT Space Cadet)

I could write more talking about how disappointed I was with Space Cadet and KAT as a whole. But that's another topic for another time. I'll still do GBs, I've had good experiences. I'm just not doing Keyreative anything for the foreseeable future.
