General Inquiries

There are three phases to our Group Buy sets: Group Buy, Pre-orders, and Extras

There are three phases to our Group Buy sets1. WHAT IS A GROUP BUY?Group Buy - Customers join the Group Buy and we send an order to the manufacturer to produce against customer demand - lowest price point/not in stockGroup Buys are a method of sale similar to a pre-order. Payments are collected ahead of time in order to submit a bulk order to a manufacturer for production. Due to this, there is often an extended timeline from the order date to when the product is shipped out, with these timelines ranging from a couple weeks to several months. In all Group Buys posted here on the site I will include on the order page an estimated timeline for production and shipment. 2. WHAT IS A PRE-ORDER?Pre-order - Customers can join a Pre-order which will have limited slots open of Extra quantities we added on top of the Group Buy quantity - higher price point/not in stockA Pre-Order is a limited allocation (10-15%) of our Extra&apos;s for a Group Buy. Pre-orders are at a slightly higher price point than Group Buys but are at a lower price than an Extra. They are a limited quantity and also ship out/delivered at the same time as the Group Buy which is why they are priced higher. Pre-orders become available to order normally a few months before our shipment arrives. Extra&apos;s are not typically available until a few weeks or months after the Group Buy has been shipped out.&#xA0; 3. WHAT IS AN EXTRA?Extras - Customers can purchase in-stock keycaps - These are Extra quantities that we have after shipping all Group Buy and Pre-orders - highest price point/in stockExtra&apos;s are a limited quantity typically available for purchase a few weeks or a couple months after the original Group Buy has been shipped out. These are no longer at the lower Group Buy price point as they were not part of the original bulk order and customers no longer need to wait for the shipment. We cannot confirm quantities available until we receive the initial GB shipment.

I&apos;m missing an item from my order.

Missing Or Incorrect Items Received

While defective keysets are not eligible for full exchange,&#xA0;we&#x2019;re happy to provide replacement keys to resolve any manufacturing issues.Please note that we try to use as many real pictures as we can to represent keysets as best as possible, however to supplement these photos we also use renders and colors in the final product may vary since renders are done under idealistic artificial lighting. Renders are only used to estimate the final product. The end product may vary in color from the renders as they are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate to the end product. By purchasing these products, you are agreeing to the above terms.&#xA0;If you receive a keycap set that is missing a keycap or has damaged keycaps, please submit a claim form.

Due to the wide variety of custom colors GMK makes spacebars from, each production process is new. Meaning, the composite of the material changes with every different custom color.

Does Deskhero Offer Price Protection?

Deskhero will perform quality control inspections on custom mechanical keyboards where possible.

Some high end keyboards are shrink wrapped and/or packages are sealed. In this case Deskhero is unable to look at every keyboard for inspection and will defer to the original manufacturer Quality Control Guidelines. &#xA0;Some keyboard kits would need to be put together by our staff and if possible, we will look at the keyboard specifically and determine if the keyboard falls into an &quot;A- (Minus)&#xA0;or B Stock&quot; classification.&#xA0;A Stock<ul><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Under a visual distance of 30cm, there are no major blemishes, scratches, dents, markings on TOP and SIDE FACES&#xA0;greater than 3 x 3 mm in diameter or length&#xA0;on the custom keyboard case visible under fully assembled state:<ul style="font-family: initial; font-size: initial;"><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div data-offset-key="mj1i-0-0">The faces/exterior surfaces of the keyboard included under this clause are the sections of the top, left side, right side, front side, rear side, and bottom faces which remain visible once assembled</div></li></ul></li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div data-offset-key="6u15j-0-0">Structure assembles properly</div></li><li style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><div data-offset-key="bd4oa-0-0">&#xA0;Keyboard functions properly</div></li></ul><div data-offset-key="bd4oa-0-0">Inspection at a normal angle shall prevail.
