The english 200 setting thing is very true, I'm 130-140wpm on that setting and only 110-120 on english 10k, add punctuation and caps to that and I'm like 100-110 at best

But the english 10k also isn't representative because all the words are equally random whereas in actual english some words are used much more than others. Quotes are the best for practice probably

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.

Reply to First group buy. Took almost 2 years by darth_kiko

I can't see myself buying a bit of plastic and waiting for 2 years for it to arrive. The benefit being realistically slightly sharper legends and marginally better colours over widely available in-stock keycaps that aren't GMK or whatever else. I just don't think it's fair to consumers and it's a bad business practice that shouldn't be endorsed.

I understand it when it comes to boards (most keyboards take way less than that to get produced too) because they need to know how many they are going to sell in order to figure out a profitable logistics/manufacturing route but I don't see a reason GMK would do that. They could just mass produce and people would just buy it because of their quality.
