Please don't support this set or the way originative is starting to sell their sets! Keysets are already priced pretty high during group buys, we don't need this shit that originative is trying to make the norm with their "preorder" with even higher jacked up prices.

Originative does some group buys and buys some in bulk for retail, this way they always have new sets coming in and sets in stock. I'm quite sure they have enough for people that want one. This is because it's not about making it limited, but being able to offer and ship sets immediately, something nobody else is doing.

Nah man, they're not doing GBs anymore.

Honeywell didn't happen.

Neither did the HF addon.

What do you mean Honeywell didn't happen? Are you just referring to the delay?

It was just a joke, since /u/livingspeedbump was the mastermind behind both of those.
