GMK Orenji Preorders End Today, Production Moves Into Queue
An announcement earlier this week said the GMK Orenji preorder window would close on December 9, 2025, and confirmed the keycap group buy has been fully paid and queued for production with GMK. Deskpad samples were approved and are now in production, and a vendor list covering multiple regions was published to remind buyers of limited availability and regional preorder options.
The GMK Orenji project reached a key milestone this week as organizers confirmed financial commitments and moved the run into production while warning that the preorder window would close on December 9, 2025. The confirmation means mold tooling and production scheduling with GMK can proceed, and deskpad samples that were reviewed have been approved and sent to production as well. With today marked as the reported last day to preorder, availability may be limited for late buyers.
Organizers published a vendor list covering the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, South Korea, China, Australia, and Japan. That list was intended to guide buyers toward region specific preorder options and to reduce the risk of missing the window. Vendor preorders remain the primary way to secure kits and deskpads before the group buy closes, and some regions will see tighter stock because quantities were capped during the signup phase.
For readers actively tracking orders verify vendor preorder status and estimated ship dates before placing or finalizing an order. Confirm that payment went through and save order confirmations. If you were planning to add a deskpad note that samples are now in production, which typically shortens final lead times for accessory fulfillment, but does not change keycap manufacturing timelines once production is underway.
This stage is significant for the community because full payment and production scheduling are the most critical steps that convert a design from promise to real product. For collectors and builders this is a reminder that group buy timelines can move quickly and that regional vendor options affect both shipping costs and delivery windows. Expect production updates as GMK begins manufacturing and as vendors move to invoicing and fulfillment phases.
