Mekibo, a North American GMK proxy and retailer, is listing GMK Sixes as "In-stock and ready to ship" in at least some kit configurations, and the product panel on the Shop App shows a "20% off" badge alongside product controls such as "Quantity 1", "Save", and "Share". The Mekibo storefront displays multiple instances of the label "GMK Sixes (In-stock)" and a store-level score listed as "4.8(817)". Product-level snippets on the same pages show differing counts, including "5 reviews", "9 ratings", and "4.9 9 ratings", suggesting live product listings with mixed rating metrics.

That in-stock picture is complicated by a separate listing that shows the opposite. A Thocstock entry for GMK Sixes carries a clear banner: "Out of Stock! Sorry, according to our data fetching gerbils, this item is no longer in stock." The two catalogues therefore conflict, and neither Mekibo nor Thocstock provides a numeric inventory count in the excerpts reviewed, so the actual number of kits available cannot be verified from the listings alone.

Product metadata across the pages confirms GMK Sixes as a GMK-manufactured doubleshot ABS keycap kit. Thocstock identifies the designer as "Xynerorias / Emir (Kebab Man)" and states, "GMK Sixes is inspired by the original GMK Nines set, but with the colors reversed." Thocstock supplies kit-level breakdowns verbatim: "The base kit covers the most common basic layouts up to TKL and comes with scooped, and barred homing caps." Addons are described by name and function: "If you add the Calc Kit (numpad), you can build up to a full size layout," "The Smol Kit is an addon for the smaller 40% boards and (shudders) Alice boards," "The Makeup kit offers a little extra color variety," "The Space kit adds, you guessed it, extra spacebars," and the Lost Nines addon "Basically it provides 40% support, other unorthodox layouts or again (shudders) Alice support. You can also use it to bring some extra spice to GMK Sixes."

Buyer feedback on Mekibo’s product pages mixes praise and practical caveats. One repeated review line reads, "Beautiful keycaps fit nicely on BRG Kohaku! Glad to snag these from Mekibo!" Another longer review details confusion over imagery and missing accents: "As per title, I thought that the base kit came with accents however it did not. I guess I got a little confused by the pictures ... shipping is quite expensive for international customers and might deter me from such a small add on. ... shipping was very fast even internationally, and the set came undamaged." Shorter comments include "Just what I was looking for..." and "Great quality set, but beware that no accents come in the base kit." Mekibo’s review list also shows reviewer metadata fragments such as "Charles · January 18, 2024" and "Brian · July 30, 2024" alongside the quoted feedback.

Mekibo’s product copy repeats operational notes and buyer cautions: "Please read our REFUND POLICY before making a purchase," "Renders are for illustration purpose only. Final products may show differences," and "Keyboards are not included with the purchase of keycaps." The Mekibo proxies section advertises "Same day shipping if order before 2PM PT," but the supplied excerpts do not include a sale price for the displayed "20% off" promotion.

The bottom line is clear and immediate: two vendor listings show opposing availability for GMK Sixes, product metadata and kit descriptions are consistent, and Mekibo’s pages carry active ratings and customer testimonials. The conflicting in-stock and out-of-stock signals leave current availability unresolved until vendors provide inventory counts or clearer kit-specific statuses.
