GMK CYL Hi! Viz R2 restock brings neon-yellow novelties and relegendables

NovelKeys has listed GMK CYL Hi! Viz R2 as a second production run and the site's timeline shows Current Status: Order placed with an Estimated Arrival of Q2 2026. NovelKeys frames the comeback bluntly: "Hi! Viz returns for a second production run after a breakout first round, bringing back the unmistakable neon yellow that turned heads and sparked compliments everywhere it showed up."

The R2 announcement expands the original offering rather than replacing it. NovelKeys notes, "Alongside the original Base kit, this run adds novelties and relegendables as an Extras kit, plus matching neon linear switches for a fully color-matched setup." Oblotzky Industries' product copy amplifies that breadth, writing, "You can't improve on perfection, but you can run it again. The most eye-scorching set of keycaps is back, this time with 2 new kits!" Oblotzky also specifies that "The extras kits contains a range of shift-key novelties and a baker's dozen of relegendables, and the international kit brings support for NorDeUK."

Technical details are consistent across listings. Oblotzky publishes the GMK CYL Hi! Viz R2 specifications block: "Made in Germany by GMK electronic design GmbH; Cherry profile (1-1-2-3-4-4); Compatible with MX style switches; 1.5mm thick double-shot ABS plastic (UV printed Novelties in Base and Extension Kit); Designed by maxvoltar." Both pages reference GMK’s modern Neue legends, and Oblotzky clarifies that the novelties in the Base and Extension kits are UV printed.

Beyond keycaps, NovelKeys highlights extras that collectors notice: "The uniquely shaped deskmat returns, together with a precision-machined aluminum Salvun artisan made in Belgium." NovelKeys also calls out the matching neon linear switches as part of the color-matching package, though the listing does not specify whether switches or the Salvun artisan are sold bundled or separately.

Availability will be regional. Oblotzky lists regional vendors as US - NovelKeys; UK - Prototypist; KR - GeonWorks; SEA - iLumKB; CN - KBDFans; CA - DeskHero, and notes a sale price shown on its page as "Sale price €113,45." NovelKeys' page repeats "Sign up for restock notifications!" and includes a page-level accessibility contact at support@novelkeys.com as well as a shipping threshold banner reading "FREE SHIPPING ON IN-STOCK ITEMS: DOMESTIC ORDERS OVER $99 | INTERNATIONAL ORDERS OVER $199." Oblotzky adds a buyer warning: "Warning to US customers! Expect tariffs / duties to be collected by DHL!" and cautions that images are 3D renders and final colors may differ.

The run was posted to vendor pages on February 27, 2026 and now shows production ordered; with GMK's order placed and an Estimated Arrival of Q2 2026, the window for fulfillment and regional distribution is set. NovelKeys and the listed regional vendors remain the points of sale to confirm final kit pricing, exact part counts for the Extras kit, and whether the Salvun artisan or neon switches will be bundled or sold separately before stock ships in the Q2 2026 timeframe.
