Does anyone know of reputable sellers aside from drop.com?

There's a set I've had my eye on (here), but not sure if I'm actually getting authentic GMK

Vala is legit, I've bought several times from them.

What country/region are you in?

In the North America, I'd recommend Novelkeys, Omnitype, Mekibo, Cannonkeys and spacecables (spaceholdings) for GMK sets

A better approach is to keep your eyes out on Geekhack. The majority of keyboards and keycaps go through an interest check there, and then the designer announces all regional vendors/prices prior to a groupbuy.

Got it, thank you. Yeah I am in NA so those are helpful.
