I am planning to do other various small packages:

1x Blanks
6.25x/7x Space Bars:
An Eraser Pack, http://i.imgur.com/L7zpKWc.jpg, but with different legends
17 keys White on RGBY set

Greens: 2.75x, 2.25x, 1.75x, 1x Fn
Red: 2 - 1.5x, 2 - 1.25x, 1x Red Esc
Blue: 2 - 1.5x, 2 - 1.25x
Yellow: 2 - 1.25x, 2 - 1x

I wasn't aware of the poll, but a Purple set would be a definite buy for me.

YOLCH!!!!!



Thanks for bringing us new GMK goodies!
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Yolch came up in the Calm Depths GB as a possible color scheme. I like it but I vote SoWaRe or Purple and Pink.

Anything dolch + different legends is fine in my book. Purple would be nice, but it would be low contrast. Blue or yellow would look baller!

I like how you are thinking.  Something like a burgundy.  I was thinking this too for another set.  I think it was the RGB set.

Burgundy, Lime Green, and Sky Blue (the original Desko RGB blue).

Call it the Red Velvet set, I would buy that.

I would definitely buy some Purple on white alphas to match my mods. Ahhhh who am I kidding, I'm clearly going to be buying everything.

If MOQ is reached,

the price will be as follows most likely

$80 for an 87 keyset, $18 for winkeyless (includes 2 1x Window key (either blank or pad printed for windows), $19 for a 17 numberpad, and somewhere along $35-40 for an extension set. 

A set of 112 keys (87, 17 keypad, and winkeyless) will be around $105-115.

If you also let us know which key you liked best in the extension set, then it can be either cheaper than the $35-40 cost, but it will be more set.

There is a reason the prices have raised, and I will explain this more in the future.  Many things were factored in raising the cost including the price we get it at.  I will make a post about this soon in the future.

Handarbeit is pretty purple.  This purple will be darker than the existing purple mod set.
If anyone has an extra Purple mod set, CMYK, and an ESC pack, please sell it to me.  It will help us a lot!
I have a color ring I will show as well soon in case you guys may like the color.

I also wanted to mention we will be selling a bunch of different colored Esc keys, some blanks maybe if people are interested, and 6.25x/7x space bars in various colors.

One of the Esc keys is a Magenta on Cyan for that Miami look.  I think these colors will go good with each other.

I think of GMK sets as being "sophisticated" in terms of their color offerings so far.  Personally I'd stick with combinations that continue that trend rather than going with "gamer combos".  Some unusual / uncommon colors would be interesting.

Another unusual combination I've just thought of is pale cyan + burgundy or brown.

     
     


(even lighter cyan / turquoise than that)

Also another member helped me with an idea.

Black on Eraser color pink.  This pink is the one below the Magenta color.

http://i.imgur.com/L7zpKWc.jpg

There will be 2 Backspace keys and 2 Delete keys.  The Delete will be "Delete" and "X".  The backspace will be "Backspace" and another font.

It's a 4 key pack.

Ohhhh I spot teal on that ring...  I love teal.  I do also love that pink above.  An interesting faded pink.
Make a teal + pink set, and I will never give that one up!

The Dolch set is pretty close to this.  The modifiers are dark grey, but the alphas would need to be more graphite.  All it tastes is a set of Dolch + Alpha Graphite keys. 

Many people liked the raindrop as well.  All it tastes is the Classic Beige (blue font) + White on Blue Modifier keys.

The color is more like a sea foam greenish.  My girlfriend loves the color too haha.  The color is pretty neutral, but I am sure we can try to use it on some sets.

If majority of the sets are not liked.  What we can do is order Esc keys of combinations, and we will see which one looks the best.
