What color codes were used?
All colours are custom? Even the "white"? Is that really necessary? Could using a stock colour lower the price? Am I asking too many questions?What color codes were used?
All RAL colors so GMK should be able to match easily :D

That said, I like the theme, the muted colours are interesting. Well done.

Can confirm, custom colors just raises the MOQ not the price. If you've got a single custom color there's no impact from more other than number of different colors total.
I like the colorway, I like the theme, I like that numpad is in the base kit. Be prepared for the "Atlantis ISO" guy to show up about how your ISO support is wrong for both US and UK ISO.

Would you mind posting the RAL color codes?
Was hoping for green accents when I saw inspiration picture, but there are none. Would prefer them over brown ones.

+1 for the set, would like to see a dark brown sloth face novelty to match the enter key and space bar!
YUUS! Sloth is one of my faves!!!
I 100% back this set. So I filled out the IC form.
I have never designed a keycap set... So not sure what my suggestion is worth here. lol
But I read a comment about green accents. That would be cool. But I was thinking maybe some green legends. Like even just maybe on the mods? I personally am not the biggest fan of the color green. But I do like a more pastel green. Just think maybe it would look cool with a more pastel green. With green legends on the mods and accents.
But either way. I dig it! And im in 100% till the end. Will purchase.
;D
looks way too much like ursa for me. i still like it but literally releasing an accent kit for ursa would give you this kit

agreed - theme aside these sets are extremely similar, and I think sloth is a green accent away from becoming ursa

I think that was a tongue in cheek because forge with alternate alphas was called a clone of Rudy.looks way too much like ursa for me. i still like it but literally releasing an accent kit for ursa would give you this kit

As cool as sloths are, I do feel like this should have been a novelties kit for GMK Ursa. That being said, you've told me before that you thought Ashes looked like an early concept of Burnt Orange "but if you just turn the colors off on that, shrug" I still feel like that was an insult to my set as it had nothing to do with your set. Rudy looks nothing like Forge, please stop doing that.
Walker has previously referred to Forge as a Rudy clone, and was especially aggravated when alternate alphas were added. DB was simply flipping that on its head. If anything, you've backed up DB here.looks way too much like ursa for me. i still like it but literally releasing an accent kit for ursa would give you this kit

Any word on updates? I know people have been comparing this to GMK Ursa, but I'd still pick this up. It would also be neat to see some artisans like a rama sloth
Happy to hear. I got a little worried since the IC got super quiet.Any word on updates? I know people have been comparing this to GMK Ursa, but I'd still pick this up. It would also be neat to see some artisans like a rama sloth
Thanks for the interest! It'll definitely be a while before this hits GB. We currently have a slot with a vendor but since there's been so many GMK sets, the slot is still a good ways away. Rest assured, slowly but surely this will happen. :)
I'll be "hanging around" for this :))
The slovelties are extremely cute, and have a great name too haha. I'm interested!
Do you have a signature we can put up to show some support in the forums too? That could help spread it around a bit too. :thumb:I'll be "hanging around" for this :))
haha! hang tight! Sorry it'll be a long wait but currently the larger US vendors just have a huge queue when it comes to GMK :(The slovelties are extremely cute, and have a great name too haha. I'm interested!
Thanks! Be sure to watch this thread. We'll come out with more stuff as it gets closer to GB. Be sure to let other people know too :)

Please, a render on any E-White 65% board (Koyu, Think6.5, etc.) please ;D Just bought the Milk M65-B and i need something to go with it... this might be it.
This is a pretty interesting set for sure! Can't say I'm in love with the theming, but I do really like the base colorway. I could see myself picking up a base set when this goes live! Also if you do go back & rework the colors at all I would suggest maybe going with a slightly darker, less brownish gray for the mods & alpha legends. I think it would look great with that adjustment personally, although it would take it away from the theming. Anyways GL with this project!
So any idea when this is going to make progress? This a really good set.

Yes, currently slotted for 2nd half of 2020. ;)
No Kristen Bell novelty?
=P
Hey everyone! I'm looking at the kits again for sloth and based on the feedback in the IC form, I'm considering cutting the 40s kit. I've added split spacebars to the spacebars kit and added the extra B to the base kit. Please let me know what you guys think! If you're a 40% user, please voice your opinions so I can know if there's enough demand for it. Thanks!
(Attachment Link)
Thanks for the feedback! I'll take out the 1.75u space. Since the Alice layout is getting more and more popular, is there are reason not to include the extra B key?
Base kit mostly looks good, but I'd replace the R3 #~, R4 \| ISO keys (partial and inconsistent ISO-UK coverage) with R3 \|, R4 <>, which are better for neutral ISO support (and also cover ISO-US fully).

I also suggest changing the stepped Caps↲Lock legend to just Caps, since otherwise it's the only two-line legend in the set.
I would move the extra B to the spacebars kit. The reason being that most people who want to outfit their ergo board with proper keys/legends are probably going to end up buying the spacebars kit anyway. So, to me at least, the extra B and 2u/2.25u/2.75u spacebars kind of naturally go together.
Speaking of the spacebars kit, feel free to remove the 1.75u space since only about three 40% designs out there use it in total (and one of them actually requires two 1.75u's, so a single key doesn't do much).

Came here to say this.
English (US), terminal style, seems to be the best all-around choice.
Colours are great! Good luck on this project :thumb:
Reminds me of Olive but friendlier more interesting tones.
I'm in for sure. Wallet screaming, but in.
Best set for what's left for the rest of this year as far as I can see.
If you'ree going to cut 40's, at least consider adding ortho support in base (4 keys) or adding ortho/staggered 40's support (6 keys).
Thanks DB!
Laziest RAMA sloth cap possible would be just a brass Esc
http://www.strawpoll.me/19724758
Please help me decide what colors I should use for the RAMA cap. Thanks everyone!
<quote snipped>The smiling sloth from the deskmat is already one of the novelties. There might be too many if it's an enter rama key as well. Personally I haven't talked to that many people who like those rama enter key so I don't really have plans to include one.
Ooh I like that!! The enter key can have the smiling sloth from the deskmat

I like the walking sloth more, yes the smiling sloth would be too many if use in rama key. The long(?) arms are also essential to me so if the rama key could be longer then that would be perfect. Btw would it be strange to use brown key with grey infill for the rama?
I really like the simplicity of this set! Any chance of UK modifiers for 2&3?

That would require `123 and the ISO keys to change correct?
Definitely brown & cream
I would be remiss not to mention in a thread of sloth afficionados my favorite children’s book about a piranha whose dream is to eat a sloth.

:thumb: for switching to Super.
How about Caps instead of Caps↲Lock for the stepped key? It would match Scroll and Num better.
No alpha-coloured spacebars in the 40s kit? I would personally rather have a separate accent spacebar kit.
I actually don't mind Caps Lock. Is there a set that has just Caps that you can show me? I'm sure there are but I can't think of one at the moment.
No alpha-coloured spacebars in the 40s kit? I would personally rather have a separate accent spacebar kit.
Are you saying there should be two spacebar kits? One alpha colored and one accent colored? I'm afraid it might be tougher to hit MOQ for both of them if I were to split them.

Looking at past sets, big portion of them had both colours of the bars in the 40s kit or in the spacebar kit. For example, people who want accent spacebars for Alice-like boards have to buy both kits anyway.
With 40s kit sales being around 10% of the base most of the time, I would say that it's save to assume, that it would hit moq with both colours included.
As for the separate accent spacebar kit, I guess Naut 2's spacebar kits has been stuck in mind for a while, sorry.
If your looking for a Canadian proxy (I hope you get one). Seems like most people are going with Deskhero.ca
another artisan would be nice! otherwise loving the set!
waiting for gb
congrats on this set.. really beautiful..
from a design standpoint, I'd personally love to see the font color on the alphas being black (or at least darker than they are now..)
it gives the set a bit more "pop" and looks a bit less washed out..
otherwise really love it and am def. in for base+novelties

Thank you for the feedback! I think changing the font color to black would break the muted feel that I'm going for. There are sets that have done that and it really destroyed the set in my eyes.
Man I'm so tired of GMK kitting. As an ortho user I have to pay more for less keys in the end.
I really love this set, just wish it could've run in KAT or somewhere where I didn't have to buy 150 keys to only use 47 of them.
I don't mean to disrespect the designer, the compatability of this set is amazing and very well thought out.
I love sloths, I love this set.

Please, a render on any E-White 65% board (Koyu, Think6.5, etc.) please ;D Just bought the Milk M65-B and i need something to go with it... this might be it.
I'll make that request and see if my guy has time to do a render for that, thanks :)This is a pretty interesting set for sure! Can't say I'm in love with the theming, but I do really like the base colorway. I could see myself picking up a base set when this goes live! Also if you do go back & rework the colors at all I would suggest maybe going with a slightly darker, less brownish gray for the mods & alpha legends. I think it would look great with that adjustment personally, although it would take it away from the theming. Anyways GL with this project!
When looking at the mod color in the RAL book, it's actually quite dark. The brownish gray is sort of intended due to the theme. I tried changing it to a little greenish but the slight hint of brown looked better. TBH, the brown is more noticeable in the renders compared to the actual RAL book. I'll take some pictures later to show what it looks like.

Thank you for sharing a picture of the RAL color cards in the OP. Could you please share the RAL codes? Thanks!
Any chance for 1.25u space in the spacebars kit? Maybe instead of the second 1u (not sure how useful 2× 1u is outside of 40s).
Unfortunately we've already gone through and requested quotes so I think we're pretty set on kits already.
This set is really growing on me.. any chance you could do a render on a moss-colored zenith?
I saw space cables is doing the cable colab. Is there any chance the aviator will have some sort of sloth design on it like the current hammerhead does? Would be an instant buy if so!

Alright, sounds good! Before I message him, can I get your permission to use one of the novelty designs for it if he agrees?I saw space cables is doing the cable colab. Is there any chance the aviator will have some sort of sloth design on it like the current hammerhead does? Would be an instant buy if so!
I actually asked him to make it without anything on it in case people wanted to use it with other sets as well. He seems to be pretty responsive so you could ask him to add that if you get a chance to grab one. :D
this looks cooool can't wait for the GB if I can get them it will be my first gmk caps :thumb: that will be amazing :blank:
Love the deskmat and rama and space cables (omg and that pin :3)
But I would feel kinda dumb rocking a deskmat without the matching keycaps so I guess I have to pick up that Lazy AF and Slovelties as well.
What case are you guys planning to pair with the GMK Sloths? I am currently eyeing a Tofu65 in Chocolate.
