[tomkatsuuu]

Inspiration
GMK Moon Rabbit is a set inspired by one of my favorite childhood candies, White Rabbit.


INTEREST CHECK FORM

Kits

**Note that alpha keys and (maybe) novelty designs will use UV printing for the second color.
For all alphas, the red-colored legends will be doubleshot, and the black-colored sublegends will be UV printed.
For the blue novelty caps, the white will be doubleshot, and the red will be UV printed.
For the yellow novelty caps, the blue will be doubleshot, and the red will be UV printed.**


Base Kit


Novelties



This is where I need your input!
I'm worried that UV print will add to the cost, so please let me know if you are interested in the
UV print or the non-UV print version in the IC form.
I will make my decision based on interest and quotes.
Click below for non-UV print version.

Reserved for updates.

This is pretty nostalgic for me too, good memories.
I think it does look better with the UV print but I don't think it loses much without it. If it's significantly more costly I'd go without. Good to see 40s support.

[Woovie]

I love the colors. Beautiful design, good kitting from my usage perspective. 

[twitchytheinsideman]

Oh man.

Either I saw a similar Chinese candy GMK IC in the past or I have dreamt about this!

White Rabbit good

[PancakeGoon]

Gorgeous execution - I LOVE those buttery-yellow accents (and the red Super's!) against the crisp white/red & bold royal blue mods, & icon legends are 100% the move. I love the horizontal graphics in the novs (always wish there were more novelty sets made with geometric shapes & iconographic styles like these, instead of phoning in silhouettes of anime characters and vague symbolism like... her big hat, or a sword hilt); makes them much more user-agnostic and visually complimentary to the keyboards themselves, imo. And the rest of the novelty designs are just super charming, so much character in those bunnies and the graphics are very tastefully done! Hard choice about UV-print or not; it does give them noticeable depth...

Really did it justice I think - I'm very interested in how this progresses into GB, and depending on price I think this could finally be the GMK set I'll be forced to wait for...

Also hell yeah, 4-key Base support & v4n4g0n render! Any plans for a larger 40s/Ortho child kit?

GLWIC Tom!

Please consider including edible paper wrappings like the real candy.

Would love the alpha in that royal blue as alt kit.

[Bub]

looks great TOM!

in for base and novs most likely

[IMZO]

White rabbit is very nostalgic for me too. I always enjoy these candies given by my grandma when i was a child . Def will be buying this

[bigoldbox]

This set is exactly what is was looking for. GLWIC

[mr_foggy]

very nice.

[marshmellohs]

  very nice. in for base and novs

[iinko_mk]

GLWIC BOIIIIIIII. AMAZING

[TyPo.mk]

Looks great, with GMK’s new machines and automatic sorter up and running they are hoping to clear the queue in the next 9 months, so this is timed well.

I would be interested in seeing how it looks with doubleshot subs rather than uv print. I know you’ll have to give up multicolor legends but the base will be cheaper and feel nicer. I do love the UV print novelties though and I think you should keep them, that kit doesn’t look like it will be very expensive.

[chutoroymoi]

I'm addicted to this candy. my tmj and I look forward to this set

[bshendy]

glwic,

set looks good granted i think it'll be a bit weird buying a set celebrating CNY, but could potentially end up delivering well into next year

How did I read everything but your first sentence lmao. I guess I was a bit eager and scrolled immediately down to the picture of the set. I stand corrected

I LOVE YOU TOM, GLWIC

[Zyrophr]

Looking good!

Wow, this is probably the most elegant comment I've ever read on Geekhack. Thanks for the support! Unfortunately, I do not have any plans for a larger 40s/Ortho child kid. I just don't feel confident in having additional kits.

Looks great, with GMK’s new machines and automatic sorter up and running they are hoping to clear the queue in the next 9 months, so this is timed well.

I do love the UV print novelties though and I think you should keep them, that kit doesn’t look like it will be very expensive.

This is something I'm strongly leaning towards. I think one of the main draws was the multicolor legends, so I would have to think of something else that would make it unique to compensate. Maybe mono-Cangjie, but I'm not opposed to keeping it as Latin legends and Cangjie sublegends. Just spit balling ideas.

Post holiday update on my side:

Vendors:
-A couple of vendors reached out to me! I'll be posting the full list of vendors once I reach out to a few more

Deskmats:
-Deskmat designs are in progress!

Plastic chip picture reference:
-I got my white balance card delivered during the holidays. I just need to find time to bother my sister to take pictures.

Artisan/Collabs:
-I have a list of people I'd love to work with. I'll be reaching out to them, but this will be a bit more sporadic update.

[NixieType]

Wow, is set is beautiful! Personally I prefer the UV printing and would rather have a Latin only option if you’re going to stick to only doubleshot. With that said, I think there are so many doubleshot only kits with GMK that UV printing for the third color is a breath of fresh air.

[tomkatsuuu]

Updated with the first deskmat design. Credits go to Ray for the amazing work. I'll figure out what to name the deskmat design soon.

Slight update:
Vendors:
-Currently waiting for a few more to be locked in

Deskmat Design 2:
-Currently in progress!

Plastic chip picture reference:
-My sister will have a small window of free time in the next couple of weeks, so I'll be bothering her when she's done. She has a better camera than I do :/

GLWIC Tom!
