I'd like to preface this by saying I know next-to-nothing about mech keys nor design. These are more like ideas than helpful advice, probably.

Based on the renders and visuals in general, this feels more inspired by casino tables than playing cards. Which is completely alright if that's what you're going for, but I think being stuck in the middle kind of hurts the coherence of the theming. If it were inspired by playing cards, I'd expect more black-on-white and red-on-white caps, along with the actual suits somewhere (four suits on the four arrow keys maybe?). If it were inspired by casino tables, it could lean more heavily into that identity (dice pips somewhere? maybe white-on-green or yellow-on-green to match the deskmat, though I guess that wouldn't be great for contrast).

And maybe the text-based novelties could use more variation like "BLUFF" and "CALL" instead of just "DEALER" (again, if that's what you're going for).

Feel like card decks faces and colors offer so much room for a great colorway and this is just blinding color vomit. I like the idea of a card inspired set, but this ain't it.

My thoughts exactly. There are table games that don't involve cards (craps, roulette, etc.) and this set's colors and novelties speak more to table games at large than just card games.

I am very grateful for your feedback! About the design theme. I made a design about poker (specifically about this game), but I was wrong in choosing a name for this.
But now I'm thinking about expanding the design theme and using other card games in this.

First of all, your kitting. I might be blind, but I don't see a double B anywhere. Or 00. Or UKISO 23. Normalize putting these in the base kit please!

Novs are actually alright. It's pretty clear some thought went into them. I love the joker ones in particular. With that said...

This set is ugly. Straight up. I say that with tough love.

The thing I'm interested about, in this IC, is the deskmat. I love the idea, it's very creative. If you just ran the deskmat, or rethought the GMK set, I think you'd have a better time.

this is all green, bruh what kinda cards do you use?

i think the alphas should be white, keep the interesting card-game inspired colours to accents / novelties.

I like the idea, especially the deskmat, however the colors aint for me as they are not as pleasing to my eye. I would have liked more muted colors as I have not played on a desk this vibrant yet :D

I would also like to see the modifier "win" changed to "super" as this is more friendly for Unix users.
As for that I would also love to have a 1.5U "Super" and 1U "Alt" to support Mac bottom row.

Pleas offer a second B in base or in the spacebar kit.

The render does not show homing on the extra "F" and "J" key might add that.

I think that people are a little hung up on the name, which indicatively, I will agree, playing cards evoke a "White, Red and Black" standard colorway to most people.
(That said, I see that you've already said you had Poker in mind, so perhaps, "GMK Poker" or "GMK Casino"?)

I do think that the colorway for the alphas is a bit much, though, I can understand from the vision why you'd choose them.
Perhaps you might consider an earlier comment about white and black (or off-white and black) to represent dice?
Or you could do a Deskmat/Mods/Novelties release? Maybe even use the green as an alt-alphas kit? (In smaller production to limit on costs)

Just some food for thought!

As far as I can tell with most feeler IC, there are some kitting tweaks that could be done. (Namely support for the second "b" from my at-a-glance look)

The novelties are banger. I like them a lot. Like a LOT. They really bring home the casino vibe and I am HERE for it.

I'm interested in seeing where this one goes! Keep it up and GLWIC!

Personally I’d redesign the desk at so that the outlines match the size of cards. It doesn’t look large enough and too round right now.

I really like the idea, but the green is unfortunately too bright for my taste. The novelties are cool, though. So many cool things are possible with this theme (or a theme of card games in general). Good luck with the IC!

That's not what I meant. Of course it's not this one comment, but comments like this one, which are too common (even if it's just a few, it's too many imo). Honestly, I just wanted to speak up and say something, otherwise it would have looked like I was fine with it.

I do not want to derail this thread any further, so feel free to pm me if you want to discuss this further.

This is such a disappointing use of this theme, poker shouldn't be the name for this set as jokers and dice aren't used in any of the major variants of poker.

The green doesn't remind of the felt at all, and a lot of casinos and online rooms no longer have green felt as the default. Also not having white for most normal decks or if not wanting to do that using the typical colours on any 4 colour deck.
I will echo the sentiments of others surprised it got picked up in this state it needed some changes.
