[IC] GMK Café (Group Buy Starts on October 1st!)

[p_blaze]

now you don't need to worry about spilling coffee on your keyboard because no one will know the difference

[hineybush]

v similar to a lot of sets

not a bad thing, but yea

consider using GMK colors for the alphas and mods bases as theyre super close to existing ones. less issues there with matching

[Langelandia]

Nice.
Have you considerd to change the modifiers color to more brown?

Hey there - this is actually something I’ve gotten a lot with the feedback from this set. Working through the colors, I was very cognizant of staying brown that doesn’t really look very brown...if that makes sense. I was worried the set would come out as coffee house or chocolatier so there was a lot of effort put into getting very close to a specific tone of coffee. Specifically the coffee in my French press =)

[ian13]

Is it possible to add R3 and R4 PgUp and PgDn, respectively?

[BrainBunker]

I've been waiting for a nice coffee themed set, so I'm definitely interested. I do think I would almost need to put this on a black board to show that it's actually brown, however. I get why you may want to make it different from some of the other previous coffee sets, but it may just be a wee bit too dark. This is of course only an opinion.

[Morgan3Wheeler]

Awesome!!
In!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ashardalon]

Slut for covfefe, slut for this set.

omg I love you

Love you too bb

[Langelandia]

Definitely something that’s possible. If it’s something we see being requested relatively frequently, it’s only a few keys and should be pretty easy to do.

[Xynerorias]

Maybe have the mods colors a bit more brown?

But other than that, big oof, really digging.

[tentboy]

love coffee, excellent colorway, I don't need any more keycaps though...conflicted.  but probably in

[fleeceman]

There seems to be a |\ 1u R4 black key in one of the renders but I can't see it in the black set?

[neutralstate]

gonna jump on the lighter brown for mods bandwagon

not a light brown for sure, but just something lighter or.... browner.

Definitely considered using stock colors for the mods to avoid potential matching issues; however, they weren't close enough to what I was hoping to achieve. Risky to match, I know, but I think the end result will be worth it.

Thanks for checking out the set!

[audiosl4ve]

we need this Covfefe set 

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

I'd prefer more brown on the mods, as I think we're about to play the same game GMK Phantom did with purple. I'd probably like the color on the enter key to be the alphas. But if I made the set, it would probably be GMK Chocolatier mods and Zambumon's GMK tactical set alphas...and I can do that on my own anyways. Shoot your shot.

[Langelandia]

Great catch - I will need to update this. The render is not correct. Currently proposed kits would only support full ISO with the white alphas. I wanted to have a board show the dark alphas kit as well as ISO - I shouldn't have combined the two.

GMK Phantom has no problems IRL which is what most people care about anyways.

Ehh, I own phantom, yes it does.

[Rensuya]

I'm a big fan of coffee, this as well! Very much looking forward to updates

I have removed the current Jane render since it showed this incorrectly and will have it updated.

Also own phantom, it doesn't look like the renders. I like it anyways.

That's a shame as I would have loved to be able to use the black kit with ISO too! Definitely in for a base kit and Sugar anyway.

If the dark alphas support for ISO is requested enough and/or doesn't affect the kit's price, I'd love to have it included for my ISO brothers and sisters that want the dark version =) - stay tuned and thanks for the support!

[lakeboredom]

This is nice, but all I can see is Monochrome in the renders. Is it possible to adjust the brown in the renders to look more like the ral color swatch?

[Juanca.phi]

Beautiful, backing this up 100%

Love your sets - glad you like it!!

I know it can be very difficult to tell the actual color of the brown in the render. I will have a second round of renders so we'll see what we can do to show it off better. Thanks for checking it out and the feedback!

[sK0pe]

This is a must buy for me but maybe double the number of icons so 1U 2x beans, 1U 2x cups or whatever you feel like for row 4.

Will get this set maybe the brown alphas too.

[eskimojo]

...maybe double the number of icons so 1U 2x beans, 1U 2x cups or whatever you feel like for row 4.

Seconding this, opportunity for symmetry would be nice.

This is definitely something that's under consideration. We hope to maybe make it a reality for those interested. Stay tuned =)

[krey]

Please give me a deskmat with a mug ring stain on it.

Maybe, maybe not =)

[courtcodes]

Innnnnn for this one.

It's gonna be an expensive summer

[jariss]

Calling it now: This is going to be keyset of the year.
The colors blend so well on this. The accent brown is very relaxing and good job with the whole theme! A deskpad of the box art would be awesome too.
 

[lolafineday]

Consider the 1/60 in your next round of renders I just love that board.

I wouldn’t worry about funds for this being affected by the other wonderful keysets in summer runs =)

We’ve been toying with the idea of some deskpads. Nothing final yet, still working through all that. But, it’s very possible!

Very cool board, indeed! I’ll keep it in mind for sure! Thanks for checking out the set!!

[Gabbzan]

might have to get this to match the coffe beans i use as a background

It wouldn’t be a bad match!

[Acereconkeys]

Love love love this. I'm a huge coffee fan it's probably my favorite part of the day. I have a few points of feedback.

I'd much prefer if this set used icon+text mods (like og cherry). I think it'd fit great with the soft spoken and subdued themes of the key set.

Also, is there any chance you could add a 1.25u r3 tab key? This expands the base kit to fit a majority of 40% keyboards (at least with respect to size/profile). I'd be happy if this legend was enter, tab, ctrl, or really anything honestly.

Potential keys to remove to accommodate this: r1 pg dn, r1 end, mod colored ` key, or r4 1u ctrl/tab (forcing people with tada/60 with arrows to use novelties instead).

[noahf]

would probably never look right, but it would be cool if deskpad looked like a good old brown bag of coffee. i doubt it would like right printed, but would be very fitting.

[eskimojo]

Totally understand the wish for more compat, but I don't think it makes sense to do so while asking for removal of other compat.

• R1 Page Down/End - used in 1800/compact 1800
• Mod Coloured ` - pure aesthetic, but a very popular key
• R4 1u Ctrl - used in 60 with arrows or 65%, as noted, but also some boards from sizes 75% to 1800 afaik

Ahh I didn't know r1 pg dn was used for 1800 layouts that makes a lot of sense.

The other two I think are still worthy trade-offs though as both 60 with arrows and 65% can choose to use the extra 1u keys that are provided even though the legends are not perfect.

Also, we could just add 1 more key It's not a huge ask.

Yea, I'm totally in favour of adding the key - just arguing to keep the keys I'd use too

Great idea, and I love sets with brown, but I agree with those who say this set has too stark of a contrast to look coffee-themed, and also on the generic side.  The dark brown modifiers against those alpha caps will look black in most lighting conditions, unless there’s bright light over the keyboard.  Cappuccino foam color for alphas and a tad lighter mod color (for beans), and maybe some red-brown accents for cinnamon (I don’t do that to my coffee, but it’s a topping option).

[juliandoucette]

I'm in for dark coffee.

[skiyoshii]

Never been a fan of brown in general, but I really like coffee!

I really wish OP would recognize this issue. This set is going to look like b&w under most lighting conditions, which is a shame, since a few shades lighter would really make for a nice brown color set.
