[IC] GMK Mojave
falloutnerd2077:
Hello!
Does patrolling the Mojave make you wish for a nuclear winter? (I got it right this time, unlike my goofy reddit post's title)
Small Edit: I've been absorbing all kinds of comments and suggestions. Keep 'em coming! I appreciate all of the feedback!
I want to start with a couple disclaimers:
* If this is a direct copy, or close enough, to another set, please let me know. I absolutely do not want to steal someone else's work, and didn't mean to in any way if I did! I simply had this idea after seeing that the new keycap renders site was up and experimented with themes I thought may look good.
* This will, if it gets that far, be my first group buy run. Please bear with me as I get acclimated to the inner workings of this all, and if you have any pointers or criticisms, do not hesitate to note them. I want to make this as smooth as possible so everyone is perfectly satisfied. I will absolutely be giving regular updates, and offer full transparency.
* I also am entirely not used to GH's formatting system, so please forgive any mistakes in the post, I'll fix any errors I notice.
I can not figure out for the life of me how to get images to embed in the post, please use the following link to see the pictures - https://imgur.com/a/U1OADcl. If you can help me get image embedding working, please do let me know. Thanks Oblotzky!
Now for the juicy bits -
I'm u/vaultwanderer94 from reddit, and I made a post a couple days ago here - https://reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/bidyv6/gmk_patrolling_the_mojave_make_wish_for_a_nuclear/, and due to the small, but positive, response I figured why not move to IC and see if it's worth looking deeper into actually making this set a reality. This set is based on the NCR flag from the Fallout series, as well as New Vegas itself.
The set has already gone through multiple different iterations since that post. For one thing, the horrible green legends are a thing of the past(thanks for the quick suggestion u/qurao), they are now light and dark grays to contrast the tan and brown colors, and the accents have been changed to an amber color. The accent color change is certainly up for debate though, I want community feedback there.
Since this is just an IC, and the absolute baby stages of this project(that started out as far from serious), I'm supplying basic renders I made through keycaprenders.com. If possible, I will update these with much nicer ones. The colors will all be custom Pantone based colors, besides GMK's CR for the accent legends. Due to custom colors, GMK will ask an MOQ of 250, here's to hoping that can be reached if this goes to buy!
Currently, there are no separated compatibility kits. I've simply included barebones compatibility for ANSI/ISO, 40%, WKL, split backspace, and 65% in the base kit(151 keys total). Currently no ortho support, but if there's enough demand I can look into it, and certainly let me know if there are any keys that may need to be added. I will mock up new versions of the kit(s) if there end up being more than one, but I'd like to keep this a simple buy, the base kit only. I am open to adding in a couple odd sized space bars if need be as well.
The current novelty ideas are -
* The two headed bear from the NCR flag
* A ammo swap hotkey, intended to replace the number row "2", as that's a hard-coded hotkey in F:NV
* A poker chip, a mainstay of the New Vegas theme(currently intended for the F5 key, the in game quick save key)
* The in game cursor shape for the arrow keys
* The caps lock key will say "Walk" instead, as caps lock toggles the "walk/run" feature in game
* Tab now says Pip-Boy, as tab brings the pip-boy up in gameThese will probably be the only novelties, and I may remove one or two in the interest of cost savings, if that makes a noticeable difference.
Due to the vaults not being related to the NCR at all, I have left out any vault related novelties. This will most likely not be changed, as I feel there are enough(or too many) novelties already in the kit.
I would absolutely love some help with these. I'm not entirely positive how to make them properly, so the shown novelties are mock-ups only!
Renders - None of these renders will have the correct legends or show the keycaps that will be available. The only place where the legends and keycaps will be correct is the KLE based photo(the first shown image).
This one is the amber accents, added on after being given the idea by u/chekonjak on the reddit post. The amber is based on the New Vegas's default HUD color. This is the one I am leaning towards for the accent colors, I think the amber suits the other colors much better. I also feel like it may need to be a little bit darker?
This one is the red accents. This version most accurately represents the NCR flag I based this set off of.
The following are just renders of each.

Oblotzky, do I not include the https://? That is currently how they're set up
Got it, thank you!

you can include it but you can't use IMG tags on an album. You have to use the direct image links (they end in .jpg, .png, etc). Open the album and right click > copy image address then put that link between the IMG tags.
