ABOUT
Hello geekhack! I proudly present you with my first set, GMK Psychosis.
This set is inspired by psychosis which is a condition of mental illness. Psychosis is a condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not real. Therefore, I choose GMK CC and GMK CP for the theme colour instead of the absolute contrasting colours (which are black and white).
The meaning behind this set is to raise the awareness of psychosis. We should know more about what psychosis is and be more considerable. It would be great if people showed love and respect to people with mental illness and everyone we know. People raise awareness of mental illness through music, drawings and many other art-related products so why not keycaps? Our community has grown so much and I think it's a good opportunity for spreading the meaning behind it. Plus, I will donate some of the profit to the mental health charity. The details of the donation will be updated asap.

CHOICE OF COLOUR
Since some of you from the community told me that GMK Psychosis is quite similar to GMK Sixes mixed with GMK Nines, GMK Ashes, GMK Carbon, and Boneyard. I had communicated with t0mb3ry, Xynerorias, Tyson and Emir and made sure no hard feelings or conflict of interest! I hope there is no controversy for this set in the future^^

Posted that before pictures where correctly loaded. Punchline was there are too many GMK sets that I don't care about them anymore, nevertheless now that I see your novelties I think they look nice.

Your CP color looks like grey on renders, might be misleading to some people.

[Litch0617]

As a person who is studying psychology and is very concerned about human physical and mental health, this topic really attracts me so much...
You have explained why gmk CC and GMK CP are choosed, I think they are very appropriate. I am not very good at design.In my humble opinion,the design of the novelty keycaps has some homogeneity .if it's possible,try to add a few R2 novelty keycaps, eg:the backspace can be designed as "Psychosis" in special typeface.maybe handwritten font?another novelty keycaps can be designed according to some pills such as Chlorpromazine，Haloperidol etc.Even elements of Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing or Sigismund Freud could be considered.Delusional elements could be added more？
Could separate the numpad into another kit?
hope u will understand my idea...my english is so poor...
anyway,it's nice work. Just take my money!

[nvh2092]

Your basic ISO support also needs a R3 1u pipe key. Also F13 should be in mod color due to color sequence afyer F12. Please also change the mod color spacebar in base to alpha.

[huey]

mod spacebar makes me psychotic

[Volny]

The color scheme seems decidedly unpsychotic to me. Quite the contrary. It's sensible, restrained, deliberate, and a bit boring. If anything, almost too sane for its own good. Just my two cents.

[fifty4hun]

Your CP color looks like grey on renders, might be misleading to some people.

Thanks for reminding me! I have updated!

[LittleAad]

Your cap renders look like they are in OEM not cherry, and they look very boxy. Maybe thats just me.
I think you can drop offcenter space from spacebar kit too, not enough use cases for it to be included imo. Please consider alpha colored spacebar in base instead of mod colored and consider b in base as well.

Novelties are nice, glwic 

edit: increase the sizes of your labels, pretty much impossible to see. Also, your R2 in the base kit render isnt labeled.

When they put mod spacebars in the base kit, and no option for alpha colored (6.25 & 7) spacebars in the spacebars kit, but hey, you get another mod-colored 6.25 and 7u spacebars in the spacebars kit.

[ndimare]

This is giving me extremely strong ashes vibes... which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it is quite close.

[Rumblethumps]

Man, I love the theme and inspiration, but it all looks sort of basic. I can see how a gray color palette fits the gloomy subject matter, but with so many other gray sets out there, this one doesn't really stand out much on its own.

But I always hope to see sets with darker inspirations go far, and I love the novelties. Best of luck with IC!

As someone who's dealing with severe mental issues, I think this set is both triggering and a bad idea in general.

As someone who has been suffered from depressive order for years and takes medicine everyday which makes me feel like experiencing amnesia
I did not feel offended at all but I am not a psychosis so I will not comment on the novelties

Here's the proof that I am suffered from mental issues for years:)

I had this so much on citalopram, damn. Hope you're okay <3

Edit: what triggers me about this set are the novelties, because I have a long history of self-harm.

Nice to see you reached out to the other designers regarding any potential clashes. It'd be worth speaking to Tyson behind GMK Ashes as this is closer to that set than anything else.

Nice to see the Santa Cruz Skateboards logo pop up in the novelties too...not sure if you'd get away with that one.

[HamKenobi]

Nice IC but it looks basically like GMK Ashes.

IMO - if your product is latching onto a social issue that you're looking to raise awareness of, you should be ensuring that some (if not all) of the financial gain from that product is actually benefiting that cause. Do you have any intention of donating funds from this group buy in support of raising mental health awareness?

GMK CP is the white of GMK Olivia. Did you mean CB?

I echo the comments on the Santa Cruz screaming hand novelty, I have included the novelty and the logo atop each other for ease of comparison. I also want to ask what happened to the 1.5u version of the novelty shown below compared to the 1.25u version of the same novelty.

Thank you for your opinion! I just contacted Tyson and waiting for his reply:)
and I'm sorry about that logo cuz I am not familiarised with the skateboard thing and did not check it carefully. I will make changes for it.

Best way to prove that something isn't a rip off is to show other commercial uses that it also could be ripping off? Interesting.

If it was a direct trace/rip, sure. It's not even close to being a direct copy. Don't be dumdum.
