About the Set:
We present to you GMK Tempest! This set was inspired by the tumultuous and ever-changing grays of a storm. Within the heart of a storm, there exists a vast array of shades, and we have selected specific tones to depict the journey into the heart of a tempest's fury.

About the Designers:
Asynq Designs is a team that consists of three people: Aiden, Synthereal, and Nqrwhql. We each spent the last year learning and designing up until this point to present this set to you.

GMK will not color match to Pantone Uncoated - https://ounku-my.sharepoint.de/personal/g_sebald_gmk-electronic-design_de/_layouts/15/onedrive.aspx?id=%2Fpersonal%2Fg%5Fsebald%5Fgmk%2Delectronic%2Ddesign%5Fde%2FDocuments%2FGuidelines%20%E2%80%93%20Custom%20Color%20Matching%5F01%2Epdf&parent=%2Fpersonal%2Fg%5Fsebald%5Fgmk%2Delectronic%2Ddesign%5Fde%2FDocuments&ga=1 - and even Pantone Coated books require special approval.

Edit: Looks like 284 and 540 are both available in chip form, though 284 is sold out at current https://www.pantone.com/products/plastics/pantone-plastic-standard-chips

No problem! Should just be a minor thing, I'm sure :)

GL with the IC and GB!

Thank you everyone for the kind words and the suggestions! We're actively working to find vendors and perfect the coloring.

As for novelties, we can't confirm anything but we're open to any suggestions/designs anyone might have. We're hoping to have a set GB date in the coming 2-3 months and have all our collaborations lined up by then.

Once again, thank you for the continuous support!

I'd buy a deskmat, maybe it's me not liking dark alpha light mod kits but the light blue accents seems out of place. Although pretty sure light blue legends would be too much as well.

I suggest not using Whimsey to render your set since A) it never ran, B) even within 40s it's a niche layout and C) you don't have any 40s support in your set.

Post by: mr_foggy on Wed, 01 May 2024, 16:03:08
spacebars are always alpha or accent colored. white (mod colored) bars are not the norm.

I'm OK with A) and B), but it's misleading for keyboard renders to include keycaps that won't be made.

Hey, I did that render, I'll be entirely honest, I forgot we weren't doing 40s support for this set since we did it for our last set. I'll put a disclaimer under that render and keep away from using layouts we don't support anymore. Thanks for letting me know guys.

Thanks! We'll kit one and see if our vendors/GMK are willing.

If you intend to keep UK in base, you're missing a R4 \| key that'd go next to ISO's shorter Left Shift. Please give us that instead of the <> key that doesn't belong in UK support. But if you're dropping UK support in favour of a NorDe kit then that's okay.

Thanks for letting us know! We're actively modifying the kits to give more support to different board variations. We're planning to split the base kit into base and numpad. In addition, we're planning on adding a intl kit.
