Would love the mountains desk mat without the details in the lower right 

That one is SLEEK!

a LOT of people have asked for it, so I might make it 2 options, one with the terminal and one without.

Would like to echo the sentiment but the variant with the details in the lower right looks great regardless. Imo there could be appeal outside the "arch theme" if the details were removed which could sell to a broader audience but either way the mat and the set are both really well done.

No ortho kit?

Assembly kit is happening, so there will be one

I am injecting my excitement for this kit. There have been a lot of ICs out there - and after looking at stuff for months this one really stands out. WTG mai dood. <3

also BUMP!

[Ram]

I have all the information needed for logo use on the GMK side - this won't be a problem to manufacture. Giving this set a huge thumbs up on my end 

To fit the theme you should make a keyboard that requires the firmware to be programmed before each use   

Ofc Ofc, also forgot to ask, I'm pretty sure the cuts in the arch logo would need to be removed(I swapped the arch logo from a simplified one to the real one a few days after sending the original kits for quotes) do you know yourself if they need to be or not? I'll dm you the svg if you need it.

Yeah, send me over the .svg and I can take a look at it for you

Completely Missed this, Sending it

Thanks!
(Also gonna put Small update #2500) No quotes from GMK as of yet, and until I get those I can't move forward with or finalize a lot of the kitting edits I want to do(also can't justify them if I don't know that they would be needed or not). So any major updates to the IC will be halted till then.

Is adding the couple of additional UK ISO caps to the base set out of the question?  The accents and the AUR kit are really nice.

Considering that I'm adding a NorDeUK kit it wouldn't really make sense to include those in base

Mechfashion sleeve samples just came in! The teal will need to be brighter, along with changes to the terminal legends for legibility, and size will probably be changed from 65 to TKL for sake of making it more universal but other than that I personally think they came out great!

[azzipa]

amazing vision and amazing work! i would grab a 65 sleeve but not a TKL in case that makes a difference to anyone.

Makes sense, I'll definitely need to find a middle ground that pleases everyone.

Are they going to be manufactured to order? If so, just offer both?
Also, love the set! Can't wait to see the assembly kit. Go SoCA!

nice, i get to larp as someone who knows how to code well lol

If you include an ENTER and ESC key in RAL210-70-35 keycap color with black legend symbols in the GUI kit, you will sell sooooo much with just two extra keycaps! Or maybe even just the ENTER key. I would literally buy double the number of complete sets. Please do it!

I'll see if there's more interest for that and make a decision based off of that.

When can we expect to see collab protos?

I don't have an estimate on any of the resin Artisans as of yet, but I expect the Asero Artisan proto to be done by Early April at the latest(I could end up being wrong though so don't take my word for it.

Nice set and great distro!

a LOT of people have asked for it, so I might make it 2 options, one with the terminal and one without.

Yeah, if that mountain is by itself, this is a full matching set autobuy for me. The case looks great with the terminal though.

Beautiful work.

Yeah after thinking it over it's definitely what I'm going to do.

Looks nice, but I would instantly cop it. Good luck and I wish you all the best for this set! 

[Engedi_]

Looking forward to this one! But shouldn't the accent colors be closer to blue rather than white? It still looks great though

I tried teal accents in the set but honestly the look of the set wasn't as great imo, so I decided to stick with white accents.

Mini Update Time:
Deskfetch Bandings gone and protos for both the deskfetch adn trimat are incoming!
I have about a whopping 11 collabs to announce that will be announced soon!
Kitting Updates + any changes I need to do the IC will happen next week if all things go well

[sub0001]

Really looking forward to this one. GB can't come soon enough!

[patcoll]

Excited about this one. The colors are great. Can’t wait!

[Trivent]

I like it, but it does remind me of GMK Norse

bump for update

Man, why did you have to add that GCC kit, that is such nice kitting, I am so impressed, it’ll be hard to pass up!

I love this set. I have GMK terminal, penumbra, solarized dark. I am in the GB for ePBT Be the one, and KAM super user. I am a big fan of sets that are inspired by IDE themes.

Is it possible to add 1u shift and 2u shift on the base set? I need it for my 60% with arrow cluster.

Hey prob not at this point because I'm pushing it alr price wise atm, I think while it isn't perfect you can use basically any key for the 1u shift, and for the 2u, the numpad 0 key

I have a couple of questions about the GCC kit.
1, Was there a reason a 3 bar was included but not a 2.75? 2.25 + 2.75 is a very common spacebar option for 40s.
2, Is the fact that the 2.25 and 3 spacebar are mod colored instead of alpha colored something you feel strongly about? If not I would like to suggest these be alpha colored instead.

The 3u is a typo, meant to be 2.75, and I'll be changing the bar colors as well for those too as well, thanks for the input!

This is so beautiful on first sight. I think you either love or hate the teal mod legends. For me I stared at the renders for a while then realized the set I actually want is GMK Apollo

I like this a lot! 
I assume row labels are messed up on GUI kit?
hjkl is row 3, and are the 1u GUI mods row 4?

Yea its a mistake on my end, I'll fix it tonight thanks!

Hi Ram, norwegian  . Can we have some of the R2 novelty 1u keys moved to R3 and R4 to cover the column of (end, pgdn, pgup, home, etc). You have 4 R2 1u novelty keys and I don't know which popular layout uses these (even full size and TKL use 3 R2 1u keys: delete, end and PgDn). I think changing key row won't affect the price, right? Since you don't add new keys nor modify their size.

I'll take a look and see since originally it was for boards that have an extra row above the numpad and just for the f-row(,  pricing wise it won't affect it yeah, just gotta see which ones would be best to move down and if other people want it moved down too or not
