Based on the renders and visuals in general, this feels more inspired by casino tables than playing cards. Which is completely alright if that's what you're going for, but I think being stuck in the middle kind of hurts the coherence of the theming. If it were inspired by playing cards, I'd expect more black-on-white and red-on-white caps, along with the actual suits somewhere (four suits on the four arrow keys maybe?). If it were inspired by casino tables, it could lean more heavily into that identity (dice pips somewhere? maybe white-on-green or yellow-on-green to match the deskmat, though I guess that wouldn't be great for contrast).
And maybe the text-based novelties could use more variation like "BLUFF" and "CALL" instead of just "DEALER" (again, if that's what you're going for).

I'd like to preface this by saying I know next-to-nothing about mech keys nor design. These are more like ideas than helpful advice, probably.

My thoughts exactly. There are table games that don't involve cards (craps, roulette, etc.) and this set's colors and novelties speak more to table games at large than just card games.

I'd like to preface this by saying I know next-to-nothing about mech keys nor design. These are more like ideas than helpful advice, probably.I am very grateful for your feedback! About the design theme. I made a design about poker (specifically about this game), but I was wrong in choosing a name for this.

But now I'm thinking about expanding the design theme and using other card games in this.

Novs are actually alright. It's pretty clear some thought went into them. I love the joker ones in particular. With that said...
This set is ugly. Straight up. I say that with tough love.
The thing I'm interested about, in this IC, is the deskmat. I love the idea, it's very creative. If you just ran the deskmat, or rethought the GMK set, I think you'd have a better time.

i think the alphas should be white, keep the interesting card-game inspired colours to accents / novelties.
Post by: Tom Sparrow on Tue, 02 March 2021, 03:07:22
I would also like to see the modifier "win" changed to "super" as this is more friendly for Unix users.
As for that I would also love to have a 1.5U "Super" and 1U "Alt" to support Mac bottom row.
Pleas offer a second B in base or in the spacebar kit.
The render does not show homing on the extra "F" and "J" key might add that.

Not a huge fan of GMK, but the base kit colors are excellent. Tip: make an actual link for the IC form, can’t click it on mobileThank you!
GLWIC!!

(That said, I see that you've already said you had Poker in mind, so perhaps, "GMK Poker" or "GMK Casino"?)
I do think that the colorway for the alphas is a bit much, though, I can understand from the vision why you'd choose them.
Perhaps you might consider an earlier comment about white and black (or off-white and black) to represent dice?
Or you could do a Deskmat/Mods/Novelties release? Maybe even use the green as an alt-alphas kit? (In smaller production to limit on costs)
Just some food for thought!
As far as I can tell with most feeler IC, there are some kitting tweaks that could be done. (Namely support for the second "b" from my at-a-glance look)
The novelties are banger. I like them a lot. Like a LOT. They really bring home the casino vibe and I am HERE for it.
I'm interested in seeing where this one goes! Keep it up and GLWIC!

I think that people are a little hung up on the name, which indicatively, I will agree, playing cards evoke a "White, Red and Black" standard colorway to most people.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I`m working to improve this design :)

Personally I’d redesign the desk at so that the outlines match the size of cards. It doesn’t look large enough and too round right now.
Thank you for you recall, I'll take that into consideration.

This kind of mean-spirited comment is why Geekhack has a bad rep, tbh. Just entirely unnecessary and not constructive in the slightest.
Post by: dimo on Fri, 26 March 2021, 03:17:19
I really like the idea, but the green is unfortunately too bright for my taste. The novelties are cool, though. So many cool things are possible with this theme (or a theme of card games in general). Good luck with the IC!1 comment is suddenly representative of an entire site. relaxpoker yeah more like poke my eyeballs out

1 comment is suddenly representative of an entire site. relax
That's not what I meant. Of course it's not this one comment, but comments like this one, which are too common (even if it's just a few, it's too many imo). Honestly, I just wanted to speak up and say something, otherwise it would have looked like I was fine with it.
I do not want to derail this thread any further, so feel free to pm me if you want to discuss this further.

The green doesn't remind of the felt at all, and a lot of casinos and online rooms no longer have green felt as the default. Also not having white for most normal decks or if not wanting to do that using the typical colours on any 4 colour deck.
I will echo the sentiments of others surprised it got picked up in this state it needed some changes.

This is such a disappointing use of this theme, poker shouldn't be the name for this set as jokers and dice aren't used in any of the major variants of poker.
The green doesn't remind of the felt at all, and a lot of casinos and online rooms no longer have green felt as the default. Also not having white for most normal decks or if not wanting to do that using the typical colours on any 4 colour deck.

You haven't played 7 card stud with my friends and I where sevens, jokers, suicide kings, one eyed jacks and bedpost queens are wild

Jesus christ, how tf does a vendor like Kono take something like this to run? There's a 1% chance this set hits MOQ, I wish people would just stop posting ****, first GMK Matcha Mocha, then GMK Iconographic, now this... When will people and vendors learn to say no to garbage.Kono picked up gmk twilight as well.. 150 usd base kit xd

Just in case you didn't hear the news. This set has been cancelled. I'm sure this was a big shock to everyone on here. Such a great looking set with nothing wrong with the kitting. Running on the best vendor out there too, with the best prices.
:(
