[Oblotzky]

Will this be delayed time and time again just like its inspiration is?

[of_sam]

Sorta lit

[Tyson]

The set looks like it's GMK, but you put PBT plastic for the material. Is this an error?

You fixed it. GLWIC, the set looks dope as always!

[Afresh]

Will mats have that glowy effect to them?
I dig that

[darthcapn]

I'd love to see full colored accent kit peices like the metropolis.

[Ireojimayo]

Dual Base kits 

Looks so good, glad to finally see this reach IC.

[Alejo1707]

A lot going on in this set, I kinda like it.

WOW, this looks awesome! You need to stop making so many great sets!

[fakedSkill]

Definitely interested! Wow 😍

[Zaprey]

AMAZING!!

[martensson]

Really cool theme! Akira inspired? Maybe not something I would put on my office desk, but I am sure a lot of gamers/weebs will enjoy this a lot!

[konstantin]

So nice to see a set with generic icon legends for all of the contentious keys. Also, the cyberpunky aesthetic looks pretty slick, it's giving me Blade Runner 2049 vibes. All in all,



My only request would be to make the R4 ISO alpha keys <> instead of \|, \|ヘ¥, in order to avoid duplicate keys, like you did in GMK Honor



Looks great otherwise.

[biip]

Really cool theme! Akira inspired? Maybe not something I would put on my office desk, but I am sure a lot of gamers/weebs will enjoy this a lot!

Yes!
The set is heavily inspired by the cyberpunk genre, HUD/GUIs & 80s aesthetics, so it can make you think of many references!
Akira is definitely one of them.

[Fredington]

Would prefer some less busy modifiers to pair with the Latin-only alphas but will probably pick it up anyway 

[kapowaz]

Just gorgeous.

[treeleaf64]

What on earth is this

[edasaur]

Wow that's the brightest set I have ever seen

[Araset]

Been waiting for this! Now I can't really tell, is the caps color black or really really dark blue?

Edit: seeing it now on a better screen I can tell that it is actually very dark blue

[ThatsMav]

Looks great, cant wait for the group buy!

[Lufenia]

Insane set!  Will having customized arrow keys fit better with the overall theme of the set?

[Coneree]

Yesssss been waiting for this. Looks great!

[xarly06]

I prefer normal mods and these keycaps for novelties, but is insane anyway

[keyboardcircle]

Quot from GMK: "$300 per base kit"

[LightningXI]

what's gmk parcel though

[Kokaloo]

metropolis 2: electric boogaloo

[Sigil]

Looks cool! Also, glad to see you tweaked the Katakana font sometime between the GMK Honor IC and now, they look better.

[Corb]

Very interested!

[..//dexx]

Yes Biip.

Cool, it was my first immediate thought just looking at the keyset logo! Being a 80s cyberpunk/retrowave fan I will strongly consider it. Already joined Honor which I really like, so good job with the designs!

[zekth]

I'm in. Also really like the dual basekit for latin and weeb alpha. Really nice move

[EnjoyMyInSec]

As usual, insane... 

[chriszhu]

Nice

[Kokaloo]

What's the point of having a blurb entirely for telling us that the colors you'll be matching to won't be revealed? Unless they will be later on? I get it's for protection of the designers when color matching, but seeing a sample keycap on top of a chip when in that phase puts a lot of ease on me, and hopefully others. Forcing customers to rely on the colors matching the renders (which, according to designers, can vary because of monitors) doesn't seem like an honest and transparent way to go about it.

He can still reveal the colors when the GB has launched if he wishes to do so. Giving out that information months ahead of the GB only serves competition that seeks to copy designs.

I wouldn't be so optimistic for fake set manus to be meticulous about matching colors precisely to the pantones/rals provided. There's enough science in color matching to get sets to where they are advertised to be, but being in the dark about what to expect other than what my uncalibrated monitor can tell me doesn't instill trust, especially when there's a blurb telling me "nah brah no reference colors 'ere".

[krzank]

Pretty awesome but not enough of ISO support.
1. Can you add please at least either R3:Tilde/GraveAccent or R4:Tilde/GraveAccent?
2. Or maybe a NorDeUK kit?
One of the above will certainly make me to buy set or two.

[Chromavoid]

I’m in. Been excited for this since you teased it a while back.

[kapowaz]

Edit: seeing it now on a better screen I can tell that it is actually very dark blue

Never buy black key caps from a normal shop. They shaft you every time!

[factoryofidols]

Would love to see a 40s kit. Definitely like this set.

[productkun]

Thank you for innovative mods!

[low_key_keyboards]

Really digging this digital sci-fi esque vibe.

[Xerpocalypse]

Way hecking cool, definitely interested.

[dandruff]

Just a heads up, the homing/extra F and J of the Japanese Base kit are missing the sub legends!

[dudewth]

Sir you have my attention

[SirFroy]

Very interested

[bsanto]

I'm totally getting this set

[Jaehashi]

Interested in this!

[Devilosis]

Very nice design, I'm very intrigued to see the price of the base set due to the number of custom molds needed for the modifiers.

Colors will be communicated in the GB thread and (obviously) on product pages during GB.
If you have doubts about how the set might look IRL, DM me, I'd be pleased to share the RAL/Pantone references with you

[Magnificent Bureaucrat]

The caps are a little too full on for my tastes but I love the desk mat designs. Could pair quite well with Cyberspace.

[Moustacher]

AWAKEN MY MASTERS

[atlanticise]

wew those deskmats are next level litttt

[Crazy Designers]

i think i fall in love 

[FaIIen]

This is unique to say the least, I like it.

[AnomalousFox]

oh dearly departed money - I hardly knew thee...

And now this in my head:

Looks sweet!

Total been here, how does one go about purchasing a set of these badboissss

[Rooke-Design]

Nice! Although I far prefer the mainframe kit. I think the negative space is needed with those novelties

[HungHingDaiLo]

Please consider black on yellow or yellow on black deskmat variant.

[Pieterv24]

I like it, I´m interested

[KineticKeys]

This set is a MUST HAVE

[directheatedtriode]

Nice set 

[Eldu]

okay, i'm in.

[biip]

Please consider black on yellow or yellow on black deskmat variant.

I like it less



I will work on more variant/different designs

[harlekein]

I'm not going to be as oblivious and ask for a Colevrak kit, but perhaps a Katakana mono-legend kit is an option?

If not, I still might just get this, because it's truly unique and the mod keys are agnostic.

Is there any chance for the numpad in the Neo Tokyo kit to get sublegends as well?

[HungHingDaiLo]

Dude, I....LIKE IT! (Maybe I just love yellow too much xD)

There are already 40 new molds that will be made for the set.
I don't think I'll add more new alphas/novelties to GMK Awaken. Hope you understand

Absolutely. I wasn't sure if the molds existed yet or not. Curious to know the pricing for this one.

love it, would buy the japanese set and deskmats.

[RA Can]

maybe you add something with an indicator light? like the one on redline start engine

[FireLock]

Nice just waiting for NorDe to be included

I want this to be deskmat more than the actual proposed one lol

[hottrout]

Really love it.  Please add in UK ISO.

[norb]

and just when i thought i had enough gmk sets, this happened. this is massive

[Vellioh]

…Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Take the land, that must be taken
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Devour worlds, smite forsaken…

[Boxfiend]

Those NeoTokyos are phenomenal, VERY interested.

[directheatedtriode]

Current desk mats look good but I'd also be interested in others with entirely different designs but maintaining the same colors, even using several of those colors in a single design.

Also any chance of the battery design in a pair of 1.5u?

[stevenT]

 
any chance for a yellow on dark blue deskmat and reverse mode, blue mode with dark legend for example.

[Surefoot]

I like the cyberpunk vibes from this one...
Any chance to get ISO UK missing keys in the addon kit ?

[atlanticise]

This is really really hot, please consider 40s compat!!

[Vegas_]

this looks awesome! super interested, love the novelties and the colorway - will keep an eye out for the GB!

[BakedNaked]

for sure interested in buying this bad boi

[Ninefox]

Looks awesome, the Deskmat is just beautiful ! Can't wait to buy it.

[cloudtastrophe]

ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

[Ghur]

100% sold on this one.

[misogenki]

Definitely in for this. The set looks amazing! 65%, numpad, novelties, and deskmat please! Looking forward to the GB.

[paperassgasket]

Novelkeys for US vendor makes me happy.

[alaude]

Looks amazing!! so now the wait begins... Great job on this set!!!!

[segphault]

I love this design. I am in for the Neotokyo kit.

[hiddensong]

Yet another GMK set to wait years for....sign me up!

[arremkay]

This is beyond hype!

The one thing I don't understand is why include a separate base kit just to remove the weeb alphas? The mods scream for sublegends like nothing else. It would make more sense to have the second base kit include icon/"modern" mods. Or just get rid of it if you're worried about the second kit cannibalizing sales due to the price difference for the lack of new molds.

[Yum_Yumz221]

Looks fantastic and am already interested! Eagerly waiting for the final version and GB.

[dimaqq]

IWOOT! 105-key ISO please

[Sanity_]

Interested!

from my perspective, the mods make the set and it wouldn't make any sense to offer a "clean" version with modern icons. that would degrade this to a boring "midnight miami"-kind of set. i totally agree with you on the "screaming for sublegends" part but i can also see the attractiveness from the contrast of the busy mods to clean alphas. perfect for people who don't like sublegends while keeping the cost low/the same for both parties. for a big investment in new molds like this you'll need all the support you can get if you want to offer a competitive price.

[Techichi]

I'm not normally a fan of bright colors or sub legends, but I love them both here. Might grab this one. I'M unsure, but I really like the set.

[productkun]

Possible to add another 3u spacebar for Type K support?

[York Chan]

Gooooood！Very cool , guy

[Surefoot]

It would be nice to have ISO UK missing keys in the add-on kit.

Another vote for katakana mono alphas. Would be a great set for all of us non QWERTY users. I am not sure if using the alpha molds from GMK Masterpiece is fair game here, but they do exist already.

Could you PLZ include a 2u R4 key as the left shift in some extra kits for minila users? Really wanna put this on a minila...
Or I simply just really want a nice looking GMK kit on my minila...

[candravamsa]

All in.

[GL1TCH3D]

I haven't entered a GB in years but this is tempting.

[rexreaper]

YOU AMAZE ME EVERYTIME

[Skribbles]

So renders look great, but like GMK Laser and its fluorescent renders, actual product came out flat. Suspect the same.

[KeyRelic]

Will enter, ****, ctrl etc. with patterns be double shot? They won't wear off?

Its soo cool, but a year is a long time. Which I get, but, its still a long time.

Yep, this is going to look bonkers in my Venice Beach/Pink Norbakeys RGB, ORDERED!

I really like this design. Especially if it comes with an international and iso kit.

The group buy happened one year ago, you're pretty late.

If you watch the vendors you should be able to grab some 'extra' sets once it is released.

Will this be delayed time and time again just like its inspiration is?

How accurate this take was tho
