Title: [GB] GMK Deep Navy | Shipping from GMK
Post by: ttom on Thu, 30 April 2020, 04:28:51
GB May 1st - June 1st

Hi all,

Welcome to the GB for GMK Deep Navy! There won’t be a lengthy explanation as to why I chose this theme - I just like it; having been surrounded by nordic design since I was young I’ve grown quite fond of this dark navy colour. As a fan of minimalism I've kept it as an uncontroversial colour scheme that I very much enjoy; something that is stylish in home use and not too outlandish to bring to the office. This is the first full keyset I’ve designed so I’m keeping it nice and simple with just 2 kits.

GMK Deep Navy is a sleek and professional keyset featuring custom dark navy keys with WS1 legends.

Estimated shipping Q1 2021

Base:

The base kit provides compatibility for 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 1800 and full-size boards, with support for ISO. Accent keys are included for those who want to bring a bit of flare to their board.

Addition:

A spacebars kit with 40% and Alice-layout compatibility.

I recommend you take a look at the renders on a computer screen as phone screens boost contrast especially on darker colours, making this seem a lot more dark than intended.

any thoughts on getting this for a blue 7V? i know it's not the same "blue", but still think it might look good.

if there were more white mods, i'd jump on it.

I believe that’d be a very nice combo - the two different blues would compliment each other well

Ordered the base and Rama keycap! First keycaps ordered ever. This will go into my Prophet Keyboard. Was contemplating between this and the GMK Masterpiece. But I feel like this could match many different future boards better.

Well done!

Yes. Nothing has contributed more to me not buying matching deskmats than that.

Yes. Nothing has contributed more to me not buying matching deskmats than that.

The reason for having to pay for shipping twice is because the deskmats and the keycaps have different production times; therefore, they are shipped separately.

Rama caps and base kits have different production times and ship together. I had figured the difference was inventory space.

I’d be surprised if this wasn’t 1000 base kits before extras.

There’s not many set designers who have that under their belt. Congratulations.

Hi all, a couple of updates today.

Firstly, our first round of colour samples has shipped to Upas. No ETA as of now for pictures / other data, however I'll relay updates here when they come.

Secondly, we have received production renders from GMK. Please bear in mind that these are not colour-accurate, and just a representation of the keycaps in the kits. You can rest assured that everything is as intended  ;)

Post by: ttom on Thu, 10 September 2020, 13:08:41
Hey everyone - finally got both GMK and deskmat samples on hand. I am very happy with both, and I hope you all will be too!

Upas and I had feared going into colour matching that the GMK sample would turn out too light compared to renders (as the Pantone swatches we had didn't seem to match perfectly). This sample turned out visibly a touch darker than the Pantone and we both feel like this colour is far better in comparison to the renders - after all, this is what the set was sold on. This has been locked in and we are just awaiting production now ;D

So without further ado, here are the pictures:

GMK samples:
(Left to right)
GMK White-on-Black, GMK Deep Navy, GMK Firefly, GMK WS1/V4 (Classic Blue)

Deskmat:
These have already been shipped from the manufacturer and should arrive at vendors this month. If you ordered just the mat, these should be with you soon.

The sample looks brighter than expected. It looks like GMK Calm Depths alpha dark blue imo. kind of disappointed. Would seriously prefer the darker deeper blue in the renders.

I would say it's a touch darker than Calm Depths alphas, but from this I would say I agree that the navy is lighter than what i would expect with the name "Deep Navy". Can only wait to see it in person

Expected the sample to be a fair bit darker than that, but I'll reserve judgement until I have the set in my hands. I think it will look great on dark grey boards though!

Take note of the bright lighting. You can see that V4, a stock GMK color, looks like sky blue - which it's not. The color won't look that bright on your desk - most of the day.

It's a safe bet that the extras will be released through cannonkeys, whenever that time comes.

We sincerely regret, but GMK Deep Navy is now scheduled for shipment week 28 of 2021, around July 14th plus/minus a couple of days.
