Lack of effort or what aside, am I the only one offended by the eye-burning render? It hurts my eyes, literally.

[commandog]

This is spicy on the eyes. Would OP even consider buying this himself? I'm curious.

[ubmit]

I think you should work on the contrast

[gilbert]

my eyes burn

[Benedikt]

It hurts my eyes. *sigh* I hope that's not just the render but the final caps too.

[Alga]

Looks extremely rushed to claim the idea mate.

And even if those are the official colors of Cyberpunk, that's a color cacophony. Take your time to work on it.

[ttom]

No. God no.

[Bobatype]

This was somewhat inevitable when the /r/mk post about the Cyberpunk 2077 official pantone colour got a gazillion upvotes. Combine unbridled enthusiasm with dakota felder files, and you're going to get some excited kid throwing up their concept in this dungeon of jaded neckbeards 

These sort of posts happen every once in a while, and I get that it's fun to just make fun of them, let's just remember there's someone on the other end who usually is new to the scene, unfamiliar with established expectations, and likely very young. So good on the people who are suggesting constructive comments.

(Also let's keep offtopic comments about the kcd server out of this thread. That server is merely an access point to resources, and this poster obviously didn't read any of the guides and merely recoloured a blend file. Just because Trump comes from the USA doesn't mean I immediately start judging all Americans are of the same ilk.)

EDIT: of course this could just be a troll post. who knows?

[ThereminGoat]

Is it normal to be able to taste colors? I think I can literally taste these colors.

[HappyB0T]

My suggestion is to look at any of the ICs on this site and put up the decent amount of effort to call your post and IC. If you are gonna post a render please consider the keycaps reddit group.

[Solutional]

Once upon a time, there was a little boy. He was a very happy boy who spread joy to wherever and whoever came across his way. One day, however, he appeared very pessimistic, unlike his usual self. When asked, he said, "I... I saw the devil... The devil haunts me. Save me; grace my soul and rid me of this terrible disease!"
An investigation was done, which revealed that the boy was exposed to JTK Cyberkeycapset. From then on, folks told their grandchildren tales of the terrible demon that engulfed a poor boy's soul.

Nice, hope it provides 40% MKB support

Didn't anyone ever tell you guys to not feed the trolls?

Not sure the Krelbit copypasta has ever been more relevant. OP, in all seriousness give this a read please.

I appreciate the hustle and desire to capitalize on zeitgeist while you can.

That being said, early ICs are simply not the way to go about publishing a set concept. A bad early IC is way worse than a late, fleshed out IC. ICs are all about impressions and the impression this IC leaves upon me is very poor. You're looking for positive reception as confirmation for renders? You're not going to find it with this low quality of an IC.

It's clear that you're fairly new to the community. You made a GH account to post this thread. This is a 104 key base kit. That's something you majorly flesh out before you even have colors in a lot of cases. Your colors are web colors, meaning you're oblivious to the IC process and GMK production as a whole, things you can easily find out more about by visitng the trove of old GB and IC threads, or even uniqey's website. This comes off as a cash grab from an inexperienced community member, which, to be honest, I'm not ragging on, but I'm definitely not about it. Take some time in the hobby to be part of the community. Be a little more active. Find out what works, what's good, why it works, why it's good, and talk with more types of folks to engage in that exchange. That's what it's really about. While the "i see guy make thing, i can make thing too!" mentality certainly has driven a lot of cool stuff, this is not one of those cases.

Renders went from being a nice to have in ICs to nearly a need to have. It shows you have some level of personal commitment to the set that you would even pay for mockups our of your own pocket before anything is official. To not have renders and to just show off a set of KLEs, is definitely not a good look, and the KLEs do a very poor job of showing the colors that you want to show, or maybe they do a really good job, but to me they look like blanks. I'm not trying to bog you down or take shots at an easy target, rarely anything ever deserves that. If you're truly invested in making this set happen beyond a text-post and a barely visible KLE render, you need to make a very good impression, so that vendors who see your IC will want to work with ya.

Many people will not buy into the concept if the IC is not good from the get-go. You can sell any concept to anyone as long as the beginning impressions are good enough.

If you're intent on making this happen (and this would have to be very soon, before more eyes can see this and get their first impressions, which, in their current state would result in the set being written off extremely quickly) then you can:

1. Flesh out those layouts.
2. Get some renders.
3. Pick colors that aren't web colors, it's 2020. We have resources to help design GMK sets. GMK has resources to help design GMK sets. Use google, guy.
4. Goals, MOQs, prior contact to GMK show vendors that you're willing to do work beyond "hur dur look at color now shoulder it all for me," which, even if a vendor wouldn't take you up on, they would like to see.
5. Give more of a ****. Going into a project half-assed (you could be fully on board, but this post does certainly not show that) only makes me believe in the project less. If you don't believe in your project enough to give a detailed, commited sales pitch, why should any vendor, or even why should the community believe in it? Dipping your toes into the pool is simply not an option when everyone else who's making successful sets is hopping in headfirst.


cmon guy.

has a good set ever come out of that discord though

GMK iceberg, GMK retrocast, GMK Norse, SA Ramses, KAM Superuser, GMK Ishtar, GMK Deku,... list goes on.

no actually i think that reinforces my point but it's ok

Hey man, I've been mulling over this comment for a while. I decided to put together a response on behalf of myself. Check it out.

i'll admit i fell for this one

[Cahuib23]

Please no

[noorejji]

Love the amount of reactions to plain as day garbage this site gets. Makes me think people will create accounts and reach to get this kind of attention on purpose!

Didn't these sort of IC's use to get one reply and then die? Wonder what happened.

[donny_pete]

Yikes this may not be it chiefton

[norb]

everybody so mad that they don't even realize this is a complete parody of the cyberswitch ic.  )

[fatpolomanjr]

Guys, this is the spiritual successor to GMK Simpsons, where by "spiritual" I mean "exactly the same but with a different name".

[U_Mage25]

My eyes...

[Rumblehotep]

Perfect keyboard theft deterrent, so long Miami

[notquant]

money grab hoooooly.

[mozaic]

You should learn how colors work, then come back and update this

[Atomical]

You need to rethink those legends... Also why have the yellows be the alpha. The brightest color shouldn't take over the entire board.

is it really


is it really doe

[nhoz]

This set was inspired on those people who got seizure attacks playing the game.

[Bantalope]

These keycaps are about the equivalent of blank keycaps.

Given that they flashbanged me immediately upon seeing the render, you best be able to use your keyboard without seeing the legends.

[sirieous]

This has to be a parody right..?

[bball2]

Your were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should. 

[Puddsy]

it is but we're enjoying it

I may not show it

But that keycap set really be giving me brain damage

[yh]

no please my eyes are bleeding from the pic
on an honest note, these colours are maybe too much for an entire set, try just novelties perhaps?

[SpinningHook]

change name to flash bang thanks

Nice.

And I'm pretty certain that given the OPs response to the switch IC with the same colors, this is a joke.

[Rico]

Couldn't you have waited April 1st to post this meme IC ?

At least you're the first to post it, haha !

These legends are just about unreadable and while I love the colors in general, they really, really, REALLY don't play well together here.

[Pach]

I can't really see the render well can you make it brighter
