For those of you that participated in the first of my GMK buys, that Esc key with red on white is UN001 for reference.

Doesn't light grey ruin all the possible mix and match possibilities with all previous GMK gbs (Dolch, Purple Mods, CMYW, RGBW)? Seems to me that having it white makes it better to play with combinations (white alphas/purp mods, dolch alphas/cyan mods).

Pretty sure the white/light gray is for the alphas base color, not the lettering, which is cyan. So there should be no difference when matching with other sets.

well you still end up with white lettering on your mods with base light grey alphas, looks like it would stick out like a sore thumb

EDIT : I am just saying if we want to do Faux TA is fine, but if we want to mix and match with other sets, which is kinda important I find, that light grey wont cut it

That lighting/photo still makes it look very off-white (cream/gray-ish).  Would need some daylight photos next to a pure white sheet of paper or some such.

I already set white balance before making the picture using a white sheet. It really is slightly cream/greyish.

You have, but the resulting photograph, as it's portrayed on my calibrated monitor, still shows incorrect color for cyan--too blue where it should be more teal--I own GMK's "cyan" keycaps.  So while white balance may have been correct, color accuracy is also dependent on other factors, such as camera RAW data processing, post-processing, saturation/vibrancy settings, both of our monitors, etc., etc.  In short, it's nice to have reference colors in a photograph.

That diversion aside, thank you for confirming that it's not pure white!!

I'll do you one better ;)


Ivan's Round 2 PBT 'White' with Magenta dyesub|Geekhack Xtravaganza BoB
GMK white Esc with red doubleshot|Geekhack Xtravaganza Grey on White 'Monocloud'

It's not as grey as the Dyesub but not as clear white as the SP white one. Though the differences are marginal at best.

And feel free to dabble with the colour temperature if you want. You can find the original resolution if you click on the photos a few times. :)

i don't think the color of the base will break the compatibility of the alpha with other sets.
i think the color of the legend (cyan) on the alpha kit will be more noticeable when mixed with other sets.

I'm going to be buying the base set. No light grey alphas, but at least the GMK white is not as clear, bright white as SP's. JaccoW's comparison pic helped me make my decision. I think feng is just waiting on the quote from GMK now. He said that about a week ago, so hopefully this buy will be up and running soon!
