ps: now ... how can i make render on the keyboard..?!

I'd reach out to one of the usual suspects about rendering, unless you want to try the steep learning curve involved in doing it yourself.

AFAIK, however, they don't do it for free unless they have personal interest in the project.

Post by: avid on Tue, 29 August 2017, 07:57:21: How dark is the CR color? Have you thought about the N9 color? It's the same color as skidata and terminal.

Beautiful set. Where do you plan to run it? I hope we get EU proxy.

And Dolch mods, and Sky Dolch mods and Ocean Dolch alphas..etc..

CR looks better imo.

Post by: poolside on Sat, 09 September 2017, 14:13:22: Thanks for the renders. It is great to see 1.5u Code keycaps as well as the 1.25u Fn. :thumb:

Will the 6u spacebar have a centered or an off-centered stem?

A few keyboard-related constellations, according to the Wikipedia: Orion, Dolphin (Delphinus), Unicorn (Monoceros), Peacock (Pavo)

Yuri-style icon modifiers would pair well with constellations novelties.

Post by: ideus on Sun, 10 September 2017, 09:19:47: Black is always an elegant color for keyboards. Cyan makes high contrast legends. Elegant, simple and useful. What else could someone ask for. Hoping for the original poster to be sensible enough to include a six unit space bar with off-center stem. Others dismissed users of 1800 boards, thinking that only HHKB moders deserve attention. Despising the making of this community, old timers and new comers, is not the best way to make a contribution.
Title: Re: [IC]GMK Dark Sky (keyboard render update)
Post by: Albru on Sun, 10 September 2017, 13:32:41: I'd like to see icon modifiers, even though I'm okay with standard text ones. Colemak kit would be also nice, but I doubt it would hit MOQ.

But, I do think this set will look good mixed with n9 for a darker version of sky/ocean dolch too.

This is different to Dolch. You have the right to buy all of them. No matter what your wallet's owner said.
