Thank you for your patronage 😍

[parityb1t]

This looks awesome! Is there a chance u will add an accent kit with swapped legend/base colors?

Unlikely right now I'm afraid.

For 40s users:
I want to remove 1.75u space and apostrophe, any feedback on that before I do it? Thank you!

I think removing apostrophe is fine why remove 1.75u space? I feel like some people do use it

[konstantin]

I think removing apostrophe is fine why remove 1.75u space? I feel like some people do use it

As far as I know, 1.75u space is only used on three 40% boards (JD40, Daisy, Vortex Core), which are quite rare to boot. Not only that, but I think the most popular out of those (JD40) actually uses not one but two 1.75u spacebars, so a single 1.75u spacebar doesn't do much in the grand scheme of things.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thats fair enough, I think you got the facts down.

I guess I thought since it was R4 and blank, maybe some peeps also use it instead of shift might just be me ..

This is a really nice keyset. Wish my French was worse though as it keeps bothering me lmao

I'm French and that keyset name doesn't bother me. I love it.
Sorry :*

Would it be possible to move the 2@ keys from numpad kit to base kit? Cuz it doesnt make sense to blow another ~50 bucks for a standard 2 key. I believe this would be the best option for ppl who arent a fan of the <3 key being lower since you wanted to stick to the OG look.

I did think about that, but the reason for having it in a separate kit is because the focus of this set is the heart legend, so it would make sense that I want people to also use it. I know a lot of people are fans of the colorway but really dislike the legend, and initially I wasn't planning to offer the normal @ legend at all. This is a compromise on my end, even though I understand it doesn't satisfy everyone. :/

Beautiful set

[refkeys]

Gorgeous set, I love the colour scheme. It's almost making me consider using Cherry profile but hopefully it's popular enough that you run it again in DSA in future!
Good luck with your IC

Thanks a lot man! Sorry to say, but I will never run a set that is not cherry profile. :/

[Solotov]

Hey Emir, please tell me that you have another set coming up with that blue on blue color from Fire fly's mod keys. I would insta buy it!

it is a nice color!

Before quality is sorted out with GMK I don't really feel like investing my time into creating new designs. :/

[LevelSteam]

I need this in my life.

[Audiobs]

Gosh, so many purple sets and I still want this! You would have saved me some money not buying the others!

[Emir]

I need this in my life.

Thanks for sporting the signature!

As of right now I am not sure if this will run. The GMK situation needs clarification (legend issues deemed within their tolerances) as well as huge delays. It was set to run in June, we will see.

Understandable. Have you considered running this set in a dye-sub PBT set like KAT? Not sure if it would be feasible or not with the colors but that would be pretty slick looking and it would mix up the current set offerings by sidestepping GMK in favor of a different profile, material, and vendor.

[Poesjuh]

Makes perfect sense to postpone any plans for the set when you don't have confidence in GMK's ability to deliver for whatever reason.

[RedBeardDog]

Nice

[honoka]

it's emir. come on. it's gmk/cherry profile or nothing

[neutralstate]

what about infinikeys pbt?

[Emir]

it's emir. come on. it's gmk/cherry profile or nothing

This. I am not interested in any other profile besides cherry, and nothing compares to GMK. I will live and die by GMK, even if that means I've got to start collecting "vintage" gmk sets if they don't get their qc together.

[kaisn]

is there some source where I can read about the current GMK QC issues?

[whitty]

i haven't really been keeping up to date with gmk keysets and the qc issues. but I know about wavez and their esc keys, and wob hiragana with their icon mods. what are the others?

[Emir]

The WoB/BoW Icon extension kit has had several legend issues, here's the statement from us:

Easy. Just ditch the icon mods and use either text plus icon or full text mods.

They are taking responsibility for the imperfect legends, which restores faith in them for me. This is set to run in June as stated before!

Amazing news! bring on june!

[krautcat]

About forties. There's keyboard with unusual staggering like Pearl. Pearl requires two 1.5u R3 modifiers. Enter and possibly Ctrl/Tab.

It's up to you to decide whether such boards should be considered.

Any estimates what you figure the base kit will be since it is pretty barebones?

Similarly priced to firefly. Can't give an exact estimate before having the quotes. :)

Updated 40s kit

Am I right that diff relative to previous iteration is that you've stripped couple of keys?

And didn't you want to add 1.5U Tab key for keys with non-usual stagger?

[dlavelle94]

This would go well with my Gengar cap.

Yes! For now keeping it as minimal as possible.

[Emir]

Quotes are in and pricing is done for all but 1 proxy! Should have some numbers for everyone soon!

Unfortunately, requesting a custom colors for 1 individual key turned out to be a bit expensive. Will update soon!

[impassenet]

I love it 
Hope to see it on mykeyboard.eu.

[Emir]

Pricing is here:


Unfortunately it is a bit more expensive than Firefly, even though the amount of keys are less (base). The reasoning for this is the amount of colors. GMK has a minimum order quantity for colors, and buying out MOQ for colors to use just on 1 key x4 raised the quote.

I think it is OK all things considered!

Nice work! By the way, I didn’t see anyone mention two minus sign keys in numpad kit but no equals sign. Must not be much love for the numpad. Maybe needs more <3

Given the couple unique qualities of the set, those prices strike me as fair. I wouldn't say no to a lower price, but it seems reasonable as-is. Nice!
