The response to this set has been huge and exceeded any and all expectation that I had!
You sent me a ton of feedback and I actually tried to go through it all. Replies to the most common or controversial feedback below.
I would love to see more novelties!
I could add more novelties, but this would raise the price of the novelty kit. Trying to keep both things balanced as much as possible. Will reconsider after getting a price quote from GMK.
split numpad and iso to a separate kit to make the base kit cheaper
I prefer kits with separate numpad so I don’t need to buy that as well, personally
Please don't split Numpad. I don't understand the thought process of cutting a $10-15 kit when you're already spending $100+. And then asking people that do want Numpad to pay $30-40 is madness to me.
Base kit without a numpad would be 10 USD cheaper but the new numpad kit would cost 30-50 USD, depending if I put ISO in it or not. This will make it much harder for it to hit MOQ.
Light alphas is needed for those who want to deviate a little from the original design and require more contrast between their modifiers and alphas. 
Please see my proposed kit below — I'll post it in a few minutes.
Fewer spacebars in spacebar kit, or put split grey spacebars in base. Love the kit otherwise, it's what I've been looking for!
Again, this is a balance thing. I really want all three colours, for all three characters, to be fully represented in the accents.
Possible to get a shine-through novelty kit?
See-through for rgb backlit
GMK does not do shine-through due to the inferior quality of opaque plastic.
Add keys of all the signs or Witcher schools
This design is focused on Geralt, Yen, and Ciri. I could do a full Witcher set, but I just wanted to focus on on those three with a specific theme I had in mind.
I'd love to have an Iso NorDe Kit, I was searching for a GMK set with an iso kit with nice colours for a year now
I'd love to do NorDEUK but it would have an MOQ of 100 and I forsee 20-50 purchases at most.
A design on some of the space bars would be nice.
GMK does only pad printing on spacebars. This is not of acceptable quality.
I really hope there is a deskmat that is created for this because even if I couldn't get the keycaps I would 100% get a deskmat. Something that I think would look cool is doing the symbol design like one of the GMK Lunar deskmats but doing it with the signs. Other than that something like GMK Ashes mat would also be awesome. Good luck man! I hope I can pick one of these up!
There will be a desk mat!
To add on to my previous response, please consider moving the novelties in base and include more 2M accents to emphasise a little more of the ‘White Wolf’ portion of the set
The base kit without novelties would just be a regular N9/2M set. This is not what I'm going for. If you don't mind a warmer light grey, just pick up GMK Nines. I'd like GMK White Wolf to stand on its own and be unique in a minimalist fashion.
I'd rather see 1.5u Code keys in the base kit than novelties, which I almost never use. Otherwise, it looks great. Will def check out the White Wolf books, too.
They're there 🙂, although I will change them to "Super".
Instead of having the one steel sword printed on the enter key, you could have a steel sword on one shift key and a silver sword in the other to make it more true to the Geralt wielding two swords. GMK Red Samurai does this with katanas for reference.
I considered this but I won't want to be seen as ripping off GMK Red Samurai's design. More feedback welcome, as usual.
Would be cool to have a runic silver sword with an angled hilt (V-shaped like the show/game) and the traditional steel sword with a regular hilt as the shifts. That way it fits Geralt with the two sword theme.
Creating more novelties is a delicate act of keeping the theme and price of the kits balanced. I would like this set to be more affordable than my previous ones, especially since our world economy isn't exactly stellar at the moment.
F-key caps added to Zirael?
Please elaborate.
A Roach text novelty please!
OK.
Could you add 1.75 r3 (enter or novelty) key for 40s support (mainly Elise personally but could help other 40s fellas). I'm planning to alternate using this between Rukia and Elise and these caps would complement both perfectly. Tytyty
I have received so many "just add one key" suggestions, that were I to sum them all up, I'd have to add another 20 keys to base. This would raise the price substantially for all of us, while giving benefits to a select few. I really wish GMK had a different structure which would allow for this to be made, but they don't. Sorry. 😞
For 65%, a R3 PgUp and a R4 PgDn would be nice. An international/nordic kit would also be nice.
What keyboard do you use those keys on, and why? I would suggest just using the novelties instead, so as not to add more keys to base?
Possibly more novelties overall, definitely more of the 1.25 length for the bottom row.
Considering this.
It would be cool to have a set with the witcher Elder language on the alphas
This would raise the price of the base kit to over 160 USD.
On GH you said extra B for Alice but it’s not in the render. Also, I would like to see 1u convex spacekey. I know not all set offers it in spacebar kit and it seems to be 50/50, but for me personally, not having all three space bars being convex really bothers me.
Yeah, error in the render (I missed it when checking) — sorry!
I'll think about the 1u convex spacebar.
Maybe change the number pad's enter key to use a steel sword icon? It'd be neat to have both since his two swords are so impotant.
I considered this, but again — this will raise the base kit price.
The teal/blue green accent be a little more bright blue, similar to the in-game Aard teal
I have decided to use stock colours (I'll get a photo of them up soon) so this isn't really possible.
NORDE kit and its a instant buy for me!
Unfortunately, there are so few NorDEUK kit buyers that its chances of hitting MOQ are very small.
If you could put Asian/foreign language letters in white underneath the regular letters I’d loveeee it!
I assume you mean something like Katakana. This does not fit the theme, especially since the Witcher has nothing to do with Japanese culture.
I would like to see icon mods added (preferably to base)
I would too but they don't really fit in well.
you might want to consider using vendors other the TKC -such as NovelKeys
that have better MOQ pricing for kits
Move numpad or get a less expensive vendor. TKC pricing is always on the higher end CONSISTENTLY along with kono, while dixiemech, novelkeys, cannonkeys, TXkeyboards, and others have had much more fair prices. Stock color sets should not be costing 130-160 per kit before shipping.
1. I don't work for TKC but I do have some insight into how my kits were priced. They're not priced higher than other vendors if the kits were exactly the same.
2. TKC chooses to run with more complicated and expensive sets, such as my own GMK Lunar. That set had 77 new moulds and it cost 160 USD and trust me when I say that it was priced competitively.
3. Using Stock, RAL, or Pantone colours has NO EFFECT on price.
4. MOQ has an effect on price but this depends on the results of the IC.
I love this theme, would definitely buy all kits. Please include colevrak+ support though.
I would love to add Colevrak+ but there's not enough interest for this kit to hit MOQ.
it'd be cool if there was some sort of design on the space bar, possibly a white version of one of the witchers swords or the 5 main signs (the ones from the game, not the book) lined up
GMK does not do doubleshot spacebars, which leaves pad printing and this is inferior quality.
I'd love to see the split spacebars in Purple, Teal, and Light grey.
I considered this but that would substantially increase the price of the set.
Could use kingdom crest colors for accents. Temeria, Nilfgaard, etc...
It would not fit my theme, focusing on three specific characters — Geralt, Yen, and Ciri.
If the Ciri and Yennefer accents are only available in the novelties kit then they deserve some cool icons instead of the standard Enter arrow. Please make ALL 5 signs available in 1u R1.
I did consider this, but that would require yet more moulds from GMK. I really want the kit to be affordable enough so that more people can enjoy it. I don't think a 100 USD novelty kit would sell well.
Change the novelty rune keys to match the spell color
Unlikely to happen but if the signs could be doubleshot with their respective colors in the game (i.e. red symbol for Igni) that would be marvelous.
I considered this but then everything gets a bit... busy. So many colours on a minimalist in nature set. I will think some more if I can come up with some sort of compromise.
I’d like to make colour change if you are willing to do something like that for me.
Not quite sure what you have in mind but feel free to contact me on here, Discord, or IG.
Left shift could be "silver" of some kind, maybe for flourish the sign keys could come in colours.
Could you please elaborate?
Corsair K95 with the 18 G keys on the left side, it's an older board. I'm guessing the keys will fit but I'm concerned regardless
If you get the novelties kit, you'll be covered for this board without problems.
I would love this if the modifiers, numbers and maybe punctuation had a different color like the blue Purchasable as an additional kit.
Not exactly sure if you mean the keys themselves or just the legends on the keys?
Subtle runic style lettering!
This would make the base kit very expensive (see above).
Vim arrows on the HJKL keys
I love VIM arrows and I could do another kit with those, but (1) that would mean a lot of kits and (2) I don't know if the demand is there. Will consider this.
Maybe adding the other witcher classes as novelty options? Or a gold colorway for Geralts eyes?
I settled on 4 colours — 2M silver (Geralt's hair), N9 dark grey (Geralt's clothes and the overall night theme of his line of work), TU1 teal/blue-ish for Ciri's eyes and DY for Yen's eyes. I would prefer not to add even more colours as they would break the theme of this set.
Smaller right shift, for 65% layout
Included.
"Core Kit: It would be nice to slim it down a bit more ~
- no wolf novelty escape
- no sword novelty ansi and iso enters
- no 2m accent arrows
- no 2u shift
- no row 3 1.25u tab
- no 1.5u codes"
I'm trying to balance the base kit to be as usable as possible for as many people as possible, keep the price down, and keep it on theme.
No novelties would just make it a plain N9/2M set.
I don't really have a good place to put the ISO keys in.
Accented arrows will be moved to the novelties set.
2u Shift will remain.
R3 1.25u Tab will remain for those 40s that require it.
1.5u Codes (changed to Supers) will remain for HHKB.
I don't know if this is too much to ask for, but can you theme the novelties around in game symbols versus the TV show symbols. Huge fan of the books and Witcher 3, but I though the show was really meh. So having yennefer and geralt's necklace pendants from the games instead of the netfilx promotional symbols would be super cool.
Will consider, but not likely.
All text mods or all icon mods pls, not both
There are a couple of ways to do these. Icons on R1-R3 + R4 text. Text on all. Icons on all. Icons + text on R1-R3. I personally most like the setup I chose but I am considering going all text, so as not to distract from the novelty keys.
Can you make the arrow keys and last column closer to the main section so it is more compact?
I don't understand — please elaborate what you mean exactly.
Does the spacebar kit include 2.25u and 2.75u? I don't know by sight what the smaller included space bar sizes are. Might want to include that info for the relative noobs, ty.
Yes. The spacebar kit has: 275 + 225 + 200 + 125, all convex.
I will add sizes to the next set of renders.
I would love to have a regular ESC keycap in the lighter grey color similar to the arrow keys. Side note, I want the 7V too and was not sure which color to get. This kit definitely is pushing me to get the grey 7V. Thanks!
It will be included in the novelty kit.
Normal accent keys in the white grey color (2M I believe) add to the base kit. Novelty (sword/wofl) accent keys removed from base kit and move them to the novelties kit. I understand the idea behind having novelty accent keys in base kit of you but honestly it kinda out of place.
Repeated from above: The base kit without novelties would just be a regular N9/2M set. This is not what I'm going for. If you don't mind a warmer light grey, just pick up GMK Nines. I'd like GMK White Wolf to stand on its own and be unique in a minimalist fashion.
Please include the steel and solver swords somehow in the base kit! Maybe steel on the shift and silver on the enter, or something like that! Oh man that would be so cool.
I would love to add more novelties, but I really want to keep the price balanced.
expanding the novelties set to include more sizes would be cool, i.e some 1.25u, 1.5u, 1.75u, 2u, 2.25u keys to replace the bottom row mods, shift, caps lock, backspace, etc.
Price would increase substantially but I will consider adding a few more text novelties.
1. The magic signs need color, like the Oblivion keycap set the signs need their game color.
2. You probably took your inspiration from the Netflix-series but I would want a steel sword. Maybe the right shift?
3. The look of the keyboard is rather minimalistic, I like it, but I also like the blue. This color is amazing. Why does the Zireael Kit not have swords on the enter key?
4. The F keys: I don't use them as much, but I need them sometimes, maybe you can put Game Icons on them, instead of the boring F1, F2, F3, etc. ( https://witcher.fandom.com/wiki/Category:The_Witcher_3_images_-_Map_icons )
5. I don't know how possible it is, but an iconic line on the space bar would be so cool. Like ""The world doesn't need a hero, it needs a professional"" - Geralt of Rivia. But I don't know if this is too long of so.
6. If the fount is Morpheus, the Letters would look like Witcher, but I think that would destroy the minimalistic look of it.
7. Maybe a Macro-Kit with the Witcher schools on the keys, but I haven't found good school icons, I may be able to help you design them.
So those are just my ideas, maybe not all of them are improvements, but I would be really into such a kit and I would go out of my way to help you.
Re. 1: This could work if they were always in the exact same locations but since these novelties are designed to work on various layouts and keyboards, it makes the whole design look really busy and less attractive.
Re. 2: Inspiration is mostly from the books. See the 1-2 paragraphs from the first post.
Re. 3: Geralt's 2M keys in the novelty kit will have swords. I could add the swords to Ciri's Enters but they don't fit on Yen's. Will consider.
Re. 4: This would increase the price substantially.
Re. 5: GMK doesn't do doubleshot spacebars and pad printing is inferior in terms of quality and durability.
Re. 6: This would require all new moulds and increase the base kit's price to 160+ USD.
Re. 7: I like this idea but not for this set, which I'm trying to keep focused on Geralt, Ciri, and Yen.
Please incluse a "Hmm" novelty as well! Maybe for the backspace?
I think you could also get a few chuckles by adding a "****" and a "Hmm" key. 
Done.Is there a way I can sign up to be notified if/when this set goes up for sale? I don't follow these things closely, but would absolutely hate to miss out on this particular set.
