I... what?What do you mean?
I'd like to preface this by saying I know next-to-nothing about mech keys nor design. These are more like ideas than helpful advice, probably.
Based on the renders and visuals in general, this feels more inspired by casino tables than playing cards. Which is completely alright if that's what you're going for, but I think being stuck in the middle kind of hurts the coherence of the theming. If it were inspired by playing cards, I'd expect more black-on-white and red-on-white caps, along with the actual suits somewhere (four suits on the four arrow keys maybe?). If it were inspired by casino tables, it could lean more heavily into that identity (dice pips somewhere? maybe white-on-green or yellow-on-green to match the deskmat, though I guess that wouldn't be great for contrast).
And maybe the text-based novelties could use more variation like "BLUFF" and "CALL" instead of just "DEALER" (again, if that's what you're going for).

About the design theme. I made a design about poker (specifically about this game), but I was wrong in choosing a name for this.

Not a huge fan of GMK, but the base kit colors are excellent. Tip: make an actual link for the IC form, can’t click it on mobileThank you!
GLWIC!!
I think that people are a little hung up on the name, which indicatively, I will agree, playing cards evoke a "White, Red and Black" standard colorway to most people.
(That said, I see that you've already said you had Poker in mind, so perhaps, "GMK Poker" or "GMK Casino"?)
I do think that the colorway for the alphas is a bit much, though, I can understand from the vision why you'd choose them.
Perhaps you might consider an earlier comment about white and black (or off-white and black) to represent dice?
Or you could do a Deskmat/Mods/Novelties release? Maybe even use the green as an alt-alphas kit? (In smaller production to limit on costs)
Just some food for thought!
As far as I can tell with most feeler IC, there are some kitting tweaks that could be done. (Namely support for the second "b" from my at-a-glance look)
The novelties are banger. I like them a lot. Like a LOT. They really bring home the casino vibe and I am HERE for it.
I'm interested in seeing where this one goes! Keep it up and GLWIC!
Personally I’d redesign the desk at so that the outlines match the size of cards. It doesn’t look large enough and too round right now.
poker yeah more like poke my eyeballs out
I really like the idea, but the green is unfortunately too bright for my taste. The novelties are cool, though. So many cool things are possible with this theme (or a theme of card games in general). Good luck with the IC!1 comment is suddenly representative of an entire site. relaxpoker yeah more like poke my eyeballs out
This kind of mean-spirited comment is why Geekhack has a bad rep, tbh. Just entirely unnecessary and not constructive in the slightest.

That's where you ****ed up[US]:KonoStore
add pink spacebar 6.25u and 7u in to spacbar kit ?Yes, we wil add
Matcha mocha better watch out
This is such a disappointing use of this theme, poker shouldn't be the name for this set as jokers and dice aren't used in any of the major variants of poker.
The green doesn't remind of the felt at all, and a lot of casinos and online rooms no longer have green felt as the default. Also not having white for most normal decks or if not wanting to do that using the typical colours on any 4 colour deck.
I will echo the sentiments of others surprised it got picked up in this state it needed some changes.
Jesus christ, how tf does a vendor like Kono take something like this to run? There's a 1% chance this set hits MOQ, I wish people would just stop posting ****, first GMK Matcha Mocha, then GMK Iconographic, now this... When will people and vendors learn to say no to garbage.Kono picked up gmk twilight as well.. 150 usd base kit xd
New comer here! If I wanna buy this keycap, any group buy that I can join? Thanks!Don't buy terrible keysets
Just in case you didn't hear the news. This set has been cancelled. I'm sure this was a big shock to everyone on here. Such a great looking set with nothing wrong with the kitting. Running on the best vendor out there too, with the best prices.
