please consider another color for those accents... purple just aint doing it for me.

what about P3, or maybe a 3B?

I agree, that purple doesn't match. I would also suggest a deep tone of yellow, like N6.
I checked your opinion but I think that purple is better....sorry!

I actually think the purple works well with the colors.

Looks great!

+1 for the purple

I don't know what color is best. So maybe I have to delete the point color keycaps :(

Purple looks cold, and it is the exact opposite what I feel about this set IMO.

Questions:

-Why the numpad doesn't show the secondary legends? Is it on purpose or an oversight?
-Would you consider a RO1 F5-F8 strip? Some people like the F-row of one colour.
-Would you consider a NorDe kit?
-How about an Esc key in the accent colour?
-Can I suggest replacing the current backspace icon with a backspace arrow, like in this render?

Thanks.

-Purposed   /  not planed / MOQ is important. I think that this can't meet the MOQ / In this time, I don't have a plan. Maybe next GB will be added / considered but not sure.

I like the purple. Renders will show better how they look in a build. This set has me interested!

Don't add an additional color then, invert a mods color, and make it N9 on WS1 (or L9) because who says an accent key has to be colorful?  A nice warm white key will stick out and draw visual attention and look nice on the darker warm toned keyset.

Just wait for GMK Retro to run again--the burgundy color used in this IC was matched by GMK for that set originally.

GMK Retro has not been abandoned and might run on this site instead of massdrop with revised kits.

I like this set as is.

Looks beautiful, and red is my favorite color... there needs to be more keysets on this side of the color wheel...

Looks great!  Ever thought of using CP instead of WS1 for legends?  Would look super nice.

Very moody. I think a little pop of something could push this over the edge. Like a white esc or yellow enter.

I'm very surprised by how good this looks. The word "elegant" comes to mind.
There is no such thing as "too much orange."

Do you mean A vs B profile?  I personally hope it's not A profile, as it looks and feels awkward (to me).  It's also not compatible with most existing GMK RGB/CMYK add-ons and similar GMK kits.

I mean profile A indeed. It was initially offered along with the same profile B bottom row but, sadly, it looks like it was dropped.

Seems like the groupbuy is open in Korea and the price is 144 USD.
Am I right?  :p
