IDK- Poseidon
Hello, everyone! We are IDKeyboard, and today we’re excited to introduce a new keycap set designed by @XIAMU. Inspired by Greek mythology, this themed series features Poseidon, the god of the sea.


• INSPIRATION •

In ancient Greek mythology, Poseidon, one of the twelve Olympian deities, reigns over the seas and the mysterious underwater world. As the son of Cronus and Rhea, he wields immense power, stirring waves, summoning storms, and commanding marine life.


Often depicted as a long-haired figure holding a trident, Poseidon's image embodies mystery and strength, making him a revered god in Greek lore.

• KITTING •
[ The color scheme is based on N5 and V4 from the GMK color ring.
To select the perfect shade of blue, I collaborated with several factories and went through multiple rounds of sampling, creating over a dozen color samples. In the end, IDK's dye-sublimation quality proved to be the best, achieving the closest match to the GMK color ring. A heartfelt thanks to every creator who placed their trust in IDK.]
Base+Num
[ To better align with the theme, some mod keys were renamed to ocean- and Poseidon-related terms, while keeping the initial letters consistent whenever possible.]
Novelties
[ The character design process spanned a year and a half, a duration so long that every time the author revisited the work, new issues would emerge, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction. Over the course of this period, about 30 different designs were created.
After extensive refinement and multiple iterations, the final character design was carefully selected and polished into what is presented today.]

[ The first row of 1u keycaps features designs of a crown, Medusa, a trident, a seahorse, a sea dragon, and a conch.
For the two Enter keys, I depicted Poseidon himself—a near-impossible challenge for someone like me with almost no drawing experience. Amazingly, this section became the highlight of the entire design process. Every time I look at the final product, it feels like all the effort was completely worthwhile.]
Thank you all for your support! Stay tuned as IDK and XIAMU will bring more original designs to you in the future.
