Love the colors, like the low contrast for what ever that's worth.
Base kit 110 or less for USA if you pull the numpad.
Yeah the vendors gotta make some buck, hobby is only growing!Love the colors, like the low contrast for what ever that's worth.

The only set to do that so far(that I have data on, correct me if I'm wrong) has been 9009; It used stock colors, had what I'd call almost bare minimum compatability for the base, and was priced "at high MOQ" which I take to mean 500 instead of 150/250. Meanwhile look at stuff like Camping and Crimson Cadet which were both able to hit $115 *with* a numpad but custom colors. Separating out numpad is just increasing the overall cost of the set due to GMK's production having a per-kit baseline cost added on, and hitting under $110 is going to be difficult unless you keep a super slim kit and price for high MOQ which may not be preferable to slightly higher cost but better support.
Huh, not sure how I feel about the legends being white; the inspiration for this set uses white as an accent color and black for text to ensure readability, but doubleshot molding with black text is going to ruin the delicacy of that balance due to the typeface’s properties. This seems like a case for dye-sub, to me, but best of luck running this!
Set is lovely but I really dislike text mods. If that is not set in stone and/or you could make a cherry icons kit akin to Space Cadet that'd be great.
Actually quite like the colorway here, but I'd to see some more masculine novelties standing out more. Maybe a bike instead of a vespa, or a yacht as an example. I think the ring and lady glasses are bang on and I'm guessing the colorway a a whole is a nod to Tiffany?
Either way, looking great. Going to be hard not to cop!
What are the color codes?
All that kept the base kit to under 110 had high MOQ, striker Jamon minimal 9009. Cafe and phosphorus put novelties in the base, ok fine. Firefly has the base price at 120$. Eclipse never made the higher price drops.
Novelkeys prices off of 500 MOQ. Isn’t just them though, I bought sandstorm for Switchmod day 1 for 122$, and voyage (custom colors) from someone (cannonkeys?) for 123. So everyone can price the sets under 125 with the numpad.
Ultimately, some designers would rather save 2/3 of the buyers 5-8$ and charge +25 to the numpad users on a regular base (minimal was ~140 to me) which is their decision. It’s then on me to: 1) not buy those sets 2) buy numpads on mechmarket if they interest me (I often use 2 just because of work so I’ll grab an extra) 3) find an ISO friend who wants just those caps so I can keep my numbers

Love the color, but I can't even see the legends on the renders haha. Maybe it's just my ****ty work monitor, I'll peep it when I get home

All I can say for now is the white is WS2.
What? Is the teal going to be a new color or not?
Novelties seem very tacky for something that is supposed to exude luxury imo. Colors are cool though.

I think they fit the theme, it makes sense if you've ever been around a luxury shopping block although that would depend on your area too.
I really only see Vespas around there and the gift boxes are like Tiffany boxes and so on.
The camera novelty I think could be changed to look more like a Leica rather than what resembles a Fuji X100 though.
What would you consider a signature Leica? I did the X100T (nice catch) because I personally own that camera and thought it was pretty cute.
Thank you for this set :)
Suggestions/Observations:
- The glasses could match a certain iconic style:

- I like the idea of a vintage bike over a Vespa. Scooters are a staple and not a finer thing to own in South Asia and India...
- Can you add "PgUp" Row 3 and "PgDn" Row 4 to the base kit?
Keyboard guys and their feminine colors...
Keyboard guys and their feminine colors...first rose gold and now tiffany blue? stop giving the nice colours to the women, let us men have some too

Where are R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn, i'm literally shaking rn
Good base kit other than that :)
The ultimate Luxury combo: This + White/Frosted acrylic case + Tealios.Now you can change that to turquoise tealios, and you'll be set. ;D

The scooter is actually one of my favorite novelties, perhaps western and european luxury is more what I had in mind.

As for the pgup/dn it''ll be considered though few other people have been requesting those. Keep an eye out for updates.Keyboard guys and their feminine colors...
If you don't get the novelties, who's to say?
Glad to see a date and have the opportunity to join this GB! Gotta be honest though I very much prefer the previous kit breakdown but I understand why the changes were made, I hope the reflection on the price isn't too large that it ends up having the opposite effect than what was intended. Rama cap looks a tad dark, is this due to limitations with colours that can be anodized or is it just the render? I'm a fan of the simple desk mat.
Is it possible to do e-coat white and pantone enamel fill for the symbol? I think a lot of us would love that.
Nice update! I was hoping to hear a GB date soon, Feb. is great!
The turquoise looks nice, is the white still WS2?

That was the first intention. Rama does not offer such thing anymore as of 2020.Nice update! I was hoping to hear a GB date soon, Feb. is great!

Dang, did they say why? Gmk peach blossom got theirs.
How about adding alice support in base like lux

or a b key in the spacebars?
Abec13-thank you for pointing this out. that's really interesting. Is it...5$? for it there but then less in the base kit?
The kit design here is great. To those looking to create a GMK set, this is how you make an affordable AND wide compatibility kit. Great work Abec!

Has pricing been announced somewhere? Need to know how affordable I need to make everything else next month :)
More renders added.
Would y'all prefer a E-White RAMA cap or the one shown? Unfortunately the MOQ system for RAMA has changed, it's become one or the other.

Didn't know there was E-White option for the RAMA.it's on it's way!
Current teal color does not look enticing. I would love to see a E-White version.
The White RAMA Cap Render has been added. The other one has been removed. The white RAMA cap has a lower MOQ, this should make it easier on our vendors.Show Image(https://imgur.com/vuda67U.jpg)

What are the dimensions of the space bar?
Sorry, in the base kit and spacebar kit.What are the dimensions of the space bar?
I'm not sure what you're asking, which spacebar?

Are they 6, 6.25, off center? etc.
I assume they are the same as most GMK runs, where you have multiple lengths and off sets, etc.
But selfishly, trying to make sure this is 6u for my HHKB.
As an ortho user, I was excited to see the 40’s kit fold into the base. However, it leaves me with a question regarding the space bar. Genuinely asking, does it create too much complexity to add a single 2U space bar to the base along with the 40’s? Either way, stoke for the set!! Thanks!!

As it goes with any compatibility, it's always the question of just "this key" or "that key"
Extra 225 shift for 660, 3 sets of pgup, pgdn, (for some sets, not this one) 1.5u Super and Fn for HHKB/Tsangan, etc etc. I won't say that it would up the cost too much to add a 2u, but some Ortho users like just 1u. Granting one would ask for the other. Then some asked for 225, 275 in base kit as well.
Seeing these massive 40s kits that rarely make MOQ leaves the vendors begging GMK to overlook the shortcomings. For this reason, keys like ISO are put into base kit because they wouldn't survive alone. So my strategy here is to put the basic 40s in base so that they simply exist. The spacebar compatibility has been separated to another kit because generally that's where the odd bars go. This promotes sales of the spacebars kit while also letting the majority users get away with not paying for that less common compatibility.
Perhaps if the numpad was split from the base kit, there would be room for bars (reference analog dreams) but the buyout power/desire of my vendors is not at the level or marketing reach of someone like Novel Keys.
I offer you the alternative of simply selling what you don't need. I've done that with a few sets where I only need the 40s keys, 225-275, and I sell the alternatives.

Superbly answered! Well done. So much better than the usual "no" answer.
I know it’s a sample but is that basically the final product for the mat?
Do we have images of the cables coming soon? Or prices?
I cannot explain how hyped I am for this set lol

That is basically final, yesm.
Prices for kits later this week.
I'll ask candy keys about cable photos/how they want to do that.
Thanks for the support!

Oh dang! There's a cable option? Awesome! Am I allowed to ask who you're collaborating with for the cables? Hype!
I'm so excited for this and all the collabs. The things you create are gold abec.
I know I’m too late to the ic here but did anyone recommend a shiny “silver” rama artisan for this? Also a white and robins egg alpha set? Still picking this up when it drops.
