[GB] GMK Black & Gold (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
« on: Thu, 27 February 2025, 11:42:57 »
GMK Black & Gold


LINKS










• INSPIRATION •

Black and gold is a simple but classic combination evoking luxury and elegance. Thus this timeless colourway serves as the basis of this keycap set which utilises GMK’s new metallic ABS material. Golden accents are included for high-end flair; whilst for the high rollers, novelty keycaps themed around Art Deco and Casino Royale are included for extra style points.

Groupbuy Date - 20th February 2025 to 20th March 2025

• KITS •

Base
[Typical GMK Base Kit. Covers 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, with terminal ISO, F13, Tsangan support, and minimal compatibility for some Alice, and split space layouts. 3-key 40s physical layout support included]


Art Deco Novelty
[Inspired by the geometric character of the Art Deco aesthetic that flourished in the 1920s. In its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress.]



Casino Royale Novelty
[Featuring classic card suit icons, for fans of card games, whilst also a nod to a great James Bold film.]


Add-Ons Kit
[Additional keys for further compatibility or variety, such as the classic Cherry icons, additional support for HHKB, Windowed Keys (legends are UV-print*), stepped Ctrl icon key, less utilised Shift keys (1.50u, 1u, 2u),  CR black spacebars (1.00u x 2, 1.25u x 1, 1.75u x 2, 2.00u x 1, 3.00u x 2, 6.00u x 1),  and R3 up arrows.]


Accent Spacebars Kit
[Besides the usual support for split space keyboard layouts, these gold bars include 2 x 1.75c and 2 x 2.00c bars for additional 40s/ortho support.

Disclaimer: Renders shown are for illustrative purposes and may not perfectly display the actual colours. Please refer to the actual samplephotos below to see the real colours and texture of existing GMK metallic ABS keycaps.  Do note that the process of creating metallic ABS involves special powders that are subject to the various injection flow patterns in each cap, creating a unique (and unpredictable) result. There will also be ultimately inherent limits in emulating the lustrous and shiny appearance of metal in plastic.

Thanks Dvorcol for the graphs tracking the sales!

Just wanted to drop a quick reminder that we're nearing the final week of GB sales, and that Artkey Universe is also doing a limited raffle artisan keycap collaboration called 'Royal Flush':

Thanks! That song is always a vibe. Reminds me of Rush Hour hahah. I would concede that this set feels like a spiritual successor of GMK Lux.


Who will be the main vendor? written in the banderole.
Lead vendor is Divinikeys. I'm amidst designing the banderole, however I've personally never considered the vendor logo/name a particular significant design element of the packaging for keycaps.

Super Pumped to go in on this one for sure. Hopefully picking it up later this week! Glad to see the numbers are looking good!
Thanks for the support :)
