So it's essentially GMK Bleached with colourful black mods.
This is a very simple set inspired by the original GMK Monochrome
Maybe you could offer just the mods for people that already have white sets.

Honestly agree. Very pretty set but standalone mods would make this much more interesting.
Why not call the set Multichrome? “Colorchrome” translates to “colorcolor”, which doesn't make a lot of sense. The idea behind the name “Monochrome” is that it means “single color” (black). In this case, you're using multiple colors — ergo, Multichrome.
Edit: Polychrome also works, if you don't want to mix your Latin and Greek word roots. That being said, both “polychrome” and “multichrome” exist as actual English words. I think Multichrome has the clearest association to Monochrome out of all of these options.
The color green is noticeably absent. Especially when put up against the Colorchrome logo on the deskmat which has green at the end.

The white mods are a good idea! Might get them to pair with my Monochrome set.
Thanks for including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn.
i like the white mods kit, but it would be nice to have a more even spread of colours on it, currently it favours red. id like more greens
Thank you, very glad to hear! :thumb: I know you usually have strong opinions on kits, anything else you can see that is missing in the current main base kit? I know we need to add a 5 for numpad with a ¨nipple¨.

:D Yeah, I'm sorta “known” for my strong opinions on kitting. It's always done with the good of the set in mind, though.
Honestly, the kits here look pretty good, I'd be hard pressed to find anything major that's wrong. There's only a few small things that I would change (some of this is nitpicking):
- The biggest one is that I'd drop the mod-colored R1 1u \|. See here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=103904.msg2903219#msg2903219).
- This also means dropping the the green-legend R1 1u \| from the white mods kit.
- A second 2.25u Shift would be nice to have for 660 support.
- This is down for personal preference, but consider using Super or System/Sys (molds exist) instead of Code.
- Namely, I don't like how you get a repeated capital C in Control, Code. Together with Caps, it makes the left side of the board feel a bit too C-heavy, if that makes sense.
- Code in and of itself doesn't make much sense as an OS/system key legend, in my opinion. See here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101960.msg2803194#msg2803194) and here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104460.msg2870032#msg2870032).
- I get to have those System/Super keys that I never got in Monochrome :thumb:
- I think using Fn instead of Tab for the R3 1.25u 40% key might be a tad better since it's more versatile. I'm not a 40% user myself, but I've seen people ask for this before. Apparently not everyone uses Tab in that spot, and Fn is more generic. 40% users, please correct me if I'm wrong.
- Are the R1 yellow PgUp, Home keys intended for 1800/CP support? Cause that's already covered by the red ones. If you want the keys above the numpad to be yellow, you should also add yellow R1 PgDn, End; otherwise, the keys are going to go: red–yellow–red–yellow.
- You might want to consider removing the numpad 00 key. Not commonly seen nowadays.
We are working on a 40s/small spacebars kit with regards to Fn instead of tab r3 1,25uAlright, that should take care of it.
The R1 PgDn was intended for certain 75%, where people want pg up on the top. Not for 1800, 1800 should be covered as far as I know? I have gone over most common layouts I think?I really don't think this is common enough to warrant including those keys. I don't think I've ever seen a layout like that in actual use (please prove me wrong if you have), and either way, it's limited to 75% keyboards without top row blockers, which are becoming less popular.
The numpad 00 key I might consider replacing with the 5 with "bump"The existing numpad 5 key appears to be barred, so you may want to consider making the second one scooped.
I also removed the 6u spacebar, as I dont really think 660 support is warranted, these days most 660s also have support for 6,25 and split shifts, atleast that was my original thought process. I might consider adding this again. Both keys were originally included, but I wanted to trim down the huge basekit.Fair enough. Although, 6u isn't used just on 660 boards, but also 60% and 75% (e.g. 7V). As for 660s, I don't think many people use split Shifts from what I've seen, at least as far the most recent 660 boards go (primarily looking at the Volcano660 Discord, but also recent Clueboards, plus FC660M/Cs are still popular). I personally use both split Shifts on my Volcano, but that isn't common by any means.
Aaand, unfortunately, I think Code is here to stay, it is my favourite legend. But, will have it up for consideration.I tried :D
;D ;D ;D
When will you show vendors?

Hey Konstantin,
I have been thinking about this for a while, and realised a mod colored \| is something I need on most of my TKLs that I build with split BS, without it I have to use a spare key from the nav cluster to double up with them. IMO it is needed for the V(white alphas and dark mods) split bs creates. And for the white kit same goes there, its perfect for split BS TKLs with colored legends mods. I might consider putting them into the compatibility kit instead though :)
so is there a f13 or not?

The rama caps are amazing!
Was wondering if the rama O in the picture would be produced as well?
Is the rama O a low profile keycap?

Will the PVD coating be a different set of colors to set it apart from the Vaperwave PVD X Rama Cap?

Hey guys,The icon mods also come with keys that already in the base kit? Like ctrl code alt and the f keys?

Whoa this is a really freaggin beautiful set! So Im rather new to this hobby and site, so forgive me for the stupid question; has the GB already run or where can I sign up for it? I reckon I have to buy it via mykeyboard, but I havent found it there :/
Is it possible to add support for South Europe in the Kit? (Portuguese)
Patiently waiting :)
Can't wait to see this hit GB!
Any chance for Icon accents please? Would love Icon accents for the icon kits please!
I'm might be in the minority, but I would like a windows icon instead of code, or maybe in one of the other kits.Windows icon is looked down on this hobby, they are replaced with code or sys, so people can use with multiple OS I assume like Mac and Linux as well.

Really really excited for this set. However, i just realized, i have sooooo much unused numpad sets here. LOL. I only got a few that don't have numpad included.
I think offering number keys on a separate add on should be an option, it would also make the base kit cheaper if you remove the inclusion of numpad. Have you thought about that option?
The description says basic Alice support, any chance of including spacebars for that? Or are you thinking basic as in using other keys?
Rama caps are amazing!
Kitting is getting a massive re-work as we speak :) Will update everything shortly.
So no standalone black mods kit? That would have been awesome, as both the black and the white base color mods can be mixed and matched with a ton of other kits.
No black icon mods? No reason to buy it any more :-(
Just one question, its now 1am on 5th march here in germany, the GB starts today. Want this one to make it my first ever keycaps set but the homepage says "out of stock" already, is it now all gone or didn't it start yet?
It has not started yet, it will be an unlimited pre order. Check in again in a few hours and I am sure its live.
