[IC] GMK Metropolis - (2.28 - Updated Proxies info/prices) | GB Launches 3/25!

[Puddsy]

This is dope. I think I'd prefer icon mods to straight text on this one, though. The colors are great.

[bloos]

I'd love to see a render with the midnight mods

I will see what I can do!

Nice looking set! I'd almost want this in SA (or ABS MT3) over Cherry/GMK.

same. But the set is dope regardless!

[AlcoholEnthusiast]

Any chance of an icon mods kit? I agree, I think it would look really good with this set.

[Myth]

+1 for icon mods

I've gotten multiple questions on icon mods, so i figured it best to share my thoughts on them. Because this set uses two colors on the mods, and the alphas are quite vibrant, I think icon mods would push the set overall into feeling a bit too busy and chaotic. While I do enjoy icon mods on other sets, I think the using of text mods is what adds a bit of counterbalance visually.

That being said, the kits are still being worked on and I've gotten a lot of great feedback in the survey! Thank you SO much everyone that has filled it out. One of the most resounding pieces is the addition of more novelties, and broken into a separate kit. Seeing as the theme of the novelties is around signage, I see a lot of similarities between that and the icons typically used in keysets. In working towards a full novelties kit, I am going to explore options around making a few "novelty icon modifiers" for some of the most used keys.

I hear you, but if you kept it simple and minimalist I think it could really add something to the set for sure. something along the lines of the miicons (same simplictdy) I think would really fit the feel of these keys. Would be a ton of work though.

[Audiobs]

incredible dark theme, I am in!

[Okonomiyaki#2832]

Interesting, but am concern with the colours. Would need more time and verification on the sampling phase to ensure an incident like violet tendencies won't happen again.

[THRILLHOIAF]

I've already done the work on matching to Pantone. It matters.

lol

Totally understandable. I'm working on an update currently that will show the Pantone chips in different lighting along with popular keycap colors to give a better idea. Once it gets to the sampling phase from GMK i will be doing the same thing with the ABS samples

[dyka.tran]

Since the Sanctuary set this is the first time a set makes me go "Hmm.."

Agree with you on the text mods. I think the limited use of colour is a point of strength for this set. Icon mods will add a lot of colour and make it a feel bit heavy. Great work!

Not sure if this has been mentioned before or not, but the colors look very similar to a set that won MD's contest. (I can't recall the name)

Sure.  DSA 2077.  But that set has funky ugly alphas and its a different profile.  And the base color here is a dark blue, not black

Nah, that's way closer to dsa grooves colors than to these, Imo. Completely different sets.

I like this! And I like having either all text or all icon mods - most kits that have a mix, I find weird.

[Etherealsound]

I told myself no more keysets. This is gonna change that.

[gasp]

That deskmat, those new novelties hnnnng

Wasn't an initial fan of the idea of icon mods, still prefer text, but I like how the icon mods turned out. I know it's a bit early to say, but do you know around what phase of 2019 the group buy will open? So I can try to plan my spending accordingly, cause there's no way I'm missing this one 

[blizzara01]

That deskmat 

[Ensaum]

That deskmat 

I let out an audible "Oof" when I saw it. I'm starting to get into collecting desk pads as much as keycap sets, lol. Super stoked for this drop in general nephlock 

[euphxenos]

Please consider adding an R3 PgUp and R4 PgDn (used in some 65% layouts, such as used in the Tada68 and White Fox).

[MFahim]

this is sick lol, love the colors

[dantambok]

awesome mat! Also, i hope you would also consider zfrontier(english) as a vendor as it cuts shipping costs a lot for us down here 

[AlcoholEnthusiast]

love the mats and the new sets, i would likely be in on all of it

[Vireca]

Deskmat is amazing, looks so cool

[laserbeamspewpew]

Would love a blue escape and a yellow return key. Basically like what you have now in the base kit, but flip the colors on these two keys.

[shyBravado]

In love with those novelties and deskmat. <3

[mimalik]

I know I may in minority here, but any chance of a separate alpha kits with English + Japanese sublegends. Only because colors are so vivid here and I think it will look really cool.

Just to make it funkier, use 179C color for legend.

[mrpetrov]

Absolute must have for me now. I haven't ever bought a dark keycap set before but this has jumped near the top of my queue with Bento and Jamon. Really looking forward to seeing samples.

[Jkush463]

v excited for this, what a great set.

[PotatoTM]

This set has really grown on me over time, didn't think I would need any more desk pads but it's starting to look like il need to find room for one more!

[rondg]

The icon mods look really nice! And the mat too!!! When is the GB?

[Ivanddt]

Really liking this set, but as someone intending to get GMK Calm Depths, the alphas seem to be an exact match for both sets. Would anyone get both Calm Depths and Metropolis? The mods in this base kit and the novelties might be too good to pass up!

[saucybulgogi]

this looks real good. definitely gonna be watching this

[StrangPrisoner]

Definitely in, this looks great!

[Etherealsound]

Deskpad and keyforge collaboration? Can this get any better?

[titanium]

Thank you for including 1.5u novelties, this set looks amazing.

[dimo]

What color is the base color? Dark blue? The render looks like a black.

It'll be hard to match that with most boards :c

base color is a blue-black. i'll be posting a chip comparison soon, but it's pretty dark. Should still match nicely with black/gray/silver boards, as well as blue boards.

[dantambok]

Are you considering zF as a vendor?

[leexy]

I second this

Proxies are still being discussed and figured out, but keep an eye on the updates! Once they become confirmed the thread will be updated

I third this! We're still working on a full run of renders, but rest assured a full midnight kit will be present among them

[rondg]

Is the orange color of  the R4 End key intentional?
