Just updated renders from GMK!

I love the set. It's simple and to the point whilst still being unique and interesting - and I'm usually not even a fan of blue on my keyboards. I'll definitely be buying one when you get the GB going.

I cannot get over how good this looks. This has been my dream keyset (the colorway is my personal favorite) and I'll regret it forever and ever and ever if I don't join.

Didn't even catch that. I agree; I hate "Ctrl" on the 1.5u mods.

All this time I've been paying attention to the colors. I have to now inspect the legends and actual cap options.  ;D

Fantastic render, full ISO-UK coverage! I will get one set for sure!

One minor point though, regarding the GMK render, it seems there are way too many R4 1u 'Code' keys? Surely we don't need 4 Code caps. Please change it back to 2x 1u Code and 3x 1u R4 blanks. Thanks!  :thumb:

I have to say, the icon-less keycaps are certainly unique, I would join with 2-3 sets

2 blanks and this set would be beyond perfect for me, however, since modifiers are N9, I guess I can use my existing Dolch Blank collection (I just wish I bought more at the time, as a lot of people were kind enough to sell the ones they don't use, from the Ivan's first Dolch GB)

Okay, finally got a chance to look over the mock-up. Still love the set, but here are some things I noticed/thought of:

- Is it possible to add F5-F8 and Prt Sc-Pause in GR1 to match the alphas? This way the blue ones won't look too out of place.
- The novelties are the only things that make this set "Squirtle," but if the novelties don't work out then the set doesn't really remind me of Squirtle. Maybe just name the set something else and have an easier time getting novelties?
- Surprised there are no Windows/Menu caps. Consider adding some, if at all for child packs.
- I just realized there are no icons. They look so weird as text-only, especially since there are other caps that have icons-with-text. I'm fine with the short Backspace as is, but I personally prefer the bigger arrow with the X inside.
- Any willingness to make the 7u bottom row R5?  :-*
- LED caps?

Is custom legend text something that happens with GMK sets? Perhaps change the text on Enter/Shift/Caps Lock/etc. to Pokemon moves or something, similar to how space-themed sets have their Overdrive buttons and such.

Maybe just have a custom escape or meta key by default, like JTK does.

Custom legends are possible, even with text, seeing that they are willing to do novelties. But this requires you pay for the tooling associated with this.

Custom keys are gonna be in a novelty pack as shown in the OP :D

Nope, but they are being refined now to be adjusted for their requirements. Wish I knew the specifications before I made the icons...

:D Romevi, the man with details. Here are your answers.

1. Sorry, but I won't be doing that this time :(. Trying to stick it with some blues.

2. Haha you gotta go back to OG Kanto Region Pokemon then. The novelties are : Bubble, Squad Glasses, Surf, and Shell :)

3. We can see that. Definitely a good consideration and that can be finalized as we can get closer. GMK is on break now so I'll have to wait for them :)

4. Icons are being added. That's an error.

5. Sorry not at this time :(. No R5 :( </3 sorry.

6. GMK doesn't make LED caps afaik.

They do pad-printing, which is what I assumed this set was going to go with. Otherwise, is it possible to do texts with moves? If so, would those be pad-printed as well?

I have seen GMK LED caps but I never saw the GB so it could have been someone else making them.

Is there any chance that you could add a spacebar kit similar to what is going to drop in the near future for Carbon?

Rather than LED caps, I think the term you're looking for is windowed caps, which GMK does make. I'd be okay with having them, but they're not a dealbreaker for me and I'm not sure how much they add to the cost (if any, seeing as they're usually blanks).

Thanks for the response!

1. That's fine, but I guess it's the all-black row that clashes most. Most, if not all, Cherry sets have alternating top rows with the main modifier and alpha base colors; having that top row with no white would look off to me, but I guess we'll see.

2. OG Kanto is what I was thinking of, but when I look at the set I don't think of Squirtle at all, and I think it's because of the lack of brown. I know the novelties include it, but since the black dominates the modifiers I don't really think of the blue starter Pokemon. I don't want to change the colors at all, but rather the name. But it's totally your call.

3. Great!

4. Ah, thank goodness!

5. R5 > R4 for bottom row. >;)

6. They definitely do, but I think I meant to use the term "window" caps as mentioned above. I have them with my Skidata set!

Please don't take these as negative criticisms but as mere suggestions from one user. As I've said, I love this set and already have planned to put aside money for the  GB.

- Is it possible to add F5-F8 and Prt Sc-Pause in GR1 to match the alphas? This way the blue ones won't look too out of place.
- The novelties are the only things that make this set "Squirtle," but if the novelties don't work out then the set doesn't really remind me of Squirtle. Maybe just name the set something else and have an easier time getting novelties?
- Surprised there are no Windows/Menu caps. Consider adding some, if at all for child packs.
- I just realized there are no icons. They look so weird as text-only, especially since there are other caps that have icons-with-text. I'm fine with the short Backspace as is, but I personally prefer the bigger arrow with the X inside.
- Any willingness to make the 7u bottom row R5?  :-*
- LED caps?

:D Romevi, the man with details. Here are your answers.

1. Sorry, but I won't be doing that this time :(. Trying to stick it with some blues.

2. Haha you gotta go back to OG Kanto Region Pokemon then. The novelties are : Bubble, Squad Glasses, Surf, and Shell :)

3. We can see that. Definitely a good consideration and that can be finalized as we can get closer. GMK is on break now so I'll have to wait for them :)

4. Icons are being added. That's an error.

5. Sorry not at this time :(. No R5 :( </3 sorry.

6. GMK doesn't make LED caps afaik.


Thanks for the response!

1. That's fine, but I guess it's the all-black row that clashes most. Most, if not all, Cherry sets have alternating top rows with the main modifier and alpha base colors; having that top row with no white would look off to me, but I guess we'll see.

2. OG Kanto is what I was thinking of, but when I look at the set I don't think of Squirtle at all, and I think it's because of the lack of brown. I know the novelties include it, but since the black dominates the modifiers I don't really think of the blue starter Pokemon. I don't want to change the colors at all, but rather the name. But it's totally your call.

3. Great!

4. Ah, thank goodness!

5. R5 > R4 for bottom row. >;)

6. They definitely do, but I think I meant to use the term "window" caps as mentioned above. I have them with my Skidata set!

Please don't take these as negative criticisms but as mere suggestions from one user. As I've said, I love this set and already have planned to put aside money for the  GB.

Haha it isn't negative :) I can tell you're very passsionate about this. Oh and I thought you meant backlit ones. I think of those caps as "windowed caps". lol.

:D glad to have you on board romevi

Using CR (black), CP (white) and V4 (blue). All keys here are identical to GMK Hyperfuse, the best in my opinion.

Show Image


Replaced CP with U9.

U9 is light gray, which gonna look horrible on most white especially cream white keyboard. CR is a good choice while i think WS1 is always the best choice cause it's purer.

Not identical to hyperfuse at all, totally definitely legends color

Are two 7u space bars in the render of the main set? Is it an error? or you meant 6, 6.25 and 7u space bars?

Good spot. I think the bottom one is supposed to be a 6u.

Haha I noticed that a while ago after I posted the updated render & I asked for a fix on that :).

Add the Windows key and Im in!

Unfortunately, I won't be adding that. Trying to stay impartial to OS D: // btw I use Win&OS X, but OS X more these days because hackintosh.

I don't suppose you could make a small pack that includes the windows key/other keys that people are requesting? If it doesn't hit moq then it doesn't hit moq but at least we would have a chance at the few keys we might want. Either way, the set is shaping up very nicely.

Extremely fair point.

Can you list what sizes you'd want the win pack?

2x 1u &  2x 1.25u?.

I've seen a lot of support for a classic windows key logo so I think that's the way to go.

You may consider as well to take advantage of the new diamond legends for 1.25 and 1 units key caps.

I would use diamonds but I don't feel like it fits the theme unfortunately. :(

The alternative keys are already the novelties so we'll see about the win pack.

+1 for win pack!  :thumb:

I want 1.25u but having 1u as well would be a plus!

A little dismayed by the lack of f1-f4 f9-f12 keys to match the alphas.
Would like to  see the blue arrow keys have the dolch color pack rounded triangle style arrows.
Will buy regardless.

+1 for the 1.25u and 1.u Windows pack. It was taken out of Plum unfortunately, but I really like the contrast (icon against the control/alt text) and accuracy (what the key says, the key does) of the Windows keys.

Yeah I think that would be nice. My vote is for the classic windows key but when it comes down to it I don't mind which one it is as long as there is one. Thanks for the awesome work man!

Pokemon released between 1996-1999. Therefore, I think the Win95/98 logo would be most appropriate. ;)

That just reminds me, isn't N9 the Dolch base colour? Maybe we can have Sky Blue Dolch to compliment last year's Sky Dolch!  :p
