I love everything about this! GLWIC 💖

Edit: in all seriousness, I wasn't in much of a position to push a GMK GB at the time I posted my IC, and I don't believe in flag-planting. However I do think my version is better, so I'd encourage you to consider using my colors instead of the ones you chose :p
very understated, very nice! definitely a classic and evocative combination of colors. glwic :thumb:Show Image(https://previews.123rf.com/images/alicjane/alicjane1710/alicjane171000248/87846545-fresh-flowers-of-lavender-bouquet-top-view-on-white-wooden-background.jpg)Show Image(https://www.familyhandyman.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/shutterstock_306019970-thistle.jpg?resize=768,768)

Please consider changing the R3 "#~" key to R3 "\|" key for a full basic ISO support. Also, iso enter novelties about a bouquet of lavender or orchid may be good since we're about to be in the season now and it matches the purple tone.
Are those RAL chips AND GMK samples??

I love the green and purple you've selected, but I'd be a bit nervous jumping on this with 4 custom colours. Wouldn't it be possible to use some of the standard GMK whites to cover the cream alphas and white mods? Makes it easier to mix and match sets + less colour matching required pre-production.
Wow this looks great! Colors work so well together... good luck with sale!
very nice!
those colors have to be picked from barney.
nonetheless it reminds me of gmk good kid which never came to fruition and the addition of the two off whites works really well!:]
I like the new kitting much more, specifically Option 2 as it is pretty close to what I wrote in the IC form.
That said, I would still love to see a green ANSI Enter in base.
If I'm not mistaken, the legend in the green arrows would be the lighter white, right? Which means an extra color in the kit just for those little legends. Instead, personally I would prefer to see purple small bars over green arrows.
Maybe a green version of 4 of the 1u novelties as well? So you can have 2 in each row, filling an XT column.
**** me, now I have to buy your set. Also, there's mistake on the R3 "\|" key, it is placed at R2 in the base kit.
The mod color chosen is extremely close to the alpha one. It's gonna be a real problem in color matching. Have you tried using another color for mod ((lighter purple) or (lighter green) or (the same green from alpha legend) or (even using the same alpha color for mod color with purple legend))?**** me, now I have to buy your set. Also, there's mistake on the R3 "\|" key, it is placed at R2 in the base kit.
Oh wow, completely glanced over that one! Thank you for the heads up, will fix asap and I'm glad you enjoy the changes :)

I did try both of your suggestions, but in the end this combination worked the best for me personally. I tried to keep the set pretty muted, so the vibrant green and purple were in the focus, not the creams. From what I've heard about the alpha color, it should be a bit darker in real life, but this I have yet to confirm myself as I don't currently have the RAL samples, sadly.
While not the same alpha and mod color you see now, you get the idea:Show Image(https://i.gyazo.com/88647832f0a5db8d413c1b216dd3a045.png)

I personally think having alpha color 2. 2.25, and 2.75u keys in the spacebar kit would work better than them being accent colors (im thinking about this in terms of an alice layout). Alternatively I have seen other sets include these keys in the base kit, which could allow the current spacebar kit to be the same and have those keys removed from the ortho kit. I guess this would make the base kit a bit more expensive, but would allow those using an alice layout to not have to buy an ortho kit for three keys.Yes, this option has been taken into consideration and is for sure a possible change in the future, tho it depends on a number of factors, a huge one being interest in the 40% kit. I wanted to avoid bloating the kits and as the base kit already includes partial support for Alice style layouts (with the included B, and modifier keys), I hoped this kitting might be a silver lining for both camps. Thank you for your feedback, I will definitely keep it in mind should the need for kit changes come in the future!
Love it :thumb:
me like
i really like this, colors work great.
Looks great! ;D
just saying, all of your renders say ASDFHG instead of ASDFGH. wonder how that happened
I like this new kitting, those green iso enter novelties :eek: . I'm gonna buy base, novelties and accent kit anyway :thumb:I'm really glad to hear that! :) Thank you!
EDIT: Also, added an updated IC Form with some of the changes introduced, please take your time to fill it! Thank you! :)
Changed the links and it should work fine now :thumb:EDIT: Also, added an updated IC Form with some of the changes introduced, please take your time to fill it! Thank you! :)
Seems like I have to select one of the Deskmats to be able to send that form. I really don't have an opinion on them and don't want to distort the stats for those who have and are interested in buying one.
Amazing update. Those ISO enters make me want to build an ISO board just to use them.Thank you :) Glad you like the changes.
magnifique, need I say more? Bravo.Thank you! :)
uararraddttndruapntpaI'll take that as a compliment haha
Stunning set. Great job on the base kit!Currently Norde kit is not planned, based on feedback I've received so far. Please fill out the IC form, tho. With enough interest it might happen :) Thank you, glad you like it!
Any chance for a Norde kit ?
I realized most of the time I am a bad word poster and i do not write anything very helpfulYou are not the only one that mentioned this. I tried it, but I really feel the change would make the set stand out a lot less. I do hope you might still end up enjoying it in the future. Every bit of feedback is welcome leafman, thank you <3
So For me to find this set perfect, i would change the mods to match the alpha colors, because I believe that when it is uniform color instead of Lightmod darkalpha It is nicer.
But that is the treeleaf's opinion and not everyone's opinion So I will shut up and Keep bad word posting
Both designs look good to me tho. ISO still looks way better ;DShow Image(https://i.imgur.com/PD5Qa6h.png)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/IsWixXx.jpg)
Hey folks, trying out this new format with updates. Hope this will make them easier to digest in the future.
I reworked the enter novelties as I felt it wasn't the best representation of what I wanted to achieve with it and I also found it lacking in terms of design, with it being basically the word 'flowers' written out in french.
Also, it fits better with the design language of the other novelties. I do hope you enjoy these changes!
In other news, I made some new renders with the GMMK Pro :)
Last but not least, please welcome iLumkb as the vendor for the Southeast Asia region and with that, I consider the vendors list complete! I'd like to thank all vendors and representatives for showing interest in the set and for being such good sports.
I'm really damn excited to get this set out to the people, however long that may be from now :)
Both designs look good to me tho. ISO still looks way better ;DI forgive you for simping for ISO :rolleyes:
I absolutely adore this set.Honestly you have a good point. The more I look at it the more it bothers me as well. I think if I replace the obelisk with something... wider, that should solve this problem. Thankfully Paris has plenty of beautiful stuff to choose from :) Thank you for the kind words.
One point on the deskmat design regarding composition balance, please consider swapping these two icons to give visual symmetry left to right. Or a different combination of swaps.
(Attachment Link)
amazing work on the color balance and iconography of this set. 10/10 for sure.
Everything is so beautiful! Can't decide which mat to get now..That's the sign of a healthy conscience. :D
Can't wait to get this set!
The sets are awesome, I like that the accents cover the arrows plus the spacebars. The novelties are awesome and the desk pads too.
I really prefer kiwoli's edit on the deskmat. Other than that this keyset is giving me big time feels. I love it.
The sets are awesome, I like that the accents cover the arrows plus the spacebars. The novelties are awesome and the desk pads too.
I'm thinking that if the novelty kit is too expensive after receiving quotes, you should remove both mod color of both ansi and iso enter and only leave the accent ones there.I'd put the pricing of the novelty kit somewhere between GMK Shashin and Agent 01. If prices are bloated -be it any of the kits- necessary changes will be made for sure.
Is this project still alive ?
Don't let it die please :)
Is this project still alive ?
Don't let it die please :)
Absolutely not! Unfortunately GMK is taking unusually long to get back to us with quotes and with the lack of substantial updates I decided to put the project on hold until I have at least a GB date. What we did receive however are some issues with some of the novelties that needed to be ironed out. Really small changes, nothing impactful on the overal design. (I’ll post a gif when I get back home) I’m waiting for the review of the updated novelties. Thank you for being patient, I’ll assure you we’ll get there soon(tm) :)
First time I see that kono prices are not crazily high. Did you lower your profit or did they really change?Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/lsJny7M.png)
Hey everyone!
I'm excited to announce that the set is officially arriving to a vendor near you on the 25th of January.
I'm sorry for the long wait time, but we had to wait an abnormally long time for quotes from GMK and I didn't want to post updates until we had some actual info to share.
You can look forward to a HIBI collab and the rest of the prices for the set in the coming weeks!
KONO prices:Show Image(https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/905181606933856328/908106710026186762/unknown.png)
Please keep in mind that prices may change, depending on exchange rates.
In the meantime you can check out the new renders I made for the set! (you can check out the rest on the bottom of the main post)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/lzHhtA8.jpg)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/UcdBROd.jpg)
See you on the 25th! :)
First time I see that kono prices are not crazily high. Did you lower your profit or did they really change?
You can look at gmk firefly R2 base kit size and price which is directly ran by Kono, provided that it's R2 (no new molds, all custom colors were matched).First time I see that kono prices are not crazily high. Did you lower your profit or did they really change?
I mean it's $167 for a full basekit. Not sure what your cutoff for "crazily high" is?

You ever compared kono with other vendors in term of pricings in general?You can look at gmk firefly R2 base kit size and price which is directly ran by Kono, provided that it's R2 (no new molds, all custom colors were matched).
So if $160 is "crazily high", how is $167 not? I don't think I'm following your logic here.
looking forward to the GB | kono prices are fine | jeffery epstein didnt kill himself |
:D
Definitely love the vibe here
You ever compared kono with other vendors in term of pricings in general?
You don't look at the size of the base kit? Firefly R2 base is way smaller than Fleuriste base. Also, base kit is base kit alone, don't add child kit to it and call it base kit.You ever compared kono with other vendors in term of pricings in general?
Yes - all their prices are crazily high, this one included. Which is why I was confused when you said that it wasn't. Then I was more confused when you gave Firefly R2 ($160 base kit) as an example of a set that was crazily high, because it was lower than this one. It just feels a little bit like you don't know what you're talking about. I'm not saying that's the case - just how it feels based on the multitude of contradictory statements you've made.
This is a nice set. I like the inverted beige vibe. But it feels like there are too many child kits here. The 40s kit will not make a 100 MOQ and should be replaced with 3-key 40s support in base.
Firefly R2 base is way smaller than Fleuriste base. Also, base kit is base kit alone, don't add child kit to it and call it base kit.
I don't think you understand what I've been trying to say.Firefly R2 base is way smaller than Fleuriste base. Also, base kit is base kit alone, don't add child kit to it and call it base kit.
So you're telling me that I should compare the size of one basekit to another when making comparisons. Then in your very next sentence, you're telling me not to make adjustments for base kits which are different sizes?
This set is comparatively very highly priced - there is no comparison you can make that changes that fact.
Core
The kit provides coverage for common layouts, including 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 660, Alice.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/J2xWPQs.png)
Numpad
Pretty self-explanatory, a simple numpad kit with accent options.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/oG2ReNC.png)
40s/Ortho
Provides coverage for the most common small form factor layouts including Van variants, Candybar, Whimsy, JD40/45 and Ortho variants.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/y4qCRCO.png)
It's priced reasonably with that number of keys and compatibility, Kono priced a smaller R2 Firefly Tkl base with even higher price even tho it's R2. If you compare 2 base kits, look at its version then its size then how many custome colors or molds. Fleuriste base is priced nicely tbh.
Fleuriste is priced lower than I expected at Kono, it's actually nicely priced. However, Firefly R2 is stupidly priced.It's priced reasonably with that number of keys and compatibility, Kono priced a smaller R2 Firefly Tkl base with even higher price even tho it's R2.

Yes. Both firefly and this set are overpriced. Kono hasn't changed and still routinely charges huge prices for the sets that they run. Glad you agree with me.

I really like the flair of this set! It is probably way too late to suggest something like this, but being a primarily "dark on bright" set, it could have been done in PBT. GKM lead times and prices with custom colors... I am a year in with GMK Stealth and production is still not on the horizon. :eek: ePBT would also allow lower MQOs for kits like NorDe, I assume.Absolutely! It's been three thirds of a year since the set entered IC and a lot of things changed since then. Some things I would do differently, some things the same but I wanted to get it done with GMK from the start so I just want to go through with that. Obviously I had no idea how complicated things will get (we had to wait an unusually long time to even get the quotes) but here we are :)

Thank you for the compliments and the feedback everyone! See you on the 25th!
Very few keycap sets hit that sweetspot inbetween a truly retro vibe, evoking memories of the IBMs, Dells & Apple vibes from the 80s like GMK 9009 or Sandstorm do. Or, the fresh looks ranging from either pastel to vivid like GMK Camping, Tuzi or Camping. This set, GMK Fleuriste does that! It hits that retro feel, while feeling updated n' fresh. Personally, only GMK Birch has also hit this sweetspot. Incredible color choices, with wonderful accent keys.That's a huge compliment, thank you! :D
As far as I know, the caps are still in the works. I need to talk to beancombo (creator of mozicaps) if he has progress on it, but I expect it to drop during GB. :)I really like the flair of this set!

No MOZIcaps then? :(
these are kits inspired by france and there is not even a layout azerty fr :(Unfortunately, based on the feedback I gathered, interest in a Norde kit was extremely low and mentions of french azerty layout even lower.

Despite the inspiration being Paris, I wanted the set to reach wider audiences, so I tried to communicate the inspiration through design.
I still hope you find something you like in the set. :)
