Damn !
Usually I'm not a big fan of green but this reminds me some very nice childhood memories.
(Un)fortunately for me it's a GMK set, so I'm out, but GL with this set, it's a fancy keyboard «bomber» jacket !

On the subjective matters: IMHO the two tones of green go well together; the orange clashes (in the jacket itself, the orange is placed upon the insides entirely and does not interact, so to speak, with the outer greens).

As per layout:
- Atlantis ISO — go full English (USA) or full English (UK), or both, but avoid the Atlantis ISO mistake.
- No numpad? If you choose not to include it, say so (and why).
- No split space bars? (as above)
- I dig that you have Super and Alt both in 1.5U and 1.0U. That said, no 1.0U Ctrl keys?

I just started learning how to use blender I definitely need some help with renders.

This is a work in progress and I would love to hear your opinions. The set is currently using text only mods but I'm open to changing this.

I am quite new to the community, this is my first contribution. I hope you guys like the idea.

i agree with all your points but he's new and probably just wanted to get out what he has so far to see if there was any interest.

side note i agree with text only mods. not enough sets with them. they look much cleaner personaly but i don't have a preference, so long as they aren't icon only mods like in the gmk masterpiece ic *vomit*

I appreciate you pointing these things out I will work on solving them tomorrow. As I said this is a work in progress.

You're right; I was a tad too taciturn in my first message.

I can live with text mods for everything... except the arrow keys. The legends "up", "down", "left", "right" strike me as excessive.

farmisen · « **Reply #13 on:** Sat, 02 November 2019, 06:39:11 »

This is very nice and makes me consider getting a new olive-ish keyboard that would work better w/ theses kind of tones. Ergo support would be appreciated and blank alphas would be super but anyway I'll be definitely in for one if it becomes a reality in any form close to what I am looking at now.

I suggest doing a render on a different background color, because the background is already olive green it makes the whole set look gray.

Also text arrows are pretty cool and I think they fit this aesthetic.

I was thinking the same thing, working on this now. Thanks for the suggestion and compliment

Did this concept get abandoned? I think it’s really cool — I’d love to see it get developed further!

Fredington · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 11 May 2020, 09:49:15 »

Zipper novelty could be nice.

MadsMe · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 11 May 2020, 10:11:08 »

Wow... This is... Very cool looking!!

Grey_Warden · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 18 July 2020, 15:18:05 »

I love this! Definitely keep the orange, the orange really makes it for me, it's giving me Masterchief vibes. I would absolutely buy one for sure!
