Someone more knowledgeable than me can confirm one way or the other, but I don't believe you can use other people's trademarks on your keycaps (e.g.: the Mercedes logo, AMG logo...etc.).

You can if they give you permission in writing.

Love it - I had this idea a couple years back but never went further.
I think mine used the green/blue a bit more prominently, but makes sense this way.
Personally would add 77 and 6 for novelties too.
"Valtteri, it's James" as a novelty would be amazing :D
Maybe a helmet too?
The color of alpha is so cool.
Love the metal touch.
Any chance we could have silver/gray modifiers?
gmk delta?
This set 1-2.
Looks awesome, and im loving the Petronas green accents.
I played around with and IC'd a Ferrari sf90 themed set a while ago but just wont have the time to work on it + I think the colors are too bright for mass appeal - but these are much tamer and very nice.
Best of luck getting the necessary permission for the licensing to fulfill your vision!dsa torpeed.
I tried something similar a couple of years ago... (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91085.msg2475660#msg2475660)
I'm going to start this off by saying that I have never designed run an interest check before for anything. However, I felt that this is just too good a concept to pass up, so I'll start here. All feedback is appreciated, as well as any offers of assistance!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/Vjo6QL4.jpg)

Color assignment is currently uncertain, but the only custom color for now is the Petronas background color/accent background which is Pantone 321 C. The black is CR, the white is WS1, and the gray is 2B. The colors are actually based on the cars from 2013-2018, not the current car, which has more complex coloring and textures. The gray and black scheme should suit a variety of boards.
I am getting in contact with Mercedes-AMG F1 in order to determine whether some of their designs can be licensed for use as novelties. Personally, I'm not big on novelties, so I only have a few ideas:
- The Mercedes roundel
- AMG logo
- 44 (Lewis Hamilton's car number), 77 (Valtteri Bottas), 6 (Nico Rosberg)
- Perhaps a rear view of a Formula 1 car, as in the banner
- Helmet (as suggested by xondat)
As for alternate legends, I'd like to include "Tactics" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkW-LzcX7Fs) keys as an Enter replacement, as well as "Pole" keys to complement the Win keys.

This will be really good if you can nail the silver color :thumb:
Yeah I know that. What I meant with "nail the silver color" is getting the best looking shade of gray pretty muchThis will be really good if you can nail the silver color :thumb:
That would be insanely hard with ABS.
Looks pretty nice! Sadly, I can't afford GMK sets at the moment...

Probably wouldn't run until next year anyway.
An F1 keyset really excites me! Definitely in for a set if this goes to gb. A few ideas for memey text novelties/mods:
1) "IN IN IN IN"
2) "Get in there (Lewis)"
3) "Best crowd/fans today"
4) "Ferrari is looking strong this weekend"
I already filled out the IC form, but I just had another idea for the novelties/accents. You could add an extra set of F5 thru F8 that are the neon yellow color of the TV pod on the team's second car.

Maybe we need a "1-2" novelty :p
I can't think of any interesting/simple designs, but incorporating the safety car (since it is a Mercedes SLS AMG) would be cool. I am also amused by the fact that GMK Silver Arrows doesn't have silver (gray) arrow keys.
Cool idea, why not use the W10 in the banner though? Could also use the stars/lauda red star for a novelty.
Where's a second 2.25u shift for us 66 key keyboard users? Every single GMK kit I've encountered in the past has one.
I'd like to chime in to point out a minor problem in the base kit regarding ISO support.
As the kit stands now, you've got neither full UK ISO support nor US ISO support, but are instead falling "in the middle of the pond", producing something called "Atlantis ISO". To fix this in the base kit, you have two (ok, three) options:
1) Complete the US ISO support. To do this, replace the R3 #~ key with an R3 \| key instead. the R4 \| key has to remain.
2) Complete the UK ISO support. To do this, do not remove anything, add the three missing keys in R1: `¬, 2" and 3£, and add the missing key in R3: '@.
3) Offer full UK+US ISO support. To do this, do not remove anything, add the three missing keys in R1: `¬, 2" and 3£, and add the two missing keys in R3: '@ and \|.
Hope this helps!
