Colors
More I'm happy to announce that GMK CYL Prussian Alert will use the same RAL 230 20 20 color sample used in GMK CYL Prussian Blue.
You can check the samples on NoPun site, he did an amazing job capturing all the different color shifts in various lighting conditions: https://nopunin10did.com/gmk-prussian-blue/#gmk-color-samples

People asked me to do a few Shadow White & Mortar Grey sample photos in indirect natural daylight (indoors), here they are:

Intro & Specs
MoreHello good lads, this is my first keycap IC.
This set was inspired by a keyboard friend of mine whose favorite shade of blue is Prussian Blue. He was looking forward to GMK Prussian Blue GB, but it got indefinitely postponed. To troll him, I started designing something with the same blue and a simple idea came to my mind – what about an *insert color here* Alert set? At the same time, I wanted to do something a little different and I didn’t like how it looked with the often-used beige as a base, so instead I ultimately chose to use white and grey.

GMK CYL Prussian Alert uses three RAL Design colors:
RAL 230 20 20 – Prussian Blue
RAL 000 65 00 – Mortar Grey
RAL 000 85 00 – Shadow White

Profile:
Cherry Profile Doubleshot ABS (UV Printed Sublegends for Alpha Kit)

If you are interested in being a vendor, want to collaborate or have further suggestions, feel free to contact me on Discord (g_tour).
I’m more than happy to have a chat with anyone.

Update [01 May 2026]

Kitting Changes

R5 → R4 bottom row
I know a few of you won’t love this, but most buyers prefer R4 (me included) and I completely understand why. R5 works great on TKL+ boards with 9°+ typing angle, but on smaller boards it can feel awkward.

Base Kit
Removed R5 1U Fn
Removed R1 1U End / PgDn → moved to Alertless (One drawback of including the Alert row in the Base Kit is that proper 1800 support — both Classic and Compact — requires some Alertless keys [Mainly Home and Page Up]. Without them, certain keys above the numpad would be mismatched in color. For this reason, I moved these two keys to the Alertless Kit, as they serve no purpose without it.)

Extension Kit
Removed R1 1U Backspace (rarely used, only really makes sense in combo with BAE Enter)
Removed R3 1.75U Stepped Control (cool vintage touch but Control is a hold key, stepped doesn’t add much practicality)

Alpha Kit
No changes.

Alertless Kit
Added R1 1U End
Added R1 1U PgDn

baekihyun:
forced alert :cool: I like the look of the inverted cyrillic kit but never a fan of UV printed legends personally--would prefer this with kkb if you're set on having different colored subs

Thevenny:
ah gitur gitur! Nice project!

nu_types:
Why is there a Cyrillic alphas kit? Prussia did not use the Cyrillic alphabet. Its fine if you just really want Cyrillic. Also, by omitting the number row the Cyrillic alpha kit is incomplete.
