A question to consider...Are you willing to join us in this journey? Whisper to yourself...I am not afraid. Into the darkness...I will go ahead and find a way. Do not feel loneliness. Now Stand up! Shout! Let out your Passionate Voice! Louder! And don’t look back! Are you ready to join us in this journey? A journey for ….keycaps. Now...I ask you this question….Are you fully devoted?

This set was inspired by the band, Roselia. Based on the series BanG Dream! A media franchise that has an anime, concerts, music and a mobile rhythm game. Roselia is known for their gothic inspired designs, their colorful characters and their powerful music. The color scheme is based on the logo's gradient and the band's official color. The colors have been matched physically with a RAL book with official merch.

Who is Roselia?

Color Matched

Colors: CR Black, RAL 280 20 30, RAL 300 80 15
The main inspiration came from the logo and these colors are referenced from Bandori Fandom. These colors were used as a starting point and have been color matched with various official merch with our RAL Design book.

If ordered by itself, the Devoted edition of the Ikki 68 will ship by itself once the vendors receive them.

Thank you everyone who supported GMK Devoted! We are currently tallying up numbers and should be able to post them in a few days since it's the weekend. Also, Mechfashion will have the sleeves up for order until the keycaps are shipping to vendors (sleeves will be made on demand with Mechfashion's Month GB schedule.)

I appreciate the support everyone has given us despite the hiccup in the beginning.

I will continue to post updates as soon as I get them on here and on the Discord servers I have dedicated channels in.

TO DO:
-receive Ikki68 Aurora sample against the Pantone Chip chosen
-along with switch and stab samples
-post artisan collabs (~~FraktalKaps, Latrialum raffle date~~, Alpha Keycaps artisan, Stories from Binirias)
-~~receive GMK color samples~~ Colormatch done
