Accent colors remind me of muted-- and they fit perfectly with the green.
IMO, since I think a lot of people would want to use both the purple and blue accent colors on their board at the same time (other than the only combination right now of purple esc, blue enter), an extra kit with purple spacebars would be nice.
I'd also personally kill any ideas for novelties since this base kit is going to get expensive real quick, especially with two accent colors.
Great job though!

Yes good call!
I agree about the novelties too, I know novelties for GMK can kind of make or break a set, whether they're grouped with or apart. dont want a situation where the novelties not hitting MOQ kills it entirely.
I'd just have to wait to see color samples b/c of the subtle pantones.
green is fantastic, what color is it?
KMK Labs.
I bet that green would look really good on the M65-a sage case too :)
On the suggestion of another user,
provided an alternate look of the set but with Burgundy alphas instead of white.

ooh... can you maybe try the blue alphas and purple accents.?
p.s. you posted the wrong pic :P

It's got green in it, so ofc I dig it. I saw on the reddit post you were looking for a vendor to run it maybe. Hit me up down the road if gets that far and I might have space for it.

Are you working on fixing the issues with the phantom gb related to the website being down, etc.

Do spacebar kits hit MOQ these days? Would be nice to see one of those. 40% is always welcome, too.
Would anyone be interested in buying both alpha kits? I've heard that GMK doesn't run alpha kits with different legends, but not sure if they run with just different colors. I feel like burgundy might make a nice secondary alpha kit.

:thumb:the modifier is dark green ,am I right?
awesome.
If base legend use the same dark green ,would it be a better color combo?

realistically breaking things down into super small kits like SA sets do probably wont fly with GMK due to their high MOQ's. best to do the major base kit, and the vey small novelty/separate spacebars kit.
I'm also leaning heavily to going with the burgundy alphas as the white alphas make the set WAY too similar to GMK Camping

I think I'm reading you right, this would be the kind of look to itShow Image(https://kle-render.herokuapp.com/api/40de97508fae793883a0793ad795373d)
a bit too hard to read for my books.
Just saw the novelties, and I now realize I need this set to be successful just so I can have "Yawk" keys haha.
Not a huge fan of purple alphas. Have you tried changing the legend color on the white alphas from black to the dark green?

Also, instead of "man down" for the novelty, would you consider "brace yourself", which is also from the same song.

Let's just go halfsies on a swimming pools child mod kit. That should be what, $4000 a piece from you and I?

in my dream scenario, every modifier is just replaced with the hook for swimming pools :D
and no worries about the GMK Camping comparison, sorry if I sounded short, I meant no offense :)
the set already has tons of keys...
but let me be that numpad person and mention how useful the double zero (00) key is for lots of good numpads... as well as some keyboards, such as the Vortex ViBE

And no worries dude, all goood.
Really really really lovely colors here!
Count me in for sure if the samples turn out representative of the render.
I'm not a huge fan of alternating f-row colors, but I can live with it. Maybe consider a spacebar kit so you can move the R4 2.25u blank in there? As well as include purple/blue spacebars?

Really slick set!
Have you experimented with all black legends even on modifiers/accents? Seem to fit more in line with the aesthetic in my head but I don't know how it'd turn out.
If a second alpha kit is infeasible nowadays, I think the white alphas look better and have more universal appeal. But the IC poll will decide.
The similarity to Camping isn't that strong IMO.
Is it just us or are the forum images not working for us? (And your website too)
White alphas are very nice, the purple ones really do add for some contrast but will not hit everyones liking!
I like the YAWK novelties. What about a Dominoes themed cap? Enter maybe?
Let do it with icon mod, bro.
I would face it to the left for aesthetic reasons. With a MOQ of 150 for spacebars/novelties, would it make sense to combine the kits into one?I like the YAWK novelties. What about a Dominoes themed cap? Enter maybe?
I actually love the idea of a dominoes themed cap. I'm falling out of favor with the man down...I think a domino tile piece for an R3 caps lock and a minivan enter novelty would pair better than lyrics.Let do it with icon mod, bro.
I actually finally got a response back from GMK about the set which included many quotes/moq's and information pertaining to the set.
1. Custom colors require base kits to meet 250 MOQ no matter what
2. Novelties/Spacebars/Icon kits are ok for 150 MOQ
I've still got to figure out vendors and stuff because the quotes I received are excluding VAT, Banking and Shipping so I'm not too sure how markup would look!
Here is an image of an icon mods kit which I've added to the kit image album!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/fYegwJv.png)
Going to provide some new images for novelties so we would have the following
1. R1 Casette tape
2. 4x R1 YAWK
3. R3 1.75u Domino
4. R3 2.25u Minivan
then once I get a revised quote on that I'll talk to some vendors!
now should the minivan be facing left as per the album. or right for continuity reasons...

I like the minivan idea! Love the first image colorway, definitely interested. Still unsure about the novelties but I would probably get it even without.

I like the YAWK novelties too ;D
Maybe make a novelty enter key that is purple but has the minivan on it? Love the colors so far!

I'm going to try get some competent renders of the set on boards out there, see if it generates any more interest...as it stands right now I dont think theres enough to meet MOQ. So we'll see,
Love to see it happen but I'm a realist :)
The real homie Janglad got back to me super quick and was able to provide me with a great look at how this set would look on some very famous popular boards in the community! These look amazing, thanks so much my dude!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/JBYanCH.jpg)

Sort of playing the waiting game a bit...From what I've seen GMK sets aren't doing so hot, I think theres some crazy oversaturation of the market with GMK groupbuys. Like Carbon R2 isn't exactly selling like hotcakes but it has one of the most busy IC threads and is on Massdrop but they are like nearly 140 base kits away on the bone kit and 60 away on the carbon base kit...so thats kind of discouraging for smaller GMK IC's such as this which require 250 kits to be sold.
So I dunno, maybe I'll bring it up in 2019 when the market isn't so overloaded with GMK gb's, but right now I just dont think it'll realistically ever hit MOQ.

that sounds pretty great honestly, there are way too many being run atm. And hyping this set up continually after all these popular purple sets finish off might generate a better buy.
thanks for the update !
Just when you thought you were out, they pull you back in...
Set looks amazing. Your approach to waiting a little while makes sense although I wouldn't take carbon as the only relevant precedent. I think this set reminds me more of Olivia in its innovation and appeal.
Thanks a lot for update.any update?

Saw this way back and now it came up again in "Unreads".
I must say it's growing on me and I really wanna get something like this down the line. Good that it'll be later in 2019 (reading through some posts previously) as now there's really way too many GMK GBs happening :D
This looks fantastic, great to see 1.5u meta/cmd keys!
Any idea on doing accessories like desk mats/ artisans/ cables? Now that there’s probably a while ‘til the GB.
Might cause more people to see the set as well if you have more vendors being a part of the set
Icon mod kit, one more time. Any update on its schedule? I know the "waiting time" and "oversaturation of GMK's" but I am asking about an actual schedule, considering all these "issues".

desk mats maybe. Artisans would be really dope though, I've already asked Bgnu-Thun in the past about getting a custom run as I'm a huge fan of his stuff, if this goes through I would definitely be in for a GMK Good Kid Bad Alien noveltyIcon mod kit, one more time. Any update on its schedule? I know the "waiting time" and "oversaturation of GMK's" but I am asking about an actual schedule, considering all these "issues".
To be honest I'm not really too sure. Zambumon has like 4 GMK interest checks due to come out in the next year and he's got the in with Massdrop, so this would have to be at an "off-season" time and away from whenever MD's GMK sets are going on, so I really have no clue about a schedule.
I really have to start discussions with possible vendors. I know DonutCat offered some assistance so I'll definitely link up with him at some point!
I also have to be aware of the fact that a BIG issue right now with GMK Carbon Rd2 is the pricing...So I'm going to revisit the kits as best I can to make them as cheap as possible to try and increase the likelihood of hitting MOQ.
but yah TLDR
got some things to do before I figure out a schedule!
I would like to join, but there is a really big uncertainty around the colors.
I've seen sets that looked great on renders, but turned to ugly once colors where defined. And the purple color is one of the most problematic. Fact is that, if this isn't going to be your work keyboard, most of the time the light in the room will be quite dim, so your set will look very dark.
Look for example at this set... it was supposed to be purple and gold, but turned out to be mostly-black an butter.

Two comments:
1) There would be 2.25 and 2.75 space bars Concave molds when this runs. You may ask GMK to use those molds.
2) The 1.25u diamonds may include the apple's command, as their 1.5 counterparts.
Hey sorry everyone, life's kind of got in the way a bit for me. Been kicked out of my place, and in the process of trying to buy so its been really ****ing hectic lately.
If anyone is absolutely gunning for this to get run sooner rather than later, then I'll gladly hand over the reigns to someone else, just not a great time for me to be trying to figure Keeb stuff out!
hope y'all can understand!

Any hope for life?
soooooSoooooo
Mmm... I've followed this set since it got announced here and have been eager to hear more about it as well.
I even tried reaching out to OP in late March this year if I could somehow take over and try and salvage what I can, given I do not have the original files etc. Given my non-existent experience in keyset design, I planned on working with vendors and keyset designers to get this ball rolling but THRILLHOIAF never replied. He's been online but seems inactive.
The reason why I am writing this is that we all know a few keyset designs that get stuck in IC, OP goes silent but the community still eager for that keyset. Would it be bad taking over and iterating a set like this without THRILLHOIAF's permission? It sounds wrong, I agree but well... what else is there to do, let beautiful ideas rot away?
I do apologise for resurrecting a dead thread and possibly sounding like a cash-grab by wanting to take over this but I think it's enough time waiting for a silent approval that can take ages, or never happen at all.

very exciting either way, and i’m sure working with a team would be smart to try imitate/ move the idea forward

Please. I just want this keycap on my keyboard.
+1 only if you leave the base kit as is. Dont need a good kit ruined

Terribly sorry for the lack of communication everyone.
Fell out of the MK and custom keycap design hobby after SA By the Sea wrapped up!
I've handed all artwork svg's, original kit json's, and pantone info to user ttom, the guy who ran GMK N9 ortho, GMK WoB extensions, GMK Deep Navy, GMK Fuji, GMK Cyrillic WoB & Beige etc.
Again,
really sorry for the lack of communication on a set you are all interested on! The set is in good hands and fingers crossed it generates enough interest to come to fruition!
