[IC] GMK Moonlight | GB Live May 21st through June 26th

[mkljfox44]

The Group Buy page is now live!


---------------------------------------------------------------





GMK Moonlight
---------------------------------------------------------------

The inspiration for this set came from my love for the great outdoors, specifically the ambience from the moon. This set uses a dark blue-grey to represent the cool color of the night, and a beige-gold to signify the yellow hue the moon gives off on a night in the wilderness.

The novelties have been catered to create a visual representation of the outdoors, with rocky mountains, toasty campfires, as well as camping!

Groupbuy beginning on May 21st!
---------------------------------------------------------------

Colors



This set uses a RAL Classic and RAL Design color, one of which has already been color matched (RAL 1002, GMK Rudy Accent).

very clean! love the idea

penumbra.

I am torn between the bread and moonlight! Looks awesome!

interesting colorway!

[mkljfox44]

 

[ogWalker]

Looks good. Great work dude!

[break]

penumbra.

The alphas are darker than Penumbra, not to mention it has navy icon mods with consistent legends (not multicolored). Even if it did match, Penumbra ran in March 2017.

Really like the subtle colors here Fox, can't wait for more news.

[Slash Emperor]

Cute and nice set, very cozy colors and novelties. Any possibility of adding a Tab to the Midnight Kit so Base+Midnight could cover two boards?

[scrps]

the alpha color enters are... unusual. also there are two same color escs. looks good tho

[mkljfox44]

I realized that I used an older render of the base kit with some repeated keys and whatnot. Updating it now to be accurate. Sorry!

[lbassett21]

Looks like like a simplified Penumbra. The colors look good and the novelties are great! I like the look but it’s not for me personally. Keep up the good work and I hope this IC goes well!

[OJtheTiny]

would love to see a more expanded modifiers kit or a 40s kit... Looks great btw

[Cresc3nt]

Very interesting colors. The renders on the 165 makes me think of a giant moon right in the middle. The novelties look really good too, I may have to at least grab the novelties.

[yoot]

I'm in on any camping set! My one request is more novelties

Rama cap

Nice set. Will buy.

[ttom]

looks like your iso support needs some work too

otherwise I like it though, clean set

[Vaiur]

This is gonna be a wicked popular set.
Watching!

[bobdenard]

I really like this set! Novelties in particular. I just feel that maybe the yellow color is a tad too saturated for a moonlight but that’s just my opinion. All in anyways!

[nasp]

Please consider a 40s kit or putting 4 ortho keys in base

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

Please consider a 40s kit or putting 4 ortho keys in base

there's another group you could make happy here, and it's the 5 or 8 of us who buy the 40s kits because it's the kit where the cool split space bar colors are, and I really want dark blue split bars.

was just about to post this lmao

[Full]

Love the colors buddy! Where is the F13 though? 

[konstantin]

A few things that are missing from the base kit:

• Mod-colored R2 1.5u \|.
• R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65%/75% layouts.
• A R3 ISO key. I recommend using R3 \| and R4 <> (see here and here). Both of these keys should be alpha-colored, so the current mod-colored R4 \| has to go either way.
• Barred homing numpad 5 (assuming the existing one is scooped).
  
• Optionally, 2u Shift and F13.

Other remarks:

• Scooped F and J should be alpha-colored.
• 1.75u is not a useful spacebar key. Especially not if there's no 40% support elsewhere in the set. Please remove it.
• Instead, you can add a 1.25u space, which is useful for split 6.25u (2.75+1.25+2.25) and Alice layouts.

[n.rdy]

i love this. im 120% in because my fiance is a basic white girl and she literally couldnt even when she saw this. well take two please.

[fabijolo]

The colours looks very nice and harmonizing to me
The only thing that comes if as a but odd to me, are the your scooped keys, which usually should have the same colour as your alpha keys. (But I'm pretty sure it wasn't on purpose anyways)
Good luck with the set moving forward

[Lateralis]

That looks great! Is there any chance for a North Kit?

I like this very much! Renders with Novelties would be nice

By this definition I'm also a basic white girl 

[IOVERCALLHISTIOCYTES]

It is actually a faded navy color, not black, but will still look great!

[juice_pouch]

Looks amazing with the dark alphas

[Shiro]

this feels very nostalgic for some reason. I really dig it.

[chowder266]

Rama cap

Nice set. Will buy.

More rama caps !

[grundlemere]

Really pretty. Reminds me of the Laib Wax Room! I can almost smell the beeswax.

[Kara]

Really love R1 of the campfire kit! So cute.

[krzank]

Love colors. Unfortunately no full ISO support. I would prefer Midnight kit with mods instead of Moonlight one.

[hali]

ne barred 5 avail?

[sleepy]

the novelties kinda remind me of twin peaks

[JunglejuiceJay]

moonlight looks amazing! love the color scheme on this set.

[ferociousfox]

love it, but would really like to see dark split space bars in the spacebars kit.

[econeuler]

Nice set, I think this looks very clean!

the novelties kinda remind me of twin peaks

Haha I can see what you mean:p (had to listen to the theme song now)

[frankfrankfrank]

Love the outdoorsy vibe, and I love that it works without it lol. Good luck!

[Solotov]

Would prefer midnight kit as the base kit 

[CoolMike]

God this is like GMK Camping on steriods its so good.

I love the color selection and the novs, such a good job.



GLW everything! I will be copping.

[Lazesummerstone]

Wow there are moments when a keyset totally inspires you to be creative yourself. I so want to use this into a mysterious forest keyboard on a wood case. I'm looking forward to this!

[mkljfox44]

Updated with Deskpad design concept. Subject to change.

[KeebOnMe]

I really dig the basekit, campfire and first deskmat. Whenever it's ready, I'll drop on those!

[GergWorst]

Oooh this is nice. Really like how it’s more muted compared to lux‘a bright Yellow on Black

[Chenson]

Would love to get my hands on this!

Please add Oceanic vendor Daily Clack or Switch Keys

[mkljfox44]

Added several new novelties to the kit.

[Cresc3nt]

The novelties are great. It would be amazing if another base kit could be offered with the midnight alphas as I prefer the midnight look more.

[DaangDavid]

this set making me feel some typa way.

[Ayeinw]

Love the dark base. Will definitely be picking this set up.

[ivu]

Hello,
My feedback on the set:

- Add R3 Pg Up and R4 Pg Dn for 65% users
- Add \| R1 both in base and midnight kit for split bs users (me included )
- The 7u space in base should be yellow colored instead of blue. You already have 7u spacebar in the additional midnight kit.
- Can you do 1u R1, R2, R3 novelties for 65% users.
- Any chance of having text+icon mods instead of icon only ones?
- Have you thought about going with full midnight kit in base and have moonlight in added kit?

Would love to hear your opinion

[Vyndem]

Really digging this colour scheme tbh!

[dibkib]

Echoing some of the replies, I'd love to see the midnight alphas kit in the base kit instead of the moonlight alphas.

[MrFurrior]

Any progress on this set? Love the colours and novelties are a plus too!

[stevenopoly]

would also love midnight kit as the base kit. 

[stevenT]

love base kit, look forward to novelties 

[mkljfox44]

Update 02.06.21

Glad to see this updated and yellow alphas still an option. Still hope there's a Rama.

Any way you can throw up the old colors/renders just for reference. Can always hide them in the post.

The colors haven't changed, just the quality of the renders. The only thing that changed is that we swapped to the dark alphas over the light. People seemed to prefer it based on the IC feedback.

[thicthock]

Love it. The dark alphas more. Very lovely color choice!

[mpererr]

Great work, I'm usually not a fan of navy blue but this looks excellent!

[spunc1]

Absolutely gorgeous! Could you please please consider nordic?

[audrentis]

Really liking base kit and novelties for this! Maybe add alternate alpha colored extra B key as well?

[arcade]

I'm new to the mechanical keyboard world and this is one of the first sets that caught my attention. how likely is it for this to go live? it looks amazing.

[PusaCat666]

This one is nice. Hope this pushes thru. gg

[davey129]

If this goes through, this is most likely gonna be the first set I ever buy.

[thicthock]

I still need this so much

[nvh2092]

Is it possible for a non-accent ISO enter novelty?

[Extra Fox]

I genuinely like the look of this one, especially the novelties.

[Trivent]

Absolutely solid. I'll keep an eye on this one. Looks great! Nice colorway bro.

[maxpower78]

Dig it! Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more.

[kaznai]

I believe this is my first post to this forum. I do have a crap memory though.

In any case, consider me interested. If nothing else I'll take that second deskmat in any condition.

edit: either (ideally both) deskmats. And the novelties.

[Maximilien]

Love the concept, but I feel like the yellow should be a different shade to stand out. It seems a bit dull, where I would expect it to kind of glow, pop, or evoke some feeling of warmth. Sorry for the vague feedback, but I do really love the set. More novelties would be awesome and the deskmats are amazing!

[Lateralis]

I Love it! Is there a chance for a North Kit?

[paperassgasket]

requesting at least the 3-keys 40's support in base please: Row 2 1.75u backspace, row 3 1.25u tab and row 3 1.5u enter.
Also consider moving second B to the base kit and adding a second B to the alt alphas. Would be unfortunate for our Alice-friends to be left out of having a useful alt alphas kit.

Finally, the novelties are great, but the novelty kit itself seems a bit thin. Especially in the presence of text mods. Full novelty mods would be greatly appreciated, and your kit does little for any other format outside a 65%, or a 40+macro column like the TMO50.

[DaaDaa]

i like it and will join group buy with the alternate alphas

Echoing the sentiment for three key 40% compatibility in base, that would be awesome

Now I need a banner cause I am getting this set

Still think the spacebar set should hold a yellow spacebar too

[nvh2092]

New base kit render lacks of R3 pipe key for terminal ISO support.

[TomatoMan]

Lovely colors, any chance to get a render with yellow alphas?

[c0d3r]

I think the spacebarskit should includes 2 RAL1002(yellow) bars (6.25u and 7u).

[mkljfox44]

Lovely colors, any chance to get a render with yellow alphas?

I have an old render of a kit rendered with the light alphas if you want to take a look. https://i.imgur.com/aSljJE7.png

Disclaimer: This was just an old render I did and i'm kind of bad with fusion so the lighting isnt very good.

Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. I believe this is something that we are actually going to be doing. I am re-doing renders now with the yellow spacebars removed from the alt alphas kit and added to the spacebar kit; it makes the most sense this way. I'll update when its complete. Thanks for the feedback!

[GraffitiDecos]

I am very late to this party, but I really like this set! I am a fan of uniform color throughout and I am a big fan of this theme! (added bonus : the clean numpad!)
Also, I usually stick to base, but I really like the novelties and the rama, I'm going all in on this one!

edit: Just wanted to point out that I only found this IC-GB because of keycaplendar (https://keycaplendar.firebaseapp.com/) very useful tool since this community has gotten so big its hard to keep track!

[Shozzking]

I'm in love with this kit. I'll be in for base+novelties+rama+both mousepads!

The render of the base kit is still the same like the one before the changes. Also, the tab key of the alt alpha kit should be in dark blue color so people who buy base and alt alphas can cover 2 keyboards. Last, today is May 4 2021.
