Geekhack Community, got a lot of criticism on the alpha contrast for the first version
and after digesting everyone's valuable comments and getting direct feedbackfrom some of the
people here I have updated the colors and kits. Grateful for the feedback and the IC process
to iterate and improve my design I hope these new colors better meet people's tastes.
* GMK Galaxy - Another space set ?
MoreThere are a few space sets that have been made before on GMK or KAT but I believe Galaxy is different enough to not be mistaken for those.
As this is my second attempt I wanted to try something different so I wanted to find a way to incorporate translucent keycaps to a set in a way
that made sense (at least as option aesthetics kit). I am also a fan of dark sets and wanted to make a set that would be easy to match different
board colors.
GMK Galaxy is a set that tries to capture the blue/teal/grey/black spectrum of colors that we see in pictures of galaxies and adds a milky
translucent color to represents the clouds of gases and dust that you see in pictures of galaxies.
Based off feedback, I understand that translucent caps might not be for everyone and I will therefore have them as an optional based aesthetics kit.
I would like to thank Taylorisg of GMK Calcium for doing the hard work of reaching out to GMK to confirm that translucent caps are in the
realm of possibility. Without his work I probably would not have tried doing this.
* GMK Galaxy Colors *UPDATED*

Feedback from GMK on what the translucent caps will look like
* GMK Galaxy Kits
Base
Base that should support the overwhelming majority of popular boards. 60-75%, TKL, full size + general ISO support
Novelties
Novelties are in GMK CR and WS1 so they will match all WoB bases!
Spacebars
Regular spacebar support for most keyboards
Aesthetics
Based off feedback, translucent is now an optional separate kit. This makes better sense as now people who just
want translucent without getting the base can do so too

Wow I hate how the transparent looks,
also your kitting is very not good, if you don't mind me saying so.
Fraaaan:
What's the point of the accent kits if you're already offering 2 base kits with different accents?
