Hello! We have a new keyset design to show everyone!
It is inspired by the dashboard colorway of my wife's car, which led to the dashboard icons theme.
I loved the blue/ very slight greenish grays in different shades mixed with the bright red.


Please fill out the IC form for us to get some feedback and answer some kitting questions!

What model is this wife's car ?

I'm introducing keycap set in japanese ( https://twitter.com/keycap_set ) and I love to share background story of its design.

Question about some of the caps:
The 'Engine Start/Stop' cap has a feature on the bottom of the key.
On the Rama 'Engine Start/Stop' keycap, the feature is on the top.

Is that feature for rgb shine-through?

If so, if you have rgbs on the other side (south-facing for the Rama, or north-facing for the regular caps) would the rgb still shine through?

Only the GMK cap has shine through because it is doubleshot. RAMA caps are not doubleshot, therefore there is no shine through on the RAMA caps. It is just enamel fill.

I'm sure Omnitype will, but chances of getting extras are low. They usually sell out in seconds.

if 2000 extras sell in seconds i'll eat my shoe
there's a good chance you'll be able to snag one if you're on time for when extras go live, 2000 is an absurd amount of extras that takes most everybody a few weeks to go through

So maybe buyers will receive in Q1 2023.

The Additon kit shown in the first post includes R3 \| and R4 <> keys for terminal style ISO support, but at some point towards production, this seems to have been switched to R3 #~ and R4 \| (incomplete ISO-UK). I do not find any reference about this last-minute change, so I assume it was not intended. Maybe old renders have been communicated to GMK by mistake?
