Due to the complex design of Excalibur Morgan we may be moving it to the Enter key to comply with GMK's tooling specifications.

[Puddsy]

yeet yeet nice

[nguyenhimself]

I admire the “Alter” pun key. Well ****ing done.
IMO the colors seem a bit washed-out though? Maybe a shade or two bolder?

[Sifo]

I've ordered color sheets from RAL to check in person. The colors were matched to a digital image of Salter using the RAL design and classic color systems which of course doesn't reflect what it'll look like in real life.

If you have suggestions please provide the RAL color code, we won't be using Pantone because GMK prefers working within RAL.

However I can tell you that I've already spent countless hours trying to find the best match and this is what I've ended up with.

[mongoose27]

  very nice, i like it and interested in grabbing a set!

I am personally not sold on the Mod colors. Would you consider a child kit where the mods are the same base as the alphas? Otherwise, I love the colors and the legends!

[Khers]

ne icon mods avail?

This might be a possibility in the future but as of right now there are no plans for this. Thanks for the feedback!

ne icon mods avail?

No plans for mod icons, tryna limit the amount of kits to make it happen.

[nasp]

Just a heads up that the image link to the novelty kit seems to be broken. Regardless, this set is looking great!

Perhaps consider min. ortho support in base?

R2: Out
R3: Data or Read
R4: Shift and Enter
All text mods since it uses the Delete 1u key from the navigation column.


Lastly, can you put two 1u spacebar keys in the spacebar kit? Thanks for considering!

[switchnollie]

Was expecting blue when I clicked this

When you invert the set it is there, very clever

I had replaced the novelty image with an updated mockup so hopefully it's working now.

Ortho became popular after my time so I will have to look into it with my vendor. We'd obviously love to include everyone but also need to manage prices, and our experience might be different from other running ICs/GBs.

I mean it's kinda blue. Also damn you figured it out. I actually designed the set while inverted.

The mod legends for r2 and r3 are ambiguous otherwise you'd have to implement Esc and Tab twice. Also some people use r3 Ctrl so that's 3 keys you're saving going that route.

All in all, 4 - 1u keys will let you cover Planck and Preonic boards which are probably the most popular <60% boards.

I'm here for consultation if you need me.

[Slash Emperor]

Didn't think my interests would intersect like this, but here we are.

I guess I'll pick up a couple sets...

But can we get a Tsukihime set out before Nasu remembers he hasn't done jack with the remake?

At this time, in order to keep set prices down we're probably just going to keep our base kit as is.

Just wanted to ask, is there any possibility of adding in a black/corrupted Grail novelty? Would fit the theme nicely and have some Grail representation in there.

4, 1u keys would allow compatibility for the most common 40% board and another popular board, the Preonic, too. Are 4 keys really going to add enough to the cost of the base kit to exclude these boards?

I don't use staggered boards so I hope you'll reconsider or I'd be left out.

I accept royalties in keycaps tnx. Serious talk:
1. I dig the top row
2. I’m not feeling the sword personally. I would’ve preferred a red color to fill in the sword, the aura looks eh. It’s not a dealbreaker though, just my two cents. And and and if you want red to be the outline color, why not follow the old Morgan keycap and make the lines simple?
3. The Buster caps lack some oomph. Maybe it can work in a different font? Iunno.

what about Generic Mop and sniper rifle. (They copied the sniper rifle from a known gun in the first place, and doubt they can sue for a freaking mop)

yes Type-Moon is very clear as to what is and isn't allowed. unfortunately the command seals, buster logo, excal morgan as well as salter's visor violated their guidelines.

So here we are with more neutral objects that are still somewhat true to the inspiration.

Hey all! As of early yesterday morning, there are dedicated channels for keycap sets run through Switchmod Keyboards!

You'll be able to find those on http://discord.switchmod.net.

I don't expect it to be the main conversation hub for GMK Alter (although if it ends up being so, that's fine too).

Have a nice day, all.

[Bawsky]

Hmm interesting. My wallets clinging on for dear life after all the good sets this summer/fall.

Hype!

[blakstealth]

Oooo, fullsize sleeves. Definitely gonna get a few.

[Gh0sty]

I absolutely love the colorway and this would be an auto-buy for me if there was an option without the JP sub legends and only Latin Alphas for us that don't actually care for Anime :/

Nonetheless, awesome job!
