I like this theme. It's so neat. Would it be odd to add a "Nyaa" or "Nyan" key or something along those lines in the novelties? Or is that too weeb? >_<

Doesn't really match the theme, other than cat.

That makes sense. I figured I'd ask since the worst thing that would happen is you saying no. I appreciate the explanation. (:

For sure! I thought about adding a couple more words to text novelties, like Neko, or something along the lines of what you were thinking, but didn't really feel like it was a good fit to the rest of the stuff, or would have had to expand a little more to make it fit, like adding subs, and that didn't feel right either. Rather leave the set clean, easy, and more generally relatable to cats, their memes, and stuff they do.

Color me interested. I was imagining a high class vibe with this colorway (red tinted pink on a black-ish background). Would like to see more of the novelties

I'm glad you didn't add sublegends to this set. It feels a lot better, especially with the theme you're going for. Excited for this~

Thanks! A little feedback about your comments. This set is not trying to do what Olivia++ might have, or have not done. Different sets, different colors more or less, (stock pink on stock grey here, to custom pink on custom black with Olivia++), different themes, different designers.

It would be lovely to include any and all compatibility for all users (as we are all mechanical keyboard enthusiasts here), this is not a likely scenario though with a manufacturer like GMK. Sets with huge hype and huge sales have trouble with international kits meeting MOQ. So while not against it, not confident that kit can happen here.

If people aren't really into the paws, can remove some in favor of more / repeated text novelties. I thought they were kind of cute and added that little more to the theme. Thanks for the honest feedback. Will look into a small kit update. :thumb:

Tbh it depends on whether it increases price significantly.

I'd buy the kit with a lot of paws and all the mlems and boops if the price difference isn't huge.

The text novelties really make the set, and 4 in various profiles in the base could cover basic ortho support and also be fun for nonortho users too.

Don't want to force novelties into the base, as some people are not into them, and rather keep base straight forward. 40's / ortho will either be in base or a kit, depending on how a few things go. Bit worried about base price with all those keys, as it would be nice for base to be affordable.

Umbra and Pegaso(?) both had abbreviated ortho support in the base kit, by using "nonspecific" text legends like "data" and "out". Since those legends are meaningless anyway they're almost novelties, but might work for those that really hate cat memes.

Its certainly cheaper than Ortho/40s kits that have 2 tabs, 4 1u escapes and 4 1u enters, (but sometimes only one 1u backspace and 1u shift anyway:(), but doesn't do much for nonortho 40s.

Couple ideas for deskmats here. Let me which you might prefer, and if you have any feedback, in the quick form please. Cheers!

Deskmat Vote


I really like both - they have appeal in unique ways and are super cute.

More importantly, I appreciate that the design on the deskmats is not dead-center. As normally the keyboard would probably block the main features if it's placed right in the middle.

+1 for these.

I agree, I love that the main features are around the corners, which actually can be seen (which goes into my tangent gripe with keyboards that put all their design efforts on the brass bottom-side...)
I like both a lot, but I dunno how I feel about the top one's row of 4 paws... Not exactly sold on that execution, but I don't have any good alternative suggestions. Maybe just one giant paw? Or could steal a leaf out of previous patterned deskmats, where you have multiple grey silhouettes of a basic pattern, and a coloured one as accent. I dunno.

I already have a zomo black kitty paw keycap that would fit perfectly as an artisan accent with this set.

I was already thinking of getting GMK Blink black kit... (this is much more muted/calm). How much do I like cats vs kpop…

Missed opportunity doing this in KAT profile!

Missed opportunity doing this in KAT profile!

Thank you for the feedback! Although I do very much like PBT, a little weary about it in general; concerning consistency (specially reverse sub), bowing and warping. We have also yet to see a KAT set delivered (other than BoW), and I have yet to try the profile. All anxiously waiting.

Something dark grey might be a little better suited to match imho, but a black and pink kitty paw will not look bad.

I've reached out to some artisan makers for collabs. Some seem to be interested. Will see if we can make anything happen.

I went back to the drawing board, mixing elements from both. Think this one is nice. I realized a pink cat was a little off putting to me. This feels a little more subtle and suited. Think I'd like to concentrate on one for the moment, make sure it's up to par, before discussing the possibility of a second mat.

Looks nice! Have you considered having two and two columns of the foot prints facing the same direction so it will look more like the footprints of a cat walking up and down the deskmat? Dunno if it will look better, just a thought.

Appreciate the suggestion, and quite like the idea, thanks! My thought was more along the lines of being able to use the mat with no top or bottom and being able to flip it. Giving it a little more direction as you are suggesting is a good idea. Will try to see what I can do about it, if it looks good, I don't mind. :thumb:

The desk mat looks a lot better! Good improvements. One of the cutest deskpads in a long time
I second the idea of two columns of unidirectional paws up one way, then down the other way for neighbouring two columns, to imitate footprints (whilst also meaning the pad can still be flappable).

I do not have confirmed dates yet, but we have a little time before this happens.

Figured I would attempt to clean up and direct the kitting a little more, gather your feedback, and get a feel for how to progress.

Also some Q&A from the IC form feedback that's been gathered so far.

Alt Alpha kit subs / color. Numpad subs More accents?
Not my intention for this set. Keeping it clean and consistent. I feel there is enough accent options, they are accents, shouldn't really be that many.

International Kit?
Only really had like 5 - 6 requests in IC form, so unlikely for the moment (not final no though).

I don't like the novelties, the don't speak to me.
You are not forced into any novelties for this set. 

How about some more novelties like yarn, toys, collars, less words?
Not my intention for this set, I kind of feel that would take things in a cosplay kind of direction O.O

More words, less design.
Added a couple more options, as I like these, feel they would fit in where mod keys are supposed to be and not look out of place like icons do in comparison.

Few requests to separate numpad from base.
I don't think that's right direction, would like to keep it in, as it's kind of an all-inclusive kit atm. 

OG Icons

My mockups are not renders yet (view them with a grain of salt).

Colors - Dark Grey and Pink (N9 - 3C)
Google image - No color correction.


Kits getting updated and rendered


Deskmat - Updated pattern as suggested (minor update - not final but pretty much there).


I have a few more renders that haven't been posted, and will probably add a couple more to those before uploading.

Let me know your thoughts,

Cheers! <3

Yep, gotta have this whole lot. Really happy the 7U bottom row accents are row 5. Novelties are great. "Chonk" :D

Base - Has been cleaned up, while also adding better support for Ortho/40's.
Show Image


Space  - removed pink space extra compat (concerned about price)

Heya, really quick kit feedback:
– The R3 ISO key should be \| to pair with R4 <>.
– 1.75u space isn't useful and as such can be removed.

Nice 40s/ortho support in base.

To be honest I don't really like the idea to add caps for Ortho/40s support in the base kit.
I think those keys are going to stay untouched for a lot of buyers.
And I believe doing so will inevitably add up the price of base kit.

I understand. I am currently not an Ortho or 40's user. Kits are not final at the moment, but I like the current structure. Will see how things go by quotation times, the set being stock colors though, should mean a beefy base kit like this, should rival or be very close to current base kit prices.

Filled the IC form.

Really cute set, I don't mind getting it even though I ordered Olivia++.

The only issue I have (which I wrote in the IC form) is that you don't offer an accented cat enter :(

Lovely stock colours and amazing that you can squeeze in those extra 4 1u caps for ortho users.

But I'd argue that most ortho users actually want a R2 1u Tab and a R3 1u Esc rather than the other way around.

You could even get away without a R2/3 Esc as the Read novelty would work fine for most ortho peeps instead.

Thank you! Glad you like! R2 Esc used in 40's layouts as well. If you're happy enough to use Read, then it all works out. Lots of nice novelties to consider for your desired rows as well ;)
