I also love purple on my keyboards, second is cyan, third is orange so this works. For better 1800 or general support probably need to include some 1.5u mods ey (unless I'm missing something)? Wish it would arrive in time for this Halloween! Although I'm slightly curious if this GB will be a... "trick" ;)
Purple is my favourite colour and I love Halloween - the TKL mockup looks great, I'm for sure in. Congrats on a beautiful set for your first IC! Hoping you manage to have it get as much attention as I think it deserves.
1800 also need 1.75U shift. And as you already added 1.5 mod and 7u space, you can add 3 extra keys for HHKB, 1u backslash and 1.5u delete, 1.75u control.
Looks great, could be more orange but purple is good too.
Pretty sure I've spotted a problem though - gmk don't do novelties? Unless things have changed recently...

GMK is doing some novelties for Hydro(?) and there was a GMK Carbon novelty kit, but that whole set sold in crazy numbers.
Thank you! Glad you like the color! So far I didn't see a lot of GMK keysets with purple. Hope this one could be a successful one!
Do you have any suggestions on getting more attentions?
Purple on black might be rough to read mate.
Nice! The set reminds me about Soul Eater haha. I love that anime
Can you make some corn candy novelties or keycap with Trick or Treat? title?
Purple on black might be rough to read mate.
But the idea seems there! Definitely don't like Halloween that much in general but hope you make this set real!

I'm fairly new to the keyboard community myself so I can't be of much help unfortunately.
I do agree though, not many purple GMK sets around (or in general actually) - I'm still using the Tai-hao light violet/white on one of my keyboards! Really hoping this works out, there are so many novelties that can be made to fit the Halloween theme as well!Purple on black might be rough to read mate.
It might be yea, I personally don't mind that though as I think it will look fantastic that way - though as can be seen from a few other group buys people tend to want the legends to be as readable as possible, I'm in the minority when I like mine to be discreet and stealthy. :D
I do like the colors, perhaps an orange wasd kit would look nice.
I'm not sure if I'd use the purple with orange mods all the time, but black with purple legends is right up my alley, and if you have novelties in purple with black bats and cats, I may have to buy more than one set of those.

I agree with Vigrith, I'm really in it for the Purple and Black, Purple is my favorite color and regardless as long as you're using that I'm in :D
Yea I'm all for the purple legends, think it'll look a lot better than orange regardless and yea it'll help set it apart from carbon and and skidata. I think this set's strong point is its focus on purple and black rather than the usual orange associated with Halloween, changing the core like that just because the legend isn't super vibrant would be a shame.
I think they're readable enough as is either way, but like I said I might be biased because I tend to be partial to stealthier/subtle legends, probably a good idea to just wait and see if it's a common opinion in the thread over a couple weeks and then go over potential "fixes" if need be.I do like the colors, perhaps an orange wasd kit would look nice.
Now that there is a great idea. Could even add some extra orange mods like a space bar etc.
No HHKB support? It just takes five keys: 1.75 control, 1.5 backspace, 1.75 shift, 1u Fn and 1u |\ key.
My birthday is on Halloween and I would definitely buy this set!

Oh yea, hadn't noticed that - would be great to have HHKB support indeed.
I was actually going to suggest that same exact thing before - if needed and if it is possible without driving up costs too much you could try using a lighter shade of violet for the legends on the alphas. Could do it so that it's just barely different but still improves readability if a lot of people see that as a deal breaker.
1，i agree with Vigrith and Calm to some extent. Purple modifiers with orange legend is distinctly empressive. Perhaps we would try a more light and soft color for alpha. For example ,PANTONE 263 U at http://www.pantone.com/color-finder/263-U.Show Image(http://i1.piimg.com/567571/222fb86b6a847e51.png)
2, orange on n9 dark grey is charming (skidata), we have no real one keycap with purple on CR black or N9 dark grey, we could not confirm the real one if it is detectalbe and pleasant to our eyes. if we could ask GMK do some samples purple on CR such as carbon have done before we finalize this
3, Purple and orange spacebars are a good choice if added
4, all of us want more orange , such as F1-F4 , F9-F12 or number keycaps from 1--+
1st post! This is beautiful btw. Wish I had more to add but I don't. It's pretty great the way it is.
I love it and I'm interested!
Into this, especially the purple. Good luck with the IC :thumb:
I'm a sucker for halloween-anything even though I come from a place where it holds next to no significance
Definitely be down for a set :thumb:
Looks interesting but not sure about the contrast :(
It seems folks are pretty consistently expressing the concern on purple legend on black. I decided to use a lighter purple as a legend to make a stronger contrast.
I love the idea, but... I would like to see more Halloween orange. After all, orange is the color most of us associate with Halloween - pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and all that - so I'd add more of it. Or... Make the characters orange. Think about orange characters atop the black keys, for example. Now, that would look sharp.
I'm not sure if I'd use the purple with orange mods all the time, but black with purple legends is right up my alley, and if you have novelties in purple with black bats and cats, I may have to buy more than one set of those.
Darker, 2087C looks very readable to me.Sam here, prefer the darker tone.
