Renders

DISCLAIMER: Renders do NOT show the final product and how the colors will look in real life. I have attempted to match the renders as closely as possible to the color samples I have, and I will be color matching to the physical sample, and not the renders. Please understand that my monitor is not the same as yours, and differences in lighting and texture also play a role. Colors may seem different in the renders in relation to each other, but this is intentional as it is meant to mimic different lighting conditions.

Deskmats

Deskmats were made with the same theme and overall minimalistic look as the set. I didn't want the deskmat to be the main star of the show, just a decoration on the side that is both functional and pleasing to look at.

the Thock is R1 GMK right? Between that and no 3u spacebars, I think I'm about to save a whole bunch of money by wanting this set for a couple of specific 40's boards.

Curious about the rusty Thok. What material is it? Is the discoloration oxidation or some other process ?

@iinko_mk: it looks like the second flag (alpha) on the Enter key in novelties set is not oriented correctly. the points of the swallowtail should be oriented to the right, not downward, so that it reads: N A V Y

So it was meant to be as if it was vertical, but since enter is long key, and not tall, it had to be rotated

thanks, i understand the aesthetic. the design is sharp so i'll have to think about it. (also: although the flags may be produced as rectangles they are, more often, square. so there's that.)

The is was also made to fit the enter key itself. Squares were just a little too blocky. But thanks for pointing it out!

thanks for taking the time to explain. this is definitely more me than you, from having spent too much time on the water. either way, the colors and the kitting are really compelling, and the aesthetic is *chef's kiss*

Yes, you sure can. You would be purchasing one of the "extras" that Mechs and Co. bought as a vendor for this set. It looks like they still have the base kit, 40s and desk mats available.

We have officially confirmed that GMK has shipped out the sets and some vendors have indeed received them!
