GMK apollo r2Yeah pretty much besides the novelties. It really does feel like apollo but I love the novelties
I will probably end up adding a comparisons chart in the future. Also the accent color is up for debate; I was thinking red due to cinnabar (vermillion) a red pigment created from mercury, or a slightly darker bluish grey.I vote for red

For those who think this is Apollo R2, pull them up side-by-side and refresh the memory... they are pretty far off, only thing really in common is being gray / monochrome. I was thinking the same at first :D
Anyway, clean novelty kit!
GMK apollo r2
Edit: for comparisons please add Apollo, Ashes and Rainy day.

Will do, some people have said those sets are similar, so I definitely will add those. It is monochrome so there are many sets out there that are akin to the colors.
Dig the novelties, but at least for the colors that you picked, Pantone 428C and WS2 are MUCH MUCH lighter irl.
Definitely picking up the novelties. I think the red accent color would be an excellent choice.
Super excited for this! Glad to see it move forward to a proper IC stage! Nice job on the novelties! Will definitely be picking this one up! I agree with others, I think the red accent would look really cool with the set!
Love the chunky base. Also red for the accents imo.
yooooo looks great
That is so nice :thumb:
Great work!! Love the novelties they are fantastic!!! GLWIC, will be watching closely. Oh and maybe R3 Hg novelty for the H key replacement?
Perfect one day we may be able to fill out all the alphas with elements. Muhahaha, sorry got a little off-track there. Carry on with the IC :thumb:Great work!! Love the novelties they are fantastic!!! GLWIC, will be watching closely. Oh and maybe R3 Hg novelty for the H key replacement?
I asked for that in the form. Loved their inclusion in Carbon and your sets.

skull novs about the easiest way there is to sell me on a set
take my money. now
Just wanted to come in here and drop my +1 on the red accents, glwic :thumb:
Please also consider an accent novelty for ISO enter :thumb: .
love it! GLWIC!
Wow, I would love to get a hold of this set. Can someone point me in the right direction on how I can create GMK keycap set?
I love it, especially the novelties!
Looking good.
White accent works best 😎
You may want to add a field for email in the interest check form, for those of us who aren't regular visitors to the forum and might miss a group buy.
Edit: I'm seeing what appears to a minor spacing issue with the first 7 elements on row 5 of the table on the deskmats. The boxes appear shifted up a small amount.
I want to recommend some changes to the 2 R4 1u novelties periodic elements. This key is already used to cover R1 so I suggest replacing it with a new novelty to avoid repetition.

Yes novelties will be updated soon, I will be replacing the R4 novelties and also perhaps adding in some others or an ISO enter nov!
novelties are dope, liking where this is headed. glwic!!
Yo I'm in, love the deskmat and novelties.
Novelties Update -You can look at GMK Boneyard, Skull and Bones are fine. Can we have skull&bones back at R4 to replace the duplicated periodic Hg since it's already in R1?
changed the skull & bones to toxic hazard symbols, as well as added an alpha Hg key and ISO enter
Reasoning for changing skull & bones novelty: (Cultural reasons)
I would like to keep them or at least have one but I am not sure at the moment concerning these cultural reasons
I will have to do more research on the topic before finalizing the icons.
ngl I want the skull lol
I'm a pathologist and my culture is to have skulls
all good once a skull returns
40s ortho support please! The novs and deskmatt is an instant buy for me

confirmed skull will make it's return
Oh is it possible to remove like one/ both of the icon thingy on the bottom left and right (especially the right) on the deskmat ? It looks a bit too claustrophobic atm, and having a bit of empty negative space is good! And for the novities, I think most of them are a tad too big, besides the Hg ones.
A red esc / enter key in the base kit would be :fire:
Beautiful red accent color! +1 for NorDe
I would also lean to the red alternative, but IMO it is because the white accent is too close in colour to the alphas, and is not immediately visually distinguishable at first glance. In the renders it doesn't look nearly bright enough to be WS2 to me.
I have some suggestions about the novs:
_ R1: Great
_ R2: I think a mod color novelty for Tab key is enough, I rarely or never see anyone using an accent novelty for it.
_ R3: The alpha color novelty "Hg" seems redundant, I wonder where it will fit in popular layouts. Also, this key is repeated from R1 so I think it's better removed. The chemistry bottle also is repeated.
_ R4: The 2 R4 1u mod "Hg" key are also repeated, please consider moving the chemistry bottle from R2 and R3 to R4 to replace these 2 "Hg", then turn 2 nav columns to 1 nav column. The 1.25u mod Skull&Bones are also repeated from R1, in this case I suggest replacing these 2 with the 1.25u version of the 1.5u key on the right (you'll have a pair of 1.25u and a pair of 1.5u with the same figure)
is there any chance of a 40s kit?
what about alt alphas?
if you do end up doing 40s, all r1 novelties should be repeated on other rows
Please add red accent colors, at lease for ESC and RETURN/ENTERI have to agree, I see a very attractive deep red colour, but it’s not used anywhere. Some novelties please, or replacing some grayscale keys in the base set for Esc / Enter, please?

Looks amazing, can't wait!
I've seen many sets with these colors but this set is by far the best one. Looking forward to group buy!
Novelties have been updated and I have added red Esc and Enter accents, most likley the color will be either a GMK Stock color or Pantone 200c, I think it will make this set stand out and give a subtle flair.

Maybe, so far there is some interest building in a Norde Kit
What about R1 red skull? ;-)

This is a really big nitpick, but why was the biohazard symbol chosen?
By definition, only biological material such as bacteria or viruses can be a biohazard.
I'm guessing this is delayed? Given the quote times for GMK, I totally understand. Still really looking forward to this set! Hope that it will run one day, even if that means switching manufacturers!
Just checked Mechs and Co. it states GB date is today but nothing is listed on their site. Also I love that you added red in the novelties, but not too sure what red you are using for the set. Your link for Mechs and co is also broken you might want to fix it. GLWGB! Will definitely join when I have the funds!
SEA vendor please
SEA vendor please
ILUMKB or monokei
am i trippin or is that accent spacebar in the base as well? i'm confused
The Discord is quiet now too. From what I've read it seems that KBD will be first to go live and regional vendors will follow. Shipping timelines is expected to be the same between KBDfans and other vendors. Not sure how/why this GB is being handled this way. Kind of disappointing since it's a great set that deserves more hype imo
Am I the only person that does not see a 1.75 shift key needed for a lot of board setups?

Do u have a link to the discord server?Am I the only person that does not see a 1.75 shift key needed for a lot of board setups?
If the picture is to scale I think it’s a typo. It should read 1.75u instead of 2u shift in the row above the 7u spacebar.

Mechs & Co. announced today on their Discord server that they plan to start the GMK Mercury GB some time in February 2022.

Seeing how the OP has basically disappeared when their GB has started on certain sites but not all of them I'm probably going to pass on this set. I understand people can get busy, but like at least let the potential buyers know if life is getting busy for you, especially if you expect us to buy something from you.

this silently went live? with a mislabeled key in the NorDe kit no less (the usual [; :])
I hope this is some mistake.

This is, it was the uv, in the render so I will update as soon as I get the chance.

Are the spacebars in the base kit correct? Or are they supposed to be alpha colored?

I'm assuming that the second numpad barred 5 is a mistake and one is supposed to be plain. Hopefully this gets corrected for the live GB :|

I wish the white arrows and red esc and enter were in the base kit or an accent kit. I don't need or want the space bars or novelties, but would be forced to pay a really high price for just these few accent keys. I will probably have to pass on the whole thing because of that. Many people in the thread asked for the red esc and enter to be added to the base, so not sure why they were added to novelties in the end.
