I could have sworn there was an 'r' in the title when I clicked the link. I would have bought that keyset.You're thinking of GMK White on Pink.
The renders of the set on keyboards and kit-design show different icon mods with one being og the other dixie-mods. Which ones will you go for? While I really like the colours of this, N9 and 3C are GMK's best, dixie-mods would be an absolute deal-breaker for me.
This looks amazing! Any thoughts on 40/ortho coverage?
I like this a lot! I almost went in for Olivia Dark but the pink was a bit too...fleshy for my taste — This looks a lot nicer. I have however just looked at pictures of GMK's colour chips and pink 3C looks a fair bit less red than how it appears in the renders, which is putting me off slightly.

I like the color scheme. I'd personally love to have a non-novelty accent esc/enter/arrows in the base kit, but that may not be realistic in terms of pricing etc.
I need that caps lock and enter novelty keys in my life.
Please include a fulltouch paw print caps lock though!
This looks great!!! Can never get enough cats in stuff.
One qualm I have is kinda how awkward the base kit is with the 40% keys. It feels like there isn't quite enough in there to satiate all the different 40s layouts.
Also requesting ortho support please! :D

I did not really want to add accents in the base, as there is a highlight kit. We will see how things develop though.

Got it, thanks - just that I didn't see any of those accents (arrows, enter, esc) in the highlights kit - or am I missing something obvious...?
Curious - why does someone else's input matter for an IC concept? I assume you're choosing colors that GMK can produce? Can someone "own" the rights to a black and pink keyboard?

I CLAIM THEM! Boom, pay me money!
Joking aside, i think it's more of a courtesy thing.

Right. We see a lot of these courtesy calls in the MK communities lately. While not exactly the same even combinations of some MX switch's stem colors, springs and their housings have been the object of huge controversies, while MX switch patent is expired already; then, there are not legal rights to claim anymore, but our community is prone to endorse those doubtful rights to vendors that are very vocal.
Having missed out on Olivia, I'm really interested in this. 40's/ortho coverage would be great.

don't worry, vendors have already stocked a bunch of them enough for everyone
About PONO, can you offer a different color for alpha, GMK only makes ABS and they will eventually shine, black background is not loved as much as light alpha, or so I think.
At the end of Olivia++ GB, vendors purchased more than 1000 base kits or so people believe, you can check the graph in gb thread.

Olivia++? I hope so. I'm mad I missed the GB. Darks would look amazing on a white board. I'll otherwise be using these, and would love to at least see what a light alpha might look like.

N9 is dark grey. There is no black in this set. No white alphas.

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. (:
Would like to see more of the novelties

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.
Looks great! Would love International kit/NordDe kit. Especially since Olivia didn't have one.
R1 blep, mlem, boop would be appreciated for folks without a 65%+1 would rather this instead of like 7 toe beans

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:
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.
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.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.
Couple ideas for deskmats here. Let me which you might prefer, and if you have any feedback, in the quick form please. Cheers!Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/CnDHO3r.jpg)
Deskmat Vote (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScgvJ7VTrNuS53YyJGxWIJwheXY_Wm4hzDyMtvvJnL5uQaxTA/viewform)
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.
Missed opportunity doing this in KAT profile!
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.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/u3VD6tF.jpg)

Any update?
In all those GMK sets in IC stages I like this one the most.
Hopefully it will get into groupbuy ASAP.
Got it. Glad to hear you back anyway.Any update?

Nothing to report / announce at the moment. SoonTM :thumb:
Base - Has been cleaned up, while also adding better support for Ortho/40's.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/yA9nr18.jpg)
Space - removed pink space extra compat (concerned about price)Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/eznV22s.jpg)
Heya, really quick kit feedback:
– The R3 ISO key should be \| (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90706.msg2894820#msg2894820) to pair with R4 <>.
– 1.75u space isn't useful (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=104385.msg2899054#msg2899054) 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.
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.
Quick announcement before revealing the final kitting, pricing, mats and collab.
Beyond stoked and honored to announce the following vendors will be on board for GMK Pono
US - Dixie
CA - Deskhero
EU - MKB.eu
AU - Daily Clack
Asia - iLumKB
China - zFrontier
The set will be running July 17th to August 14th
More updates very very soon, hope you're as excited as I am :D
Will the novelties be sold through vendors other than Dixie?
