Title: [IC] GMK Stealth
Post by: Kappasike on Wed, 01 April 2020, 22:55:59
This is a pretty basic set and if it goes to the GB stage will be pretty cheap. I'm not sure if this has been done before but it's just a black, dark grey, with red accents set. A very popular color for gaming products and looks pretty clean and simple. Surprised no one has done this before that I could find out about at least. No novelties for this set as this will be a relatively cheap GMK set.

Might do an IC form letter depends on feedback. I'm aware this set isn't the best looking but it should be priced at around $100 if it does go live. Only kit will be base kit and maybe a spacebar kit.

It might be a good idea to make changes to the colourway, since GMK Slasher has the same colours.

Oh man, just note that this is criticism and nothing against you personally. But, this is such a weak interest check.

- "I'm not sure if this has been done before but" There is an easily google-able webpage with most(if not all) previously run GMK sets. https://matrixzj.github.io/docs/gmk-keycaps

- The complete lack of renders and proposed kitting is worrying.

- I admire the fact that you want to make it cheap, but sticking just to a base kit(and maybe spacebars) might reduce the interest to buy outside 60% and up ANSI users(which is the majority I'd admit). This is particularly concerning when the only way you're going to make the set $100 is by having a 1000 MOQ.

- There is no mention of colours codes or chips what so ever. It would do you a lot of justice to look at what Pantone/GMK stock colours these proposed colours would match the best.

- As Lil says - GMK Slashers is already very close in relation to colours. You going to have to do something drastic to differentiate this set.

With that said, GL bud.
