Welcome to Gurokawa, my latest set that plays with the tension between the weird and the cute.
The first GMK set to use UV-printed gradients as a central design element, and also the first to be fully themeable.
You can switch between horror and cute depending on your build.
The novelties feature mirrored versions of each character, blending soft pastels with unsettling symmetry.
If you’ve seen my past work (GMK Mictlán (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=115163.0), GMK Phantom R2 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=122047.0)), this one pushes things further.
KITS

What's up with those novelties?
- This set uses new technology that allows the application of gradients across all multicolor novelties.
- All multi-color novelties will be UV printed
- All single color novelties will be doubleshot (Kaomojis, Alt Grrrs, Heart Arrows, and uwu).

Peak set
WHOAH WHAT IS THIS. WHAT IS IT DOING TO MY BODY.
wowowowoh. Thank you boss!
You've hit it out of the park with this one. Great execution. I love how you paid attention to the various possible key combinations with the colored mods.
Any chance of getting System or Super instead of Code?
Thank you boss, mods have changed to super. :thumb:
BANGER
Thanks!
absolutely peak
Thank you!
This is cute af UwU.

An actually interesting colour scheme, nice! My only request is to please remove the accent from R3 backslash as I'm not sure that's a thing. It's kinda weird on the R4 Angle bracket key too but somehow that makes more sense to me.
Appreciate the feedback! But the core idea of this set is customization. Removing those elements would only limit that. Yeah, it’s weird, but that’s kind of the point. Some folks aren’t too caught up on what should be a mod or an alpha. They just want something that looks cohesive. So I’m keeping it.
nice
Thank you Flying!
banger set glwic
Thank you!
Hope GMK gets this one right... This could go either way with new tech. Looking forward to samples.
And may I interest you in purse caps lock and xbox backspace? :p
Samples received and they look good, gonna take good pictures soon.
nice ;)
Thank you!
IC so good it brought me out of retirement
That's a compliment, thanks dede!
You never cease to amaze us. Good stuff V, this has a lot of time and dedication behind.
PD: incredible work by danny on the deskmat aswell :eek:
Gracias Bruno!
@pwade I'm sorry this might be the better and more weeb version of Anal og Dreams jk ily phil
LOL
Instead of two base kits why won't you keep one normie icon base kit and add a sublegends kit?
Because alt alphas as a separate kit just don’t offer a good balance between key count and value. And like I mentioned earlier, the whole point of this set is customization. I can’t please everyone by placing specific mods in specific kits. The decisions were made carefully, with a lot of feedback from other places before the IC even went live. In general, people who don’t like sublegends tend to prefer text-icon mods, while those who do like sublegends usually lean toward icon-only or full icon mods. It’s mostly a preference around visual complexity, if that makes sense.
