Hello Cherry enjoyers, I would like to present:  Cherry Love

This is about a love for the hobby and the people who make it special.
It also reflects a love for all things Cherry in the context of keyboards: the profile, legends, switches, and the iconic logo.

Cherry Love pairs a deep red and a bold red that creates a rich aesthetic. Ngl, they really hit.
The legends are a nice white, not that fluorescent white from your corporate office lighting.

A big shift from my last set GMK Cosmos (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=123675.0), this one’s a bold addition to your rotation, trust <3

Please fill the IC form and share with your communities.
Read everything, Christ  :)




KITS

*Note: BAE will work with ANSI stabilizers due to a new mould developed for GMK Beige Addon Kits.

International Kit

I know it looks similar to other red sets. What sets it apart is the theme, design, balance, and detail.
If you think this is “just another red set,” you’re probably not looking closely enough ;)
Cherry Love features dark red mods, rich red alphas, and og texticon mods for a timeless look.
Everything doubleshot in CP white, except the front printed Sys Rq and Break caps.

Color samples next to various reds used in popular GMK sets.
F7 is GMK Perestroika, F1 is GMK Maroon, and the Ctrl cap is Dark Red from GMK WoB Essentials Dark RGB Kit, which is the same as Villanelle.
All are different shades, even if the differences are subtle. Hope that helps.
I don’t mind the other red sets, but I really like mine :cool:

Getting some serious déjà vu here – wasn’t this IC already around once before?
Either way, I love the set! I’d probably go for every kit except the blanks. The 1.5u Super keys are such a nice touch.
If this had R5, it might just make it into my top tier favorites. 😄

Great work on this one!

''this one’s a bold addition to your rotation'' while it's a safe play, it won't be bold. That said it's the reverse Jamon set which do look better. Hopefully the price will also be looking good like the keyset
