DESCRIPTION

I've been wanting a fun set with Arabic sublegends, so I came up with Arabian Dusk. The set takes inspiration from some of the Nights sets but with a fun twist to differentiate itself.

SPECIFICATIONS

Black: CR
Magenta: Pantone Rhodamine Red
Yellow: RAL 1026
Purple: Signature Plastic's RFM
Cyan: Pantone 3115C

Material: ABS
Manufacturing Method: Double Shot Injection Moulding + UV Print
Keycap Profile: Cherry
Manufacturer: GMK
Compatibility: MX

I have ordered a physical color chip of RFM from Signature Plastics and was very pleased with the deep purple. I will admit that it is somewhat hard to see on a screen, however, in person, RFM is a subtle yet distinct deep hue of purple that differentiates itself from black. I have tried my best to mirror the deep hue in the renders, but take them with a grain of salt. I plan on ordering and sharing physical samples before proceeding with a groupbuy of any sort. If the color combination doesn't meet expectations the colors are subject to being tweaked.

All sublegends and non-standard text and keys will likely be UV printed.

5/2/2026:


-Removed 2u spacebar, R3 PgUp, and R4 PgDn from the base kit
-Moved ISO keys to the International Kit
-Moved cyan accents to extensions kit
-Added arrow keys, tab, esc, -/_ , +/=, and 2.25u shift to Latin kit
-Added renders of the 'modified'/sloped backspace

New kitting should allow you to kit out two boards--a TKL and a 60/65--if you purchase the base kit and the latin kit; this was the most suggested kitting change in the Interest Check.

This is a must grab if the alphas were black like the mods. Not a fan of the alpha color.

Appreciate it! Yeah, unfortunate, could always use more Arabic sets.

Just added renders. The general shape is the enter key in the numpad but filpped.
I was forced to use the numpad enter as a backspace when harvesting a vintage board for its caps since the kitting wasn't great, but it turned out surprisingly comfortable and also looks pretty unique. You should give it a try if you have a numpad enter laying around.

GMK! Might have left KKB somewhere in the initial iteration of the post but has since been removed.

Understandable. I enjoy the deep hue of purple since its understated. I do think that doing an all black set might overlap with some of the 'Nights' themed sets a bit too much.

This will be a new double-shot legend, right?
