GMK Zero Sugar
▶ IC FORM ◀ (https://forms.gle/zUWiRiiiDTyGL2MX9)
▌INTRODUCTION ▌
Hi, everyone! This is GMK Zero Sugar, my first keycap design. The set is inspired by my favorite zero sugar energy drink. As you can tell by the color scheme, it's designed off the white can that it comes in. And let's be honest, this is the best energy drink out there :D
▌COLOR DESIGN ▌
I chose to go with the following colors:
Alpha colors GMK WS1
Alpha legends GMK Metallic ABS gray (RAL 9023) (this is the same legend color you see on GMK Hi!Viz)
Mod legends Pantone 306 C
The white alphas reflect the color of the can, while the metallic legends nod to the aluminum material.
The subtle blue of the "Energy" lettering that is found on the can...this color is not prominent so that's why I went with just doing it on the mods

▌DETAILS ▌
Vendors: TBD
Pricing: TBD - I'm trying to keep the price as low as I can. If there are caps within the base kit that you prefer not to be there to help lower cost, please let me know in the IC Form above.
Artisans: TBD but if you are a maker and interested in making artisans for this set, please feel free to message me on Instagram or Discord (keyboard_dad).
▌ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ▌
A huge thank you to:
MikeyDigit for the renders and your patience!
Bokehhbob, Shylocutus for the initial feedback and always having my back!
Bowl and Maxvoltar for feedback and kitting guidance.
Orin for helping every step of the way.
The Dad Pad Discord server and the keyboard community for support and input!
▌STAY UPDATED ▌
I'll be posting updates as the project develops.
APRIL 15, 2026 UPDATE - thanks to all who have filled out the IC form! After looking at the feedback, people really want the numpad as a seperate kit, and 40s kit and spacebars as a separate kit to help lower the base cost. I'm not positive this will drastically reduce the base cost price but i will keep this in mind when getting quotes to get the best base price possible. I'm also in conversations with vendors. If you haven't already, please fill ou the Google IC Form. Thanks to everyone who reached out and communicated feedback / kind words!

Feedback is greatly appreciated thank you for taking a look!
Ngl this is the first time I have seen someone say this lol. Is there like a specific reason or did you mean a different Row?
Last year I was trying to figure out if typical Base kits would cover a layout I was planning. As expected, there's some variation between sets.
R3 Page Up was in all eleven, and R3 Home was in five.

Yeah, MT3 and DCX kits almost always include (or, I guess, included, now) PgUp, and often Home at R3. GMK is the problem. PgUp is available in GMK WoB, but only in their 'Grand Base,' which, of course, is the priciest of the WoB sets. Looks like your stats were probably from sets available on drop.com. The Drop GMK WoB was actually a great deal, and included more non-standard keycaps than the typical GMK GB sets. It included accents and numpad as well. That was a hell of a deal, while it lasted.
Anyway, I think your stats would be a lot different for R3 PgUp and Home, if you were to compare only non-Drop GMK sets.
More
You'd find that much fewer kits include R3 PgUp in the base, and often if it's part of a particular set, it would be in an add-on kit. R3 Home is far less likely to exist. In fact, I can't think of any GMK sets where R3 Home was available in the base, and very, very few that include it in an add-on.
Yes, eleven sets (including only 1 GMK) is a drop in the bucket. I just wanted to show that your request isn't unprecedented.
Any chance for a blue alpha set matching the mods? I love the blue on white contrast!
If there is enough interest in it, it's a possibility!
I'll throw my vote in for that as well :)
i originally wanted to keep the blue to a minimum due to the can only have a little bit of it in there but once i look through the feedback i can see possibly adding that as an extra kit?
Are possible Alt Alphas just blue legends instead of metallic grey? Or are you thinking about accent alphas?

Probably not this blue. Its not that prominent in the can
