Title: Black Cherry Keycap | Manufacturer undecided
Post by: kentdo10 on Sat, 25 July 2026, 22:52:25
GMK(?) Black Cherry
Hey guys, this is Toro Studio here, and we're back with another IC. Collaborating with Valkurize, we are revising Black Cherry Keycap project
You may recognise this set as something originally designed by Django. He has given Valk the go-ahead to bring this set back from IC purgatory so all of you can enjoy it.
A lot has changed in the Keycap scene since the inception of this set, and while it was originally going to be run with GMK, we have decided to take the community's opinion on which manufacturer this set will run with, so make sure to fill out the IC from below and make your opinion heard

IC FORM (https://forms.gle/E316na8Q2V6zwATy9)
Please see the previous IC for Transfer of ownership (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=119779.0)


Inspiration

Inspired by the fruit, Black Cherry.

The dark Red-Violet, Black, and Pink are influenced by... well... cherries!

Fun to type with, not to eat!

This kit needs a ESFR kit like Blot, Evil Dolch and Black Snail to be perfect.
Also International is misleading, should be named NORDEUK or whatever.

Looks nice!

Please give us a regular mod colored ISO Enter and move r1 PgDn and End keys from base to numpad kit since those are used for 1800 layouts.

This needs to be icon only legends out of respect for the original designer (it looks better too).
