Thanks for posting the photos

Do you know if this set suffers from backlight bleed like Triumph Adler?

More than likely.

Hot taters, that looks good. Not really into the color scheme, but that hot pink is dynamite.

I am not sure the GMK keycaps set suffers from backllight bleed.
Maybe it will because it's the same keycap as GMK ever does if it has the problem in TA.

The lighter colored key caps are a lot more susceptible to light bleed than the darker caps.

looks like it was $159 + shipping, and it didn't include winkeyless kit or even an esc, so i'm not sure if i want it now.  the pink does look nice though.

If it was, I think that was a mistake and there was supposed to be a post made here.  On the form, there was a field for your forum username and then a checkbox if you were from GH or /r/MK.

Ah nice, I see it's already on his site but don't know if it was there before I posted that. Never cared to check. :p

If this had offered compatibility with other boards, even just one additional child set, I might have considered it. I have no boards that will fit this, but I acknowledge that it's mainly for the Chinese audience and they were opening up some sets for us out of generosity.

Maybe someone can get a compatibility set GB going?


Edit:
I rescind my remark. I did not notice the stepped Caps Lock. My B.face can accommodate this, as well as my future Jane num pad.

Hmm...

I'm in the same boat actually, all my TKLs are 84 or 86 key layout. :(

Just realized that this is not a custom color set. Just a custom legend set.

I went back and looked at the original mock ups and at the GMK standard color codes. The magenta is the stock UN33656, the same one used in CMYW sets.

I feel swindled.

Well, so much for the custom mixed colors.  You're right, exact same color as CMYW.

You should get rid of it. But don't sell it because that would encourage someone to seek it and you would feel bad. Just throw it away...in a box with a shipping label addressed to me.
And drop it off at the post office.

FYI, caps came in a ziploc bag (via originative) instead of the nifty case in OP.  I wanted a cool case for them since I was only using a few of the caps :(

BTW if you want a regular magenta escape key Feng has them on his geekkeys website. It was $6 for the cap shipped to me.

But an even heavier mark up lol definite the most expensive 104/105 keyset ever.
