Title: GMK WYSE
Post by: shawn o on Thu, 08 December 2016, 21:13:54

Has this been done and I missed it?

If not, WHY NOT?

Have had a couple sets in the past but the thin keycaps are evident. Would be nice to have these made by GMK.

I'd be in. You should open an IC and if it gets enough attention jump to the GB phase. I am not sure if there is an IC on something similar, though.

IMO what makes WYSE so special was the big and thin alphas. Will be interesting to see some renderings of a GMK WYSE version with their cherry fonts.

Yea I know. My point is it will be interesting to see GMK fonts using the WYSE colorway.

As always, never take the GMK renders for color accurate! Either find someone to do good color correction or get someone to make some nice renders. Otherwise this will be quite a surprise.

Still, very excited about this idea. Hope you come up with some nice alternate-color mods and maybe some novelties :)

Been hoping for a GMK WYSE set for a long time.

What about RGB legends for the modfiers? that would add a touch of color to make this a subtle new version of the Wyse set.


Something like this:
