Overview

GMK Salamander is a Cherry profile keycap set designed by NyxKeys in collaboration with a close friend Glen.

This project exists to create something meaningful within the mechanical keyboard hobby. Not as a tribute piece, but as a statement. A carefully considered set built around strong identity, bold color choices, and a theme rooted in endurance and passion.

The visual direction draws from a personal love of deep greens, earthy tones, and fiery accents. The result is a set that feels grounded, powerful, and unmistakable on a desk.

Color Inspiration

The palette focuses on rich greens, warm accents, and dark supporting tones.

These colors were chosen to reflect strength, heat, and perseverance while remaining versatile across a wide range of keyboards. While the inspiration comes from a larger fictional universe, the execution is intentionally subtle and abstract, allowing the set to stand confidently on its own.

Glen's Story

This is the story of the friend:

Greetings, brothers.

GMK Salamander is a set rooted in my love for deep greens and the themes of resilience and fire that first drew me into the worlds I enjoy most.

The colors reflect armor, hardened skin, and the ever-present flames of a harsh homeworld. More than anything, this set represents my desire to leave an impression in a hobby and community that has given me countless hours of joy.

This project was made in collaboration with NyxKeys, a team that continues to push forward with intent and care, and I could not imagine a better partner for something so personal.

We hope you enjoy this set as much as we do, and we welcome any feedback you may have.

Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war.

Hi @F8X enjoyers,

I know everyone is eager for the drop. Unfortunately, we have to postone the launch of F8X. We recently discovered some flaw in our design and would love to take more time to refine the F8X bit more.

As we are having more time to work on the design, we will also prepare some units to send out to our favourite content creators  to check out so we can also gather more feedback.

We will post more details including new launch date once we have more concrete information. Thanks for your understanding and support.

Damn, I was looking forward to this.

Thank you to everyone who participated! I suspect everything will get made; still waiting for final numbers (Divinikey, Ilumkb, Toro, and Keeb Supply are still live). I'll let you know where we are in the queue when I have more info.

I did speak to Melissa yesterday and reiterated that numpad should use the large, alpha-sized numerals for production, which had been the intent for R1.
