[IC] GMK Combobreaker

GMK Combobreaker

IC FORM HERE

A set inspired by the 80s, 90s, gaming and DCS Windbreaker (color use with permission from Pwade)

This set draws on its bold colorway and novelties to capture the spirit of arcade culture. The teal, purple, and pink tones recall neon windbreakers, patterned arcade carpets, and the flicker of CRT screens, while the novelties pay direct homage to one of my favorite games of the late ’80s and early ’90s. I hope you all like this as much as I do!

Cool concept!

I think the novelties could use a little work as they don't look particularly cohesive. Kitting-wise, for a vintage-inspired set I would be inclined to remove the 40s keys (or even just the accents) and include the shinethroughs.

Love the palette: fun and colorful, but still fairly understated. I especially enjoy the SF novelties. I'll definitely be following this set's progress.

Some thoughts on the kitting:
  • Please consider including R3 PgUp, R4 PgDn for 65%/75% support in base.
  • Accent arrows would also be nice to see in extension or novelties.
  • On the other hand, you don't really need two R4 1u Fn keys, so one can be dropped.
  • I'd also move ISO-UK–specific keys to extensions and leave just terminal ISO in base.
  • Finally, it's probably unnecessary to include both accented and non-accented R2 1u Esc, R3 1.5u Enter variants for 40s support; consider sticking to just one and dropping the other to save on key count.
