[IC] GMK Future Funk ✨

[kema]

Updates!

This set will be run by The Key Dot Co on Feb 1st 2020!
Int'l vendor list TBD

Received the dark purple 2695C chip from Pantone today, looks perfect! Definitely more in line with my original vision.

Based on the demand, I've added a hiragana alphas add on kit based on the Kobe kit from MiTo's Laser keyset, with a few additional keys for a functional JIS layout. This should give an idea of how the hiragana kit would look with the icon mods:



Base kit will keep basic ISO support, but additional keys would have to be in a separate kit, as the color coordination for different bottom rows means there's already a number of extra keys. Please fill out the interest check form with a comment if you'd like a NorDeUK kit (or other kits), as that's how I'll judge the demand. Thank you for understanding!

6 months before i can even pay money for that deskmat 

[Lil]

I'm definitely in for that hiragana

[zqs1qiwan]

I like the darker purple more, which is kind of laser kit

[booleanjulien]

Any chance you could extend the icon set to include at least 65% support? It would increase the value of buying the light alpha set, as you'd have more options when wanting to use both sets of alphas at the same time on different boards.

Yup, I’ll be updating that kit soon!

Yo if this kit become an actual thing I might cry. I'm in love with those colors!

[elguey]

Any plans to add a R4 1u む(mu) key to the hiragana kit? Also, I will probably buy the deskmat but would be sick if I could buy a poster of the artwork.
Definitely gonna pick up Hiragana and Icon mods.

The R4 1u む is key is there! I was thinking about prints too, might do a limited run? Thanks for the support!

Whoops I meant R1. Prints would be so cool, especially if the keyboard in the artwork had hiragana alphas 

[phinix]

Oh man, this is my dream keyboard - F key less.. if this only existed...
Imagine this keyboard in a shape of Rama M60 thick rear, full aluminium...

[phinix]

double post...

I could not agree more.  A great format.  I would also add the numpad, even longer and even more cool.

[CarlQs]

never was big on mono base color kits but the icon mods and light alphas are changing me

[kema]

Huge shoutout to the great MiTo for helping create the two additional Hiragana molds needed for JIS layout support! And for the awesome renders!

is it 2020 yet wtf i need

[pixelpusher]

I really enjoy the yellow color of the accents.  I'd like to see real world samples, of course, but it's nice.

My whole life I knew 2020 was gonna be the incredible cyberpunk future I just thought it would be for all the wrong reasons. Glad I have a new reason to look forward to 2020

[hypnocandy]

Yea I think this set has grown on me the most since I've seen it. A few sets I loved at first, but faded after a few weeks of a live gb, but this is the opposite.

[ptrick3]

Any chance there can be a yellow 1u alts? Really like how the yellow alts look in the renders, but for some reason the 1u's are pink. Design choice? I've got an asymmetrical bottom row (1.25 Lctrl, 1.25 Lsuper, 1.25 Lalt / 1 Ralt, 1 Rfn, 1 Rctrl), and there's no way to have color symmetry with the current setup.

The color pattern is pink, light pink, yellow, light blue and I applied that to the most common bottom rows. Unconventional bottom rows are unlikely to get the proper pattern unless more people request it ):

[ptrick3]

That makes sense from a row perspective. Just found it strange that all of the alts except the 1u are yellow. Not the end of the world I suppose. Just thought part of your design was the yellow alts surrounding the spacebar

[Zombo]

Holy crap I can't wait to get the white alpha kid. That yellow enter key pops so hard I love it

[digid3ar]

white alphas use the purple for the characters?

[kema]

Smol update: Added 65% navigation keys to the icon mods kit.

white alphas use the purple for the characters?

Yup!

[Zyrophr]

Would love a render on a black keyboard, but I'm 90% sure I'm all the way in into that GB!

[Rayndalf]

Really basic ortho support would be appreciated (maybe in the icon kit since icons are fun and nobody wants 4 more escape keys, just enough 1u keys to make it fit)

[hyppialonso]

I am so disappointed You show me this amazing keycaps set on July 2019 but telling me that I have to wait until Feb 2020. You are trying to kill me.

[Karosu]

Hiragana Legends and Latin Sublegends kinda like the laser ones but inverted would look sick imo

[beigebrucewayne]

Killer set, definitely a must-have for me. Would love to put this on a fully acrylic board.

[mrpetrov]

How does the white compare on the light alphas to the white used in Gmk VoC (if possible to compare)? Thanks!

I feel you
The longer wait does make sure we can make the keyset and its collateral as good as can be. And that includes getting a head start on color matching which can take some time!

How does the white compare on the light alphas to the white used in Gmk VoC (if possible to compare)? Thanks!

The light alphas use the same stock WS1 color as GMK Minimal and others which is more bright and neutral, while VoC uses WS4 which is more creamy/eggy.

[FinalEleven]

I am really into it. Everything about this set looks right to my asthetic. Already trying to figure out what board to put this keyset in. 

[Gtrx]

Honestly, try black alpha legends instead of white.

[Lil]

I disagree, I like the white legends

[Karosu]

 agreed, white legends make it pop

[hottrout]

It is a superb set.  Can't wait for this to go.

[Kokaloo]

pls launch on february 2nd instead

[spakecdk]

I don't remember if I filled out the IC form, but I would like to suggest to remove the "2020" from the deskmat.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Will you bring samples to the San Jose meetup this November? I feel like this is a 'must see in person' kind of set.

Not sure if I’ll have color samples from GMK by then (I’ll try!), but if not I’ll bring my Pantone chips. Join The Key Dot Co’s Future Funk Discord channel for more immediate info when the time comes. See you at the meetup!

I so cant wait for this set to drop... Completely wipes away the regret for not grabbing metropolis..

[zantetsuken9000]

1000% in for that deskpad!
I'm too broke for the keycaps right now though. ahaha

Pantone chips work just as well!

[Willhurt2008]

Can you include arrows into Icon mods to cover 65% keyboard? I would love to get icon mods to mix and match with my other sets

[SlipperyVagoo]

Just a quick question, Is this how icon mod enter is gonna look?
Just wondering if it is intentional or a small mistake
(Never seen an icon enter like this)
