Drive Us Crazy!

I would like to introduce everyone GMK Power Chord

About

This set was inspired by two of my interests, HKS and Raise A Suilen. HKS is a Japanese tuning company that focuses on producing aftermarket car parts that improve the performance of your car. Raise A Suilen is also from the series BanG Dream! If you know GMK Devoted, you already know. The color scheme is based on both HKS' and RAS' color schemes. The colors have been matched physically with a RAL book with official merch.

Please fill out this IC Form if you're interested!

Rice cooker novelties for Rice car's representative symbol?

Btw I used HKS products too for my rice car back then. Nice!

paulgali · « **Reply #3 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 06:04:53 »

Nice. I'm on board with the kitting. B in base, Iso layout. Only, no UK ISO avail. Any plans for it?

Fill out the IC Form! If I were to add UK ISO, should I add it in the Base Kit or Latin Alphas or both?

Vegas_ · « **Reply #5 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 06:15:15 »

really like this set, the inspo is unique and the colorway looks amazing!

nvh2092 · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 06:20:06 »

Can you consider move the standard (esc, enter and arrows) keys from Boosted Novelties to base? I think it's better in term of kitting.

tanghus · « **Reply #7 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 06:30:57 »

Khaine · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 06:37:59 »

treeleaf64 · « **Reply #11 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 17:17:05 »

I like the people in the picture that you linked. I think they are pretty
This is not even that bad of a keyset I think it is a nicely themed and it looks rahter clean because of the black

Suavity · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 17:52:43 »

Nice Boosted Novelties. Any considerations for a Rama Cap with a turbo?

BlindAssassin111 · « **Reply #13 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 18:24:33 »

I must have that deskmat now...I absolutely love that HKS pattern.

pdlif · « **Reply #14 on:** Wed, 20 January 2021, 18:39:09 »

Reminds me a little of IFK Blacklight. Looks good!!

hkiri · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 26 January 2021, 15:12:10 »

Any chance to separate the accented keys from the boosted novelties kit?
Interested in base and those accent keys but not interested in the car novelties at all.

Havattack · « **Reply #16 on:** Wed, 27 January 2021, 12:50:52 »

Cool. And looks like the people that missed cyberspace (i think that's set I'm thinking of...) should be pretty happy there's something some what similar (color wise at least) for them.

CustomerSupport · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 29 January 2021, 16:58:18 »

I definitely dig the colors; keeping an eye out on this one

noorejji · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 29 January 2021, 18:47:14 »

Very nice and lean kitting, and only two custom colors. I think this'll do well.

WilsonWan · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 13 February 2021, 14:01:41 »

Is it possible for you to get a UK Vendor for this?

It would be amazing if you could

treeleaf64 · « **Reply #20 on:** Sat, 13 February 2021, 17:06:17 »

A daring set Idon't know what to thnik about it I'll think about it some more

Rx003 · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 19 February 2021, 05:09:24 »

I love the color inspiration, glwic wish you all the best for this project!

LAWSON · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 25 February 2021, 21:52:22 »

The boosted novelties are sweet, especially the turbos and hazard light button - GLWIC!

ibcruzn408 · « **Reply #23 on:** Wed, 10 March 2021, 01:13:52 »

Checking in.. just hope this sets off =) Now got to dust off my HKS Skyline model lol

Sax_______ · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 10 March 2021, 04:11:36 »

I like the set and all but wew lad that's an odd combo of themes for one single set.

UswordM · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 22 April 2021, 01:06:46 »

I missed Devoted gb because of joining this hobby late, but I definitely won't miss this one. Gl on IC

ItszBrian · « **Reply #26 on:** Fri, 11 June 2021, 23:50:59 »

Sorry for the hiatus on this set, GMK Devoted and my life got way more busy than I ever anticipated.
I have contacted a community member that has made metal spacebars before but we are currently R&D'ing to see if it's feasible

Every collab for GMK Devoted has gone longer than expected but now I have time for this set! I've been relatively low key on this set since I felt that the initial post was a bit premature but I'm pretty satisfied with what I have planned.

Sidenote rice cooker was a really good meme whoever suggested that but it didn't make the final cut.

ItszBrian · « **Reply #28 on:** Mon, 02 August 2021, 17:37:07 »

Someone asked for a color comparison so here you go! The RAL I used for the Teal is leaning more on the greener shade when compared to TU1 and TU2

Mr Chrome · « **Reply #31 on:** Wed, 04 August 2021, 08:44:22 »

This is very clean for some pretty strange inspo. But it's kinda niche... are you sure two base kits will reach MOQ?

I've gotten many requests to make the Latin Kit the "main" kit (this was when it used to be a Latin add-on kit). I liked how they both looked but I realize that many people would rather buy one kit instead of being forced to get something extra so this is my compromise. I've even structured my kitting to fit basic 40s and Alice bars to get as many single kit buyers as possible.

Thought this would be guitar or metal/rock music inspired, disappointed...... GLWIC though!
