Welcome to GMK EDC!
Hi everyone! GMK EDC is originally inspired by my old everyday carry backpack. Unfortunately, I recently had to retire it (rip), but I love the colorway and thought it would fit well on a keyboard. This is my first design so any type of feedback would be amazing.

Please change that R3 1u "~#" to "\|" for proper iso us support. A novelty kit would be good as well.

falzm · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 03:01:05 »

Looks good, I'd be in. FYI in your Google Doc it's currently not possible to select multiple kits in the "Which kit(s) would you be interested in purchasing?" section, you have to make it a multiple selection type field.

So how does this compare to GMK 8008?

One's pink and the other is orange?

I have Yuri on my desk. The colors are quite different.

iSamurai · « **Reply #7 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 05:56:19 »

OP maybe it is better to change the name of the set because yes, it is named after Giorgio Morandi but the first thing that comes to mind nowadays with "Morandi" is the bridge or Gianni Morandi; the latter isn't bad per se (but maybe you can incur in some legal issues? Better to check, also because GMK is more strict nowadays) but the former is quite unlucky.

Zeelobby · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 07:34:06 »

I have yuri on my desk. These are pretty similar. Not identical. Sure. But like. It's slightly different yuri. Lol

Dirty yuri. Yuri in shadow. Etc.

Hi, thanks for letting me know! I've updated the form.

shawnlin · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 22 March 2021, 12:51:07 »

Hiiiii I am not an expert in colours. But the vivid colour of the orange does not look like morandi to me. I'd expect more of a greyish tone. It could just be me, of course. GLWIC anyway!

It's a similar vibe but the blue tone is quite different.

yep. Colors do look a bit different, interesting set.

I just added a visual comparing Morandi to other sets!

Trivent · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 24 March 2021, 21:57:05 »

I really don't understand those comparing with the other colorways. Like sure it has a similarity of ONE color but don't forget a bunch of other GMK sets are essentially just entire copies of each other. Morandi dark variant is the best one out of all 6 anyways! Good work!

Alessio · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 25 March 2021, 11:17:29 »

some people say to remove mod color pipe, **** those people

OmNomNitty · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 30 March 2021, 20:57:24 »

Hi everyone, there's been some major updates to the kit. Let me know if you guys have any feedback.

Sunhwan Jeong · « **Reply #23 on:** Tue, 30 March 2021, 21:58:46 »

This reminds me of IQUNIX keyboard

nvh2092 · « **Reply #24 on:** Wed, 31 March 2021, 00:37:59 »

There are no alpha color tilde and pipe in your base, please add them.

elmo · « **Reply #25 on:** Wed, 31 March 2021, 04:19:36 »

I liked Morandi more :/

Nah the Iqunix board is closer to Bento.
This set here has darker more muted colors.

I'm not against adding them but I'm curious to see how many people prefer alpha-colored tilde and pipe.

OmNomNitty · « **Reply #27 on:** Mon, 26 April 2021, 12:11:31 »

Updated the colors, kitting, and added more renders! Let me know what you guys think!

nvh2092 · « **Reply #31 on:** Mon, 26 April 2021, 14:51:43 »

Please make sure that the base kit always has alpha color tilde and pipe first, then add mod color tilde and pipe.

pocketfresh · « **Reply #33 on:** Fri, 30 April 2021, 10:43:11 »

I like that this design is specific and personal. The colorway is good as well. An excellent project of self-expression!

Similarity to other designs, to me, doesn't matter at all. The only way similarity hurts is if it prevents you from hitting MOQ. This hobby has hyper-limited supply and if designers don't intend on constantly re-running sets then similarity is the only way for a person who missed a set to still enjoy customizing their board.

jakk · « **Reply #34 on:** Sun, 02 May 2021, 20:41:41 »

I love this set! definitely gives me some retro-ish vibes with the colors, super well done!

Bonsa · « **Reply #35 on:** Mon, 03 May 2021, 05:11:40 »

hey this set looks like <keyset>!
glad you took the time to compare the colors OP. I like this colorway. Inspiration is absolutely random but it's funny.

OmNomNitty · « **Reply #36 on:** Wed, 23 June 2021, 09:05:57 »

I changed up the name and added novelties as well as deskmats.

Can anyone with GMK experience let me know if the novelties fall under their guidelines or do they need to be less detailed?

Engedi_ · « **Reply #37 on:** Wed, 23 June 2021, 11:23:11 »

Looks similar to GMK bento. I like it

Thank's I'll probably scale the novelties up and compare or do some pixel counting.

holer · « **Reply #40 on:** Thu, 24 June 2021, 01:11:20 »

I enjoy the colors, and i won't hesitate to pick up a base set (assuming you get a European vendor)!

To me the novelties seem generic and have no appeal - it's like they were added because the set had to have novelties. But maybe someone else disagrees

ah yes, anything remotely similar to the colours that other designers used are ultimately their own for use only

chayu · « **Reply #45 on:** Fri, 25 June 2021, 13:57:34 »

I like the colours... but the set does not really evoke EDC to me (I guess it's your EDC). No flashlight, multitool, pen (fisher space pen, tactile turn, or fountain pen), phone... sunglasses are more commonly carried and universal I believe.

EDCs also have many themes- all brass , that orange guy, blackout, tacticool, titanium.... I guess this is more of a minimal EDC set.

Are you trying to wind us up, or have you really not gone through the OP? He has a comparison to other sets, including Bento.

I think it’s sufficiently different, and he actually has pictures of his inspiration, which is _not_ Bento.

Please make sure of your facts before posting snarky comments.
