Colors

U9 – L9 – DY – TU5

Here’s a quick photo with all the final colors (and a comparison between TU5 and TU2).
I did my best to showcase the colors, but it’s worth noting that DY Purple is lighter in real life.
For context: TU5 is GMK’s version of SP’s VBV color that was used in GMK HyperFuse Origins.

Collabs

I will list them all on the GB thread

If you are a Maker and want to collab, send me a DM on Discord (g_tour).

First of all, thank you all for the love and support for the set. The amount of interest it got in such a short time is astonishing (I suppose Beige and HyperFuse are a deadly combination, huh).
Well, I got you, thanks to GMK, Oblotzky, NovelKeys, and the other amazing Vendors involved – we want to make the set a reality.

Kitting Changes:
After talking with Vendors, I quickly realized it wouldn’t be realistic not to include 6.25U bottom-row, as it’s what most buyers use.
For this reason, the kitting has been changed.
The good news is that ALL the keys from the previous kitting are still here.

Kitting Changelog

Base Kit:
- Added 6.25U bottom-row.
- Added R5 1U Fn (Mainly for 1800 Support with a 6.25U bottom-row).
- Added R4 2.25U Shift (For Type-K and 660M Support).
- Added Mod-Colored Pipe/Tilde.

Accents Kit:
- Added R1 1U ''GEEKHACK'' key.
- Added DY Purple Accents with Standard Legends (R1 1U Esc and ANSI/ISO Enter)
- Added R5 1.25U ''Hyper'' and ''Beige'' in both color combinations.

Other Changes:
- Fixed some minor legends alignment.
- Improved render lighting and color accuracy.
- Added three more board renders.
- Added packaging design.
- Added samples photo.

incrediblejr · « **Reply #4 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 04:21:26 »

Stepped control, 6u spacebar and even managed to squeeze in F8 in base,

kitting!

Joke/satire IC aside, make this happen with current base kitting!

Randomlosername · « **Reply #5 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 04:32:47 »

Wish this wasn’t a joke! 😭 I was just talking about HFO lol.

quaks · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 04:42:40 »

DirtyGingy · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 06:52:30 »

I love and hate this. Run it in DCS so you can use the stock SP colors since that's what they are

Maxximum · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 07:23:24 »

Unironically this goes crazy hard

0ver.heaven · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 07:30:16 »

Ngl, I'd buy that set, looks sweet. Please make it happen.

vinnielikeskeebs · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 07:51:35 »

The entire set would be an easy buy for me… I hope this ends up being real though new day..

NoWrinkles · « **Reply #20 on:** Tue, 01 April 2025, 12:03:15 »

Stepped Control and 1.5U Supers in Base should be the norm. If only this wasn’t a joke

Not quite yet!
I was already planning a big update for next week, but let me take the opportunity to share a quick bit of good news in the meantime.
Thanks to GMK and Vendors, we're trying to make the set a reality—with the group buy planned to start before the end of the month.
Huge thanks to all of you for the love and support so far.
See you next week

Yes they ****ed us all. And instead of running Origins colors for the last batch they ran the disgusting colors.
Love the kitting btw.

Unfortunately, the kitting is final.
But with the spacebars being L9, you could easily grab (or you might already have them) spacebars from other sets. It's the beauty of Beige kek

Manukbs_ · « **Reply #42 on:** Sat, 12 April 2025, 06:46:00 »

I'm so happy

MarieKB22 · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 12 April 2025, 07:28:03 »

Thank you for making this a reality! Excited to pick this up!

Very cool to see this become real, although I'm not certain whether I'll be ordering a set yet. Definitely call me next April when it's time for HyperDolch though.

VXQN · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 15 April 2025, 04:43:31 »

This looks really nice but can you explain a little more about the slightly odd inclusion of the old "ok boomer" meme?
