[IC] GMK Spark
« on: Fri, 30 January 2026, 21:10:19 »
FILL IC FORM




I would like to present: Spark

GMK Spark brings energy and nostalgia through electric colors, playful accents, and clean thematic novelties.
Yes, it’s a shockingly familiar theme ;)  Let’s just have fun with this one. When was the last time we had a nice yellow set?

This is a design I submitted to the GMK Design Competition which will announce finalists in Feb!
If it doesn’t move forward through the competition and there’s still enough interest, the plan is to run it as a standard group buy with regional vendors as is tradition.


Please fill the IC form and share with your communities.




PROPOSED INITIAL KITS

Base Kit

Comprehensive base to future proof. Good?

Alt Alphas Kit

Alphas plus Base lets you kit a second board = Value

Extension Kit

This kit lets you change things up a bit and add compatibility for some fun layouts like 6-key 40’s, mini bars, BAE, and a full yellow build instead of accents.


FILL OUT THE IC FORM, LINK UP TOP!
 
Reminder that this is initial kitting and will likely change after reviewing feedback, quotes/pricing, and what I ultimately intend for the design.
I am going back and forth between including accents/novs in base or moving to the extension kit.
Alt alphas are questionable, so might cut those and focus on the main colorway. Please tell me if you want it!

Why no international kit?
UK/EU vendors cannot keep subsidizing this for you.
If you show me we can get close to 50 buyers, then we’ll run it. Vote with wallets!

RENDERS
Disclaimer: These renders attempt to convey the real life colors/textures. See sample pics below too.


Cloudnine by Machina


Machida by FruityKeeb


Ocho Cuatro 2.1 by daji


Zig Zag by Lowkey Keyboards



As always, and sincerely, special thanks for the renders to @pontus





COLOR SAMPLES

The only one missing is the custom metallic CV Yellow, which is still in progress.
Flow marks won’t be an issue since this material will only be used for the legends, they’re typically only a concern when the entire cap uses specialty plastics.
It will look really nice on the legends with subtle effects <3




You can order GMK samples from regional vendors or directly from GMK, so you can see the stock colors in person.





VENDORS

TBD


PRICING, DESK MAT, ARTISAN, COLLABORATIONS

TBD

I wish the base is completely light yellow including the accent and modifiers just like the alphas.
