GMK CYL EVIL LIME

Hi, im Nad and let me introduce my first set, Evil Lime — a set based on GMK N9 and CR base colors, and for the legends, I chose to use a custom purple and lime colors. To be honest, there's not much else to say; I just think they work really well together.

This is also a first step toward understanding the community's interest in this set.
Any additional kitting or changes to the base kit will be evaluated later.

This looks amazing! Any chance for an alpha kit with green legends?

Thanks, Yes, the alpha with lime legends is among the additional kittings I have in mind..But nothing confirmed.

[MartinThePolarBear]

Oh this is nice. Purple & Lime Green go real well together

[Kokaloo]

i would be careful to not end up like darkskel, while people really like it i found it very hard to look at and much preferred my sky modo set
green alphas would be baller

[Keyboard_Dad]

I like! I second the lime legends. Glwic!

[VXQN]

This is nice! I'd like to see it with darker alpha base color though (like, say GMK Slasher) to make the purple really pop more. I always thought that CR and N9 are actually slightly too far apart in terms of tint to work that well together.

Thank you! I thought about it, and that's why I chose not to use a darker purple (like the one of hyperfuse) but something in between purple and magenta... But I'll keep your idea in mind too

Pantone purple-c (pure violet) might be a good option to consider, since the 2070C you chose is still on a darker purple spectrum IMO

Great concept. In.

[YoungManKim]

The alphas in these renders are really hard to look at, hope you consider a color with better contrast. GLWIC!

Sounds great! In case you do decide on this kitting. Any chance we would see renders of lime legends with black alpha's and with grey alpha's. So that we can see which pairing looks better? Either way I'm in!

[nadhole69]

• Added alpha lime kit

• Added SEA Vendor

• fixed a pipe slash mistake in base kitting

[pixelpusher]

I with the people who prefer the lime alphas as the base set   It's pretty cool, honestly

[Manukbs_]

Please also esc purple base/ green legend and instabuy

[meowoofun]

Lose the purple alphas and stick to green as main,

Alternate alphas should be lime alphas with purple legends

[cht1821]

Feel like the purple needs some change, doesn't seem very cohesive with the bright lime colour

[nadhole69]

I understand the skepticism, to have a comparison it would be very similar to darksel with the lime extension, for me it is a great combination but I understand that it is a matter of taste.

[nadhole69]

Please also esc purple base/ green legend and instabuy

Yes, this could be done.

[adh10022194]

I agree with some of the other posts that I think the set would be better with the green alpha as the base and the purple as an extension.

[Zahul]

Lime alpha's look great! Thanks for the quick work!

[jigumina]

The lime alphas looks great! GLWIC and with your first set!

[rayy]

Excited to see how this progresses, i do agree another shade of purple might suffice for legibility reasons IRL.

[Warfinger]

I really like this. Good luck. 

[nadhole69]

UPDATE:

• I read a lot of feedback and they were very helpful, I decided to change the purple to improve the clarity of alphas, and to consider a possible full lime kit(with purple alpha as extension)... I created a form to understand your preference

[SwitchKeys]

Unexpected banger combination. I like it!

[nadhole69]

UPDATE!

1- Updated Vendor List:

                UK: Proto[Typist]
                KR: Geonworks
                EU: Delta Key Co.

2- Surprisingly, the votes for the base kit are very close, and due to the possible return and run of others black-lime set, i’ll probably choose the OG base kit, with the Alpha Lime kit as extras — but nothing is confirmed yet.
3- Added discord channel
thanks to the vendors and people who believe in the project

Any chance of getting unikeys as a vendor

[nadhole69]

UPDATE

Ordered samples from GMK

added some questions to the FORM , such as the possibility of making the numpad separately to lower the price of the base kit, pls filling out

Added Oceania vendor

[nadhole69]

UPDATE!

Added US vendor: Bowlkeyboards

Samples are arrived and i redid all the renders ( N9 were too light in the renders while in real life it is decidedly dark)

Lime 389c is perfect, the purple is a bit too light/lilac in some situations, I wanna try something more vibrant

that's a great followup with the renders.  I own all of the GMK sets with N9 and I definitely think the new renders look closer to my IRL experience.   :thumb:  Still makes me want the all lime version even more.  It looks amazing.  I do agree that the purple needs more of a punch to match that lime intensity.

[nadhole69]

UPDATE


I got permission and added the new GMK skulls in the accent kit, I think these can characterize the set even more.

And a reminder to fill out the form, is really important for kitting, also added new link for discord channel (it was expired)

[Fede_Feo]

Such a nice colour combination

[nadhole69]

-Still waiting the new quotes from GMK and new Purple samples, but there will be big changes in the base kit, I will update the new kits once I get the quotes, In the meantime, you can check them out on my Discord.

-For now, the poll shows the base kit with purple alpha slightly in the lead; I’m reminding anyone who hasn’t done so yet to vote if they are interested in the set.
