[IC] GMK CYL Orange Alert
« on: Tue, 26 May 2026, 14:51:50 »
IC Form
lots of questions you may have could already be in here, please have a look!

About
alert-like set but orange. thats about it. i like orange

Colors


Kits





Why Katakana?
went with katakana instead of something like arabic because i think it supports the industrial/technical tone of the alert series more. i picked katakana instead of hiragana because hiragana looks softer than katakana which again i feel doesnt support the tone of alert theme sets. also i think that katakana doesnt overpower latin legends as much compared to arabic.

I do believe as well that all keycap set with "alert" in their title should include the alert in the base kit out of respect for the concept. Including an alert child kit and just don't call the base kit "GMK XXX Alert" would be fine too.
But that's just concept coherence, the set is still nice !

ty for the input! im was referencing other alert style sets and they have the accent row in a child kit. green alert, red alert, blue alert all have the accent row in a child kit. some of course have it in the base kit. rn the ic is looking like people want the accent row in the base kit, and to move the beige number row to a child kit and i have no problem with doing that!
