Taeha Types · « **on:** Mon, 09 July 2018, 18:51:52 »

Hey everyone, it’s Nathan Kim. This is the first time I’ll be attempting to hold anything interest check/group buy related so please bear with me!

Hopefully most people in the hobby have heard of/seen my YouTube videos (https://youtube.com/nathantaehakim) by now. 100% meme, but also 100% truth, I have been dubbed “Mr. Sleeves”, mostly for this sweater that I often times like to wear in my videos:

What started off as a banter in Discord servers, I would like to propose the creation of the “Mr. Sleeves” addon kit, which for now is meant to complement the GMK Muted base kit, but should in theory work well with other neutral base sets.

Here are the proposed colors:

[IC] GMK Muted/9009 “Mr. Sleeves” Addon Kit (HUGE UPDATE)

Here are some renders by the amazing janglad with the GMK Muted base set:

I have gotten permission from jchan/dixiemech to run/create this addon kit and would like to thank them for that! ~~For now, I intend to offer the same keys offered in either Muted addon kit:~~

HUGE UPDATE 1:
So after much consideration, I have decided to include all the keys in the proposed kit in BOTH colors!! Here is a render of the new kit:

The colors used in the render are the C version of the Pantone colors I initially wanted and while although I think it still does look nice, I think I would prefer to go through with a color matching process to achieve the original colors, which is what I plan on doing.

I have received quotes as well and they are very reasonable/where I wanted them to be and am currently in talks with vendors!

We are already working on similar colours for the accent kit.

I really like the colors. Consider adding a 2U spacebar if you would.

fcoury · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 09 July 2018, 20:58:12 »

I don’t even know what this is but I see Mr. Sleeves and I want it.

Seriously though, it’s a perfect small project and I like it.

489-C was actually one of the alternate colors I looked at before coming up with P-55-9-C that I use for my set. I love your accents

Godspeed, sleeves dude.
Also: Just so you know, your Orange Alps video is still my go-to for making people interested in Alps.

You don't need permission. Its just the right thing to do since he is marketing his addon kit specifically for the Muted.

Just another example of a creative respecting other creatives in the community.

Ha! I weirdly had a thought while watching your latest upload, I wondered how long until we'd see a Nathan Kim edition board of some sort. Well this is a solid first step. I like it. I'm in.

I would have thought your first project would have been actual keyboard sleeves to carry or store keyboards with the material based on your actual shirt sleeves.

But I suppose this works too.

Now Mr. Tables needs to sell small custom keyboard tables so you can photograph your boards on them.

Im in. Mr. Kim.

Oblotzky · « **Reply #35 on:** Thu, 12 July 2018, 20:13:12 »

Have you talked with GMK about MOQ? Custom colors require 250 kits purchased, but that's usually big base sets, not sure if the same rule applies to smaller kits like this one. And since there's only just over 250 Muted sets itself that exist, it might be tough to get that many sold. Should look into what other sets it might look good with to increase reach.

gnunin · « **Reply #36 on:** Thu, 12 July 2018, 23:54:30 »

Muted r2 would be nice. I'm in for the "Sleeve" colors so that I have them 'til the day when I can get a hold of a GMK Muted.

Only base set, not the accents. And I'm still quite hesitant to order from Keyclack :/

Just sent an email requesting quotes, but you speak some wise words! Hopefully the prices come out nicely, but I should definitely market it with more sets that it would look good with.

Off the top of my head 9009 would also definitely work, I also envision the upcoming GMK Monochrome would look good as well

godlikekitten · « **Reply #41 on:** Mon, 23 July 2018, 22:47:33 »

The kit has really grown on me. Would make me cave and pick up a Muted set for sure.

Puddsy · « **Reply #42 on:** Mon, 23 July 2018, 22:48:06 »

i bet it would look good with 9009 too

This is hilarious but I need it, hopefully it matches nicely with 9009.

HUGE UPDATE!

So after much consideration, I have decided to include all the keys in the proposed kit in BOTH colors!! Here is a render of the new kit:

The colors used in the render are the C version of the Pantone colors I initially wanted and while although I think it still does look nice, I think I would prefer to go through with a color matching process to achieve the original colors, which is what I plan on doing.

I have received quotes as well and they are very reasonable/where I wanted them to be and am currently in talks with vendors!

Awesome news. Now I need to drop money on a 9009 or Muted set in preparation for these.

Is there a chance for a Muted rerun to go along with this new kit?
