GMK Civilizations [CLOSED]

Hello All,

I'm super excited to be launching the group buy for my first set, GMK Civilizations!



About the Set
I've always been fascinated by history and how various civilizations have built such incredible things as the Pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, the Great Wall, and many more! This set aims to pay homage to those civilizations long gone by representing these various miraculous constructions -- true wonders of the ancient(ish) world

Pricing



As you can see by the gaps, there are still a few pricings yet to TBD for collaborations in various regions. Please know that I am working with vendors to get this sorted out as quickly as possible and will be sure to update this chart as soon as I have more information


Kits

Base Kit



The Base Kit aims to provide support for 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 96-Key, 1800, and Full Size layouts in both ANSI and basic ISO.

Novelties Kit



A great way to deck out your board, and add that extra little bit of flair. These novelties were designed in a line art style representing many different wonders to match the minimalist nature of the set.

Brass Mods Kit



The Brass Mods kit was designed to provide a little bit of extra contrast for those who prefer a more dual-toned keyboard.

Spacebars Kit



The Spacebars Kit aim's to provide support for more niche layouts, such as Alice style boards -- of course there's an extra B!

40s/Ortho Kit



This relatively small 40s/Ortho kit is designed to provide support for the most common 40% and orthographic layouts while keeping the cost down.
The render posted here previously (before Jan 25th) was inaccurate and contained a 1.5u shift that was removed from the final 40s/ortho kit. If your purchased the kit based on that, please reach out to the vendor that you purchased from and request a refund

Collaborations

I'm super happy to announce that we have a lot of really exciting collaborations for this project! Some of these links will be changing shortly as soon as our amazing co-conspirators get their store listings up.

RAMA Caps

In a set where one of the colors is "brass", I would be remiss to not have some brass RAMA artisans! In keeping with the minimalist style of the set however, I wanted to offer a white variant of the Parthenon as well. The white variant of the Parthenon key is made of aluminum and finished with an e-white coating and an enamel inlay, whereas the other two caps are machined out of brass to a smooth polish and then PVD coated before the white enamel inlay is added.

Brass Great Wall




Space Cables

This flawless cable features a white sleeved cable wrapped in techflex for durability, and a cerakoted aviator connector for a little extra flare. Check it out here




CraftKey Resin Cast Artisans

These incredibly detailed artisans depict the Easter Island Moaia and an ancient Egyptian throne room. These can be found on our vendor's store pages in DOM or SA profile. Please note that these keys will not be the same profile as the rest of the keyset.










Mode Designs

This one is really something else. Generatively designed and manufactured with additive techniques out of 316L steel and finished with a bronze coating followed by a gloss laquer, this is a must have!
