Hey guys!

Thank you for all your comments so far, they have been really helpful in our design process

I'll start off with a quick introduction and follow with the updates we will make to the kit.

In summary, "we" are two Australian high school students in our final year and have been involved in the keyboard community for a year or two now and have enjoyed the strong culture of the group.

We decided to run a group buy kit because we thought it would be an enjoyable endeavour, working with a community to push a product to market that was of our own design.

The IC thread so far was really just to gauge interest in the colour scheme and we are currently working on expanding our kit's versatility [DONE] and designing novelty keycaps.

The kit itself, though some say was inspired by Noel, was more inspired by the soft texture of pastel colours and the clean look that they give to a keyboard. In addition to this, we really liked the look of the blue legends on pastel pink keycaps.

On the topic of legends, we realise now that the size of the text is quite small and that the font isn't the default GMK style. This was entirely due to our lack of knowledge of setting up designs and rendering but rest assured the final renders and kit will have the default size and font of a GMK keycap set.


We are also currently taking your layout recommendations into consideration and will reveal the following in due course:

- Support for Alice layouts
- A 40s kit
- Spacebar kits it both white and the accent colour to decrease the size of the main kit
- Fixing the issues with the colours of some of the keycaps on the base set

Finally, once we have sorted all these things out we will get more renders of the set to give you guys a better picture of what it will look like.

Thanks for your understanding and we look forward to getting this project rolling

PS: if we undergo short periods of inactivity that is likely due to either a busy school schedule or the disparity of time zones
