Ok… so for those who have followed [IC] GMK IC up to this point, thank you.
So here’s the skinny:
I actually reached out to GMK on this one. Apparently fully clear keycaps present a couple of issues…
First, they’re expensive (even though there are no legends or colors)… something something materials something clear vs. opaque.
Second, they are susceptible to show any and all tooling marks or blemishes (and GMK can’t control this)… and no one wants janky marks on the underside of their keys shining through.
So we’ve arrived at an alternative solution:
I’ve received sample pics from GMK for a “Milky” option

It’s no longer clear.
As such, it doesn’t deserve the name of IC (It’s Clear).
So now it’s called Calcium. Because science.

Better RGB Diffusion
Probably looks nicer with Polycarb boards
Osteoporosis Awareness.
Anyhow, this has also been split into 3 kits because people apparently hate numpads and ISO. So buy what you want I guess.
Pricing tentatively as follows @ 250 MOQ (there’s a 150 MOQ option I was quoted but it’s so ludicrously expensive that it’s not worth it) price breaks at 500 MOQ but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
~$110 Base Kit
~$50 TKL/1800/Full-Size
~$30 40’s/ISO/Ortho
Do me a favor and fill out this form so I know whether to keep working on this set as an actual idea or whether I should laugh it off as a meme and let it die.
