Hey everyone,
Upas here from CannonKeys. And I’ve
finally decided to design my own GMK set:
GMK Solar
Red
featuring glow in the dark keycaps!
The green plastic will glow in the dark

Background:
I’m a casual sneakerhead - I don’t
get crazy with it (I leave getting crazy for keyboards), but
I really do appreciate the design that goes into a lot of
sneakers.
This keyset is inspired by one of my favorite
sneakers - the Nike Air Yeezy 2 - specifically the “Solar
Red” Colorway.
This shoe costs an unreal amount of
money. If you think Keycult and TGR aftermarket prices are
bad… you should check out these sneakers’s aftermarket
prices.
Because of this, I’ve never owned a pair, but
it was one of the first sneakers I really wanted when I was
first getting into that hobby.
Similar to keyboards,
these sneakers were a limited release - only 5,000 pairs
were made. So after missing out on release day, aftermarket
prices were already high - and they’ve only risen since.
One
of the standout features of this shoe were that the soles
would GLOW IN THE DARK.
In any case - I wanted to
design a keyset to pay homage to that sneaker and this is
what I came up with. I’d like to introduce GMK Solar Red!

This set
features something we’ve only seen in one other GMK set (to
my knowledge) - glow in the dark keycaps.
You might be
familiar with the Glow in the Dark plastic that looks kinda
milky, then turns a faint green-yellow when exposed to UV
light.
We’re going to go for that same glow effect on
the green plastic, reminiscent of the sneakers.
Because
we’re using this special plastic, either the price, or MOQ,
or both, may be higher than usual.
To mitigate some of
the cost concerns, I’ll be using stock colors for the black
and the red (CR and RO2 respectively).
Kits:
I’m
offering a large base kit, with basic 40s/ortho
support, a spacebar kit, and a BRED kit.
Borrowing from
the sneaker world, BRED simply means “Black and Red” - for
those of you who prefer the classic look.

Spacebar Kit for Split Space and Alice Support
BRED kit for the classic Red on Black look
Other Comments:
I’m not planning on running a
deskmat or novelty kit for this set, but if it seems like
that’s something people really want, I’d be willing to
consider it.
This shoe was released around Kanye West’s
“Glow in the Dark” Tour. So novelty kits would likely be
based on sneakers and elements from that tour.
I’m
waiting on a quote from GMK and will be updating this thread
with MOQ/Price when we know more.
There are
currently no vendors (other than CannonKeys) lined up or
estimated timeframe
