GMK Modern Japanese Desko
Hi there, hope that you’re still all safe during those hard times !
I’m here to introduce my new set : GMK Modern Japanese Desko.
Most people know that I’m a topre lover, I don’t deny it, I always wanted to make a set that would be a direct tribute to a topre keyboard/keyset.
That said, there was always 1 specific topre keyboard that I loved, the norbaforce owned by nmur.
I asked his permission on that, and he was keen to let me use his very personnal colorway to make this particular GMK set !
I decided to tweak it a bit to make it more “modern” by having icon mods and more flashy colors instead of the standard RGB Desko look.
Here is Nmur’s board

That being said, let me introduce you to the kits :thumb:
Base kit :
The base kit is numpad-less, but offers all the compatibility you can think off : WKL, HHKB, WK, split backspace, basic ISO aswell as an extra B.
I also included a bunch of arrow keys and escape keys to customise your keyboard the way you like !

Some people prefere the more OG desko look, just don’t like “weeb alphas” or maybe just want an extra alpha kit to mix and match with other keysets considering that it’s WS1 !
Latin alpha kit :

Eiiti Wada is the father of the HHKB, since this set is related to a topre board, I had to do it, and it does look super good so why not ?
HHKB Kit :

Having some colored spacebars is important for some people. This set also include the necessary kits to use specific layouts such as Alice.
Spcebar kit :

Numpad kit :

**Deskmats :
**


Now let me show you some renders made by Raz, to show the possibilities of the set !











Colors used for the set :

I hope that you like the sets ! if Yes let me know why, and if not, please let me know aswell !!
Feed back is always apprecieated !
If you want to discuss about the set and want to know the future updates, please join my discord server and follow me on instagram !


If you want to support the set, feel free to attach this signature to your GeekHack profile !

F.A.Q :
Q : Will you do a 40% Kit ?
A : No
Q : Will you consider numpad ?
A: XD
Q : Would you consider making a norde/dvorak… kit ?
A: No, it dosent fit my vision of the set + norde and hiragana dosent go well, otherwise people would need to buy base + latin + Norde, which dosent make sense, and nobody would buy that.
Q: Full UK ISO ?
A : No, the basic ISO is more than enough.
Q : Artisan Collabs ?
A : I’d love to ! Especially with people I already worked with in the past !
Q : Cable Collab ?
A : I want to, depends on you guys :)
