GMK SOYAMILK
A refreshing set thats straight out
of your childhood lunch box and afternoon snacks. A
heartfelt homage to the soyamilk that we grew up with and
remember fondly.
We drew inspiration from a vintage
soyamilk drink box from an era long before our time, hoping
to provide a throwback aesthetic that resonates with our
childhood.
GROUP BUY PAGE IS HERE!
SOYAMILK FOR CHARITY
Because GMK Soyamilk is a
food-themed keycap set, inspired by a drink that raised us,
we want to use this opportunity and platform to pay back to
our heritage, particularly to the elderly in the Asian
American community that shaped us into who we are.
As a
design team, we are pledging to donate a percentage of our
profits towards the charity
Heart of Dinner, which has a goal of nourishing NYCs East Asian elders
with love and food every week.
Proof of donation will
be provided for posterity after the group buy.
If this
is a cause that resonates with you, please consider
supporting the project or donating towards the charity!

2021.05.21
All of our international
vendors have been confirmed!
Updated kitting released!
You guys sure filled out a lot of IC forms, and we did our
best to accommodate!
-Basekit now has better ISO
support, F13, and full Alice and Arisu compatibility.
-ISO
users get novelties too!
-Small keyboards dont have to
get left out, please give us feedback on our Extensions Kit
if you really need it!
-Quite a few of you asked for
Latin alphas, and we are pleased to unveil the Latin Alphas
kit.
We still stand by our choice to leave Cangjie
sublegends as the default alphas in our basekit, as it stays
true to our chosen theme and our personal heritage.
Please
be sure to fill out
our NEW IC form
so we can gather your feedback on our new kitting!
Big
thanks to Entity. for whipping up some awesome renders!
2021.05.26
Minor changes to kitting
-Changed 2.5u spacebar
in the 40s kit to be an additional 2.0u spacebar
2021.06.07
Colour update!
-We have chosen a new blue for
the kit to more closely match the shade of blue that you can
see in the old kit renders
-Blue is now RAL 260 50 25
instead of RAL 5023
-While working on our other
renders, we noticed that the shades of our colours were not
matching the vision we had from our original kits, so we
have adjusted the blue to better fit our preferences
-Check
out our new kit renders and let us know how you feel!
2021.07.19
Collab reveals! We
are thrilled to announce that we are going to have metal
artisans available for group buy.
Check out our RAMA
Works and Monokei artisan keycaps!
Additionally, we are
very excited to be working with RNCables on a Soyamilk
themed custom paracorded USB cable!
Minor kitting
update: We removed the arrows from the numpad because we
felt that they were extraneous and took away from the clean
minimal aesthetic that we prefer.
2021.08.19
Weve been saying Coming Soon TM for the last few
months, but this time we mean it!
Deskmats are finally
here!
We are so excited to present our two designs:
Slice of Home and
Milk Carton.
Slice of Home was
inspired by the memories evoked by the Tong Lau buildings of
Hong Kong, a style of housing that combined residential and
commercial spaces into a vibrant and tight knit
community.
The Milk Carton mat was of course inspired
by our favourite flavours and varieties of Soyamilk, and was
designed by our good friend retainerbox! A massive thank you
to them for their time and creative expertise.
Check
out their other work at
their Instagram page!

Soyamilk For
Charity!
This update means a lot to us. From the start
of the project, we wanted to find some way to give back to
the community that raised and shaped us into who we are
today.
We have decided that the way we want to show
this is to donate a percentage of the profits we receive as
designers to a charity that we believe strongly in:
Heart of Dinner.
This organization aims to provide and deliver
necessary pantry and food items to East Asian elders in the
NYC area.
If this is a cause that resonates with you,
please consider supporting the project or donating to the
charity!
Sneaky Kitting Update:
We added in R1 End
and Pg Dn for 1800 compatibility.
Updated kit pricing
is subject to change, pending new quote.
The change is
not expected to be major, as we are only adding two 1u
keys.

More
collabs??
We are incredibly excited to be working with
Joe from IV Works on this collaboration project.
We are
all huge fans of the Av3 keyboard, and to be able to work
with him on this one is incredible.
Also RN Cables
surprised us by coming up with an incredible juice box
artisan for us!
The details on it are exquisite.They
will be available for purchase alongside the cables.
2021.09.23
Added additional render images to the IC page of the
set on keyboards that weren’t beige/soya coloured.
Sorry
to neglect all the other colours for so long, we just got a
little caught up in the whole theme!
Hope that these
new images give a better idea of how the set will look on
your keyboard!
Also the IC page was getting a little
lengthy, so formatting has been added to streamline the
post.
TO DO LIST
-Count sleeps until the GB!
