Introducing GMK November Fog
a set designed to evoke those cooler and foggier days of the
late fall
GB is live now - Group Buy Thread Here
November is a time of change.
It’s those late autumn days when we get ready to
welcome the winter. The days are cooler and the mood gets
calmer.
Nature is preparing for its winter slumber and
there is a softness and stillness in the air.
The
weather shift brings on cloudier days and foggy skies.
The
scents of the surroundings color the experience - pine and
mountain air in the forests - a wild landscape.
The
inspiration is that time and feeling spent immersing oneself
in nature at the tail end of the year. It’s about cool days,
overcast skies, and a fog that permeates throughout bringing
a freshness and calm to all.
Color information:

Colors The colors are selected
from the above photo that I took while on a hike in the
Cascade Mountains about an hour outside of Seattle, WA.
On
this foggy November day, the temps were in the 40s, it was
cool and breezy, and low clouds and layers of fog were
rolling through the hills.
These colors are chosen
because they have a naturalness to them, but as the same
time, a cooler feel.
Note: The physical colors on the right were taken on a
neutral gray card and the photo is color corrected (may
look different across monitors). Pantone /is still/
out of the physical plastic chips for two of the colors,
but I’ve verified with multiple types of paper Pantone
chips and multiple adjacent color plastic ones that these
are the best colors for the set.
This set was first posted to r/keycapdesigners
here
Changes: Initially the alpha color was planned to be
Pantone 621c, but in person it was too vibrant and
spring-like. The other candidate, 7541C, ended up fitting
the theme perfectly.

The tones are specifically chosen to be largely
neutral and also balance each other to the point where they
work in a harmony, and no color is overbalancing another.
This gives the set more flexibility across board designs,
colors, and desk environments. For those boards that are
very hard to match, this set should at least be adequate or
better on most.
Here are renders on multiple boards, in an array of
colors that include ones very tough to match:

Kitting:
Base Kit:
Description:
More
This has a large amount of support for various
layouts that most people use. There are a lot of debates
about what the ideal kitting size is, and based on IC
feedback, this works for most.
This ensures that the
kit can maintain relevancy if people buy new keyboards (as
tends to happen in this hobby….) or want to swap it around
across different boards.
Given the longer lead times of
GMK these days, it’s even harder to predict which board
layouts you’ll be using when the set delivers, so for this
reason a larger kitting is better tuned to the moment,
especially given that this is meant to be a more versatile
set.
Novelties:
Description:
More
These novelties are meant to evoke cooler days of
late fall hikes and excursions into nature. The idea was to
keep them completely natural, no signs of people. They’re
meant to put you in the mindset of a late fall hike, where
it’s just you experiencing nothing but nature. There is a
stillness and oncoming chill, yet there is so much life.
Bars:
Description:
More
These are some more space bars so you can hone
that aesthetic, or support your more obscure layouts. They
match the alpha and accent colors.
Extensions:
Description:
More
This kit provides support for 40s layouts and
other support for more esoteric layouts.

The PNW has a lot of landscape commonality with
Northern Europe, so it makes sense there were a lot of
requests for this. I can’t wait to visit some day.

Owl Keycap:
This is a milled solid brass keycap that’s been PVD coated
with a polished silver fininsh. It uses the owl design from
the novelties, which is milled into the surface with
precision CNC machining. The eyes are enamel filled and are
luminecent, so they will glow if first given light. This is
a special one.
Abstract Trees Keycap:
Design Inspiration
This keycap is a custom design by Kate from Hibi created
specially for GMK November Fog. It is meant to evoke the
forest theme, but not overtly be that. Because of that, it’s
a design that could fit any situation, yet still call back
to the theme of the set. This is a machines aluminum keycap
that’s custom anodized to match the Panton of the accent
color. It has 11 ridges to represent the 11th month.

Both keycaps are machined aluminum and anodized to match the
pantone of the accent color. Each keycap has parts that are
milled more deeply and are filled with enamel color matched
to the Pantone of the mod color. The scenes are completed
with laser etched designs. I’m thrilled that KeyLabs is
doing their first ever metal enter key as a collaboration
with November Fog
