KBM ABCDEFU
What started off as an April Fool’s idea, became a serious silly keycap set that I wanted to gift my mates :D.
//// can be used in many ////ing ways and it’s the only ////ing word that you can ////ing put every ////ing where and still make ////ing sense.
So here’s a tribute to the most adaptable and versatile word in the English language.Warning:
The following images are full of terminology that is considered bad, dirty, filthy, foul, vile, vulgar, coarse, in poor taste, unseemly, street talk, gutter talk, bawdy, naughty, rude, crude, lewd, indecent, profane, obscene, blue, taboo, explicit, offensive, off-color, cursing and cussing.

*Inspirational Bull//*/
/
Justification**
Sometimes, there’s no better word to describe how you feel than that four letter F-word. It can mean and express so many things depending on context and phrasing.
What about an Enter key that says ‘//// It’ because you can’t be ////ed hesitating anymore

Or when you ragequit that game, thump that Expletive Escape key?
Or when you do a typo and you hit the “Un/
/
//” Backspace or ‘Fk No’ Delete key to erase something from existence

I mean why wouldn’t you want to be top off typing an angrily-worded message on a toxic forum like Reddit/Geekhack, by hitting a button that says ‘/
/
// You’ as you send it?

In Australia, offensive words can be considered compliments depending on intent, and as George Carlin aptly says - “These words have no power. We give them this power by refusing to be free and easy with them. We give them great power over us. They really, in themselves, have no power. It’s the thrust of the sentence that makes them either good or bad”
Anyways feel free to be offended or not. These are just words. Who ///*/*ing cares?
Updates
KBM also has now come on board as the manufacturer!
There has been a significant rehaul including the colour scheme becoming ‘Dolch’-esque, changes to some terms, plus several more fun deskmats (I hope you enjoy the additions as much as I do). There’s been simplifying kitting structure to 1 base kit, with 2 Modifier only and 2 Alpha only kits.
There’s now a red legend on black kit for a more aggressive aesthetic:

  • KBM is the chosen PBT dyesub manufacturer
  • Colour scheme changed from WoB to Dolch with Red accents, because I felt it looked more appealing
  • Accents were changed to White on Red, instead of Black on Red for better contrast legibility
  • Red on Black modifiers are available for a more aggressive aesthetic
  • White on Black Alphas will still be available as a separate Alpha kit, which you can combine with the Black on White Modifier kit if you prefer
  • Removal of the second base kit, and Black on White alphas
  • Additional top row 2.0u Backspace (“Un////“)

  • Legends on the 40% compatible keys changed
  • Multiple new deskpad designs added: Fubtle, Fucreation, FCK, F Club & F Dot Dot Dot. You can see drafts of other potential ones considered in the render gallery
  • Morons was removed. Fugram renamed to Fuxury
  • ///*/*pad is being considered for it’s own separate potential GB, given that it is associated with another keycap set, and to provide other swearword variations in other languages
