^ this is my discord that has other stuff too (stream
stuff, keycap stuff, etc) but I made a specific channel just
for GMK Pastel. You can mute everything else and just get
notifs for GMK Pastel! After you join the server, in
/#roles-and-rules, you must get the ‘GMK Pastel’ role to see
the channel!
I’m sorry this took so long to get off the
ground, but GMK Pastel will run in 2020 from Novelkeys (for
US! Will update with proxies outside of US when I figure
that out).
So there are some changes to the colors -
using RAL instead of Pantone now, and the legends have been
made darker to make sure there is enough contrast.
Unfortunately, using pastel on pastel makes for not very
good contrast so this is the compromise.
Here are the
current planned kits:

Spacebar:

I need to update these, they have the window symbol
which I swapped out for ‘Code’.
Currently am
brainstorming/designing novelties and thinking about moving
the ISO + numpad keys into a separate kit? It kinda depends
on how many people are interested (if there’s enough to
separate it out, to make the base kit cheaper!).
Please
fill out this form if you are interested! Will send out
large updates through that (like when the GB launches):

Hi!
**Disclaimer:**I am a complete noob and I
have actually very little knowledge of how to properly run a
GB for a keyset. I’m not a designer and I’m not even
familiar with all the different layouts of keyboards. With
that being said, I will take all the suggestions, critique,
and help I can get to make this keyset a reality!
Inspiration
comes from easter eggs. I’m a big fan of pastel colors, and
thought these colors would make a lovely keyset. This has
been stewing in my mind for awhile, and I wanted to get this
IC out on Easter, but didn’t make it in time. I have a bunch
of other things on my plate but I thought the least I could
do is get an IC started.
I wanted to use 4 pastel
colors: blue, purple, pink, and yellow (the colors in the
GMK Pastel ‘logo’) but I can’t use a light color on another
light color because the contrast is not enough to
distinguish the letters. So I’ve opted for a pastel yellow +
blue and then the pink and purple are darker tones. I
understand this means using all custom colors and yes, I
know that will mean at least a higher MOQ. But I believe!
Without
further ado, I present..
Here’s a graphic I made of the keys that will be
included in this set. The colors are darker in this graphic
(most notable the pink) but I will try and update this with
more accurate colors soon.
The background is an image
that my artist friend Christy (BeKyoot) made (I’ve already
asked and gotten her permission!) and you can find more of
her cute artwork on her
website
and
instagram.
And here’s a preliminary render done by thesiscamper!
I plan to get more renders once the colors are 100% decided
upon.
I expect the colors to be light so closer to the
render than the graphic that I made.
I believe this
supports 1800, 75%, WKL, ISO, and HHKB (in addition to the
standard full keyset). Please let me know if I’m missing
keys for those kits! I kinda just gathered the extra
keys/kits from looking at other GMK sets and so I might be
missing/have extra of something.
I want to run this via
GMK, Cherry profile, but I suppose that’s not entirely set
in stone just yet! I don’t think I’d go for SA but I suppose
DSA might be a possibility.
Oh, and yes, I know
apolotary ran an
IC for pastel GMK
but it had very different colors and I have already reached
out and asked if me running this IC would be okay! So yes, I
made sure I wasn’t stepping on any toes before posting this
Please feel free to share your thoughts and
comments, and of course, if you’d be interested in a set
like this.
Cheers,
Tiny
