Laser GMK - Short Story
The DMC across the docks wasn’t there when she left to
pick dinner at Pho’s. The engine was cold, parked
underneath the GMK and Pepsi quartz-halogen flood that lit
the docks all night. It was bad news.
Her narrow
shoulders hunched beneath the rain stained purple nylon
windbreaker as she reached for the backdoor’s retina
scanner. The lock was loose, somebody had breached in.
“Hayley
Han…” she heard a voice.
“Now that’s a face I haven’t
seen in a long time”, he said.

Included Kits
Base Kit
The base kit contains enough keys to complete a standard US ANSI and ISO, 60%, TKL, or a fullsized keyboard. Highlight accents for the Esc and Enter keycaps are also included, there’s also 6u and 7u spacabers, together with touch type F, J and 5 keycaps - little bars and scoops. The stepped and 1.25u keycaps for Caps Lock read Caps Loco. Feel free to request additions and changes, I’d like to mediate your requests and make this kit as pleasing as possible for the majority of you.
Novelties Kit
We initially had two different novelty kits, after extensive community feedback and design contribution I merged both kits into one. The balance between 1980’s and Cyberpunk references was kept and the included novelties (as you can see in the render above) are as following: Classic retrowave sunset
A cyberdeck terminal
Brazilian DEX pill from Neuromancer
Ghost in the Shell Major’s neck neuralink
Bowl & chopsticks
Skull - same mold from Carbon GMK
Laser beam - same mold from Carbon GMK
-
Biohazard mycotoxin sign - same mold from Carbon GMK
-
Ghost in the Shell Tachikoma (spider tank) eyes
-
Rick Deckard’s Police ID logo from Blade Runner
Ghost in the Shell Individual Eleven logo
Origami unicorn
Pac Man
Blinky, Pinky, Inky & Clyde
Space Invader’s alien
Atari joystick
Toyota AE86 (Hachi Roku) logo
Cassette tape
Stranger Things Eleven’s forearm tattoo
80’s shades
RAD!

DeLorean’s flux capacitor from Back to the Future
There’s also a magenta sunset and a dashboard green Esc. A fuel orange WASD cluster was added in order to complement the Esc/Enter dashboard green keycaps, together with a magenta arrow cluster and the iconic pair of 1.25u 88 digital keycaps to ressemble the classic Windows logo while referencing Back to the Future as well. There’s also a pair of 1.25u DMC DeLorean keycaps.
Please take a moment to express what you’d like to see. If you have a vision, or an idea that you’d like to see implemented, please express and we can try to design it together!
Euro Kit
A Norde kit with non-standard european characters and accents, this is an all-around kit that should work for most (let me know if not).
ErgoPlanck Kit
The ErgoDox and Planck blanks kit containing the modifiers for ErgoDox and Planck. It is possible to make a couple keycaps convex/concave so feel free to request modifications and inclusions if you’re bothered by the lack of ergonomics.
Spacebars Kit
Extra 6u, 6.25u, 7u and the basic 40% spacebars, if you have a 40% keyboard you’ll most likely need this kit.
Hiragana Alphas Kit
I’m going to offer a special alphas only hiragana kit, for the people who appreciate the japanese culture and it’s ties with the Cyberpunk genre. I’d like to request feedback about what’s your preferred version: -
Gaijin - Latin Legends & Hiragana Sublegends
-
Hiragana - Hiragana Monolegends
We will need to decide which kit are we going to use, so please take a minute to vote in this poll right here (there are a couple extra renders on the link as well).
Frequently Asked Questions
Quote Does [kit] include [keycap]?
All kits include only the keys pictured.
Quote I have an ISO board, which child deals would cover my board?
You’ll just need the base kit, if you have an Euro layout you’ll most likely need the Euro Kit as well.
Quote How do I cover my [keyboard]?
You’ll either need: Base Kit
Base Kit + Euro
Base Kit + ErgoPlanck
-
Base Kit + Spacebars
As the novelties are entirely optional.
Quote Why this kit distribution?
I’m trying to achieve modularity with GMK, by offering the child kits exactly as we do with Signature Plastics - Alphas, Modifiers, TKL Modifiers, Numpad, Tsangan, etc.
However, currently, we only have the full kits as displayed.
Quote Are the Corsair Strafe and Logitech G710 covered?
No, you’ll need to use the stock 6.5U space bar.
Render Gallery
In the last render you can see the iterations that I went through when conceiving the cyberspace deck terminal design that you see present on the novelties. The goggles are an implementation of the original Case’s cyberspace deck terminal design from the Brazilian limited edition version of Neuromancer - art commissioned by Josan Gonzalez.
In case you’re curious to know who Agent 88 is, for that you’ll have to wait and sea.
Merchandise & Commissions
I’m working with artisans, enthusiasts, writers, artists and the intended manufacturer in order to deliver the Laser project to the community as a state of the art product. From custom cables and hand made keycaps to keyboard sleeves, a short story novel written by me and custom packaging, all sorts of stuff will be available. If you are interested in contributing with your talents and know-how, please drop me a message (mito.rmk@gmail.com) - I would love to hear your ideas and help you bring your vision to reality.
