Inspiration
GMK/SA Pyramid is an upcoming set
with a color scheme based off of the cover art for the album
“Pyramid”
https://imgur.com/1usvgkF), by The Alan Parson’s Project. The kit uses two shades of
gray as base colors, with orange and cyan legends and
accents in an attempt to recreate the general balance of
colors in the original image.
GMK or SA Profile
The
feedback we really want to hear from this IC is what profile
the community is more interested in. There are ups and downs
to both profiles due to the different manufacturers and the
requirements they each have. Either way it goes, the set
will still be made of ABS plastic with double shot legends,
and use MX stems.

MOQ of 250 units (This is due to the set using
custom colors)
~$150 per base kit (Will update after
hearing back from GMK)
Manufactured by GMK/Uniqey
SA

$140 at 150 MOQ (Base kit)
$140
at 100 MOQ (Base kit)
Probably a longer lead time
Manufactured
by either Signature Plastics or Maxkey
These prices are
not finalized, and will be updated as we continue to get
community feedback and work with potential manufacturers.
Kits
Base kit
Let us know if you think anything should be added to
the base kit. Target price is around $140-$150.
Space bar kit
Were targeting around $25 for the space bar kit.
ErgoDox kit
This set might be hard to reach MOQ, but we’ll just
have to see how popular the set becomes. We’d like to target
around $50-$60, but again will change based on interest for
it.
Novelties
Currently, we don’t
have a novelty set fully developed. We’re playing with a few
ideas for designs, but we also want to get other ideas from
the community before we finalize the set. There will most
likely be another interest check for just the novelties
after this one, where we will finalize the designs.
Whats
Next?
If this set gets enough interest, we’ll be
getting some high quality renders to better show off the
set.
We will also likely launch a secondary IC based
off of the feedback we received from this IC.
The point
of this interest check is to help tailor the set to the
communities needs. If you dislike part of or need something
else added to the set, let us know. Any and all feedback is
appreciated, and we hope to see you all in a GB soon!
Thanks!

Update: After getting a bit of feedback, I’m going to
slightly shift the colors. Some people really like it, but
others feel like it’s too close to some existing sets, which
I completely understand. The goal of these changes is to
keep the feel of the kit, while seperating from the other
kits people have mentioned. I’ll update again when I get
home and make a mockup of the new scheme. Thanks you
everyone for the feedback so far, it’s all been constructive
and really helpful!
Update 2: 1.75 shift and Fn key,
plus a few 1u pieces for compatability will all be added due
to popular demand!
