Hello and welcome to my GMK “Merlin” IC. If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that this was formerly known as GMK Cerulean Sage. While I like Cerulean Sage as a name better, it makes me think of Pokemon, and I think there’s a magic card named after it. Also GMK Merlin is a lot easier to pronounce than GMK Cerulean Sage.
If you’ve never heard of me before, here’s a quick tidbit about myself. I’ve been part of the community since early 2015 and started my journey as an Alps aficionado. I have run two GBs for the community for Duck weights, I host the MechMerlin YouTube and Twitch channels, and I’m also the QMK Community Ambassador. This is my first foray into the world of keyset design, I hope you like it!
This set is mainly inspired by my favorite colors blue and yellow and my favorite keysets Nautilus and Triumph Adler. I am also a huge fan of light colored keysets.

Colors
I’m very adamant about using GMK stock colors to make the set affordable and also reduce issues with color matching. I am very inexperienced with this, and I would like to point out that I’m partially color-blind when it comes to the color purple lol.
