ASIA and EU proxies up very soon. Thanks for
playing!
(We’re awaiting an updated render from GMK with the correct
mod colour grey, but these are the correct keys in the
pocket kit)

INTEREST CHECK
Hello
keyboard enthusiasts, you all like Nintendo right? Well
here’s a nice keyset based on the original Gameboy colours.
Hopefully something fun, but fairly understated, and with a
nice dose of nostalgia. Gunpei Yokoi’s revolutionary little
funbox was codenamed ‘Dot Matrix Game’ during development,
which carried over to the product model number ‘DMG-01’. So
here we go, it’s:
KITS
The base kit hopefully
manages that difficult balance of compatibility and
affordability, but I welcome community feedback as I’m no
expert in this regard, especially when it comes to the
slightly more esoteric layouts (I only really use 65% and
TKL). I’d personally really like a Colevrak kit as I’m a
Colemak user so speak up if you’re interested in that. If
enough people want something, I’m sure we can accomodate.
And if people like the set, once we’ve hammered out the
details we’ll get some nice renders done to have a good
stare at instead of my shonky photoshopped kle things.
COLOURS
UPDATED 4th Sept ‘18 - I’ve been in contact with
Uniqey/GMK and they’ve confirmed that I can just send them a
Gameboy for them to match the colours to. This will ensure
the best colour accuracy and was my biggest hope from the
start so I’m really happy they’re able to do it and are up
for it. The representative I spoke with seemed genuinely
enthusiastic about it and thinks it’s gonna be a fun
project. All I have to do now is find the closest thing to a
NIB Gameboy I can, (mine is good but I think probably very
slightly yellowed), without spending insane amounts on ebay.
Fresh lookin’ Gameboy acquired!
I’ve mocked this up for
ease of reference. The colours on the Gameboy should be
taken as the goal, rather than the mock ups of the kits,
which may not match exactly. We’ll have nicer renders soon
anyway
VENDORS
Now then, I’ve never
run a GB and have no burning desire to handle the logistics
of one, so I’m very pleased to say that side of things will
be left in the more than capable hands of Jason at TKC
https://thekey.company/, runner of GMK Terminal, GMK Led Zep, DSA Drifter, the
TKC1800, etc. Rest assured, he knows his stuff. There’ll be
the usual proxies to make things better for international
buyers.

NOVELTIES
I’ll be straight with you.
I’ve never bought any novelty packs. But I have a few ideas,
and I welcome the community to get involved here as well. If
we can come up with something special I’m sure we can offer
it up in the GB. I’d really like to include a translucent
green cap, in the Gameboy screen colour, similar to how GMK
Camping included the translucent fire cap. This could be
blank or include a printed legend, but I don’t know what of.
I’ve also included a ‘battery’ windowed 1u key in the base
kit. This would have to be pad printed and would be
dependant on whether the word will even fit on a 1u key.
TIMEFRAME
Well, there’s no shortage of GMK GBs running at any
given time so there’s no use waiting for a gap. The Key
Company have some other things in the pipeline so this set
won’t run for a while, but if people are into it then
hopefully the good word can spread and by the time the GB
launches there’ll be huge swathes of you all ready to pounce
and help turn these ideas into beautiful, cold, hard,
doubleshot ABS plastic.

PS. Thanks to Plex for the original keyboard render
and Xondat for use of the 280 (even though I didn’t ask
permission).
EDIT: Added a 40s kit and changed the
spacebar kit to just include accent colour
mini-spacebars.
EDIT 2: Added colour guide and sig.
