Heya peeps! I’ve mostly been a
lurker here, but I am not new to this hobby. Just much more
active on reddit, UTMK discord, and keychatter. Anyway, I’d
like to welcome you to the IC for
GMK Metropolis!
Taking inspiration
from the dazzling lights of the big city, this keyset
features pops of color set on a strong blue-black base. The
colors draw a close parallel to traffic lights, while the
novelty icons are derived from classic orientation
signage.
I’ve done my best to solidify the concept and
provide some essentials for getting feedback, but this is by
no means final.

Final Kits
Base kit

Midnight kit - $80 - MOQ of 100
Signs kit - $50 - MOQ of 150
Blocks kit - $30 - MOQ of 100
40% Kit
I know there were a lot
of people requesting this, and I had also worked up what the
kit would be, I am ultimately deciding not to run one. Quite
simply, based off of recent kit runs a 40% kit would not
make MOQ. The pressure and risk that puts on both myself and
the vendors to either buy out the remaining kits, or suffer
people backing out, is too great.

By demand! I’ve
added a few more 1u streetlight-esque caps. There was a
large amount of feedback around icon mods… While i feel that
icon mods would make an imbalance on this set, I felt like
adding a few “traffic” signs to the novelties fit well with
the theme. These have been made on the most consistent cap
sizes to limit kit-bloat (Tab, Caps/R3 Ctrl, Enter, R4
1.25/1.5), as well as space them out across the board in key
areas.
Spacebars - 11 caps
Ask and ye
shall receive! 6u spacebars, accent spacebars, and support
for the split space crowd

Base kit - 158 caps
My goal for
these initial kits was to still provide coverage for the
majority of layouts, while being able to provide some accent
caps and a few novelties in the base set. The goal of the
novelties are to be simple and unobtrusive, so i have only
included 1Us and very few so that they can ship with the
base set.
Midnight Mods - 59 caps
An all
teal modifier pack for making a unified “dark” version of
this set.

Deskmat
25% of you said you already
had a few, but 75% of you were all about
it, so here we are! Pulling from the novelties, but keeping
it abstract enough to give a nod to the intertwining
turnpikes and traffic congestion maps.

NEW! Mini Deskmat
We get it. Deskmats are big. But what if they didn’t
have to be? This smaller size (450x400mm) may serve a bit
better for those with limited desk space.

- FULL Color Comparison Album
Using
the Pantone chips I’ve made an album that shows them side by
side with other popular keysets for you to get a better look
at the colors and how they compare. I will be repeating this
process during the GMK sampling phase as well, so that you
guys can be informed throughout the process.
