Product Description
Artist and keyboard enthusiast Jessica (you may know her as u/CuteDreamsOfYou on Reddit) got into keycap design as a way to relieve stress after a busy day. What started out with the occasional post on Geekhack and a little tinkering in the Keyboard Layout Editor soon turned into a full-fledged passion Read More
Hey everyone, Jessica here. Figured I'd answer some questions first, so everyone can find what they're looking for.
So, to start off, I'll go over some of the supported layouts (I'm sure there are ones I will miss, so if you don't see your layout mentioned here, please check the main page and see if the keys you need are supported. To be noted, there will be a separate buy for Planck, Ergodox and VE.A-esque layout support if the main set is successful enough.
So, the supported layouts are as follows:
Standard 104, TKL and 60% (Pok3r and similar), 1800, 75%, WKL, HHKB (layout, these keycaps are not Topre stem), Whitefox (most variants), UK-ISO, FC660M/Clueboard.
Includes a 6u, 6.25u and 7u spacebar, which can be used for whatever you see fit.
As for the colours, these are not GMK standard colours anyone else will be able to use. These are hand-picked, custom colours, and as such, there are no real-world examples. However, should the buy succeed and is concluded, I will receive colour samples shortly after which will give production a complete green light. High quality pictures will be posted, of course.
If it tickles your fancy, there is also a GeekHack thread where I post updates and any news about Plum! GH thread is here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=83969.0
Warm regards,
Jessica

Hey guys, quick little update.
Got colour samples today!!!

These aren't great quality pictures because they're just taken with my phone on my coffee table, but I can't go out and get natural lighting because California is actually getting some rain today!
I'm not really pleased with the purple, it's much too dark for what I envisioned this set to be. Basically, I want a less purple purple. As for the alpha colours, I'm quite satisfied with them but I am gonna ask GMK to try a yellow-er one and then I'll decide between the two, to really see which fits better to me :)
No examples of the red accent keys because they're not custom. You can see it here (left side bottom row) http://i.imgur.com/4HansnG.jpg
Thanks again for all the crazy support. 1K was never something I imagined, but you all did it, so for that, thank you.
With love,
Jessica
Please consider R2. I am kicking myself every day for not jumping on. Finances just didn't allow it at the time. I have a plum colored keyboard but no keys.
ViraIn addition i would like to ask if something like GMK Carbon Add-On Keycap Kit: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/30982 might be possible. I do know a lot of international folks that would have liked to join, but didn't join not knowing this would happen.
I can't see any harm done to offer an additional set for extra money. If it fails, it fails, but at least there had been a chance given. The paradigma that this can't be done with GMK can't be broken, if we're not even trying again and again!
Well, if you read the IC Jessica says she would have liked to add a plum novelty but she was unable to create one that she liked.
Then MD got their designers involved and created a lovely, simple plum design that would easily translate to a novelty key.
So while it's true that the IC phase is the place to ask for these things, it simply wasn't an option until this page went live.
Hey everyone! Thanks again for all the support with GMK Plum from the community and we wanted to announce a couple things with this keycap set.
1) Drop point for 1000 units is added now.
2) At 1000 units, we will be adding 3 novelty keycaps to the base set as well. This includes a plum Esc key and 2 plum OS replacement caps.
The novelty will use artwork created by Massdrop's very own @oshet - you guys can see the plum attached here. Note that some changes will need to be made so this can be double-shotted.

Finally, thanks again to @Jessicaps for the great design and being here to help out all the community members.
YanboWu@Jessicaps would either of you be able to comment on the unit-size and row which these plum winkey alternative novelties will be? I'm guessing R4 1.25 for both however a 1.5 would make me so happy.
Don't need Granite to launch again, it's still kept in stock regularly at pimpmykeyboard.
I agree on using a uniform profile set. DSA is my go-to for odd layouts.
