deskmats

“For as long as I can remember, pixel art has always had special meaning to me. While working with pixels, the simplest form of digital art, I feel I am solving a puzzle. The constraints of a limited colour palette and the challenge of coming up with the perfect grid and alignment to achieve my artistic goals brings me immense enjoyment. I also feel a sense of nostalgia from my upbringing around early video game graphics.” – Retoid of BKM Caps

Combining the love of pixel art with their love of the mechanical keyboard hobby, Retoid utilized their favourite pixel art palette EDG32 (32-bit) which was used as a starting point for the original 32-Bit Build deskmat design. The Navy colourway is inspired by black and gold PCBs, Clay by the popular Olivia colourway, and Aged Olive by classic military-style electronics and avionics. Each colourway is accompanied by an accent colour reminescent of their favourite switch: the Holy Panda.

Following our trend of loving all things purple, we’ve brought in the luxurious and svelte American Haptics Workmats for you to enjoy! Amassing an impressive 62.5cm (24.5in) x 40.5cm (16in) surface area with five small compartments and one large work space, building a keyboard has never been more tidy. And with the bright lavender colour it will be nigh-impossible to lose any parts!

American Haptics Workmats are constructed with a super soft, heat-resistant silicone rubber, allowing for worry-free soldering. They are also hand-made in Richmond, Virginia with a high level of quality control and a drive to perfect their product.

Do not cut on the Workmat, otherwise you risk damaging the surface irreversibly.

DCS Blue Moon is made in the image of the lunar phenomenon, reflecting in a body of water. The cream white legends represent a full moon tinged by the teal tint of the modifier legends, all reflecting into the caps’ deep blue.

Value was a major consideration when this set was designed, striking a delicate balance of quality construction and flexible kitting; between the comprehensive base kit and optional extensions, DCS Blue Moon provides compatibility for virtually every layout. For those who wish to further personalize their board, the “Full Moon” alphas provide a nice contrast to the stock modifiers, and the packed Novelties kit contributes to the overall theme with amazing artwork created by Stellaidascope. Finally, this project features several metal artisan keycaps: a 1u cap from HIBI, as well as 1u and 2.25u caps that glow in the dark, courtesy of Keybee!

“Ya like snek? Well, We’ve got Snek in this 1920’s Rubberhose-inspired artwork titled “Dead Below”.  They are watching. Can’t you see them? The eyes… The bois… They’re everywhere!”
– Cedric R., designer

Dead Below‘s lively design depicts a rubberhose realm of death, presided over by a sinister serpent. Available in both colour and mono styles!

Step into the hypothetical with DMK ЯUBBER, a keycap set that takes its theme from a fictional 1920’s where rubber hose animation was born in the newly-formed Soviet Union instead of the United States. This set is the brainchild of Manu from ELOQUENTCLICKS, who designed its vintage colourway, and features novelties designed by the talented Okami!

DMK ЯUBBER deskmats feature a textured surface, increasing mouse friction and giving you finer control over your cursor. Choose from three designs in a total of five colourways – show your support for the worker with Agriculture and Industry, find new friends with Comrade, or keep it simple with the patterned Marxmat, available in three colour configurations.

GMK Alpine is a beautiful ode to the Swiss Alps, an unforgettable silhouette that those who call Switzerland home know all too well. Bregoli, GMK Alpine’s designer, summarizes their vision of the set beautifully:

Have you ever been in the Alps and wanted to take a piece of it home with you? GMK Alpine is a Keycap set revolving around the beautiful Swiss Alps.

In Switzerland not only do we enjoy hiking, skiing, climbing or touring the mountains but the many different mountain animals enjoy the peaceful life up there and the Farmers watch their livestock while the herd dog plays around in the grass.

The Swiss mountains are a major part of my culture and something I would love to share with you. Even during tragic times, the Swiss alps helped defend Switzerland and gave anyone a hard time invading this beautiful country. They served as not only a shield but also as a bunker to keep the whole population safe.

This is my way of capturing the magnificent alps.
