GMK Blot takes its name from blót, the Old Norse term for a blood sacrifice – a spectacle in which animals were ritually slaughtered, their blood poured into bowls, spread across stones, and sprayed upon nearby buildings and onlookers. The remains of the slaughtered animals would be cooked and feasted upon, accompanied by toasts of consecrated ale or mead to the glory of the gods. The blót was sacred to the Old Norse people, and was an important pillar of their religious practices; the sacrifices given as a gift to their deities in exchange for victory in battle, bountiful harvests, lasting peace, and many other types of favour.
The deskmats for GMK Blot are in keeping with the theme of this ancient custom. “Altar” depicts the Ægishjálmr – the “Helm of Awe” – a symbol said to grant a sphere of protection, often drawn upon the body or shield with blood to strike fear into the hearts of one’s enemies, as well as a pair of Jellinge-style goats being pierced by swords. “Blood Ritual” on the other hand shows a blót in progress, the keycap-shaped ritual stones soaked crimson with the blood of sacrifices, illustrated by stylish pixel art.

GMK Fundamentals brings you all the basic needs of a neat and tidy set. For the people feeling like it’s time to slow down and go back to the basics, GMK Fundamentals has got you covered. Enormous thanks to Tyson for the hard work on this project!
Subdued greys and beige with a hint of colour offer a more subtle appearance, but the same high-quality feel you know and love. Whether you’re at home or in the office (they may be the same now), no matter the board, these caps will get the job done without distracting glitz or glamour.
Back after nearly four years, the new-and-improved QMX Stabilizers from GMK make some great adjustments that set their design apart from other stabilizers on the market! Unlike other stabilizers, QMX stabilizer wires are inserted from the bottom to prevent wire popping and other unnecessary wire movement. Other highlights of the new stabilizers include:
- Noise reducing design
- Optimized guidance of both, slider and wire
- Minimized rattling on the housing
- Advanced overall performance
There’s nothing to be afraid of…
While horror movies have changed a bit since the 80s it’s still fun to watch the classic slashers and remember how they used to keep you up at night. Machetes and masks made a common appearance and as such have left a their mark on the genre. GMK Slasher’s splatter of red catches in the moonlight in the depths of the night. On a deep, dark, two-tone grey backdrop this high contrast set will make you scream.
