GMK Underworld takes its inspiration from a popular mobile game’s depiction of the Sumerian underworld goddess, adapting her colour palette to a striking red-on-black keycap set with gold accents and hiragana sublegends.

Underworld’s base kit features the broad compatibility GMK kits are known for, with Alice B, ISO Enter, stepped Caps Lock, and more included in its contents. Child kits include a standard spacebar kit in black and gold, and a novelty kit featuring skulls, spears, cages and other character-appropriate iconography.

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.

GMK Blot‘s crimson caps feature runic sublegends, and the base kit covers a wide array of boards in typical GMK fashion, with included ISO enter, Alice B, and F13, among others. Novelties for this project are emblazoned with a variety of Norse iconography, such as the Valknut, Jellinge-style animals, and assorted runic scripture. Additionally, spacebars, as well as ESFR and NorDeUK kits, are available for those seeking yet broader compatibility.

GMK Terror has emerged from the mind of Psyoshi just in time for the spooky month. Inspired by pulp horror legends from both film and print, these deskmats pay homage to the fear of things that go bump in the night that we rationalize for our entertainment.

Two deskmats are available for GMK Terror: the “Welcome to Terrorville” deskmat designed by Inputuniverse, and the “Skulls” deskmat designed by Psyoshi!

“This beautiful deskmat designed by Inputuniverse captures my vision of a sequel that never came to one of my favorite books growing up. After having just escaped death, the main characters are told by their “saviors” they are not headed for sanctuary as they hoped. Instead to a monster hotspot known as Terrorville. So I bring you to Terrorville with me, where the monster stars of old all reside. I hope you enjoy this fun exploratory accent to your setup as much as I did dreaming it up.”
– Psyoshi, on the “Welcome to Terrorville” deskmat

“A step away from the wild side to bring GMK Terror and your keyboard front and centre. The Skullmat is a more subtle patterned deskmat, sure to delight the senses. So whether you want an adventure or to sink into the feeling of Terror, I got you covered.”
– Psyoshi, on the “Skulls” deskmat

GMK Chaos Theory has been a long time coming, and dotnick has truly delivered! The inspiration comes from his recent interest in the topic of chaos theory and everything involved, including: parallel dimensions, multiple universes, the duality of chaos and order, and the math/physics that underpins all of this.

The Order and Chaos base kits provide support for 60%, 65%, 75%, and TKL layouts for terminal ISO and ANSI layouts. There is also support for ergonomic/split keyboard layouts (split space bars and a second B). The R4 2.25U shift supports 660-like and type K layouts. F13 requiring boards and 40% keyboards (R3 1.50U Enter, R3 1.25U Tab, R2 1.75U Backspace) are also supported.

The main novelty that repeats in the accent colors is the symbol of chaos. The concepts of ordered and disordered systems are two commonly studied and connected topics within chaos theory that dotnick wanted to represent artistically in the novelties. In the paired columns of novelties, the symbol of chaos and the symbol of extropy (the extent of a living or organizational system’s capacity and drive for improvement and growth) are featured. Continuing down from R2-R4, two columns of novelties depict fundamental shapes (hexagon, square, triangle, and circle/spiral) in ordered and disordered forms. The ISO enter novelty is an abstract rendition of the nautilus shell/logarithmic spiral motif, and two R4 1.25U and 1.50U text novelties commemorate famous scientists who have contributed significantly to the field of chaos theory.

In collaboration with GMK Chaos Theory are two metal artisans: our first collaboration with HIBI, depicting the Lorenz attractor butterfly with a brass base, colourful PVD coating, and  luminous glow enamel fill. The second is with our friends over at KeyLabs, whose keycap will have 20 possible combinations of enamel infill! The various infill colours will be a combination of two: pink, green, purple, yellow, and red. The keycap has an aluminum base anodized to match the modifiers’ dark purple.
