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
JessicapsWelcome Jess! Very sure this set will go well :]
One thing I am eager to know, will there be a space bars kit of various sizes? There was a space bar kit that got produced for the GMK Carbon with different sizes. I'm after two 2u space bars. A Blanks kit too.

JessicapsHello Jessica,
I saw this drop pop up in my feed and was taken immediately by the colours :)
Buying this set as a birthday gift to myself, my first keycap set as well. Keep up the good work, hope the drop goes well _b
JessicapsAny chance on teaming up with the folks who run the Topre PBT Spacebars on Massdrop for a color-matched spacebar for those of us with MX/Topre sliders?
DarrenatelloUnfortunately, that render was done previously when I had difference colours for the modifiers.
It is incorrect and I'm sorry for that.
What is shown in the GMK render (the one that has a whole bunch of keys and no keyboard) is what's included, no more no less.
Thanks for understanding.
JessicapsNot a problem whatsoever, I'm still all in for this set and am very much looking forward to it! I just remember this picture in particular as I have a RS96 in literally the same exact key layout as the one in the render and the set just looked perfect to me.
Thank you for the response!
JessicapsSo i have a question. The HHKB in the renders has a purple LED glow behind the keys, is that a mod that was done to the board? Also did you replace your topre stems with hybrid stems?
Thanks!
PuddinglordThat's a render, AKA not a real, physical keyboard.
It's a render of an MX HHKB keyboard (similar to a Duck Viper) with backlighting, not a normal HHKB.
JessicapsJessica, please bring this drop back. I have been sitting here refreshing the Re-Cap page waiting for it to load so i could purchase and it sold out within seconds.... Been waiting for months. pleasssee
