Introduction
In partnership with NovelKeys, I am pleased to bring back the Skyriter keycap set in MTNU profile manufactured by GMK. This vintage inspired, deep forest green, olive, and seafoam colourway is based on the early 50’s typewriter “Skyriter”, from Smith-Corona, and takes motifs from iconic mid-century designs and breezeblock patterns.
MTNU Skyriter can be purchased from any of the following vendors while the international kit will be made available to purchase exclusively through GMK.

also I really like the addition of a 40s kit, though I think I need an ortho kitting to start thinking about MTNU. With the full base kit that’s a lot of money in a drawer for me.
. In all seriousness, I did my best to try and provide a reasonably priced and reasonably sized 40% kit.
