Know before you buy
The GMK Amethyst set is crafted from high-quality ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its ability to produce sharp, vibrant legends and a smooth, premium finish.
These keycaps feature a 1.5mm wall thickness. This is the standard for GMK sets, providing a solid, consistent sound profile and a durable feel during typing.
The legends are created using a doubleshot injection molding process. Because the characters are molded into the plastic rather than printed on, they will never fade or wear away over time.
The Base kit covers most standard layouts, including TKL and full-size boards. If you are using a non-standard layout like a 65%, 75%, or Alice-style keyboard, you may need to add the Extension or Novelties kits for full compatibility.
The set uses the standard Cherry MX stem design. They are compatible with almost all modern mechanical switches, including those from Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and Durock.
