Know before you buy
These keycaps are manufactured from high-quality 1.5mm doubleshot ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its crisp legend clarity and the signature sound profile preferred by mechanical keyboard enthusiasts.
The Mainframe kit features standard Latin-character legends, while the Neon Tokyo kit utilizes Katakana-style legends. Both kits maintain the same cyberpunk-inspired colorway and custom modifier designs.
The artisan keycap is designed to be compatible with standard MX-style stems. It is specifically sculpted in the Cherry R1 profile, making it best suited for the top row of your keyboard.
The Corrupted Data kit serves as an expansion or accent set rather than a full base kit. It includes specialized keycaps with unique, stylized legends that lean further into the set's cyberpunk aesthetic.
Yes, GMK’s doubleshot ABS process ensures that the legends will not fade or wear off over time. While ABS plastic can develop a slight shine with heavy, long-term use, it remains the industry standard for premium keycap sets.
