Know before you buy
The primary difference is the material; while the original GMK Cafe used ABS plastic, this WS set is crafted from durable PBT. This version also utilizes WS Doubleshot molds, offering a different texture and sound profile while maintaining the iconic aesthetic.
With 192 keys included, this set is designed for broad compatibility. It covers standard full-size, TKL, 75%, 65%, and 60% layouts, as well as many popular enthusiast configurations.
The Cherry profile is a lower-height, sculpted profile that is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It provides a familiar, ergonomic typing experience that is generally preferred for long typing sessions.
Because these are made from PBT plastic, they are significantly more resistant to the 'shine' that often develops on ABS keycaps after extended use. They will maintain their matte finish and texture much longer.
The kit includes a 176-key base set that covers most standard and non-standard layouts, plus an additional 16 novelty keys. These novelties allow you to customize the look of your board with specific themed icons.
