Know before you buy
The GMK British Racing Green R2 set is crafted from high-quality ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its ability to produce crisp, vibrant colors and a smooth, premium texture.
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX switches and compatible MX-style clones. As long as your keyboard uses this standard stem design, the set will fit.
The legends are created using a double-shot molding process, which means the characters are molded into the plastic rather than printed on top. This ensures they will not fade or wear off, even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is a lower-height, sculpted keycap shape that is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a slight curve that helps your fingers find the center of each key, making it ideal for long typing sessions.
Like all ABS keycaps, this set may develop a slight shine or 'patina' on the surface after extended use. Many enthusiasts enjoy this aesthetic evolution, as it adds a unique, personalized character to the set.
