Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches, which includes most mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Durock.
GMK uses high-quality, 1.5mm thick ABS plastic, which is known for producing a crisp, resonant sound profile and vibrant color reproduction. While ABS can develop a slight shine over time with heavy use, many enthusiasts prefer it for its premium feel and sound.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly lower than the OEM profile, making it comfortable for long typing sessions.
No, the legends will not fade. Because they are created using a doubleshot molding process, the legends are physically molded into the keycap rather than printed on the surface.
This set is designed for standard layouts. If you are using a keyboard with an unconventional bottom row or non-standard key sizes, you should verify your layout against the set's included key sizes before purchasing.
