Know before you buy
The GMK Honor set uses the Cherry profile. This is a standard, sculpted profile known for its comfortable typing angle and ergonomic feel.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX style switches. This includes the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market today.
These are manufactured in Germany using 1.5mm doubleshot ABS plastic. The doubleshot process ensures the legends will never fade, and the 1.5mm thickness provides a solid, premium sound profile.
The Light and Dark kits primarily differ in their base color orientation, allowing you to choose between a lighter or darker aesthetic for your primary keys. Both utilize the same high-quality WS1 white and dark gray color palette.
The optional RAMA x Honor artisan keycaps are designed specifically for the Cherry R1 profile. This means they are intended for use on the top row of your keyboard, such as the function or number row.
Like all ABS keycaps, these may develop a slight shine after extended use due to friction from your fingers. This is a natural characteristic of the material that many enthusiasts appreciate for the unique texture it develops over time.
