Know before you buy
The set uses a standard MX-style cross mount, making it compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX or equivalent switches. Because it includes various kits like the Base and Spacebars, it supports a wide range of layouts, from standard full-size boards to more compact 65% or 75% configurations.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The doubleshot ABS construction is opaque, meaning the legends will not be illuminated by your keyboard's backlighting.
GMK’s 1.5mm doubleshot ABS is highly regarded for its crisp, sharp legends and a distinctively deep 'thock' acoustic profile. While PBT is often cited for its resistance to shine, GMK’s high-quality ABS is prized by enthusiasts for its premium, smooth texture and superior sound quality.
This set features the classic Cherry profile. It is a sculpted, lower-profile design that is widely considered the industry standard for comfort and typing ergonomics.
The finish is smooth to the touch, but it is not slippery. It provides a refined, matte-like feel that is consistent with high-end mechanical keyboard components and is designed to maintain a premium tactile experience during extended typing sessions.
