Know before you buy
These keycaps use the Cherry profile, which is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape and comfortable typing experience.
The GMK Deepwell set is compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX style switches, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market.
The doubleshot ABS process ensures that the legends will never fade, while the 1.5mm thickness provides a solid, satisfying acoustic profile and a smooth, premium texture.
While inspired by the classic Honeywell aesthetic, the Deepwell set features a deeper, more refined color palette complemented by unique sci-fi themed accents designed by Tyson.
The Base kit is designed to cover most standard keyboard layouts. You may only need the Novelties or Spacebars kits if you are looking for specific aesthetic additions or support for non-standard bottom rows.
