Know before you buy
This set uses the Cherry profile, which is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards due to its sculpted, ergonomic shape that makes typing comfortable for long sessions.
Yes, the GMK Olive R2 set offers support for both ANSI and ISO layouts, provided you select the appropriate kits for your specific keyboard configuration.
These keycaps are made from 1.5mm thick doubleshot ABS plastic. This material is favored for its smooth texture and ability to produce sharp, high-contrast legends that will not fade over time.
No, because the legends are created using a doubleshot injection molding process, the characters are molded into the plastic itself rather than printed on the surface, ensuring they remain crisp for the life of the keycap.
The Olive Green colorway is highly versatile. It looks particularly striking on green-anodized aluminum cases, but it also provides a sophisticated, earthy contrast against neutral silver, black, or cream-colored boards.
