Know before you buy
The GMK Zìmō set is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which includes most mechanical keyboard switches currently on the market.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the OEM profile, making it a favorite for long typing sessions.
No. Because these are manufactured using a doubleshot injection molding process, the legends are formed from two separate layers of plastic rather than being printed on the surface. This ensures the characters will never wear off.
The Zhuyin sublegends are phonetic symbols used primarily for inputting Traditional Chinese characters. They add a distinct aesthetic to the Mahjong-inspired design while providing functional utility for those who use that input method.
These keycaps are 1.5mm thick, which is the standard for high-quality GMK sets. This thickness provides a solid, premium feel and contributes to a deeper, more satisfying sound profile when typing.
