Know before you buy
This set uses the CYL profile, which is GMK's standard Cherry profile. It is a sculpted, medium-height profile known for its comfortable typing feel.
The keycaps are manufactured from high-quality 1.5mm doubleshot ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its crisp legend clarity and smooth, premium texture.
While the primary legends are doubleshot for long-term durability, the legends on the windowed keys are pad-printed to achieve the specific aesthetic of the original console.
The GMK ³ set is designed for standard MX-style mechanical switches. You should check your keyboard's layout, specifically the bottom row and shift key sizes, to ensure compatibility with the base kit.
No, the novelty keys, accent kits, and spacebars are sold as separate options. You will need to purchase the base kit to cover a standard keyboard layout.
