Know before you buy
These keycaps are crafted from high-quality ABS plastic using a double-shot injection molding process. This method ensures that the legends will never fade or wear off over time, as they are molded directly into the keycap structure.
The set is designed for Cherry MX switches and compatible MX-style clones. As long as your keyboard utilizes this standard stem design, the keycaps will fit.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than OEM profiles, providing a comfortable and familiar typing experience for most users.
The 'CYL' designation refers to the classic Cherry profile molds used by GMK. These are the original, iconic molds that provide the specific sound signature and tactile profile enthusiasts expect from GMK sets.
Yes, the set includes a selection of playful novelties designed by CaptainSterling. These feature unique graphics inspired by speakers and console toggles to complement the retro-futuristic aesthetic.
