Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is a standard, sculpted keycap shape known for its ergonomic feel. It is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, making it a favorite among enthusiasts for its comfortable typing angle and consistent height across rows.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. This includes the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market today.
Double-shot molding involves injecting two layers of plastic into the mold, meaning the legends are part of the keycap structure rather than printed on top. This ensures the characters will never fade or wear off, even with heavy daily use.
ABS plastic is prized for its smooth, premium texture and ability to produce crisp, vibrant colors. While it may develop a slight shine over long periods of intense use, many enthusiasts prefer it for its distinct, resonant sound profile compared to PBT plastic.
This offering includes the base keycap set only. Please ensure your keyboard layout is compatible with the standard base kit coverage provided by GMK before purchasing.
