Know before you buy
These keycaps are manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic, which is the standard material used by GMK for its vibrant color reproduction and smooth finish.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot production process. This means the characters are molded into the keycap itself rather than printed on top, ensuring they will never fade.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted keycap shape known for its comfortable, ergonomic feel. It is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its consistent height and familiar layout.
The set is compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most MX-style clones. As long as your keyboard uses this standard cross-shaped stem, these keycaps will fit.
No, this product includes only the keycap set. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install them.
