What customers say
The GMK Oblivion Keycap Set is celebrated for its iconic, minimalist aesthetic and uncompromising quality. Users consistently praise the luxurious, smooth texture and satisfying sound profile delivered by the thick, doubleshot ABS plastic. The sophisticated colorway, featuring dark grays and crisp white legends, is viewed as a timeless design that elevates any keyboard build, offering a clean, professional look. Enthusiasts value the exceptional clarity and durability of the legends, which resist fading. While the set delivers an unparalleled typing experience and aesthetic appeal, the primary friction points are cost and accessibility. As a premium offering, the price is high, and the typical group buy model results in long wait times. Despite these factors, the consensus is that Oblivion justifies its premium status for those prioritizing top tier quality and classic design.
Know before you buy
The set is compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX-style switches. With 129 keys included, it provides broad coverage for most standard layouts, including full-size, TKL, and many compact configurations.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more substantial than standard ABS. It is also significantly more resistant to developing the 'shine' that often appears on keycaps after heavy, long-term use.
The Cherry Profile is a sculpted keycap shape known for its ergonomic, stepped design that follows the natural curve of your fingers. It is widely considered the industry standard for comfort and typing efficiency.
Yes, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes the characters highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with frequent typing.
While the quality is high, slight variations in legend placement or thickness can occur between different production batches. This is a common characteristic of the dye-sublimation process and does not affect the functionality of the keys.
