Know before you buy
The GMK Storm set is designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches with a cross-stem mount. It supports standard ANSI layouts, so please ensure your keyboard layout matches this configuration before purchasing.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, meaning the legends will not be illuminated by your keyboard's backlight.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than OEM profiles, providing a comfortable and familiar typing experience for most users.
Dye-sublimation infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This ensures the legends will not fade, rub off, or develop a texture over time, even with heavy daily use.
Yes, the set is comprehensive and includes Alphas, Modifiers, Function keys, and a full Number Pad. It is designed to cover standard full-sized ANSI layouts.
