Know before you buy
The GMK Apollo set is compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX style switches. Because it includes 172 keys, it offers broad coverage for most standard and non-standard keyboard layouts.
Double Shot PBT is a premium manufacturing process where two layers of plastic are molded together. This ensures the legends will never fade or wear off, and the PBT material provides a durable, textured finish that resists shine over time.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the industry standard for its comfortable, ergonomic feel. It features a slightly lower height and a sculpted shape that helps your fingers naturally find the center of each key while typing.
No, this product is a keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install these keys.
Yes, the comprehensive 172-key count is designed to accommodate a wide variety of layouts, including those with non-standard bottom rows, split spacebars, and different shift key sizes.
