Know before you buy
The kit includes the keyboard case, PCB, PC plate, and pre-installed stabilizers. You will need to purchase and install your own mechanical switches and keycaps to complete the build.
The GMK67-S features hot-swappable sockets that support most standard 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches. You do not need to solder anything; simply push the switches into the sockets.
The gasket mount uses flexible materials to cushion the plate, resulting in a softer, more cushioned typing feel compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. It also helps create a more consistent sound profile across the entire board.
Yes, the integrated LED screen is designed for personalization. You can use the provided software or VIA support to adjust settings and display information according to your preferences.
South-facing RGB LEDs are positioned toward the bottom of the switch, which prevents interference with Cherry-profile keycaps. This ensures you can use a wider variety of keycap sets without worrying about the keys hitting the switch housing.
The GMK67-S supports VIA, an open-source software that allows you to remap keys, create macros, and manage layers in real-time. Simply connect the keyboard via USB-C and open the VIA interface to start customizing your layout.
