Know before you buy
CYL is GMK’s internal designation for their classic Cherry profile. It offers the same sculpted, ergonomic shape that enthusiasts expect from the Cherry standard, ensuring a familiar and comfortable typing experience.
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses MX-style stems, which includes the vast majority of modern custom and pre-built boards. If your switches have a cross-shaped stem, they will fit.
The 1.5mm thickness is the standard for high-quality GMK sets. This substantial wall thickness provides a deeper, more resonant sound profile and a solid, premium feel compared to thinner keycaps.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot molding process. Because the characters are molded from a separate piece of plastic rather than printed on the surface, they will never fade or wear away, even with heavy use.
No, this product is a keycap set only. The keyboard, switches, and stabilizers shown in the images are for illustrative purposes and are not included with your purchase.
