Know before you buy
This set is designed for standard ANSI layouts. It is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX style switches.
The main legends are doubleshot for long-term durability, while the unique R'Lyehian sublegends are applied using high-quality UV printing.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape known for its comfortable, ergonomic feel during extended typing sessions. It is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, providing a sleek, low-profile aesthetic.
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. They will fit most modern mechanical switches, including Gateron, Kailh, and Durock, but are not compatible with low-profile or non-MX style switches.
The standard set is made from durable doubleshot ABS plastic, which is the industry standard for GMK sets. The optional KeyRelic artisan keycaps are premium, handcrafted metal pieces made from sterling silver or Argentin Alloy, designed to serve as a decorative focal point on your keyboard.
The Base Kit is designed to cover most standard keyboard layouts. Depending on your specific board size and layout requirements, you may need to purchase additional kits like the Spacebar or Novelties kit to ensure full compatibility.
