Know before you buy
The CYL profile is GMK’s specific iteration of the classic Cherry profile. It maintains the same sculpted, ergonomic shape and height that enthusiasts love, ensuring a familiar and comfortable typing experience.
With 150 keys included, this set offers extensive coverage for both ANSI and ISO layouts. It is designed to accommodate most standard mechanical keyboard configurations, but you should verify your specific bottom row and shift key sizes before purchasing.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The double-shot ABS construction is opaque, meaning your keyboard's backlighting will not illuminate the legends.
Double-shot molding injects two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend, ensuring the characters will never fade or wear off over time. The 1.5mm thickness provides a solid, premium sound profile and a sturdy feel under your fingertips.
Yes, these keycaps are designed for mechanical keyboards using MX-style stems, which feature a cross-shaped mount. They are compatible with Cherry MX switches and most third-party clones.
