The favored Cherry profile delivers a comfortable and ergonomic experience ideal for extended use. Furthermore, the striking Gladiator colorway adds significant aesthetic appeal to custom builds.

Know before you buy
Cherry profile keycaps are shorter and sculpted with a slight curve, which many enthusiasts prefer for a more ergonomic and comfortable typing feel compared to taller profiles like OEM or SA.
This set is compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX style switches, which includes the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market today.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot molding process. This means the characters are molded into the plastic itself rather than printed on top, ensuring they will never wear off or fade.
This product is a keycap set only. It does not include the keyboard, switches, or stabilizers.
ABS plastic is known for producing vibrant, crisp colors and a smooth, premium texture. While it may develop a slight shine over long periods of heavy use, it is the industry standard for high-end sets like those from GMK.
