Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is the classic, sculpted standard GMK is known for, offering a familiar feel for most mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. The MTNU profile is a newer, distinct shape that provides a different typing experience and aesthetic, giving you more customization options for your board's ergonomics.
These keycaps are designed for keyboards using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. They will fit the vast majority of custom mechanical keyboards, but you should verify your keyboard's layout and bottom row compatibility before purchasing.
GMK uses high-quality, thick 1.5mm ABS plastic, which is the industry standard for premium keycaps. While ABS can develop a slight shine over long periods of heavy use, it is prized for its crisp sound profile and vibrant color reproduction.
This set features the first-ever GMK doubleshot sculpted skull keycap. Unlike standard printed novelties, this keycap is physically molded into a 3D shape using the doubleshot process, ensuring the design remains sharp and durable for the life of the key.
The base set includes the essential keycaps to cover standard keyboard layouts. Depending on your specific board size—such as a full-size, TKL, or 65%—you may want to check the included keycap list to ensure all necessary modifiers and row profiles are present.
