Know before you buy
These keycaps are manufactured from high-quality ABS plastic, which is the standard material used by GMK to achieve vibrant colors and sharp, crisp legends.
This set is compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. Please ensure your keyboard layout matches the base kit provided, as this is a keycap-only set and does not include a keyboard.
This set features the classic Cherry profile. It is a sculpted profile known for its comfortable, ergonomic feel that is widely preferred by enthusiasts.
No, the legends will not fade. They are created using a double-shot production method, where the plastic for the legends is molded directly into the keycap itself.
This set is a direct recreation of the popular KKB design, but it is manufactured using GMK’s specific molds and high-quality standards, including their signature icon mod positioning.
