Worth the premium over waiting on Drop

If you're buying a GMK set, you already know what to expect. This was as expected, with a slight price premium ($10 I think?) over waiting until October for Drop to ship.

Please don't ride the hype train

Not impressed at all packaging laughable for a $120-$150 purchase. If you can tell the difference from any other decent keycaps your lying to yourself.

Expensive for keycaps, but if you know, then you know...

GMK is one of the premier keycap makers, based in Germany, and has been making them since the early 2010's. They make some very nice, thick ABS keycaps, in very vivid colorways and with doubleshot manufacturing processes. This means the legends won't fade, and you will notice, the legend quality is ...

Genuine GMK WOB, It is what is says it is.

This is my second GMK set I have purchased on amazon, and my 5th GMK set overall. This is the real deal. Have seen reports that some people got warped space bars, I did not get any warped space bars thank god. My legends were crisp without defects. I have had a good experience buying GMK on amazon, ...

Quick, premium GMK feel and sound, no warp

Well priced considering. Staple WoB cap set that most should have in their collection. Spacebar. > PBT ones. Tried what I can to fix my spacebar stabs and PBT just can't get rid of the slight rattle on a specific side (even with hot water workaround). The GMK spacebar sounded like there weren't a...

You get exactly what you pay for with these keycaps.

I wasn’t unhappy with my stock keycaps, they just weren’t giving me the right sound or feel. These GMK are awesome. I wanted that thick quality textured, 90’s era keycaps in a color that doesn’t show dirt & this set of GMK keycaps are exactly that. After years of these thin little chicklet keyboards...

Best GMK Set for the Money and Time

What more can you ask for? A GMK set that is not on group buy, ships in a few days, and doesn't have an outrageous price. This is an outstanding deal considering that most GMK sets have been delayed by at least 6 months per set. I would recommend purchasing this in the meanwhile if you are waiting f...

best keycap set there is

nothing even comes to close to GMK. it's hard to convey in pictures but there is a huge difference in feel between the cheaper cherry-profile sets you'll find on amazon. i've typed 10+ hours a day for 2 years on this set and they aren't going anywhere. abs plastic means a nice broken-in shine/patina...

What's more to ask for?

We all could use a while on black set of keycaps. Not only versatile and brilliant to type with, but stellar quality. If you're wondering if you should pick these up, stop. Add To Cart and enjoy! Also glad I don't have to wait forever to get these.
