GMK Honor Keycaps

$179.99 CAD

I find this particular set (Honor Dark) to be quite versatile, I have it on a muted green board and it looks great at the moment. Can definitely see it on an e-white board as well. Quality is typical GMK, on point. Purchased the RAMA Kabuto as well, nice but nothing too special as far as artisans are concerned.

Feels great, looks... not as great

This is my first GMK set, and I can definitely feel the quality on these. They're thick, they have a unique sound profile that's a bit deeper than other doubleshot caps (although I've only tried doubleshot PBT), and they only shine a little bit around WASD after a month of use.

The colour is NOT what I expected. That's not to say they look bad, necessarily, but they definitely don't look exactly like the keycaps I purchased. Renders for these caps made them look more grey and slightly muted, but the keycaps that shipped turned out more blue and are more colourful than I expected. (This is the same on GMK Bushido, which it is based on.) I don't hate the colour - but I definitely would be enjoying this set more had it been the grey colour I expected. Apparently the grey comes out more in specific lighting. I haven't been able to see that.

As of right now I have them on a black Idobao ID80, but I'm definitely going to be taking them off soon and throwing them on a different board. This colour doesn't look great on black, in my opinion. Give it a bit more colour. (Or don't. You do you. I'm not your mother.)

Not a bad purchase at all if you're looking for new keycaps - but look at some product photos first, not just the renders.
