GMK, as the representative of double-shot keycaps, with its craftsmanship and retro industrial design, has been the representative of high-end mechanical keyboard keycaps for many years.
Shurikey keycaps are made by the double-shot molding technics, and adopt the same Cherry profile and similar legend layout designs as GMK, because the retro industrial style is one of the characteristics of Shurikey. Instead of copying GMK, we added our own understanding to the design and manufacturing:
Original design: Each keycap bottom is engraved with "SRK" authenticity certification
Delicate technics: ABS material, Double shot molding technics
Thickened design: the 1.5mm thickness is 0.2mm thicker compared to 1.3mm of GMK.
Injection hole: The injection hole is adjusted from the side to the bottom, so you can't see the injection hole from the outside.
North-facing LED adaptivity: The keycap has a trapezoidal slot inside, allowing the keyboard to be mounted on the keypad without bumping into the switch.
Legends design: The legends are redesigned, the alignments are adjusted to harmonise the look and feel of the legends (see picture).
Appearance on the side: Shurikey team worked hard to improve the appearance on the side, which was a difficulty of double-shot keycaps (see picture).
High adaptibility: 167keys, compatible with most mechanical keyboards on the market.
Cost effective: the 167Key keycap set costs less than 400 rmb as a set of double-shot keycaps we consider to be high quality.
Keycap aesthetics is very subjective. For example, there will be many people who like our design of the legends, and some others prefer GMK's classic design, but this is not a conflict. Shurikey team is full of professional keyboard players. As players, we respect the classics and enjoy seeing more diverse and more interesting products. Fortunately, with Shurikey, we have the opportunity to hear other players, express ourselves, show our talents and finally make the products. Although our products might not satisfy everyone, they are still valuable treasure.
