GMK CYL Thunder God

Inspired by the Mythical Deity Raijin/Léigōng

This set features a new (doubleshot) sparkle/glitter material, particularly on the alert-style Row 1 (numrow) keys.
Base kit and Novelties kit are the only kits offered on this set.

More info ↓
More
Colors
This set uses 2 custom colors and the rest are GMK stock colors, such as U9 and N9.

No 40s Support?
Alert-style R1 numrow is unusable on 40% layout.

No Sublegends?
Having six color combinations along with sublegends would make the set look overly busy, which isn't the look I'm going for.


When
May 22 to June 15, 2026

Disclaimer
Renders may not picture actual colors of the keycaps but if you happen to have GMK stock color in your possession then the colors are the exact match of the said colors.

I'm with you on this one, initial render by GMK was awful but IRL render isn't so bad.
