• INSPIRATION •
Black and gold is a simple but classic combination evoking luxury and elegance. Thus this timeless colourway serves as the basis of this keycap set which utilises GMK’s new metallic ABS material. Golden accents are included for high-end flair; whilst for the high rollers, novelty keycaps themed around Art Deco and Casino Royale are included for extra style points.

Disclaimer: Renders shown are for illustrative purposes and may not perfectly display the actual colours. Please refer to the actual sample (https://i.imgur.com/kff9nc7.png)photos below to see the real colours and texture of existing GMK metallic ABS keycaps. Do note that the process of creating metallic ABS involves special powders that are subject to the various injection flow patterns in each cap, creating a unique (and unpredictable) result. There will also be ultimately inherent limits in emulating the lustrous and shiny appearance of metal in plastic.
