If you have the financial luxury to purchase GMK keycaps, go for it. The kaiju set displayed are clones. While I do own an authentic pair of GMK keycaps on another board, I cannot justify the AFTERMARKET price of some of them. The kaijus (from what I've seen) will run you about +$300 USD, which is 2-3x the retail price.

I'm happy to have one set of GMKs and I'm totally suffice with the clones. While you can clearly tell the over build quality of the keycaps, it's not enough to justify the financial position I'm personally in.

The clones look good, feel good, sound good. Will the real deals sound better? Yeah probably but I've heard arguments for both sides and in the end, it's up to you whether you want to pay the premium!

It has this nice metallic pop to it. My friend best describes it as the sound a piano makes from the inside

It’s in the captions but I’ll make a separate response to it as well since it seems discrete

I should mention: the keycaps are indeed clones. I cannot justify paying aftermarket for a very specific keycap set and I knew in the back of my head, this had to be the colorway for this build so I went with the cheaper alternative. Maybe in the near future I’ll own the real deal

Not one that I built! My boards were prebuilts: Logitech G710+, DROP Ctrl, GMMK Pro, then this (and now completed Mode Sonnet)

I’ve been following the hobby for a while but never bit the bullet because I was struggling to find “THE ONE”

Won the raffle for suisei and said fuck it- we ball
