“Oi Stew, I want these, make it happen” – Avocadough, Feb 2021
Designed by stew.klack of SwitchKeys in response to demand, GMK Relegendables+ revamps the original customizable keycap with a variety of flexible colourways!
Putting the ‘plus’ in its name, GMK Relegendables+ features both 27-piece front-printed and 10-piece blank kits in modern CR Black and vintage U9 Beige, as well as additional blank kits in WS1 White, N9 Gray, and L9 Cream! These keycaps have had their colourways carefully selected to compliment a wide variety of GMK sets, but their breadth of neutral tones make them easy to slot into nearly any Cherry set of similar hue!

South America: Fancy CustomsGMK Chaos Theory has been a long time coming, and dotnick has truly delivered! The inspiration comes from his recent interest in the topic of chaos theory and everything involved, including: parallel dimensions, multiple universes, the duality of chaos and order, and the math/physics that underpins all of this.
The Order and Chaos base kits provide support for 60%, 65%, 75%, and TKL layouts for terminal ISO and ANSI layouts. There is also support for ergonomic/split keyboard layouts (split space bars and a second B). The R4 2.25U shift supports 660-like and type K layouts. F13 requiring boards and 40% keyboards (R3 1.50U Enter, R3 1.25U Tab, R2 1.75U Backspace) are also supported.
The main novelty that repeats in the accent colors is the symbol of chaos. The concepts of ordered and disordered systems are two commonly studied and connected topics within chaos theory that dotnick wanted to represent artistically in the novelties. In the paired columns of novelties, the symbol of chaos and the symbol of extropy (the extent of a living or organizational system’s capacity and drive for improvement and growth) are featured. Continuing down from R2-R4, two columns of novelties depict fundamental shapes (hexagon, square, triangle, and circle/spiral) in ordered and disordered forms. The ISO enter novelty is an abstract rendition of the nautilus shell/logarithmic spiral motif, and two R4 1.25U and 1.50U text novelties commemorate famous scientists who have contributed significantly to the field of chaos theory.
In collaboration with GMK Chaos Theory are two metal artisans: our first collaboration with HIBI, depicting the Lorenz attractor butterfly with a brass base, colourful PVD coating, and luminous glow enamel fill. The second is with our friends over at KeyLabs, whose keycap will have 20 possible combinations of enamel infill! The various infill colours will be a combination of two: pink, green, purple, yellow, and red. The keycap has an aluminum base anodized to match the modifiers’ dark purple.
Inspired by the iconic tan and beige colours found on keyboards in the early days of personal computing, the GMK Classic Beige – KA1953 Revamp breathes new life into this vintage style!
GMK Classic Beige features a new base kit layout, updated for the modern era with custom novelties and support for common layouts like F13 and Alice. This project also features an alternate alphas kit with Hangul sublegends, as well as a HIBI artisan keycap matched to the set’s cherry theme!

AU: SwitchKeysBack after nearly four years, the new-and-improved QMX Stabilizers from GMK make some great adjustments that set their design apart from other stabilizers on the market! Unlike other stabilizers, QMX stabilizer wires are inserted from the bottom to prevent wire popping and other unnecessary wire movement. Other highlights of the new stabilizers include:
- Noise reducing design
- Optimized guidance of both, slider and wire
- Minimized rattling on the housing
- Advanced overall performance
