Drop + Nephlock GMK Kaiju Custom Keycap Set

Sound the alarm and head to the basement! The most frightening keycap set to ever hit your city has emerged from the ocean depths—monstrous, unstoppable, and dripping wet. Taking inspiration from classic Japanese monster movies, GMK Kaiju is the latest from designer Nephlock, who you may know from the breakout GMK Metropolis. In Japanese, “kaiju” translates to “strange beast,” which is fitting given the colors of the set. There’s green modifiers for a reptilian look, hot orange accents for a kaiju’s fiery breath, and beige alphas that pay homage to defense terminals used to coordinate retaliation. Finally, tying it all together are the hiragana Japanese sublegends.

Made with ABS plastic with a semi-matte finish, the GMK Kaiju keycaps are doubleshot injected, which means the legends won’t fade over time. They’re also sculpted in German-designed Cherry profile, known for its comfortable feel for programmers, writers, and more. As far as compatibility, the keycaps will fit on Cherry MX stems and related clones.

The Base Kit for Kaiju features hiragana sub-legends by default—affirming its thematic ties to vintage Japanese monster films. This kit offers coverage for any standard-layout keyboard, as well as a variety of popular custom layouts, such as 1800, CP, WKL, TKL, 75%, 65%, 60%, and MX-HHKB style.

A strong nod to the iconography of its theme, the Warnings kit features several F-row and bottom row novelty keys, as well as a Kaiju kanji enter and accent arrow keys to complete the look of your defense terminal.
