Product Description
FIERCE KEYCAPS WITH AN EDGE
Strap on some armor, unsheath your katana, and prepare to defend your desktop: GMK Red Samurai, the first keycap set from designer RedSuns, features a striking colorway evocative of a Japanese warrior’s armor. The fierce combination of red and dark gray with golden accents and legends will complement any keyboard, especially dark ones.
The inspiration behind the set came from the designer’s interest in Japanese general Ii Naomasa, who played a crucial role in creating the Samurai code during the feudal era. He was also known for charging into battle with vivid red armor to intimidate his enemies. Sculpted in Cherry profile, GMK Red Samurai is compatible with Cherry MX switches and clones. Here, we’re offering kits specifically for our CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, Preonic, and Planck keyboards—or other, similar boards, if they’re compatible.

Made in Germany using custom Cherry tooling, this GMK Red Samurai kit is compatible with Drop keyboards. The keycaps themselves are made from 1.5-millimeter-thick doubleshot ABS for longevity and strength.

I've always loved the GMK Red Samurai but usually to get what is included in this you need the full kit, the hiragana alphas then the novelty kit... all 3 of those is getting close to $250 for keycaps. If you just need enough for a 65% board that is a LOT of keys you may never use.
This kit from DROP and Redsuns gives you the ability to get just and pay for the ones you actually need and want. I sure wish they would offer similar sets for the Blue Samurai as well!
Quality is fantastic, it's GMK, they look, feel and sound great!
If you like this look and have a standard 65% layout, spend a little more and get this over a clone set, trust me it's more than worth a few extra dollars for the real thing.
I am using them with Cherry MX Black Silent with these keycaps. They definitely feel durable.
I didn't deduct for a couple items but want to mention them. I don't understand the need to have duplicate keys for the same characters if these are truly that durable and last forever. It seems smarter to provide some keys allowing use on different keyboard layouts. For example, I can't use these on a more custom layout keyboard (only works with base ANSI style). I see pictures by other reviewers showing use of them with an LED keyboard (description does not say they will work with one). Unlike their picture mine completely hides all LEDs except for a faint bit of light escaping a few of the keys with more open space around them.
First off, the red color is so vibrant, it's like the keycaps just returned from an intense training session at a fiery dojo. These keycaps are the Bruce Lee of the keyboard realm, and your fingers are in for an action-packed ride.
Compatible with Cherry MX switches and clones, it's like the keycaps are the 'One Keycap to Rule Them All.' Gandalf would probably use these keycaps while typing his wizardly emails to Frodo.
The 1800 layout and 113-key kit? It's the full armor set for your keyboard knight. No more worrying about missing keys or feeling like you're typing with half a sword – this keycap set has got you fully covered, like a knight ready to joust.
Now, let's talk about the texture. It's smoother than a silk robe on a samurai, making each keystroke a silky, ninja-like movement. I felt like I was typing my way through a Kung Fu movie, and every keypress was a high-flying kick.
In summary (but without a bow), if you want to transform your keyboard into a dojo of typing excellence, the DROP + Redsuns GMK Red Samurai Keycap Set is your martial arts sensei. Embrace the way of the keyboard warrior, and let the typing battles begin! 🥋⌨️🎎
The only issue: packaging. For the price I would expect waaaaay better packaging then this. I have bought keycaps 1/3 the price of these but still came with clear plastic trays with individually slotted keycap slots and a nice and tight cover so that the keycaps wouldn't fly around in the box. These, for almost 100 bucks, came in a cheap white plastic tray with very long slots that don't hold individual keys at all. When I opened it, the keys were all over the place.
Good look and quality material, just the packaging that maksmes the unboxing and experience Kinda disappointing.
