Introducing an Eye-Catching Revolution in Keycap Design
The highly anticipated GMK TeraDrive keycap set, a collaborative project between Kingk22 and Yuzu, is now making its way to vendors worldwide. This unique keycap collection draws inspiration from the classic Sega HTR-2106, bringing retro gaming aesthetics to modern mechanical keyboards.
Project Overview and Timeline
