I have been into mechanical keyboards for a very long time and was always hesitant to try GMK due to the cost and bing ABS. I love the Sparta theme and colors so I had to give it a shot. The colors, crispness of the legends and everything else is top notch. I love the red/gold and the artisans are very cool and look great. I will be buying more of these sets in the future.
UPDATE: Drop had me send in the set with the missing keycap and I just received the replacement set. Took an extra week to have everything in place but at the end I'm happy with results. Thanks Drop for taking care of it.
Was really excited to receive the GMK Sparta set today... unfortunately it was missing the Row2 page down key while include 2 Row2 End keys, making it not usable on my TKL board. I get it is not Drop's fault and it was most likely a mistake when GMK was sorting the set. Contacted Drop and hopefully they will be able to send me the missing keycap.
HampterSorry about the unboxing experience, I completely understand the frustration of being let down like this. The good news is that CS will get it sorted out for you no problem. Feel free to ping me if you run into any issues with that process.
These fit perfectly with my Keychron Q3 modded with a brass backplate. It's like it was meant to be!
The keys are pretty much perfect. My only concern is that, as is the case with all ABS caps, they will start to get shiny fairly soon. On the upside, since most of the keys you're going to be pressing regularly are white, my hope is that it will be less noticeable than on darker sets. Anyway, time will tell.
