Hello Cherry enjoyers, I would like to present: Cherry Love
This is about a love for the hobby and the people who make it special. It also reflects a love for all things Cherry in the context of keyboards: the profile, legends, switches, and the iconic logo.
Cherry Love pairs a deep red and a bold red that creates a rich aesthetic. Ngl, they really hit. The legends are a nice white, not that fluorescent white from your corporate office lighting.
A big shift from my last set GMK Cosmos, this one’s a rich addition to your rotation, trust <3

UPDATE Oct. 31
New Offering: Alternate Alphas Kit - Dark Red
For monotone enjoyers who prefer a simpler look. Complements the Base Kit fully.
Base Kit + Alt Alphas Kit means you can kit a second board smaller than a TKL!
No dark red International Kit since we likely wouldn’t hit MOQ for both.
No dark red numpad because it raises the cost a lot and things are tough in this economy. Forgive me.
GMK Cherry Love will pair great with GMK Dolch or any set with CP white legends. Trust.
Extension Kit
Replaced R1 “Cherry Love” 1u novelty with "Love". Single line text is simpler and more versatile.
Replaced R3 “Caps Love” novelties with “Cherry Love,” for more layout-agnostic thematic legends to replace Caps Lock, Control, or 1.75u Enter for 12u 40% layouts.
Removed R1 icon cap, design needed to be changed for doubleshot and I didnt like it much.
Corrected R4 1.25u Shift to 1.5u Shift to work with boards like Evolve75.
All keys will be doubleshot.
Base Kit and Blanks Kit
Base corrected “Num” to "Num Lock" to align with "Scroll Lock".
Blanks trimmed to 2 columns since most common use will be macro columns and this will lower the cost.
Deskmat, Artisan
Both will be offered, stay tuned.
IC feedback and market conditions drove these changes with the goal to make as many people happy without breaking wallets. I spent countless hours fine-tuning the kits; if I’d gone purely off my own preference, you’d be looking at another WKL-only TKL kit like my recent DCS runs, lol. Thanks for understanding and for all your support. Love you all <3

APPROVED COLOR SAMPLES
Pictures of physical color samples. I am not a good photographer but I hope this helps. The colors are really nice if I do say so myself.<3
Color samples next to various reds used in popular GMK sets. F7 is GMK Perestroika, F1 is GMK Maroon, and the Ctrl cap is Dark Red from GMK WoB Essentials Dark RGB Kit, which is the same as Villanelle. All are different shades, even if the differences are subtle.
