Synthwave-inspired GMK Cherry set in a deep-purple base with vibrant pink and teal legends. Designed by u/LASER and produced by GMK through Drop; the R1 colorway defined the retro-futurist aesthetic trend in custom keycaps and spawned a wave of synthwave-adjacent sets. Highly sought after on the aftermarket.
