GSK shrinks the handheld-console theme into a two-keycap DMG set
The DMG Handheld Set pairs a 1U R1 keycap with a stepped Caps Lock for $120 plus shipping. GSK lists up to 10 sets, hand-cast resin construction and a 12-hour raffle window.
Announcement date: October 28, 2026
Golden Star Keycap, better known as GSK, has announced the DMG Handheld Set: two artisan keycaps that turn the familiar silhouette of a handheld game console into a small keyboard accent. The raffle form lists $120 plus shipping for the pair, with up to 10 sets available.
The set contains one 1U R1 cap and one stepped Caps Lock cap. GSK specifies Cherry/DCS profile, MX compatibility and 100% hand-cast resin construction. The form describes a 12-hour raffle, but does not supply an absolute opening time, closing time or timezone.
From character sculpts to miniature hardware
GSK’s recent DMG Unicorn and GSK × Namong DMG Napicorn releases applied the gray-and-yellow-green handheld palette to sculpted characters. The Handheld Set changes the focus: the console shape itself becomes the keycap, complete with a directional pad, contrasting buttons and a small pixel-style screen graphic.
The two different key sizes let the design appear at both the top-left and left edge of a compatible keyboard. In GSK’s photographs, the upright 1U cap sits at Escape while the wider cap occupies stepped Caps Lock. The screen appearance is part of the artwork; the sale material does not describe a working display or built-in lighting.
Who is GSK?
GSK stands for Golden Star Keycap, a Vietnam-based artisan keycap house known for sculpted designs and hand-cast resin. Its recurring characters give collectors a familiar shape that can return in new colorways, while releases such as this one explore a different form within the same theme.
For readers following Keebpedia’s recent DMG coverage, this is a separate release from Unicorn and Napicorn. The current form offers a pair of differently shaped caps as one set, rather than a choice between those earlier character sculpts.
Price, raffle window and shipping
MX compatibility alone does not guarantee that the stepped Caps Lock will fit every layout. Check the required stepped position, stem alignment and neighboring-key clearance on your board.
GSK notes that handmade caps can have small imperfections or minor color differences. The form states that replacements are provided for caps that malfunction on arrival.
