Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount. They will work with most mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Cherry.
With 163 keys included, this set provides extensive coverage for both ANSI and ISO layouts. It includes various modifier sizes and novelty keys to accommodate most custom keyboard builds, though you should verify your specific bottom row and shift key sizes.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly lower than the OEM profile, offering a comfortable and familiar typing experience for most users.
No, the legends will not fade. They are created using a double-shot manufacturing process, where two layers of plastic are molded together to form the characters, ensuring the legends remain crisp and durable for the life of the keycap.
The keycaps feature a smooth, slightly textured finish. This provides a premium tactile feel that is comfortable for long typing sessions while helping to prevent the keys from feeling overly slick.
