Know before you buy
While the product is marketed as a 'blank' set, it features a minimalist design that utilizes HyperX's signature shine-through font. This allows your keyboard's RGB lighting to pass through the keys for a clean, modern aesthetic.
Yes, these keycaps are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX style cross-stem switches. As long as your keyboard uses a standard layout, they should fit without issue.
PBT is significantly more durable and resistant to the 'shine' that develops on ABS plastic over time. These keycaps have a matte, textured finish that provides a more premium, stable feel during long typing or gaming sessions.
The OEM profile is the industry standard for most mechanical keyboards, featuring a sculpted, stepped design that makes it comfortable for both typing and gaming. If you are replacing the stock keys on a standard mechanical board, the height and angle will feel familiar.
No extra tools are required. The set includes a dedicated keycap removal tool that makes pulling off your old keys and snapping on the new ones quick and safe for your switches.
