Know before you buy
The ASA-Low profile is a hybrid design that combines the sculpted, ergonomic shape of traditional ASA keycaps with a reduced height. This results in a comfortable, familiar typing feel that is slightly lower than standard profiles, making it easier on the wrists during long sessions.
This 158-key set is highly versatile and supports most standard layouts, including 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, and full-size boards. It also includes specific keys for unique layouts like HHKB and Alice, such as a 7u spacebar and an extra B-key.
The legends are created using a doubleshot molding process, meaning the characters are molded directly into the plastic rather than printed on top. This ensures the Hiragana sub-legends will never fade or wear off, even with heavy daily use.
Yes, these keycaps may experience physical interference with TTC Demon or Princess switches due to the specific housing design of those switches. They are otherwise fully compatible with standard Cherry MX-style mechanical switches.
These keycaps feature a matte finish, which provides a slightly textured, non-slip grip. PBT plastic is chosen for its durability and resistance to the 'shine' that often develops on cheaper ABS keycaps over time.
