Know before you buy
This set is designed for standard ANSI layouts and is compatible with most mechanical keyboards using Cherry MX style switches. With 158 keys included, it offers broad coverage for various keyboard sizes, including full-size, TKL, and compact layouts.
The ASA profile is a proprietary Akko shape that is taller than the standard OEM profile but features a sculpted, spherical top similar to SA keycaps. It provides a comfortable, ergonomic typing experience that many enthusiasts prefer for its tactile feel and distinct aesthetic.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, meaning your keyboard's backlighting will not illuminate the legends, though it may still create a subtle underglow effect around the edges of the keys.
These keycaps use a pad printing method for the legends. While the PBT plastic itself is highly resistant to wear and shine, pad-printed legends are more susceptible to fading over long periods of heavy use compared to double-shot alternatives.
You will need a standard wire or plastic keycap puller to safely remove your existing keycaps. While not included in the set, these tools are inexpensive and essential for preventing damage to your switches or keycap stems during installation.
