Know before you buy
The PBTfans Spark R2 set is compatible with most keyboards using MX-style switches, which feature a cross-shaped stem. Please note that this set is designed for the standard ANSI layout.
While the majority of the set is crafted from durable, doubleshot PBT plastic, the semi-transparent caps included in the blue mod kit are made from ABS plastic to achieve their specific aesthetic and light-transmitting properties.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for its sculpted, ergonomic shape. It is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, offering a comfortable, familiar typing experience that many enthusiasts prefer for long sessions.
No, the legends are created using a doubleshot injection process. This means the characters are molded into the keycap itself rather than printed on the surface, ensuring they will remain crisp and fade-resistant even with heavy daily use.
The optional deskmat measures 900 mm x 400 mm x 4 mm, providing a generous surface area for both your keyboard and mouse. It features a smooth cloth top for precise tracking and stitched edges to prevent fraying over time.
