Know before you buy
The PBTfans Spark R2 Mod Kit is compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. It supports both ANSI and ISO layouts, making it a versatile choice for most standard mechanical builds.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. Because they are made from opaque PBT plastic, they will block any light coming from your keyboard's LEDs.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the OEM profile, providing a natural typing angle that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot molding process. This means the characters are physically molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface, ensuring they will never fade or wear away.
PBT plastic is highly durable and resistant to the 'shine' that often develops on cheaper ABS keycaps after heavy use. It provides a slightly textured, matte finish that feels premium and maintains its appearance over years of typing.
