Know before you buy
This set is designed specifically for standard ANSI layouts. It will fit most full-size, tenkeyless, and compact keyboards that follow the standard ANSI configuration.
Yes, as long as your keyboard uses MX-style (cross-shaped) stems and follows a standard ANSI layout, these keycaps will be compatible regardless of the brand.
The OEM profile is the industry standard for most pre-built mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, stepped design that is generally considered very comfortable for long typing sessions.
Double-shot molding means the legends are physically part of the keycap rather than printed on top, which prevents them from ever fading or wearing off. ABS plastic provides a smooth, premium feel and allows for vibrant color reproduction.
These keycaps are not shine-through, meaning the legends will not allow light to pass through them. If your keyboard has RGB lighting, it will create an underglow effect around the keys rather than illuminating the letters themselves.
