Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX-style switches, which are the industry standard for most mechanical keyboards. They support conventional ANSI layouts ranging from compact 60% boards to full-size 100% layouts with a numpad.
Double-shot PBT is highly durable and resistant to the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS plastic over time. Because the legends are molded into the plastic rather than printed on top, they will never fade or wear away.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted design that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built boards. It is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its comfortable, ergonomic feel and consistent typing experience.
This 135-key set is specifically designed for conventional ANSI layouts. It may not include the specific non-standard key sizes required for split spacebars, Alice-style layouts, or keyboards with unusual bottom-row configurations.
These keycaps feature a slightly textured surface. This provides a tactile, premium feel that helps prevent your fingers from slipping during fast typing sessions.
