Know before you buy
The 149-key count provides broad compatibility, covering standard full-size, TKL, 75%, 65%, and 60% layouts. It also includes specialized keys to support various non-standard bottom rows and split layouts.
No, the legends are dye-sublimated, meaning the ink is infused into the PBT plastic rather than printed on the surface. This process makes the characters highly resistant to fading even with heavy, long-term use.
The Cherry profile is a lower-height, sculpted shape that is widely considered the industry standard for ergonomic comfort. It provides a familiar, slightly curved typing surface that reduces finger fatigue during extended sessions.
This set includes four space bars in 3u, 6u, 6.25u, and 7u sizes. These options cover the vast majority of standard and enthusiast custom keyboard configurations.
PBT plastic is significantly more resistant to developing a shiny, oily texture than standard ABS plastic. These keycaps will maintain their matte, textured finish much longer under normal typing conditions.
