Know before you buy
The WS Basic Yellow set uses a standard MX-style cross stem, making it compatible with most mechanical switches like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh. With 227 keys included, it supports a wide range of layouts, including standard ANSI and HHKB.
The PBT material provides a textured, matte finish that resists shine over time, while the 1.6mm thickness offers a solid, satisfying sound profile. Because the legends are double-shot molded, they are physically part of the keycap and will never fade or wear off.
Cherry profile is a sculpted keycap shape that is shorter than the standard OEM profile. Many enthusiasts prefer it for its ergonomic, tiered design that makes long typing sessions more comfortable.
Yes, the 227-key kit is designed for maximum versatility. It includes a wide variety of shift and spacebar sizes, including 6u, 6.25u, and 7u options, to accommodate almost any custom keyboard configuration.
No, these are opaque double-shot PBT keycaps. They are not designed to let light pass through the legends, so they are best suited for keyboards where you prefer a clean, solid aesthetic.
