Know before you buy
The set is designed for keyboards with MX-style switches, which includes most popular brands like Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh. With 161 pieces, it supports both ANSI and ISO layouts, making it compatible with a wide range of standard and custom keyboard sizes.
The Cherry profile is widely considered a favorite for its comfortable, sculpted shape. It features a slightly lower height than the standard OEM profile, which helps reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This technique infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, ensuring the characters remain crisp and resistant to fading even with heavy daily use.
These keycaps feature a matte surface finish. This provides a subtle, dry texture that offers a secure grip and prevents the 'shine' that often develops on cheaper ABS plastic keycaps over time.
No extra tools are required. The set includes a keycap puller, which allows you to safely remove your existing keys and install the new ones without damaging your switches or the keycaps themselves.
