Know before you buy
This keycap is designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches and the standard ANSI layout. As long as your board follows these specifications, it will be compatible.
PBT plastic is highly durable and resistant to the shine that often develops on standard ABS keycaps over time. It provides a textured, matte finish that feels more premium and maintains its appearance through heavy daily use.
The OEM profile is the industry standard for most mechanical keyboards, featuring a sculpted, stepped design that is comfortable for long typing sessions. If your current keyboard uses standard stock keycaps, this will likely match the height and angle you are already accustomed to.
Laser-etched legends offer high clarity and precision, making them easy to read. While they are a reliable choice for standard use, they are a surface-level printing method, so they may eventually show signs of wear compared to double-shot molded keycaps after several years of intense use.
The package includes the specialized double spacebar component designed for the Vortex Cypher layout. Please note that you will need a standard keycap puller to safely remove your existing spacebar before installing this one.
