Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with nearly all keyboards using Cherry MX-style switches. They support both ANSI and ISO layouts, making them a versatile choice for most standard mechanical boards.
Side-engraved legends provide a minimalist, clean aesthetic for your keyboard. Because the characters are printed on the front-facing side rather than the top, they remain visible to you while typing but stay hidden from a top-down view for a sleek look.
These keycaps are made from PBT plastic, which is denser and more durable than standard ABS. They feature a textured finish that resists the oily shine that often develops on keys over time, providing a more premium, tactile typing experience.
No, the legends will not wear off. They are created using a precision double-shot molding process, meaning the characters are physically molded into the keycap structure rather than printed on the surface.
The OEM profile is the industry standard for mechanical keyboards, offering a familiar, sculpted shape that most users find comfortable. It provides a consistent feel that is easy to transition to if you are coming from a standard pre-built keyboard.
