Know before you buy
The Thorn Rose set is compatible with most standard ANSI layouts, including 61%, 64%, 68%, 75%, TKL, and full-size 100% boards. They use a standard Cherry MX-style cross stem, making them suitable for the vast majority of modern mechanical switches.
No, these keycaps are not backlight compatible. Because they are crafted from thick, opaque PBT plastic, light will not shine through the legends.
These keycaps feature a matte surface finish that provides a dry, textured grip. With a 1.7mm wall thickness and the classic Cherry profile, they offer a stable, deep sound signature and a comfortable typing experience.
The legends are created using a five-sided dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink directly into the PBT plastic, ensuring the designs will not fade or wear off even with heavy daily use.
The 127-key set is designed for standard ANSI layouts. While it covers most common sizes from 60% to full-size, it may not include specific key sizes for highly unconventional or ergonomic layouts.
