Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches and support standard ANSI layouts. With 134 keys included, they offer broad compatibility for most full-size, TKL, and compact mechanical keyboards.
The 1.75mm thickness is thicker than standard stock keycaps, which helps produce a deeper, more satisfying 'thock' sound. This added mass also provides a more stable and premium feel under your fingertips.
No, the legends are created using a 5-sided dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface, ensuring the characters remain sharp and permanent even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is widely favored by enthusiasts for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that slopes to meet your fingers. It is generally lower in height than the OEM profile, which can help reduce wrist strain during long typing sessions.
PBT plastic is more durable and resistant to the 'shine' that develops on ABS keycaps over time. These keycaps feature a textured finish that provides a secure, non-slip grip and a matte appearance that stays clean longer.
