Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX style switches. Because the set includes 227 keys and supports both ANSI and ISO layouts, it is designed to fit the vast majority of standard and non-standard mechanical keyboard configurations.
Doubleshot PBT is a premium manufacturing process where two layers of plastic are molded together. This ensures the legends will never fade or wear off over time, and the PBT material provides a textured, matte finish that resists the oily shine common with cheaper ABS plastic.
The Cherry profile is a shorter, sculpted shape that is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It offers a familiar, ergonomic feel that is generally preferred by enthusiasts for long typing sessions.
Yes, these keycaps feature a 1.6mm thickness, which is considered quite substantial. This added density typically results in a deeper, more resonant sound profile compared to thinner, stock keycaps.
No. Because these are manufactured using a double-shot process, the legends are physically molded into the keycap rather than printed on the surface. They are essentially permanent and will remain crisp even after years of heavy use.
