Know before you buy
These keycaps are crafted from high-quality PBT plastic. This material is known for its textured feel and resistance to the shine that often develops on ABS keycaps over time.
No, the legends will not fade. They are created using a double-shot molding process, meaning the characters are physically molded into the keycap structure rather than printed on the surface.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape that is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. It is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its ergonomic feel and comfortable, familiar typing experience.
These keycaps are not shine-through, meaning the legends will not allow light to pass through them. If your keyboard has per-key RGB lighting, it will only provide an underglow effect around the base of the keys.
The Milkyway Zero Two R2 set uses a standard MX-style stem, which is compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market. However, you should verify that your keyboard layout matches the set's included keys, especially if you have a non-standard bottom row or a compact layout.
