Know before you buy
XDA is a uniform profile, meaning every keycap has the same height and shape regardless of the row. This creates a flat, consistent typing surface that many users find more comfortable for long typing sessions than the sculpted, tiered profiles found on most stock keyboards.
The set is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use standard MX-style switches, such as Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh. Because it includes 138 keys, it covers a wide range of layouts, including full-size, TKL, and various compact configurations.
Dye-sublimation infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This makes the legends highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even after years of heavy daily use.
No, these are made from high-quality PBT plastic, which has a naturally matte, textured finish. Unlike cheaper ABS plastic, PBT is resistant to the oily shine that often develops on keycaps after prolonged use.
These keycaps have a thickness of approximately 1.4mm. This provides a solid, premium feel and a deeper, more satisfying sound profile when typing compared to thinner stock keycaps.
