Know before you buy
With 171 keys included, this set is designed to cover almost any standard layout, ranging from compact 60% boards to full-sized 100% keyboards. It includes the necessary modifiers and alternate sizes to accommodate most popular mechanical keyboard configurations.
The Cherry profile is slightly shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many users find this lower height more ergonomic and comfortable for long typing sessions.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes them highly resistant to fading, even with heavy daily use.
Because they are crafted from high-quality PBT plastic with a matte finish, these keycaps are significantly more resistant to the shine and oil buildup that typically develops on cheaper ABS plastic caps.
These keycaps are made of solid PBT and are not shine-through, meaning the legends will not allow light from your keyboard's LEDs to pass through them. They are best suited for keyboards where you prefer a clean, retro aesthetic over RGB illumination.
