Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with all Cherry MX switches and MX-style clones that feature a standard cross-shaped stem mount.
No, the legends are produced using doubleshot and tripleshot molding processes, which means the characters are physically molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the OEM profile, providing a comfortable and familiar typing experience for most users.
The optional aluminum Enter keycap is designed in a standard 2.25u size, making it compatible with most standard mechanical keyboard layouts.
These keycaps feature a matte finish, which provides a slightly textured, non-slip feel that resists the shine often associated with ABS plastic over time.
Yes, the set includes a protective ABS keycap tray, which is ideal for keeping your spare keys organized and safe from damage when not installed on your board.
