Know before you buy
The Arabic base kit includes secondary Arabic sublegends on the keycaps, while the Latin base kit features standard Latin character legends. Both kits maintain the same architectural theme and colorway.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than OEM profiles. This design helps reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
Yes, the set uses a combination of doubleshot and dyesub techniques. The doubleshot construction ensures the primary legends will never fade, as they are molded directly into the plastic.
The MW Alhambra set offers multiple kitting options to accommodate a wide range of layouts, including various bottom rows and smaller form factors. We recommend checking your keyboard's specific layout against the kit's included key sizes before purchasing.
The creamy tone refers to the acoustic profile of the PBT plastic. PBT is denser than ABS, which typically produces a deeper, more muted 'thocky' sound rather than a sharp, high-pitched click.
