Know before you buy
The 1.7mm thickness is thicker than standard keycaps, which provides a deeper, more solid sound profile and a more substantial feel under your fingertips while typing.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the plastic rather than printing it on the surface, ensuring they remain crisp and resistant to fading even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape that is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. It is widely favored for its ergonomic curve, which helps reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
These keycaps are designed for standard mechanical keyboard layouts using MX-style switches. You should verify that your keyboard has a standard bottom row and stem compatibility before purchasing.
Yes, PBT plastic is significantly more durable and heat-resistant than ABS. It also features a slightly textured, matte finish that resists the 'shine' that often develops on keycaps after extended use.
