Know before you buy
No. Because they are constructed from high-quality PBT plastic, these keycaps are highly resistant to the shine that typically develops on ABS plastic after prolonged use.
The 1.7mm thickness is considered quite substantial for keycaps. This extra mass helps produce a deeper, more solid sound profile compared to thinner, standard-issue keycaps.
Not at all. The legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which embeds the ink into the plastic itself rather than printing it on the surface, ensuring they remain crisp and vibrant even with heavy use.
The Cherry profile is a standard, sculpted keycap shape known for its ergonomic feel and comfortable typing angle. It is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its familiar height and consistent layout across most mechanical keyboards.
These keycaps are designed to fit most standard mechanical keyboards with MX-style stems. However, you should verify that your keyboard has a standard bottom row layout to ensure a perfect fit for every key.
