Know before you buy
These keycaps are crafted from high-quality polycarbonate (PC). This material is known for its durability and provides a distinct, crisp sound profile compared to standard ABS or PBT plastic.
These keycaps feature the popular Cherry profile. This design is sculpted and slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile, making it a favorite for those who prefer a comfortable, ergonomic typing experience.
These keycaps are designed for standard mechanical keyboard layouts with MX-style switches. However, please note that this set does not include a 7u spacebar, so ensure your specific keyboard layout does not require one before purchasing.
The keycaps have a precise thickness of 1.7mm. This added thickness contributes to a more solid feel and a deeper, more resonant sound when typing.
Because these keycaps are made from transparent PC material, their appearance can shift slightly depending on your keyboard's lighting, switch color, and the ambient environment. Expect some visual variation based on how your specific setup reflects light.
