Know before you buy
The KeyTok Back in the Game set uses a standard MX-style cross mount, making them compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX or equivalent switches. Because the set includes 152 keys and supports both ANSI and ISO layouts, it fits a wide range of keyboard sizes, from full-size boards to compact layouts.
No, these keycaps are not backlight compatible. The double-shot PBT construction is solid, meaning light will not pass through the legends.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the gold standard for typing comfort. It features a sculpted, lower height compared to OEM profiles, which helps reduce wrist strain and provides a more ergonomic feel during long typing sessions.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot injection molding process. This means the characters are molded into the plastic itself rather than printed on top, ensuring they will never fade or wear away.
These keycaps feature a matte finish and are made from high-quality PBT plastic, which is naturally resistant to the oils and fingerprints that typically cause a slick, shiny surface. They maintain a textured, dry feel even after heavy daily use.
