Know before you buy
Yes, as long as your keyboard follows a standard 65% layout and uses MX-style switches. Because the set includes 91 keys, it is designed to cover most compact 65% boards, though you should verify your specific layout's bottom row and shift key sizes.
These keycaps use the Cherry profile, which is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. The sculpted shape is slightly lower than OEM profiles, providing a familiar, ergonomic feel that is excellent for both long typing sessions and gaming.
The set uses dye-sublimation printing, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes the legends highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with heavy daily use.
No, these are made from PBT plastic, which has a naturally textured, matte finish. Unlike ABS plastic, PBT is significantly more resistant to the oily shine that can develop on keycaps after extended use.
This set features a mix of standard alphanumeric characters alongside unique circular, square, and triangular icons inspired by the QK brand. This gives the board a distinct, stylized look compared to a traditional keycap set.
