Know before you buy
XDA is a uniform, low-profile shape where every key has the same height and flat top surface. This provides a consistent, stable typing feel across the entire board, which many users find more comfortable for long typing sessions than the sculpted, stepped profiles found on standard keyboards.
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses MX-style stems, which includes most Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh switches. With 133 pieces included, the set is designed to cover a wide range of layouts, including standard full-size, TKL, and many compact 65% or 75% configurations.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This method infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, ensuring the characters remain crisp and legible even after years of heavy use.
PBT is a more durable, denser material that resists the oily shine that often develops on ABS keycaps over time. It also provides a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium and stable under your fingertips.
No, these keycaps are made of thick, opaque PBT plastic, so they will not allow light to shine through the legends. They are designed for a clean, aesthetic look rather than for illuminating the characters.
