Know before you buy
This set is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which are the standard for most mechanical keyboards. With 173 keys included, it supports a wide range of layouts from compact 61-key boards to full-sized 108-key configurations.
Double-shot molding uses two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend. This ensures that the characters will never fade or wear off, even after years of heavy use.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many stock keyboards. Many enthusiasts prefer it for its ergonomic feel and slightly lower height, which can reduce wrist strain during long typing sessions.
Because these are made from high-quality PBT plastic, they are much more resistant to the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps. They maintain a matte, textured finish even after extended use.
You will need a standard keycap puller to safely remove your existing keys. While one is not included in this set, most mechanical keyboard users already have one, or they can be purchased inexpensively.
