Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for MX-style switches, which include standard mechanical switches like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh. They feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount.
Tripleshot alphas incorporate an additional layer of plastic during the molding process, which allows for more intricate legend details and enhanced clarity compared to traditional doubleshot methods.
The JTK iKey set is primarily designed for standard ANSI layouts. If you have a non-standard or highly specialized keyboard layout, you should verify your key sizes against the included base and novelty kits.
These keycaps are crafted from 1.5mm thick ABS plastic, providing a sturdy, premium feel with a smooth surface finish. The thickness contributes to a consistent sound profile and increased durability.
The set uses the Cherry profile, which is a popular, sculpted profile known for its comfortable, ergonomic feel. It is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, making it a favorite for long typing sessions.
The standard base kits come in a reusable JTK hard plastic tray. This packaging is designed to keep the keycaps organized and protected from damage during transit.
