Know before you buy
This 104-key set is designed for standard mechanical keyboard layouts using Cherry MX style switches or clones. Before purchasing, ensure your keyboard has a standard bottom row, as non-standard layouts may not be fully compatible.
The translucent ABS construction is specifically engineered to diffuse light, allowing your keyboard's RGB LEDs to shine through both the legends and the body of the keycap. This creates a much brighter, more immersive glow compared to standard opaque keycaps.
These keycaps are made from high-quality ABS plastic, which is a standard material for mechanical keyboards known for its smooth finish and vibrant color reproduction. While ABS can develop a slight shine over long-term use, it remains a durable and reliable choice for everyday typing.
Yes, the Shadow Black set features shine-through legends. This ensures that your keyboard's backlighting illuminates the characters on each key, making them easy to read even in low-light environments.
The Full Shadow Black option provides a uniform, stealthy aesthetic across the entire set. The colored outer ring options add a subtle accent border around the base of the keycaps, which helps frame your keyboard and adds a personalized touch to your desk setup.
