Know before you buy
The KAT profile is a sculpted, uniform-height profile known for its smooth, rounded surface and comfortable typing experience. It sits between the height of Cherry and SA profiles, offering a slightly larger surface area for your fingertips.
These keycaps are designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. They will fit the vast majority of custom mechanical keyboards on the market today.
No, the legends are created using a doubleshot injection process. This means the characters are molded into the keycap itself rather than printed on top, ensuring they will never wear off or fade.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT plastic is opaque, so your keyboard's backlighting will not be visible through the legends.
They are crafted from high-quality PBT plastic. This material is preferred by enthusiasts for its durability, resistance to shine, and slightly textured, premium feel compared to standard ABS plastic.
