Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with all Cherry MX style mechanical switches, which includes most standard mechanical keyboard brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu.
The Pink Lightning set is specifically designed for standard ANSI layouts. If your keyboard uses non-standard bottom row sizes or a split spacebar, you may encounter compatibility issues.
Cherry profile keycaps are slightly shorter and have a more sculpted, ergonomic shape than standard OEM caps. Many users find this profile more comfortable for long typing sessions due to the lower height.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the PBT plastic, ensuring the characters remain crisp and legible even with heavy daily use.
These PBT keycaps feature a subtle, matte texture that provides a premium, non-slip feel. This material is highly resistant to the 'shine' that often develops on cheaper ABS plastic caps over time.
