Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for standard mechanical keyboards using MX-style (cross) stems, including Gateron, Kailh, and Cherry MX switches. They are compatible with most 61, 64, 87, and 104-key layouts.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, so your keyboard's backlight will not illuminate the legends.
The Cherry profile is slightly shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many users find this lower height more ergonomic and comfortable for long typing or gaming sessions.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes them highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with heavy daily use.
These keycaps feature a matte surface finish. This provides a subtle, pleasant texture that helps prevent the oily shine that often develops on cheaper ABS plastic keycaps over time.
