Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for standard ANSI layouts and are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX or MX-style switches, such as Gateron or Kailh. They feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount found on most modern mechanical boards.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The dye-sublimated legends are opaque, so they will not illuminate if your keyboard has per-key RGB backlighting.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many users find this lower height more comfortable for long typing sessions and gaming.
No. Because these keycaps use a dye-sublimation process, the ink is infused directly into the PBT plastic rather than sitting on top. This ensures the legends and designs remain crisp and resistant to fading even with heavy daily use.
The 147-piece set includes additional novelty keys and extra layout support, such as alternative sizes for the bottom row and shift keys. If you have a non-standard layout or prefer more customization options, the 147-piece set is the better choice.
