Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX-style cross-stem switches and support standard ANSI layouts ranging from 61 to 108 keys. Please note that they are not compatible with non-standard bottom rows or keyboards with unique spacebar sizes.
PBT plastic is known for its durability and resistance to the oily shine that develops on ABS keycaps over time. The matte finish provides a slightly textured, premium feel that remains consistent even after heavy use.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The dye-sublimated legends are opaque, meaning your keyboard's backlight will not illuminate the letters, though it may still create an underglow effect around the edges of the keys.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile. This design helps reduce finger fatigue during long gaming sessions or extended typing tasks.
Because these keys use dye-sublimation, the ink is infused directly into the plastic rather than printed on the surface. This ensures the legends will not fade, rub off, or wear down, even with frequent contact.
