Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses standard MX-style cross-stem switches. Because the set includes 146 keys and supports both ANSI and ISO layouts, it covers the vast majority of standard keyboard sizes.
The 3-side translucent construction allows light to shine through the sides of the keycaps rather than just the legends. This creates a vibrant, glowing effect that highlights the Sun Wukong theme, especially in darker environments.
No, these are made from premium PBT plastic, which is significantly more resistant to the oily shine that develops on standard ABS keycaps. The matte finish helps maintain a clean, textured feel even after extended use.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice for its ergonomic, sculpted shape that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile. This design is generally preferred by typists for its comfort during long sessions and its consistent, familiar feel.
The legends and thematic designs are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes the details highly resistant to fading or rubbing off, even with heavy daily use.
