Know before you buy
These keycaps use a standard MX-style cross mount, making them compatible with most Cherry MX-style mechanical switches. They are designed for ANSI layouts and are available in 100-key or 86-key configurations to fit various board sizes.
While the keycaps feature a translucent design, they are not specifically engineered for shine-through legends. The UV-printed legends are opaque, so the light will glow through the translucent plastic body rather than illuminating the characters themselves.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted keycap shape known for its comfortable, ergonomic feel. It is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile, which many users find reduces finger fatigue during extended typing sessions.
The UV-printing process provides crisp, clear legends that are resistant to standard wear. However, because the legends are printed on the surface rather than being double-shot injected, they may show signs of fading over many years of heavy, daily use.
Yes, the 86-key configuration is specifically curated to support the layout requirements of most 65% mechanical keyboards. We recommend checking your specific board's bottom row layout to ensure compatibility with the provided key sizes.
