What customers say
The Blue Gem Keycap Set earns high praise primarily for its stunning aesthetic and premium feel. Users consistently describe the deep, crystalline blue colorway as vibrant, transforming their keyboards beyond expectations set by photos.

Know before you buy
This set is designed for ANSI layouts and supports a wide range of sizes, including 60%, TKL, Standard Full Size (104 key), and Non-Standard Full Size (130 key) configurations.
The Blue Gem set is compatible with all Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount.
The Alpherior OEM profile offers a sculpted, ergonomic shape that follows the natural curve of your fingers, while the XDA profile features uniform, flat-topped keys for a consistent feel across the entire board.
If you choose the translucent text option, the light from your keyboard's LEDs will shine through the legends. The standard blank or solid-legend versions will not allow light to pass through the keycap surface.
These keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic with a matte finish, which is highly resistant to the 'shine' that often develops on ABS plastic over time. The dye-sublimation process ensures the legends remain crisp and won't fade with regular use.
Yes, the 1.75u Right Shift and the four 1u novelty keys are available upon request to ensure your specific build requirements are met. Be sure to specify these needs when placing your order.
