Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with MX-style stems, which are standard on most mechanical switches like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh. They support ANSI layouts and are available in various sizes to fit everything from compact 60% boards to full-size layouts.
The OEM profile features a sculpted, ergonomic shape with varying heights across rows, which is common on most pre-built keyboards. The XDA profile offers a uniform, flat height across all rows, providing a consistent feel and a distinct, minimalist aesthetic.
Dye-sublimation infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, making the legends highly resistant to fading or wearing off over time. Because the ink becomes part of the keycap material, you won't feel any texture difference where the characters are printed.
Yes, the 1.75u Right Shift and the four 1u novelty keys are available upon request. Be sure to specify your need for these items when placing your order to ensure they are included in your set.
The keycaps are crafted from high-quality PBT plastic, which is naturally more resistant to the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS plastic over time. The matte finish is designed to maintain its textured feel and professional look even with frequent typing.
