Know before you buy
The set is highly versatile and supports most standard layouts, including 60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, 96%, and full-size 104/108-key boards. With options ranging from 129 to 152 keys, it includes the necessary modifiers to accommodate various bottom row configurations.
Yes, these keycaps are designed for any mechanical keyboard using MX-style stems. This includes popular brands like Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The dye-sublimated legends are opaque, meaning your keyboard's RGB or LED lighting will not illuminate the characters themselves.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape that is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. It is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its comfortable, ergonomic feel during long typing sessions.
Because these keycaps are crafted using a high-quality dye-sublimation process, the ink is infused directly into the PBT plastic. This makes the legends extremely durable and resistant to fading, even with heavy daily use.
These keycaps feature a matte finish, which provides a smooth, dry texture that resists oil buildup and fingerprints. This helps maintain a clean look and a consistent feel while typing.
