Know before you buy
The MT3 profile is a sculpted, high-profile design inspired by vintage IBM beamspring terminals. It features a deep, spherical dish on each keycap that cradles your fingertips, which many users find helps with accuracy and comfort during long typing sessions.
These keycaps are compatible with Cherry MX switches and most clones, such as Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu. As long as your keyboard uses a standard mechanical switch stem, this set should fit.
No, the legends are created using a doubleshot manufacturing process. This means the characters are molded from a separate piece of plastic rather than printed on, so they will not wear off or fade with heavy use.
No, these keycaps are opaque and do not support shine-through backlighting. They are designed for a solid, retro aesthetic where the light will not pass through the legends.
ABS plastic is known for its vibrant color reproduction and smooth, premium feel. While PBT is often cited for its resistance to shine, the high-quality ABS used in this set provides a distinct, classic sound profile and a refined finish that many enthusiasts prefer.
