Know before you buy
The set includes 130 keys, making it compatible with most standard layouts ranging from compact 61-key boards to full-size 108-key models. It supports both ANSI and ISO configurations, provided your keyboard uses standard MX-style switches.
The Cherry Profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile, which many typists find more comfortable for long sessions. Its lower height helps reduce wrist strain while providing a consistent, ergonomic feel across the board.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This ensures the characters remain crisp and legible even after heavy, long-term use.
These keycaps feature a smooth, skin-like finish that feels premium to the touch. Unlike cheaper ABS plastic, the PBT material is resistant to developing that unwanted 'shine' that often appears on keys after extended use.
Yes, they are compatible with any switch featuring an MX-style stem, including Gateron, Kailh, and other third-party mechanical switches. As long as your keyboard uses the standard cross-shaped stem, these caps will fit.
