Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches, which includes most standard mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, making them highly resistant to fading or wearing off from regular use.
The Cherry profile is a shorter, sculpted shape that is generally considered more ergonomic and comfortable for typing than the taller OEM profile found on many stock keyboards.
PBT plastic is known for its matte, textured finish and is significantly more resistant to the oily shine that often develops on cheaper ABS keycaps after prolonged use.
While the set is designed for standard MX-style stems, compatibility with non-standard layouts depends on your specific keyboard's bottom row and key sizes. We recommend checking your keyboard's layout against the included key sizes before purchasing.
