Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard that uses standard Cherry MX style switches. They are designed to fit 60%, 80%, and 100% layouts, though you should ensure your specific board uses a standard stem mount.
Because they are crafted from solid Cupronickel, these keycaps are significantly heavier than plastic alternatives. This weight creates a deeper, more resonant sound profile and a more substantial, premium feel with every keystroke.
No, these keycaps are made of solid metal and are not translucent. They will block any RGB lighting underneath the keys, so they are best suited for boards where you prefer a clean, non-backlit aesthetic.
The 7U spacebar is specifically designed for the Tsangan layout, which features a non-standard bottom row. If your keyboard uses a standard layout, you likely will not need this addon, but it is essential if you are building a custom board with a Tsangan configuration.
The battle-worn finish is designed to look historical and textured from the start. While metal can develop a natural patina over years of heavy use, the finish is durable and intended to maintain its rugged, antique appearance.
