Know before you buy
These keycaps are crafted from ABS plastic, which is known for its smooth texture and vibrant color reproduction.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot manufacturing process, which molds two layers of plastic together to ensure the characters never wear off.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted keycap shape that is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. It is widely favored for its ergonomic feel and comfortable typing experience.
While the standard keys use a double-shot process, the ISO novelty keys feature a combination of double-shot molding and UV printing to achieve their unique celestial designs.
The 126-key base kit is designed to cover most standard mechanical keyboard layouts, including full-size, TKL, and various compact configurations. We recommend checking your keyboard's bottom row and shift key sizes against the set's included keys to ensure compatibility.
