Know before you buy
The Umi set is compatible with most keyboards that use standard MX-style switches and an ANSI layout. With 184 keys included, it covers a wide range of sizes, including full-size, TKL, and various compact layouts.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice for enthusiasts because of its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than the standard OEM profile. It is widely considered one of the most comfortable profiles for long typing sessions.
No, these keycaps are not designed for backlighting. Because they are made from thick PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends, light will not pass through the characters.
The thick PBT construction helps produce a deeper, more resonant 'thock' sound compared to thinner ABS plastic keycaps. This material choice is ideal if you prefer a solid, muted acoustic profile.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes the characters highly resistant to wear and fading even with heavy daily use.
