Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX-style cross-stem switches, which are the standard for most mechanical keyboards. They support standard ANSI layouts including 61, 87, and 104-key configurations.
No, these keycaps are made from opaque PBT plastic and do not allow light to shine through the legends. They are best suited for keyboards without per-key RGB lighting or for users who prefer a solid, non-backlit aesthetic.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice because it is slightly shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile. This ergonomic shape is generally considered more comfortable for long typing sessions and provides a consistent feel across all rows.
The legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which embeds the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes them highly resistant to fading and wear, even with heavy daily use.
These keycaps feature a matte, anti-shine finish. This provides a subtle, textured grip that resists finger oils and prevents the 'greasy' look that often develops on smoother ABS plastic caps over time.
