Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX switches and their mechanical clones, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem.
This set is crafted from high-quality ABS plastic, which is known for producing vibrant, consistent colors like the iconic Klein Blue.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted keycap shape that is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. It is widely preferred for its ergonomic, comfortable feel during long typing sessions.
The set is specifically designed for the standard ANSI layout. If you have a non-standard layout, such as one with an ISO enter key or unusual bottom row sizing, you may find compatibility issues.
The legends are created using a doubleshot production method, meaning the characters are molded into the plastic rather than printed on top. This ensures they will never fade or wear off over time.
The set comes in a dedicated PBTfans ABS keycap tray that includes a custom-designed cover, ensuring your keycaps remain organized and protected when not in use.
