Know before you buy

These keycaps feature a standard MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with Cherry MX switches and most MX-style clones. They support a wide range of layouts, including ANSI, ISO, and HHKB.
No, the legends are applied using a high-quality dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the plastic, ensuring the pixelated designs remain crisp and resistant to wear even with heavy use.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape known for its ergonomic comfort. It is slightly lower than the OEM profile, which many users find more comfortable for long typing sessions.
These keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, so they will block any RGB or backlighting from your keyboard switches.
The keycaps feature a specialized skin-like surface texture. It provides a matte, premium feel that is smooth to the touch while offering enough grip to prevent slipping during fast typing.
