Know before you buy
The inclusion of glass microspheres in the PBT plastic creates a denser material composition. This results in a distinct 'Hi-Fi' sound profile that is typically sharper and more resonant than standard PBT keycaps.
The skin-like texture is more refined and tactile than a standard matte finish. It provides a subtle, soft-touch grip that feels premium under the fingertips without being overly smooth or slippery.
These keycaps feature a standard MX-style cross mount. They are compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most third-party MX-style clones found on modern mechanical keyboards.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This method infuses the ink directly into the plastic, making the legends highly resistant to wear and fading even with heavy daily use.
At 1.3mm, these keycaps strike a balance between structural durability and acoustic performance. This thickness is standard for the Cherry profile, offering a solid, stable feel that avoids the hollow sound often associated with thinner keycaps.
