Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches. This includes most mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu that feature the standard cross-shaped stem.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This infuses the ink into the PBT plastic, making the legends highly resistant to fading or wearing off through regular use.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly lower than the OEM profile, making it a favorite for long typing sessions.
No, this product is a keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install these keys.
Before purchasing, check your keyboard's layout—specifically the bottom row and the size of your shift keys—to ensure they match the standard layout provided in this set. If you have a non-standard or 'compact' layout, verify that the keycap sizes match your board's requirements.
