Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for mechanical keyboards using Cherry MX style switches. Before purchasing, please ensure your keyboard's layout matches the set's configuration, as key sizes can vary between different keyboard models.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than standard OEM profiles. This design provides a familiar, comfortable typing experience that many enthusiasts prefer for long sessions.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes the characters highly resistant to fading and wear compared to traditional pad-printed keycaps.
No, this product includes only the keycap set. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard compatible with Cherry MX style switches to use these caps.
PBT plastic is denser and more durable than the ABS plastic found on many stock keyboards. It is specifically chosen for its resistance to developing a 'shine' over time, ensuring the keycaps maintain their matte texture and aesthetic quality.
