Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with MX-style cross stems, which are standard on most mechanical keyboards like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh switches. Please verify your keyboard's layout, specifically the bottom row and shift key sizes, to ensure they match the set's configuration.
Dye Sublimation PBT is highly durable and resistant to the oily shine that develops on cheaper ABS plastic over time. The legends are infused directly into the plastic, meaning they won't fade or wear off even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the industry standard for its comfortable, sculpted shape and medium height. It is slightly lower than the OEM profile, offering a familiar, ergonomic feel that is preferred by many enthusiasts for long typing sessions.
This set includes a comprehensive range of alphas, modifiers, function keys, number pad keys, and novelty keys. However, please note that this is a keycap set only; it does not include the keyboard, switches, or stabilizers.
Yes, the matte finish provides a slightly textured, dry feel that offers better grip and a more premium tactile experience than glossy keycaps. It also helps hide fingerprints and prevents the keys from looking greasy after use.
