Know before you buy
These keycaps feature a standard MX-style cross mount, making them compatible with all Cherry MX switches and most third-party MX-style clones.
The set is designed for standard ANSI layouts. If your keyboard uses non-standard bottom row sizes or unique shift key widths, you should verify your layout against the set's included modifiers before purchasing.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than OEM profiles, making it a popular choice for long typing sessions.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, ensuring the characters remain crisp and resistant to wear even with heavy daily use.
PBT plastic is highly resistant to the oils from your fingertips. Unlike ABS plastic, these keycaps will maintain their matte, textured finish for a significantly longer period.
