Know before you buy
These keycaps are constructed from durable PBT plastic. This material is known for its resistance to the oily shine that often develops on ABS keycaps after extended use.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The legends are not translucent, so they will not allow light from your keyboard's LEDs to pass through the characters.
The Cherry Profile is a shorter, sculpted keycap shape that is widely considered the industry standard for ergonomic comfort. It features a tiered height design that makes typing feel natural and reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
No, this product is a keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install these keys.
The matte surface finish provides a slightly textured, tactile feel that offers a more premium grip than smooth, glossy keycaps. It also helps hide fingerprints and maintains a clean, consistent look over time.
