Know before you buy
No, this is an Alphas-only kit. You will need to purchase a separate Hammerworks Mods kit to complete your keyboard layout.
These keycaps are made from opaque PBT plastic and are not designed to allow light to shine through the legends. They are best suited for boards without per-key RGB lighting.
These keycaps feature the Cherry profile, which is widely favored by enthusiasts for its comfortable, sculpted shape and medium height.
The hieroglyphics serve as a unique aesthetic sublegend alongside standard English characters. While they add a distinct visual flair, the primary English legends remain clear for daily typing.
They are crafted from high-quality, durable PBT plastic. This material is known for its resistance to shine and its textured, tactile feel compared to standard ABS plastic.
