Know before you buy
WOB stands for 'White on Black.' It is a classic, high-contrast color scheme that features crisp white legends on deep black keycaps, offering a clean and timeless look for any keyboard.
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses Cherry MX style switches or clones. They are designed for an ANSI layout, so ensure your keyboard follows this standard configuration before purchasing.
No, these are made from high-quality PBT plastic with a matte finish. Unlike ABS plastic, PBT is highly resistant to the oils from your fingers, which prevents that unwanted 'shine' from developing even after heavy use.
Doubleshot molding involves injecting two layers of plastic into the mold, meaning the legends are a physical part of the keycap rather than printed on top. This ensures the text will never fade or wear away, regardless of how much you type.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many enthusiasts prefer it because the lower height and ergonomic curvature provide a more comfortable and consistent typing experience.
These keycaps are specifically designed to work well with south-facing switch orientations. This ensures there is no interference between the keycap walls and the switch housing, allowing for a smooth and consistent bottom-out feel.
