Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX switches and MX-style clones, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount.
The legends are created using advanced doubleshot or tripleshot manufacturing, meaning the characters are molded directly into the plastic for long-lasting durability that won't fade over time.
The Cherry profile is a popular, lower-height sculpted profile that provides a comfortable, ergonomic typing experience. It is generally preferred by enthusiasts for its familiar feel and consistent row heights.
The PBTfans Rim set is designed for standard ANSI layouts. If you have a non-standard bottom row or a unique layout, you should verify your keyboard's specific key sizes against the included kit options.
The keycaps feature a matte surface finish, which provides a smooth, premium feel that resists the shine often associated with lower-quality ABS plastic.
The set comes in a high-quality ABS keycap tray with a custom-designed cover, ensuring your keys remain organized and protected from damage during storage.
