Know before you buy
No, this kit contains only the alpha keys. You will need to purchase a separate Hammerworks modifier kit to complete your keyboard layout.
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice known for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than the OEM profile. It is widely favored for its comfortable, familiar typing experience.
These keycaps are crafted from durable PBT plastic. PBT is known for its resistance to shine and its textured, matte finish that holds up well over long-term use.
Hammerworks uses high-quality CRP manufacturing standards, which typically involve dye-sublimated legends. This process infuses the ink into the plastic, making the legends highly resistant to fading or wearing off.
