Know before you buy
No, this is an Alphas kit only. You will need to purchase a compatible Hammerworks Mods kit separately to cover the modifier keys and complete your keyboard layout.
This kit features the QWERTZ layout, which is the standard German keyboard arrangement. Ensure your keyboard firmware is set to German input to match the legends on these keys.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that is more resistant to the 'shine' that develops on ABS keycaps over time. It offers a denser, more solid sound profile and a premium tactile feel.
These keycaps feature a standard MX-style stem, making them compatible with almost all modern mechanical switches, including Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and most other enthusiast-grade switches.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, providing a comfortable typing angle for long sessions.
