Know before you buy
These keycaps feature a unique dual-layer construction with an opaque inner core and a semi-transparent outer shell. This design mimics the light-reflecting properties of Pyrope Garnet, creating dynamic shifts in red tones when light passes through them.
The PBTfans Pyga set is designed for Cherry MX switches and most compatible MX-style clones. As long as your keyboard uses this standard stem design, these caps will fit.
The primary legends are created using doubleshot injection molding, which means they are molded into the plastic itself and will not fade or wear off over time. The Greek sublegends are applied via UV printing, which is durable but may show wear faster than the doubleshot characters under heavy use.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape known for its comfortable, ergonomic curve that helps with typing accuracy. It is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile, making it a favorite for those who prefer a lower, more consistent typing experience.
Like all ABS keycaps, these will eventually develop a smooth, 'shined' texture after extended use due to natural finger oils. However, the high-quality ABS used by PBTfans offers a premium, dense feel that many enthusiasts prefer for its crisp sound profile.
