Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style cross-stem switches. Please ensure your keyboard uses this standard mount before purchasing.
PBT plastic is highly durable and resistant to the shine that often develops on standard ABS keycaps over time. It provides a sturdier feel and a more textured, matte finish.
The Cherry Profile is a shorter, sculpted keycap design that is widely preferred for its ergonomic comfort. It is generally lower in height than the standard OEM profile, which can reduce wrist strain during long typing sessions.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes the characters highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with frequent use.
This product includes only the keycap set. The mechanical keyboard base, switches, and stabilizers are not included and must be purchased separately.
