Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches. Please verify that your keyboard layout matches the set's included keys, as non-standard bottom rows or specialized layouts may not be fully compatible.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the PBT plastic, making the characters highly resistant to fading or wearing off even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the gold standard for ergonomics. It features a sculpted, stepped design that sits lower than the OEM profile, providing a comfortable typing angle that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
The 1.7mm thickness is thicker than standard keycaps, which helps produce a deeper, more resonant 'thock' sound. This added mass minimizes high-pitched plastic rattling and provides a more solid, premium typing experience.
These are made from PBT plastic. PBT is preferred by enthusiasts for its matte texture, resistance to developing a 'shine' over time, and overall durability compared to ABS plastic.
