Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed specifically for Cherry MX style switches. This includes most mechanical switches from brands like Gateron, Kailh, and Outemu that feature the standard cross-shaped stem.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly lower than the OEM profile, making it comfortable for long typing sessions.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink directly into the PBT plastic, ensuring the characters remain crisp and resistant to fading even with heavy daily use.
This product includes the keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard base and switches to complete the setup.
PBT plastic is highly valued for its durability and textured feel. Unlike cheaper ABS plastic, PBT is resistant to developing a shiny, oily appearance after extended use.
