Know before you buy
The main keycaps are crafted from PBT plastic, which is known for its durability and resistance to shine over time. The semi-transparent variants are made from ABS plastic, which allows for better light transmission and a distinct aesthetic finish.
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. They are compatible with most standard ANSI layout mechanical keyboards.
Triple-shot molding allows for three distinct colors of plastic to be injected into a single keycap. In this set, it is used to integrate the intricate runic sublegends directly into the keycap structure, ensuring they will never fade or wear off.
The Cherry Profile is a sculpted, lower-height profile that is widely favored by enthusiasts for its ergonomic feel. It provides a consistent, comfortable typing experience that is generally lower and more angled than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards.
Yes, the legends are produced using double-shot and triple-shot injection molding. Because the characters are molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface, they are highly resistant to wear and will remain crisp even after heavy use.
