Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed specifically for keyboards that use Cherry MX style switches. Before purchasing, ensure your keyboard's switch stems are cross-shaped to guarantee a proper fit.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted keycap shape known for its ergonomic feel. It is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile, which many users find more comfortable for long typing sessions.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This method infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, making the characters highly resistant to fading and wear.
No, this product is a keycap set only. It does not include a keyboard, switches, or stabilizers.
PBT plastic is denser and more durable than ABS. It provides a textured, matte finish that resists the 'shine' that often develops on keys after heavy use.
