Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with Cherry MX style switches and their clones. They support standard ANSI layouts, so ensure your keyboard uses this layout before purchasing.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, so your keyboard's backlighting will not illuminate the legends.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile. This creates a comfortable, natural typing angle that many enthusiasts prefer for long sessions.
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 keycaps feature a matte finish, which provides a clean, professional look and a subtle, pleasant texture under the fingertips. This finish also helps prevent the oily shine that often develops on ABS plastic over time.
