Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with Cherry MX switches and MX-style clones. They are designed for standard ANSI layouts, so ensure your keyboard uses this layout before purchasing.
Doubleshot molding uses two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend simultaneously. This ensures the legends are physically part of the keycap, meaning they will never fade or wear off over time.
The Cherry profile is a popular, lower-profile shape that is slightly sculpted for ergonomic comfort. It is generally considered more comfortable for long typing sessions than taller profiles like OEM or SA.
These are crafted from PBT plastic, which is known for its durability and resistance to the 'shine' that often develops on ABS keycaps after heavy use. They feature a matte finish for a clean, professional look.
This product includes only the keycap set, which covers alphas, modifiers, function keys, number pad keys, and novelties. You will still need to provide your own keyboard case, PCB, switches, and stabilizers.
