Know before you buy
The inclusion of glass microspheres in the PBT blend creates a distinct 'Hi-Fi' sound profile. This results in a sharper, more resonant acoustic signature compared to standard PBT keycaps.
The surface is designed to be smooth yet grippy, providing a tactile, matte finish that feels soft to the touch. It is specifically engineered to reduce finger fatigue and prevent the slick, oily feeling that can develop on standard plastic caps.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX switches or MX-style cross-stem clones. They are designed to fit most standard mechanical keyboard layouts.
No, the legends are applied using a high-quality dye-sublimation process. This method infuses the ink directly into the plastic, making the characters highly resistant to fading or wearing away from regular use.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted shape that is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. It is widely favored for its ergonomic feel and familiar, comfortable typing angle.
