Know before you buy
The MTNU profile is a unique shape developed to blend the classic aesthetic of vintage keycaps with modern ergonomics. It typically features a slightly more sculpted, spherical top that provides a distinct tactile feel and a more comfortable typing experience than standard OEM or Cherry profiles.
These keycaps are designed specifically for mechanical keyboards using Cherry MX style stems. While they fit the vast majority of custom mechanical boards, you should verify that your keyboard has a standard layout, as non-standard bottom rows or specialized key sizes may not be fully supported.
Double-shot ABS is a premium manufacturing method where two layers of plastic are molded together, ensuring the legends will never fade or wear off. ABS is often preferred by enthusiasts for its crisp, resonant sound profile and smooth texture compared to PBT plastic.
No, the legends are produced using a double-shot process, meaning they are molded into the keycap itself rather than printed on the surface. This ensures the characters remain sharp and clear for the entire lifespan of the keycap.
These keycaps are made from opaque ABS plastic, so they are not shine-through. If your keyboard has per-key RGB lighting, the light will not pass through the legends, though it will still create an underglow effect around the base of the keys.
