Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. They are designed for standard ANSI layouts and include 146 keys to cover most full-size, TKL, and compact configurations.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its lower height and sculpted, ergonomic shape. It offers a familiar, comfortable typing experience that is generally preferred by enthusiasts for both gaming and long typing sessions.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes the text highly resistant to fading or wearing down, even with heavy daily use.
These are crafted from PBT plastic, which is known for its durability and resistance to the 'shine' that often develops on ABS keycaps over time. They provide a smooth, premium texture that maintains its appearance longer.
No, this package contains only the keycap set. You will need to have your own mechanical keyboard with compatible MX-style switches to use them.
