Know before you buy
Cherry profile keycaps are shorter and sculpted with a slight ergonomic curve, which many enthusiasts find more comfortable for long typing sessions compared to taller profiles like OEM or SA.
No, these are made from PBT plastic, which is significantly more resistant to the oily shine that develops on ABS keycaps after heavy use. They maintain a textured, matte finish for much longer.
These keycaps are not shine-through, meaning the legends are not translucent and will not allow your keyboard's backlight to shine through the letters. They are best suited for boards where you prefer a clean, solid aesthetic.
The 146-key count is quite comprehensive and includes various sizes for bottom rows and shift keys, making it compatible with most standard layouts, including TKL, 65%, and 75% boards.
The legends are created using dye-sublimation, a process that infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes them extremely durable and resistant to fading or wearing off, even with frequent use.
