Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than OEM profiles. This design promotes a more natural typing angle, which can reduce finger fatigue during extended use.
No, these are made from PBT plastic, which is specifically chosen for its matte, textured finish. Unlike ABS plastic, PBT is highly resistant to the oils from your fingertips, so it maintains its original look and feel much longer.
Not at all. The legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This ensures the characters remain crisp and legible even after years of heavy typing.
These keycaps are designed for standard mechanical keyboards using MX-style switches. Before purchasing, ensure your keyboard layout matches the keycap set's configuration, especially regarding the bottom row and special key sizes.
PBT keycaps typically produce a deeper, more muted 'thocky' sound profile compared to the higher-pitched, clackier sound often associated with thinner ABS keycaps. Their density contributes to a more solid and premium acoustic experience.
