Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is a standard, sculpted keycap shape known for its ergonomic, stepped design that makes typing comfortable for long sessions. It is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts due to its familiar feel and aesthetic appeal.
This 92-key set is designed for standard mechanical keyboard layouts. While it covers most common configurations, we recommend checking your keyboard's layout—specifically the bottom row and shift key sizes—to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
PBT plastic is significantly more durable and resistant to the 'shine' that develops on ABS keycaps over time. It offers a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium and maintains its appearance even with heavy daily use.
No, the legends are created 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 sharp and legible throughout the entire lifespan of the keycap.
These keycaps are made from opaque PBT plastic, meaning they are not 'shine-through' and will not allow RGB lighting to pass through the legends. They are best suited for keyboards where you prefer a clean, solid aesthetic over backlit characters.
