Know before you buy
No, this product is a keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install these keys.
With 154 keys included, this set is designed to be highly compatible with most standard mechanical keyboard layouts, including full-size, TKL, and various compact configurations.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more substantial and dry to the touch. It is significantly more resistant to the oily shine that often develops on ABS keycaps over time.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly lower than OEM profiles, making it comfortable for both long typing sessions and gaming.
Yes, the legends are created using dye-sublimation, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes them extremely resistant to fading or wearing off, even with heavy daily use.
