Know before you buy
This set is designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches. Because it includes 178 keys, it covers most standard layouts, but you should verify your specific keyboard's bottom row and shift key sizes before purchasing.
The PBT plastic provides a durable, textured surface that resists shine over time, while the transparent PC material creates the unique semi-transparent aesthetic. This blend ensures both longevity and a distinct visual style for your board.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, making it a popular choice for long typing sessions.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This method infuses the ink into the plastic rather than printing it on top, ensuring the characters remain crisp and legible even with frequent use.
Yes, the transparent PC material allows your keyboard's backlighting to diffuse through the keycaps. This creates a soft, glowing effect rather than a sharp, direct light, which enhances the overall aesthetic of the set.
