Know before you buy
This set is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use standard MX-style cross-stem switches. It includes 184 keys, providing broad coverage for both ANSI and ISO layouts.
No, these keycaps are not compatible with backlighting. The PBT material is opaque, so light will not shine through the legends.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice for enthusiasts because it is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile. Its sculpted, ergonomic shape is designed to reduce finger fatigue during extended typing sessions.
The legends are created using a five-sided dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the PBT plastic, making the characters highly resistant to fading or wearing off over time.
The 'All in' label indicates that this is a comprehensive kit containing 184 keys. It includes all necessary alphas, modifiers, function keys, number pad keys, and novelty keys to fit a wide variety of keyboard sizes and layouts.
