Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with Cherry MX style switches and clones. They feature the standard cross-shaped stem mount, making them compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market.
No, the legends will not fade. They are created using a doubleshot manufacturing process, where the legend is molded as a separate piece of plastic rather than printed on the surface.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The ABS plastic is opaque, so light from your keyboard's LEDs will not pass through the legends.
The Cherry profile is a standard, sculpted shape that is slightly lower than the OEM profile. It is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its comfortable, ergonomic feel during long typing sessions.
This set is designed for the standard ANSI layout, which is the most common configuration for keyboards in North America. Please ensure your keyboard follows this layout before purchasing.
The metallic ABS material provides a unique, premium aesthetic that mimics the look of metal while maintaining the consistent, crisp typing feel of high-quality ABS plastic. It offers a distinct visual finish that stands out from standard matte keycaps.
