Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX-style cross-stem switches. With 166 keys included, the set covers most standard ANSI, ISO, and HHKB layouts.
The semi-transparent PC material allows your keyboard's backlighting to diffuse through the keycaps, creating a soft, glowing effect rather than a sharp, direct beam. This works best with keyboards that have per-key RGB lighting.
The Cherry Profile is a standard, sculpted height that is widely preferred for its ergonomic feel. It is slightly shorter than the OEM profile, providing a comfortable, familiar typing experience for both gaming and daily office tasks.
Yes, the legends are applied using dye-sublimation, a process that infuses the ink directly into the PBT material. This prevents the characters from fading or wearing off, even after heavy, long-term use.
No, this product is a keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install these keys.
The keycaps feature a matte finish, which provides a smooth, tactile feel that resists fingerprint buildup and prevents the keys from looking greasy over time.
