Know before you buy
These keycaps feature an MX-style stem, making them compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use standard cross-shaped switches, including most Keychron models and other MX-style alternatives.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, so your keyboard's backlighting will not be visible through the legends.
The OEM profile is the standard height and sculpted shape found on most pre-built mechanical keyboards. It features a familiar, ergonomic curve across the rows that many users find comfortable for both typing and gaming.
This 133-key set covers most standard ANSI layouts, but please note that it does not include Scroll Lock or Pause Break keycaps. It does, however, include extra modifiers to help fit a variety of keyboard sizes.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium and tactile than standard ABS. It is also significantly more durable and resistant to the 'shine' that often develops on keycaps after heavy use.
