Know before you buy
The DDA profile is a uniform, spherical profile that features a larger, rounded surface area compared to traditional sculpted profiles like Cherry or OEM. This design provides a more consistent typing experience across the board and a slightly deeper, more tactile feel under the fingertips.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The PBT material is opaque, meaning the legends are printed on the surface and will not allow backlighting to pass through the characters.
Yes, the 170-key base kit is designed to be highly compatible. It includes a wide variety of alternate sizes and novelty keys to support most layouts, including full-size, TKL, 75%, 65%, and various split or ergonomic configurations.
Dye-sublimation infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This makes the legends extremely resistant to fading or wearing off, even with heavy, long-term use.
Yes, these keycaps are crafted with a 1.5mm wall thickness. This substantial thickness helps produce a deeper, more resonant sound profile compared to thinner, standard-issue keycaps.
