Know before you buy
These keycaps feature a standard MX-style cross mount, making them compatible with most Cherry MX-style mechanical switches. The set includes 136 keys and supports both ANSI and ISO layouts, ensuring broad compatibility with various keyboard sizes.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The double-shot ABS construction is opaque, so your keyboard's backlighting will not illuminate the legends.
These keycaps are crafted from 1.5mm thick ABS plastic, which provides a solid, premium feel. While ABS can develop a slight shine with heavy, long-term use, the double-shot legends are molded into the plastic, meaning they will not fade or wear off.
The Cherry profile is a shorter, sculpted keycap shape that is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It is designed to be ergonomic, making it easier to type for long periods compared to taller profiles like OEM or SA.
The set features specific accent keys designed with a semi-translucent finish to complement the cherry-inspired gradient. These are intended to be used as highlights for keys like the Escape, Enter, or spacebar to add a unique aesthetic touch to your board.
