Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with all Cherry MX style mechanical switches, which includes most standard mechanical keyboard switches on the market.
The 1.5mm thickness is the industry standard for high-quality ABS keycaps. This weight provides a solid, satisfying sound profile and a sturdy feel under your fingertips.
The 147-key base set is designed to cover a wide range of layouts, including standard full-size, TKL, 75%, and many custom compact configurations. It is best to verify your keyboard's bottom row and shift key sizes against the set's included keys before purchasing.
Doubleshot molding means the legends are physically part of the keycap rather than printed on top, ensuring they will never fade or wear off. ABS plastic is favored for its crisp, vibrant color reproduction and smooth, premium texture.
The Cherry profile is a lower-profile design with a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits closer to the keyboard deck. It is widely considered the gold standard for typing comfort and is preferred by many enthusiasts for its consistent feel.
