Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches and stems. With 150 keys included, the set offers broad compatibility for most standard and non-standard layouts.
Cherry Profile keycaps are shorter and have a sculpted, ergonomic shape that many enthusiasts prefer for long typing sessions. They provide a lower, more comfortable feel compared to taller profiles like OEM or SA.
No, these keycaps use a double-shot molding process. Because the legends are physically molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface, they will not fade or wear away over time.
This set is crafted from premium ABS plastic. ABS is known for producing crisp, vibrant colors and a smooth, refined texture that many users find satisfying to type on.
No, this product is a keycap set only. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard to install these keys.
