Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for Cherry MX-style stems, which are the standard cross-shaped mounts found on most mechanical keyboards. With 171 keys included, the set offers broad compatibility for both ANSI and ISO layouts.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The double-shot PBT construction is solid, meaning your keyboard's backlighting will not illuminate the legends.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many users prefer it for its ergonomic, comfortable feel during long typing sessions.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot molding process, where the plastic for the legend is molded directly into the keycap. This ensures the characters will never wear off or fade, regardless of how much you type.
The 1.3mm thickness provides a sturdy, premium feel with a deeper sound profile compared to thinner ABS keycaps. PBT plastic is also highly resistant to the oily shine that often develops on keycaps after extended use.
