Know before you buy
The DDA profile is a proprietary shape characterized by a rounded top and a larger surface area compared to standard profiles. This design provides a more consistent, comfortable contact point for your fingertips, which many users find reduces fatigue during extended typing sessions.
These keycaps are designed with a universal Cherry MX stem, making them compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboard switches on the market. With 170 keys included, the set provides extensive coverage for both standard ANSI and ISO layouts.
PBT is significantly more durable than the ABS plastic found on many stock keyboards. It is highly resistant to the 'shine' that develops over time from finger oils, ensuring the keycaps maintain their original matte texture and appearance for years.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This technique infuses the ink into the PBT plastic itself, meaning the characters are permanent and will not wear off or fade with heavy use.
Yes, the 1.5mm thickness provides a solid, premium feel and a deeper, more resonant sound profile compared to thinner, stock keycaps. This added mass helps stabilize the keys and contributes to a more satisfying typing experience.
