Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with a standard ANSI layout and MX-style stems. As long as your keyboard uses standard Cherry MX switches or compatible clones, these will fit perfectly.
Because the legends are printed on the side rather than the top, the light from your switches will primarily illuminate the gaps between the keys rather than shining directly through the characters. This creates a subtle, ambient glow that is perfect if you prefer a cleaner look on the top surface.
Yes, they are made from PBT plastic, which is significantly more resistant to shine and wear than the ABS plastic found on many stock keyboards. The double-shot construction also ensures the legends will never fade or wear off over time.
The Cherry profile is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile found on most pre-built keyboards. Many enthusiasts prefer it because it offers a more ergonomic, lower-profile feel that can reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
This is a full 108-key set, which provides complete coverage for standard full-sized mechanical keyboards. If you have a non-standard layout, such as a compact 65% or 75% board, you may have some leftover keys, but the set will cover all the primary typing areas.
