Know before you buy
Cherry profile keycaps are shorter and sculpted with a slight curve, which many enthusiasts prefer for a more ergonomic and comfortable feel during long typing sessions.
This set is designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market. The included Base and Extras kits provide broad compatibility for various layouts, including non-standard sizes.
Double-shot molding uses two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend, meaning the characters are physically part of the key rather than printed on top. This ensures the legends will never fade or wear away, even with heavy daily use.
By utilizing both materials, this set balances the smooth, premium texture often associated with high-end ABS and the structural resilience of PBT. This hybrid approach helps the keycaps resist the oily shine that typically develops on standard plastic keys over time.
No, the set includes both the Base and Extras kits, which are specifically curated to provide enough keycaps to cover standard full-sized layouts as well as many compact or enthusiast-grade keyboard configurations.
