Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with MX-style cross-stem switches. They follow an ANSI layout, so please ensure your keyboard's bottom row and shift key sizes match the standard ANSI configuration.
No, the primary legends are created using a double-shot molding process, which means the characters are physically molded into the plastic rather than printed on top. This ensures they will never fade or wear off with use.
These keycaps are not shine-through, meaning the legends will not allow light to pass through them. While you can still use them on a backlit keyboard, the light will only shine from underneath the keys rather than through the characters.
The main alphanumeric keys use double-shot construction for maximum durability. The unique novelty keys feature UV printing to achieve the intricate, detailed artwork of the Zen Pond design, which requires a different printing method than standard text.
The Cherry profile is widely favored for its ergonomic, sculpted shape that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile. It is generally considered more comfortable for long typing sessions and provides a consistent, premium feel.
No, this set includes only the keycaps. You will still need to provide your own mechanical keyboard, switches, and stabilizers to complete your build.
