Know before you buy
The ASA profile is a sculpted, taller profile that sits between the classic OEM and SA profiles. It offers a slightly more spherical, ergonomic surface that cradles your fingertips, providing a distinct tactile feel that many find more comfortable for long typing sessions.
The PIIFOX Navigator set is designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches, which includes most standard mechanical keyboards. With 117 keys included, the set provides broad compatibility for most full-size, TKL, and compact layouts.
PBT plastic is significantly more durable than the ABS plastic found on many stock keyboards. It is highly resistant to the 'shine' that develops on keycaps after heavy use, ensuring the matte texture and aesthetic remain consistent for years.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This makes the characters virtually permanent and resistant to fading or rubbing off.
While not strictly required, we recommend using a standard wire keycap puller to safely remove your existing keys. The PIIFOX Navigator caps are designed for a simple press-fit installation, making the swap straightforward for any mechanical keyboard user.
