Know before you buy
No, the PBT plastic construction is specifically chosen for its resistance to the oils and friction that cause standard ABS keycaps to develop a shine.
The Cherry profile is slightly shorter and features a more sculpted, ergonomic shape that many enthusiasts prefer for long typing sessions. It provides a lower, more consistent feel across the board compared to the taller OEM profile.
Not at all. Because they are created using a dye-sublimation process, the ink is infused directly into the plastic rather than sitting on top, ensuring the legends remain crisp and legible for the life of the keycap.
These keycaps are designed for standard mechanical switches with a cross-shaped stem, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market. We recommend checking your keyboard's layout to ensure the bottom row and shift keys match the standard sizing provided in this set.
No, these are non-backlit keycaps. The dye-sublimation process is designed for solid, opaque plastic, so they will not allow light to pass through the letters.
