Know before you buy
The 172-key count is designed to be highly versatile, covering standard full-size layouts as well as most compact configurations like 75%, 65%, and 60% boards. It includes the necessary extra keys to accommodate various bottom row configurations and non-standard shift sizes.
No, the keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic, which is specifically chosen for its matte texture and resistance to the oils that cause shine. Unlike cheaper ABS plastic, these will maintain their original finish even after heavy use.
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses Cherry MX style switches, which includes the vast majority of modern mechanical keyboards. If your switches have a cross-shaped stem, these will fit.
The Cherry Profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a slightly lower height and a sculpted shape that follows the natural curve of your fingers, making it ideal for long typing sessions.
Because these keycaps are manufactured using a double-shot process, the legends are molded directly into the plastic rather than printed on top. This ensures the characters will never fade, rub off, or lose their clarity.
