Know before you buy
The Soulcat TRIBE set is designed for Cherry MX style switches, which are the industry standard for most mechanical keyboards. With 158 keys included, the set offers broad compatibility for various layouts, including full-size, TKL, and many compact configurations.
PBT plastic is denser and more textured than the ABS plastic found on many stock keyboards. This provides a more solid, tactile typing experience and prevents the 'greasy' shine that often develops on keycaps after heavy use.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the gold standard for ergonomics. Its sculpted, lower-profile shape helps reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions compared to taller, uniform profiles.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process. This infuses the ink directly into the plastic, making the characters highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with frequent use.
These keycaps are opaque, meaning they are not designed to allow light to shine through the legends. While they will still fit on keyboards with RGB lighting, the light will only reflect from underneath the keys rather than illuminating the characters themselves.
