Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is a popular choice for mechanical keyboards because it features a slightly lower, sculpted height that promotes a more natural typing angle. This design helps reduce finger fatigue during extended typing sessions compared to taller profiles like OEM or SA.
These keycaps are made from PBT plastic, which is highly resistant to the 'shine' that often develops on cheaper ABS keycaps after heavy use. Additionally, the dye-sublimation printing process embeds the ink into the plastic, meaning the legends will not wear off or fade with friction.
The FBB Artist R2 set is designed with broad compatibility in mind to fit most standard mechanical keyboard layouts. However, you should verify that your keyboard uses a standard bottom row and MX-style stem switches before purchasing.
Dye-sublimation allows the legends to be permanently dyed into the PBT material rather than sitting on top of the surface. This ensures the keycaps maintain a smooth, consistent texture across the entire surface, providing a clean tactile experience without any raised edges from the printing.
Yes, you will need a standard keycap puller to safely remove your existing keys without damaging your switches. While not included in this set, a wire-style puller is recommended to prevent scratching the sides of the keycaps during installation.
