Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with most standard mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX-style cross-stem switches. Since this is a 145-key set, it covers a wide range of layouts, but you should verify your keyboard's specific bottom row and shift key sizes before purchasing.
The 1.7mm thickness provides a solid, premium feel and a deeper sound profile compared to thinner keycaps. Because they are made from PBT plastic, they are highly resistant to the oily shine that develops on standard ABS keycaps over time.
The Cherry profile is a popular, ergonomic choice that features a lower height and a sculpted shape. This design helps reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions by keeping the keys at a comfortable, natural angle.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This ensures the characters remain crisp and legible even with heavy, long-term use.
No, this product includes only the keycap set. You will need to have your own mechanical keyboard with compatible switches to install these keys.
