Know before you buy
While the keycaps are designed with a Mac-specific layout, they are physically compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX style switches. However, keep in mind that the legends on the keys will reflect Mac-specific functions rather than standard Windows keys.
The primary difference is the material composition. The White set is made from PBT plastic, which is known for its textured feel and resistance to shine over time, while the Black set uses ABS plastic, which typically offers a smoother finish and sharper color contrast.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice because it is slightly shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile. This creates a more ergonomic, comfortable typing experience that many users find reduces finger fatigue during long sessions.
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that utilizes Cherry MX style switches. If your keyboard uses a different switch stem design, such as Topre or low-profile switches, these keycaps will not fit.
You will need a standard keycap puller to safely remove your existing keys without damaging the switches. Most mechanical keyboard enthusiasts keep one on hand, as it makes the customization process quick and prevents scratching the switch housing.
