Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using MX-style stems, which includes most standard mechanical switches like Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh. They are designed to fit a wide range of layouts from 60% to full-size 100% boards.
No, these keycaps are not designed for backlighting. Because they are made from opaque PBT material with dye-sublimated legends, light will not shine through the characters.
The OEM profile is the standard height found on most pre-built mechanical keyboards. It features a sculpted, stepped design that is generally considered very comfortable for both typing and gaming.
Five-sided dye-sublimation infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This makes the legends extremely durable and resistant to fading or wearing off, even after years of heavy use.
PBT plastic is highly resistant to the oils from your fingers, meaning these keycaps will maintain their matte, textured finish much longer than standard ABS plastic caps, which tend to develop a shiny appearance.
