Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. Because the set is available in multiple kits, you can select the configuration that matches your specific keyboard layout.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than OEM profiles, which helps reduce wrist fatigue during long typing sessions.
No. These keycaps are produced using a doubleshot molding process, meaning the legends are formed by a second layer of plastic rather than being printed on the surface. This ensures they will never fade or wear away.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium and substantial than standard ABS. It is also significantly more resistant to the oily shine that often develops on keycaps after heavy use.
Yes, the set includes a high-quality ABS storage tray with a custom-designed cover. This keeps your unused keys organized and protected from damage when you aren't using them.
