Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is widely preferred by enthusiasts for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than the standard OEM profile. This design reduces finger travel distance and provides a more comfortable typing angle for long sessions.
No, these keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic, which is significantly more resistant to the oils from your fingertips than standard ABS plastic. This ensures the surface retains its matte, textured finish even after heavy use.
The S9000 set is designed for any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market. With 177 keys included, the set provides broad coverage for standard, compact, and custom layouts.
The legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This makes the legends virtually impossible to wear off, even with years of consistent typing.
These keycaps feature a 1.7mm thickness, which is considered quite substantial for a keycap set. This added mass helps produce a deeper, more satisfying 'thock' sound profile compared to thinner, stock keycaps.
