Know before you buy
The DSA profile is uniform, meaning every row has the same height and spherical shape. This provides a consistent, flat typing surface that many users find more comfortable for long typing sessions than the sculpted, angled rows found on standard OEM or Cherry profiles.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using MX-style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. They are designed for an ANSI layout, so ensure your keyboard follows the standard US layout for the best fit.
Yes, they are crafted from PBT plastic, which is significantly more resistant to the oily shine that develops on ABS plastic over time. The matte finish further helps maintain a clean, consistent look even after heavy use.
No, these keycaps are not backlight compatible. The dye-sublimated legends are opaque, so your keyboard's backlighting will not shine through the characters.
The legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the plastic. This makes the characters extremely durable and resistant to fading or wearing off, even with frequent use.
