Know before you buy
These keycaps are crafted from high-quality PBT plastic. This material is chosen for its durability and resistance to the shine that often develops on ABS keycaps over time.
The set is designed for mechanical keyboards with standard MX-style stems. Please note that this is a 54-key alpha set, so you will need to ensure you have a compatible modifier kit to complete your board.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than OEM profiles, making it a favorite for long typing sessions.
No, the legends will not fade. They are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface.
These keycaps are not shine-through. Because they are made from thick, opaque PBT, light from your keyboard's LEDs will not pass through the legends.
