Know before you buy
The XDA profile features a uniform, flat height across all rows, unlike the sculpted, stepped profile found on standard keyboards. This creates a consistent feel and a sleek, low-profile aesthetic that many users find comfortable for both typing and gaming.
With 146 keys, this set is designed to cover a wide range of layouts, including full-size, TKL, 75%, and 65% boards. It includes various modifier sizes to accommodate non-standard bottom rows, but you should verify your specific keyboard's key sizes before purchasing.
Dye-sublimation infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic rather than printing it on the surface. This makes the legends highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with heavy, long-term use.
PBT plastic typically has a slightly matte, textured finish that provides a tactile grip and resists the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps over time. This makes them feel more premium and stable under your fingertips.
No, these keycaps are made of solid PBT plastic and are not shine-through. If your keyboard has RGB lighting, the light will not pass through the legends, though it will still glow around the edges of the keys.
