Know before you buy
The set includes 108 keys, which covers most standard mechanical keyboard layouts. However, you should check your keyboard's bottom row layout and stabilizer type to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
PBT plastic has a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium and resists the 'shine' that often develops on ABS keycaps over time. It is also more durable and heat-resistant, providing a more stable typing experience.
No, the legends and gradient designs are applied using precision dye-sublimation. This process infuses the ink into the plastic rather than printing it on the surface, ensuring the design remains sharp and fade-resistant even after years of use.
The choice depends on your preference: Cherry and OEM profiles are sculpted for ergonomic comfort, while XDA and ASA offer a more uniform or taller feel. If you are unsure, the OEM profile is a standard, comfortable choice for most users.
These keycaps are made of high-density PBT, which is generally opaque. While they will fit on backlit switches, the light will not shine through the legends, so they are best suited for boards where you prefer a clean, non-backlit aesthetic.
