Know before you buy
This set uses a standard MX stem, making it compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX switches or clones. It features an ANSI layout with 108 keys, so ensure your keyboard layout matches this configuration before purchasing.
These keycaps are made from thick PBT plastic and are not shine-through. Because the material is opaque, they are best suited for non-backlit keyboards; if you use them on a backlit board, you may experience light bleed around the edges of the keys.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the gold standard for mechanical keyboards due to its sculpted, ergonomic shape. It features a lower height than the standard OEM profile, which many typists find more comfortable for long sessions.
Yes, the legends are created using a 5-sided reverse dye-sublimation process. This embeds the ink into the PBT plastic, meaning the characters will not fade or wear off even with heavy, long-term use.
Yes, the set comes with a dedicated keycap puller to help you safely remove your existing keys. It also includes a premium storage case, which is useful for keeping your original keycaps organized and protected.
