Know before you buy
This set is compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. Because it includes 139 keys, it supports a wide variety of layouts, including standard full-size, TKL, and many custom compact configurations.
No. These keycaps are manufactured using a double-shot process, meaning the legends are molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface. This ensures they will remain crisp and legible even after years of heavy use.
No, these are non-backlit keycaps. The PBT material is opaque, so light from your keyboard's LEDs will not shine through the legends.
The Cherry profile is a popular, sculpted keycap shape known for its ergonomic feel. It is slightly shorter than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards, which many enthusiasts prefer for a more comfortable and consistent typing angle.
Yes, the set comes in a dedicated ABS keycap tray with a protective cover. This keeps your keys organized and safe from damage or dust while they are off your board.
