Know before you buy
This 51-key add-on set is designed to provide international layout support, such as ISO keys, that are not included in standard base kits. It ensures you have the necessary keys to complete specific regional layouts while maintaining the Dolch aesthetic.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. As long as your keyboard uses this standard stem type, these caps will fit.
Double-shot molding involves injecting two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend separately. Because the legend is a physical piece of plastic rather than a printed layer, it will not fade or wear off, even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is a popular, lower-profile shape that is slightly sculpted to follow the natural curve of your fingers. It is widely preferred for its comfortable, ergonomic feel during long typing sessions.
Yes, this is an add-on kit containing 51 keys intended to supplement a standard PBTfans Dolch base set. It does not contain a full set of alphanumeric keys required to cover a complete keyboard.
