Know before you buy
No, this product includes only the 26 keycaps. You will need to provide your own mechanical keyboard with MX-style switches to use them.
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with MX-style stems. While they fit most standard mechanical keyboards, you should ensure your layout supports the specific key sizes included in this 26-key add-on.
No, the legends are created using a double-shot injection molding process. This ensures the characters are physically part of the keycap rather than printed on top, making them highly resistant to fading.
The Cherry profile is a popular choice known for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the standard OEM profile. Many users find it more comfortable for long typing sessions due to its refined curvature.
No, these keycaps are made from opaque PBT material and are not designed to allow light to shine through the legends.
