Know before you buy
No, this set is specifically designed for 98% layouts like the Leopold FC980. It lacks the necessary key sizes to cover a standard 100% keyboard layout.
These keycaps are not backlit-compatible. Because they are made from thick, opaque PBT plastic, light will not shine through the legends.
Double-shot molding involves injecting two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend. This ensures the legends will never fade or wear off, even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many users prefer it for its comfortable, ergonomic feel during long typing sessions.
You will need a standard wire or plastic keycap puller to safely remove your existing keys. The Leopold Vapor set uses standard MX-style stems, making them compatible with almost all mechanical switches.
