Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is a standard, sculpted shape that is slightly shorter than the OEM profile. It is widely favored for its ergonomic, comfortable feel during long typing sessions.
These keycaps feature an MX stem, which makes them compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboard switches, including Cherry MX, Gateron, Kailh, and most other standard mechanical switches.
The primary legends are created using a double-shot process, meaning the characters are molded into the plastic rather than printed on top, so they will never fade. The novelties use UV printing, which provides high detail but should be handled with standard care.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The ABS material is opaque, so your keyboard's backlighting will not illuminate the legends.
Yes, the set is highly modular. By selecting the appropriate kits—such as the Base, Numpad, or 40's kits—you can configure the set to fit everything from compact 40% layouts to full-sized keyboards with a numpad.
The standard alphas feature English (US) legends, while the optional Hangul alphas include Korean characters alongside the English letters. Both options maintain the same white-on-blue color scheme.
