Know before you buy
The 40s kit is specifically designed to provide the necessary keycaps for compact 40% mechanical keyboard layouts. It includes the specialized smaller keys required to cover these unique, non-standard board sizes.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones. As long as your switches have the standard cross-shaped stem, these caps will fit.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the OEM profile, which many users find reduces finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
No, the legends will not fade. Because these keycaps are manufactured using a double-shot injection molding process, the legends are physically molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface.
These are made from PBT plastic. PBT is preferred for its durability and resistance to the 'shine' that often develops on ABS keycaps after heavy use, ensuring they maintain a matte texture over time.
