Know before you buy
With 226 keys included, this set is designed for broad compatibility across almost all standard and non-standard mechanical keyboard layouts. It covers everything from full-size boards to compact 60% or 75% configurations.
The ASA profile is a proprietary Akko design that combines the sculpted, spherical top of a classic SA profile with a height similar to the standard OEM profile. It offers a comfortable, ergonomic feel that is generally easier to get used to than taller, vintage-style keycaps.
Yes, they are crafted from durable PBT material. This plastic is highly resistant to the shine that often develops on ABS keycaps over time, ensuring the texture and appearance remain consistent even with heavy daily use.
While the set is primarily designed for the ANSI layout, the 226-key count includes various alternative sizes and specialty keys that provide flexibility for many different configurations. However, you should verify your specific bottom row and modifier key sizes to ensure a perfect match.
These keycaps are opaque and do not feature shine-through legends. If your keyboard has per-key RGB lighting, it will create an underglow effect between the keys rather than illuminating the characters themselves.
