Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using MX-style cross-stem switches. They are designed to fit a wide range of layouts, including 100%, TKL, 96%, 75%, 65%, and 60% configurations.
PBT is a denser, more durable plastic that resists the oily shine that develops on standard ABS keycaps over time. It offers a more textured feel and ensures the keys maintain their original appearance even after years of heavy use.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT material. This makes them extremely resistant to wear and fading compared to standard pad-printed keycaps.
This is a result of the five-sided dye-sublimation process used to achieve the Hacker theme design. Because the ink is applied to multiple surfaces, slight color variations between the top and sides are a normal characteristic of this manufacturing method.
Yes, the 133-key set is comprehensive enough to support both ANSI and ISO layouts, providing the necessary keys to accommodate different regional standards.
The OEM profile is a standard, sculpted shape that is widely used on many pre-built mechanical keyboards. It features a slight curve across the rows, which is generally considered comfortable and ergonomic for both gaming and extended typing sessions.
