Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with all standard MX-style mechanical switches, including those from Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and Durock.
No, the legends are created using doubleshot and tripleshot molding processes. This ensures the characters are physically part of the keycap structure, so they will not fade or wear off even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than OEM profiles, making it ideal for long typing sessions.
It depends on your layout. The Base kit covers most standard layouts, but if you are using a 40% board, a numpad, or a specific JIS layout, you will need to purchase the corresponding 40s or Numpad kits to ensure full coverage.
These keycaps are made from high-quality PBT plastic, which is known for its resistance to shine and its slightly textured, matte finish. This material is significantly more durable and oil-resistant than standard ABS plastic.
Yes, this set includes specific support for JIS layouts, making it a versatile choice if you are using a Japanese-standard keyboard configuration.
