Know before you buy
The US-International layout includes additional symbols and dead keys that allow you to type accented characters and foreign language symbols without needing a different physical keyboard layout. It is a standard choice for users who need to type in multiple languages while maintaining the familiar US ANSI key arrangement.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard using Cherry MX switches or MX-style clones, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market. If your keyboard has a standard layout, these will fit perfectly.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for comfort. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than the OEM profile, making it a favorite for long typing sessions and gaming alike.
No, the legends are created using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes the characters extremely durable and resistant to the wear and shine that typically affects cheaper, pad-printed keycaps.
The Base kit is designed to cover most standard keyboard layouts. You only need to purchase the additional 40s, Accents, or Spacebar kits if you have a non-standard layout, such as a 40% keyboard, or if you want to customize the aesthetic with different color accents.
