Know before you buy
No, these keycaps are made from solid PBT material and the legends are dye-sublimated, meaning the light will not shine through the characters. They are designed for a clean, classic aesthetic rather than backlit visibility.
The versions are categorized by layout compatibility. Version A covers 75% and 65% boards, Version B covers 80%, 100%, and 60% layouts, and Version C is a comprehensive set for a wider range of Keychron models. Check your specific keyboard model against the compatibility list provided in the specifications to ensure a proper fit.
These keycaps feature a standard MX-style stem, which makes them compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use MX-style switches. However, you should verify that your keyboard's bottom row layout matches the standard sizing provided in the set to ensure all keys fit correctly.
The OEM profile is the industry standard for most mechanical keyboards, offering a familiar, sculpted shape that is comfortable for long typing sessions. It provides a consistent feel that many users find more ergonomic than flat or uniform profiles.
Yes, please note that the Scroll Lock and Pause Break keys are not included in this set. Ensure your workflow does not rely heavily on these specific keys before purchasing.
PBT is highly regarded for its durability and resistance to the 'shine' that develops on ABS plastic over time. Combined with the five-sided dye-sublimation process, these keycaps are built to resist wear and keep their legends crisp even after heavy daily use.
