This set includes 104 key‑caps, designed to cover a full standard keyboard layout (including function row, number pad, arrows and extras) and is compatible with Cherry MX style mechanical switches and clones. It fits most standard mechanical keyboards.
Because they are universal blank key‑caps (i.e., no printed legends) they’re ideal if you want a clean uniform look, or if you’re comfortable touch‑typing and don’t need visible key labels. The set is also back‑lit ready (ABS plastic lets light through nicely) so it’s suitable for keyboards with RGB or LED under‑key lighting.
These key‑caps are made from ABS plastic. ABS is a common and cost‑effective material for key‑caps; it allows for bright colours and good light‑transmission for back‑lit keys. However, it is worth knowing that ABS has some trade‑offs: over time with heavy use, the surface may become shiny (especially on frequently used keys) and ABS may show wear more noticeably compared to other materials like PBT.
If you value vivid lighting effects and a full replacement for standard keyboard layouts, this set will perform well — just keep in mind the lifespan considerations.
- Before installing: power down your keyboard, gently remove the current key‑caps using a key‑cap puller (avoid pulling the switches themselves).
- Install the new key‑caps by aligning the stem (cross‑shaped for Cherry MX style) and pressing them firmly until fully seated.
- After installation: test all keys to ensure nothing is stuck or mis‑aligned (especially important for back‑lit keyboards).
- To clean or maintain: Periodically remove and clean key‑caps if you spill or collect dust. ABS surfaces can accumulate shine from oils — wipe them with a lightly damp cloth, dry thoroughly.
- If you notice excessive shine/wear on high‑use keys and you prefer fresh feel, you may rotate key‑caps (swap with seldom‑used positions) or replace the set in future.
