Frequently Asked Questions
Is this keycap set compatible with my Keychron keyboard?+
Version C is designed for full-size layouts and is compatible with many Keychron models, including Q, V, K, L, P, and C Series, as well as Lemokey and 81 Pro. Check your keyboard's layout before purchasing.
What is the difference between dye-sub and double-shot keycaps?+
Dye-sub uses heat to infuse dye into the PBT plastic, creating legends that won't fade. Double-shot molds two plastics together for legends that can't wear off. Both are durable, but dye-sub allows for more complex colours and designs.
Will these keycaps fit Cherry MX switches?+
Yes, they are compatible with all MX-style switches, including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, and others.
