🎨 1. Keycaps Are the Personality of Your Keyboard

Your mechanical keyboard is a canvas — and keycaps are the art.

From kawaii-themed keycaps like our Strawberry Cat and Ice Cream Bear sets, to literary-inspired designs like To Kill a Mockingbird, the style options are endless. You can choose a set that matches your aesthetic, your favorite game, or even your mood.

🔧 2. It’s Not Just About Looks – It’s About Feel

Our keycaps are made with PBT material and feature MOA profile sculpting, which means:

  • Better durability than standard ABS caps

  • A textured, non-shiny surface that resists wear

  • Ergonomic sculpted rows for more comfortable typing

  • Dye-sublimated legends that won’t fade over time

Some of our sets also feature shine-through side engravings, perfect for RGB backlit keyboards.

⌨️ 3. Compatibility You Can Count On

All of our keycaps are designed to fit:

  • 75%, 98%, and 104-key layouts

  • Cherry MX and compatible switch types

  • ANSI standard layouts (most popular in North America and beyond)

Whether you're modding your first keyboard or building your tenth custom setup, these sets fit like a dream.

🌟 4. Limited Editions, Collector Energy

Some of our designs are made in limited runs, making them perfect for collectors and enthusiasts. Sets like Printstream Collection and Comic Style Keycaps blend pop culture with color theory for a one-of-a-kind vibe.
