keycap compatibility

switches

switches are the part of the keyboard the keycaps attach to. if you look at an individual switch, you’ll notice a ‘+’ symbol on top—this is the stem. the stem is what directly attaches to the keycaps, so you want to make sure the shape matches.

our keycaps are compatible with mx-style switches (standard and HE).

sizes

it’s also important to understand the different keycap sizes when purchasing a set. this ensures the keycaps will be compatible with your keyboard layout. some keyboards have unconventional layouts, such as split boards or select gaming keyboards, so make sure to double check the sizes of the keys before committing to a set.

keycaps are measured in units (u). 1u refers to the size of your typical square keys and larger keys are measured relative to the 1u keys. so if a key is 1.75u, then it is 1.75x the size of a regular key.

typical areas on a keyboard that could vary in sizes are the bottom row, and action keys such as shift, tab, enter, and caps.

profiles

keycap profiles don’t typically affect the compatibility of your keycaps to your board, but the one exception to this is low profile keyboards.

the switches on low profile keyboards are shaped differently from normal switches, and our keycaps would be too tall for the keyboard itself.
