NPKC Blank Thick PBT OEM Profile 108 ANSI Keycaps for MX Switches Mechanical Keyboard (Only Keycap) (Red)

Product Information

The number of keycaps on a keyboard depends on the keyboard's layout. Most standard mechanical keyboards have 104 keycaps, including alphanumeric keys, function keys, number pad, navigation keys, and various control keys. However, smaller keyboards, such as 60% or 75% layouts, have fewer keycaps, typically around 61 to 87 keys. The TAI-HAO keycaps are also compatible with a variety of MX switches, including Cherry MX, Kailh MX, Gateron MX, OmniPoint MX, and Razer MX switches. This makes them a versatile choice for those who have different types of mechanical keyboards.

Yes, Razer keyboards typically use keycaps with an OEM profile. The keycaps that come pre-installed on Razer keyboards are designed with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) profile. This profile is one of the most commonly used and widely available keycap profiles in the industry. The keycaps you choose can affect the feel of your mechanical keyboard in a few ways. The material of the keycaps can make a big difference. ABS keycaps are the most common type of keycaps and are relatively inexpensive. Cherry profile keycaps are lower in height and considered as low profile keycaps. However, this difference between the two varies from the user’s preferences. Material Comparison These keycaps are designed in the OEM profile, which is a popular profile among keyboard enthusiasts. OEM profile keycaps are slightly taller than standard keycaps and have a slight curve to them, which makes typing more comfortable and efficient. Additionally, these keycaps are compatible with all Cherry MX compatible switches, which means that they will work with a wide variety of keyboards.In addition, by customizing the profile design you will have a keycap set that feels comfortable and efficient to type on. Enter Key: In ISO layouts, the Enter key is typically taller and narrower, resembling an "L" shape as well. Its size can vary depending on the specific ISO layout (e.g., ISO-UK, ISO-FR). There is a negligible difference in keycap height between the Cherry profile and OEM which are slightly taller and easier to reach and press.

In addition, the keycaps come with a stainless steel keycap remover, making it easy to replace the default keycaps with the TAI-HAO keycaps. This ensures that the keycaps are installed correctly and securely, which is important for a smooth and comfortable typing experience. The Keychron Retro OEM Profile Dye-Sub PBT Keycaps have an MX-style stem, which is compatible with most Cherry MX switches and clones. The OEM profile is a standard shape that is commonly used on most keyboards. It provides a comfortable typing experience with a subtle feeling that you can’t find on other keycaps. Keycaps work by attaching to the switches on a mechanical keyboard. Each keycap has a stem that fits over the switch's stem. When you press a keycap, it pushes down on the switch's stem, actuating the switch and registering a keystroke. The material, shape, and profile of the keycap influence the feel and sound of typing. Keycaps are also customizable, allowing you to change the look and feel of your keyboard to suit your preferences. OEM Profile: OEM keycaps offer a more uniform typing experience, as all the keycaps have the same shape and height. While they may not provide the same ergonomic benefits as Cherry keycaps, some users prefer the consistent feel across all keys.
