1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the installation, use, and maintenance of your SDYZ 71-Key OEM Profile PBT Dye-Sublimation Keycap Set. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure proper handling and longevity of your keycaps.
2. Product Overview
The SDYZ 71-keycap set is designed for mechanical keyboards, featuring durable PBT material and a comfortable OEM profile. The legends are applied using a heat sublimation process for enhanced durability.
- Material: Constructed from PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) plastic, known for its durability and resistance to shine over time.
- Thickness: Each keycap has an approximate thickness of 1.5mm.
- Legend Printing: Utilizes a heat sublimation (dye-sublimation) process, where the color penetrates the keycap material, preventing fading of legends even after extended use.
- Profile: Features an OEM profile, which is slightly taller than Cherry profile, designed for ergonomic comfort during prolonged typing sessions.
3. Compatibility

- RK61 series

4. Package Contents
The SDYZ 71-Keycap Set package includes the following items:

- 1 x Keycap Puller
5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your new keycaps:
- Prepare Your Keyboard: Ensure your mechanical keyboard is powered off and disconnected from your computer.
- Remove Existing Keycaps: Use the included keycap puller to carefully remove your current keycaps. Grip the keycap firmly with the puller and pull straight up to avoid damaging the switch stem.
- Organize New Keycaps: Lay out your new SDYZ keycaps according to your keyboard layout. Pay attention to the different sizes and profiles for each row (e.g., R1, R2, R3, R4).
- Install New Keycaps: Align each new keycap with its corresponding switch stem. Press down gently but firmly until the keycap is securely seated on the switch. Ensure the keycap is oriented correctly.
- Test Functionality: Once all keycaps are installed, reconnect your keyboard and test each key to ensure proper functionality and seating.
6. Usage
These keycaps are designed for standard typing and gaming use on compatible mechanical keyboards. The OEM profile contributes to a comfortable typing experience. For keyboards with backlighting, the legends are designed to allow light to pass through, enhancing visibility in various lighting conditions.
7. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your keycaps, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the keycaps. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the PBT material or dye-sublimated legends.
- Dust Removal: Regularly use compressed air or a soft brush to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
- Storage: If removing keycaps for storage, keep them in a clean, dry container to prevent dust accumulation and potential damage.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your keycaps, consider the following:
- Keycap Not Fitting: Ensure the keycap is correctly aligned with the switch stem. Some switches may have tighter tolerances; apply gentle, even pressure. Verify your keyboard uses MX-style switches.
- Legends Not Bright Enough (Backlighting): These keycaps are designed for keyboards with top/north-facing LEDs. If your keyboard has south-facing LEDs, the backlighting may appear dimmer through the legends. This is a characteristic of the keyboard's LED placement, not a defect of the keycaps.
- Keycaps Feel Loose: Re-seat the keycap by pressing it down firmly. If a keycap consistently feels loose, inspect the switch stem for damage.
