2. Key Features
- Keycaps Only: This package contains a 160-piece keycap set. A keyboard is not included. These keycaps are designed for non-backlit keyboards.
Figure 2.1: The keycaps are designed for non-backlit keyboards, providing a clean and consistent appearance.
- Doubleshot & PBT Material: Manufactured using a doubleshot molding process with high-quality PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) material. This construction ensures that the keycap legends are bright, long-lasting, and resistant to fading or wear over time, unlike printed legends.

- CSA Profile: The keycaps feature a CSA profile, characterized by a curved radian. This profile is slightly higher than the common Cherry profile and offers a more indented surface, similar to SA profile but shorter, providing a distinct ergonomic feel and typing experience.

3. Setup and Installation
Installing your new Mosptnspg keycaps is a straightforward process. Ensure your keyboard is powered off before beginning installation.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare Your Keyboard: Disconnect your mechanical keyboard from your computer. If your keyboard has existing keycaps, use a keycap puller (not included) to carefully remove them.
- Identify Keycap Placement: Refer to the layout diagrams provided (Figure 2.4 and 2.5) to identify the correct placement for each keycap. The set includes various sizes to accommodate different keyboard layouts (e.g., 60%, TKL, Full-size).
- Install Keycaps: Align the cross-shaped stem on the underside of each keycap with the corresponding switch stem on your keyboard. Gently press down until the keycap is securely seated. Ensure the keycap is level and does not wobble.
- Stabilizer Keys: For larger keys such as the Spacebar, Shift, Enter, and Backspace, ensure the stabilizer inserts on the keycap align with the stabilizer wires on your keyboard. Press down evenly on both ends of the keycap to secure it.
- Test Functionality: Once all keycaps are installed, reconnect your keyboard to your computer and test each key to ensure proper functionality and feel.

4. Operating Characteristics
The Mosptnspg keycaps are designed to provide a superior typing and gaming experience through their specific characteristics:
- Typing Feel: The CSA profile, with its unique curvature and slightly taller design, offers a comfortable and distinct typing feel. Users may find it provides a more ergonomic experience compared to flatter profiles.
- Sound Profile: The extra-thick PBT key walls contribute to a deeper, more satisfying "thocky" sound when keys are actuated, enhancing the auditory feedback of your mechanical keyboard.
- Durability and Longevity: The doubleshot PBT construction ensures that the legends will not fade or wear off, even with extensive use. The PBT material itself is highly resistant to shine and oil buildup, maintaining its textured finish over time.

5. Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Mosptnspg keycaps, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, carefully remove the keycaps using a keycap puller. Wash them in lukewarm water with a mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: After washing, rinse the keycaps thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before re-installing them on your keyboard. Ensure no moisture remains inside the keycap stems.
- Avoid Excessive Force: When installing or removing keycaps, apply gentle, even pressure to prevent damage to the keycap stems or keyboard switches.
