Operating Your Keycaps
The Akko Mountain Seclusion MOA Profile keycaps are designed for a comfortable and consistent typing experience. Their uniform height and rounded edges contribute to a unique feel.
Typing Experience
- Tactile Feel: The MOA profile increases the contact surface between your fingers and the keycaps, which can enhance typing comfort.
- Acoustics: The thickness of the PBT material, combined with the MOA profile, is engineered to produce a satisfying sound profile during typing.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning Your Keycaps
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Akko PBT keycaps:
- Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris regularly.
- For deeper cleaning, gently wipe the keycaps with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the legends or the PBT material.
- Ensure keycaps are completely dry before re-installing them on your keyboard.
Durability
The PBT material and dye-sublimation process ensure that the keycap legends are highly resistant to fading and wear, even with prolonged use.

Troubleshooting
Keycap Not Fitting
- Incorrect Size: Verify that you are attempting to install the correct keycap for the specific switch. The set includes various sizes for different rows and modifier keys.
- Switch Stem Damage: Inspect the switch stem for any bends or damage. If the stem is damaged, the keycap may not seat properly.
Keycap Wobbles
- Improper Seating: Ensure the keycap is pressed down firmly and evenly onto the switch stem.
- Stabilizer Issues: For larger keys (e.g., Spacebar, Shift, Enter), ensure the stabilizers are properly installed and lubricated on your keyboard. Non-standard layouts or certain stabilizers may have compatibility issues.
Legends Appear Faded or Uneven
- Dye-Sublimation Process: Due to the nature of dye-sublimation, minor variations in legend appearance can occur. However, significant fading is unlikely with PBT dye-sub keycaps. If issues persist, contact support.
