3. Keycap Profile: MOA Ergonomic Design

4. Material and Durability

These keycaps are constructed from high-quality PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) material. PBT is known for its durability, resistance to wear, and ability to maintain its color over time, preventing shine and discoloration often seen with other materials. The legends are applied using a 5-side dye sublimation technique, which embeds the design into the keycap material for long-lasting, fade-resistant graphics.

5. Compatibility

The OHY XVX MOA Profile Keycaps are designed for broad compatibility with various mechanical keyboards. They support both ANSI and ISO layouts and are suitable for common keyboard sizes including 60%, 65%, 75%, and 80% layouts (e.g., 61, 64, 68, 78, 80, 84, 87 keys). These keycaps are compatible with all standard cross-shaped switches (MX switches), including Cross Switch, Side Switch, and Box Switch types.

Note:

  • Keycaps are not compatible with Non-Cross Switches, Retaining Switches, Logitech G Switches, or Membrane Keyboards.

6. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install your new keycaps:

  1. Prepare Your Keyboard: Disconnect your keyboard from your computer. If your keyboard has backlighting, turn it off.
  2. Remove Existing Keycaps: Use the provided keycap puller to carefully remove your current keycaps. Gently pull upwards on each keycap until it detaches from the switch stem. Store your old keycaps safely if you plan to reuse them.
  3. Clean Your Keyboard (Optional): This is an ideal time to clean any dust or debris from your keyboard's switches and plate.
  4. Install New Keycaps: Align each new OHY XVX keycap with its corresponding switch stem. Press down firmly but gently until the keycap is securely seated. Ensure the keycap is level and does not wobble.
  5. Test Functionality: Once all keycaps are installed, reconnect your keyboard and test each key to ensure proper function.

7. Maintenance

To keep your keycaps in optimal condition:

  • Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris from between the keycaps.
  • Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, remove the keycaps using the keycap puller. Wash them gently with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching them to the keyboard.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PBT material or the dye-sublimated legends.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your keycaps, consider the following:

  • Keycap Not Seating Properly: Ensure the keycap is correctly aligned with the switch stem. Apply even pressure when pressing it down. Avoid forcing it, as this could damage the switch.
  • Keycap Wobbles: This may indicate improper seating. Remove the keycap and re-install it, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. If the issue persists, the switch stem might be slightly bent or damaged (unrelated to the keycap itself).
  • Legends Fading/Wearing: While PBT and dye-sublimation are durable, extreme conditions or harsh cleaning agents can affect them. Refer to the maintenance section for proper care.
  • Compatibility Issues: Double-check your keyboard's layout and switch type against the compatibility section (Section 5). Not all keyboards or switches are compatible.
