An IBM PC/XT-inspired colorway

These keycaps take their vintage keyboard look from the IBM 5160 PC/XT, with red, yellow, blue, and purple accents across the retro colorway. Some novelty keys carry multiple legends on one cap, giving you more ways to place them on your board. The set uses PBT keycaps in Cherry Profile, with Dye-Sublimation legends and a listed thickness of 1.7mm.

Base Kit: 142 keys

Choose the 142-key Base Kit if you want the main set of IBM-inspired keycaps. Compare the Base Kit layout image with your keyboard before ordering, especially the bottom row and larger keys.

Color Kit: 58 keys

FAQs

Most keycaps use a standard MX-style cross stem, which is compatible with the majority of mechanical switches (Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Akko, etc.).
Before purchasing, please check:

  • Your keyboard layout (60%, 65%, 75%, TKL, Full-size, etc.)
  • Whether you need special keys (ISO Enter, split spacebar, 1.75u Shift, etc.)

For a more detailed explanation, you can also read our guide here:
👉 Do All Keycaps Fit All Switches? Complete Compatibility Guide

If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us before ordering.

Keycap profile refers to the height and shape of the keycaps.

  • Cherry Profile – Lower height, comfortable for long typing sessions
  • OEM Profile – Slightly taller, very common on prebuilt keyboards
  • MOA Profile – Uniform height, rounded shape, cute and soft typing feel

Choosing a profile is mostly about personal preference.

Please check the product specs:

  • Shine-through: Yes → Legends allow RGB light to pass through
  • Shine-through: No → Legends are solid (better color accuracy, no light bleed)

Some keycaps may feature translucent sides for RGB underglow while keeping solid legends.
