FAQs

What is the difference between linear, tactile, and clicky switches?

Linear switches are smooth and silent throughout the keystroke, tactile switches have a noticeable bump to signal actuation, and clicky switches add an audible click. Angry Miao's Icy Silver Pro series are linear switches tuned for a smooth, creamy typing feel.

Are keycap sets compatible with all keyboards?

Most keycap sets use standard MX stem compatibility, which fits the majority of hot-swap keyboards. Always check the layout and key count of the set against your keyboard before purchasing to ensure a full fit.

What material are keycaps typically made from?

Most keycap sets use ABS or PBT plastic. PBT is generally more durable and resistant to shine over time, while ABS can offer smoother legends and vibrant colorways. The right choice depends on your preference for feel and longevity.

How many switches do I need to purchase for my keyboard?

It depends on your layout. A 65% keyboard typically needs around 68 switches, a 75% around 84, and an 80% around 87. Angry Miao sells switches in 90-piece packs to cover most common layouts with some spares.

What are artisan keycaps?

Artisan keycaps are individually crafted, often handmade keys designed as decorative statement pieces for one or two keys on your board. They're popular among collectors and enthusiasts looking to add a personal touch to their setup.
