Frequently Asked Questions
What products does Thekapco offer?
Thekapco offers mechanical keyboards, keycap sets, deskmats, wrist rests, mousepads, and selected keyboard accessories. Availability varies by collection and region.
What is the difference between keycaps, a pre-built keyboard, and a barebone keyboard kit?
Keycaps are the removable caps you type on. A pre-built keyboard arrives assembled with switches and keycaps and is ready to use. A barebone keyboard kit normally does not include switches or keycaps, so those parts must be purchased and installed separately.
Are Thekapco keycaps compatible with MX-style mechanical switches?
Yes. Thekapco keycaps are designed for MX-style cross stems. Always compare the product listing with your keyboard and switch specifications before ordering.
Do Thekapco keycap sets support ANSI and ISO keyboard layouts?
Thekapco keycap sets support standard ANSI and ISO layouts, subject to the keys included in the specific set. Check the product photos and keycap compatibility diagram for the exact key sizes supplied.
Will Thekapco keycaps fit every keyboard size?
They fit most standard mechanical keyboard sizes when the required key sizes are included. Unconventional or non-standard layouts, including some Alice-style and split keyboards, may require special key sizes. Compare your layout with the product's compatibility diagram before purchase.
What is included with my product?
Package contents vary by product and configuration. The product description is the authoritative source for what is included, so please review it before checkout. Items shown in lifestyle photos may be for display only unless listed as included.
