Full details
For mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seeking to enhance their RGB lighting, the GLORIOUS Polychroma V2 RGB Keycaps offer a fully transparent design to maximize LED brilliance.

FAQs
Are these keycaps compatible with non-Glorious mechanical keyboards?

How do I clean the keycaps?
Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For a deeper clean, hand wash in lukewarm water with mild soap and ensure they are completely dry before re-installation.
Will the keycap colors appear different under different lighting?
Yes, as they are transparent and designed to reflect ambient light and RGB effects, their appearance can vary based on the lighting conditions in your environment.
What material are the keycaps made from?
They are made from extremely durable polycarbonate material.
Does the layout include keys for both Windows and Mac?
Yes, the set includes keycaps for both Windows and Mac operating systems.
Can I use these keycaps on a laptop keyboard?
These keycaps are designed for mechanical keyboards with MX-style switches and are generally not compatible with the low-profile chiclet-style keys found on most laptops.
Troubleshooting
Keycap doesn't fit on switch
Ensure you are using a keyboard with MX-style mechanical switches. Verify the keycap is aligned correctly with the switch stem before pressing down. Some minor adjustments may be needed for non-standard switches.
Keycap feels loose
Press the keycap down more firmly onto the switch stem. If it remains loose, the switch stem or the keycap's inner socket may be damaged. Try a different keycap or switch.
RGB lighting does not show through clearly
Ensure your keyboard's RGB lighting is enabled and set to a bright setting. The translucent design works best with strong LED output. Check for any debris on the switch LED.
Legends are difficult to read
The readability of legends depends on ambient lighting and the brightness of your keyboard's backlighting. Ensure adequate lighting or increase RGB brightness. The proprietary font is designed for clarity.
