MX stem keycaps: what to focus on
MX stems are the default for most mechanical keyboards. Stick to MX-compatible profiles and materials.
Most sets fit
If your board uses MX stems, most keycap sets will fit physically.
Profile matters more
Cherry/OEM are safe defaults. Try SA/XDA for different silhouettes.
Legend clarity
Ask for clean typography. Avoid tiny multi-line legends to reduce artifacts.

Compatibility table
MX stem is the most common. Use this to compare with other mounts.
| Switch / stem | Compatibility | Typical | Prompt tip | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MX stem (Cherry MX & clones) | Fits most modern keycap sets | Cross-shaped stem used by most mechanical keyboards. | Mention “MX stem” + keep legends clean and high-contrast. | |
| Kailh Choc (low-profile) | Requires Choc-compatible keycaps | Low-profile switches with a different stem standard. | Prompt “low-profile keycaps” and avoid tall sculpted profiles. | |
| Topre | Requires Topre-mount keycaps (not MX by default) | Electrocapacitive boards (e.g. HHKB, Realforce) use Topre mount. | Prompt “Topre mount keycaps” and keep the set minimal for clarity. | |
| Alps | Requires Alps-mount keycaps | Vintage/legacy stem standard (Alps/Matias ecosystem). | Prompt “Alps stem keycaps” and use simple legends to reduce artifacts. |
