Fading keycaps

"Fading" Keycaps: What to Know

The lettering on our boards is laser-etched, which means it will not fade or rub off. What appears to be fading is just dirt, oils, etc. transferring from our fingertips to the keycaps.

The keycaps can be cleaned with a little rubbing alcohol (91% works well) and a Q-tip. Be careful not to drip any of the alcohol into the keyboard. Alternatively, you can remove the keycaps entirely. Cleaning with alcohol will remove the dirt and restore the lettering on the keys.
