Learn how to install and style Pharaoh keycaps for a stunning ancient Egypt themed mechanical keyboard. Step-by-step guide with pro tips.

Quick answer

Pharaoh keycaps bring an ancient Egypt aesthetic to your mechanical keyboard. Installing them is straightforward with the right tools and a careful step-by-step approach.

Why Pharaoh keycaps stand out

The Pharaoh keycap set features detailed artwork inspired by ancient Egyptian pyramids and temple frescoes. Each keycap is designed to evoke the grandeur of that civilization, making your keyboard a unique conversation piece.

Because the set includes a specific number of keys, it fits standard layouts like full-size, TKL, and 60% boards. Check your keyboard's layout before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

How to install Pharaoh keycaps on your mechanical keyboard

Gather your tools: You'll need a keycap puller (wire or ring type) and a clean, flat workspace. Avoid using metal tools that can scratch the keycaps or switch stems. A plastic keycap puller is safest to prevent damage.
Remove existing keycaps: Gently wiggle each keycap upward using the puller. Start from the edges and work inward. Common mistake: pulling too hard on a single side can bend the switch stem. Lift evenly. If a keycap feels stuck, check for debris or a bent stem before forcing it.
Align the Pharaoh keycap correctly: Each keycap has a specific orientation—look for the stem alignment notch or the printed artwork direction. Place the keycap over the switch stem and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Double-check that the legend faces you and the artwork is upright before pressing fully.
Install in logical order: Install keycaps row by row (e.g., number row, then QWERTY row, then bottom row). This helps you keep track of which keycap goes where and prevents mixing up sizes. Take a photo of your original layout before removal to use as a reference.
Test all keys after installation: Press each key to ensure it registers and doesn't stick. Listen for any unusual sounds—a loose or crooked keycap can cause rattling. Re-seat any that feel off. A quick typing test reveals most installation issues immediately.
