MX or Choc: which one do I need?

Check your switches and your board's key spacing. The **MX** variant has an MX stem and 19.05mm spacing: it fits MX-style switches and low-profile Choc v2. The **Choc** variant has a Choc v1 stem and 18 × 17mm spacing. The two are not interchangeable.

Will KLP Lamé fit my 60% or TKL keyboard?

Usually not. KLP Lamé comes in 1u and 1.5u only, with no 2u modifiers or spacebar. It's made for split, ortholinear and column-staggered boards, where almost every key is 1u.

Why are there different shapes in one set?

KLP Lamé sculpts by position instead of by row height. Saddle keys sit on the home row, tilted keys above and below it, and thumb keys under your thumbs. The kits already include the right shape for every position.

Who designed KLP Lamé?

Nikita Shirokov, known as braindefender, published it as an open-source design in 2023 under CC BY-SA 4.0. Yuzu's KLP Lamé keycaps are based on his design. The original models are on [GitHub](https://github.com/braindefender/KLP-Lame-Keycaps).

Ergo keycaps - MX & Choc

KLP Lamé Fully customizable

The sculpted keycaps split keyboard fans swear by, dye-sublimated on PBT. Every legend, every color, every layer on the key it lives on.

MX or Choc: Both stems, both spacings
Dye-sub PBT: Legends that never wear off
Made for ergo: Shaped for split and column-staggered boards

Sculpted for split keyboards, key by key

Split boards like the Corne or Sofle put keys in straight columns, with no row stagger. Classic sculpted profiles give each row a height; KLP Lamé gives each position a shape, so your fingers read the board through the edges and curves of every keytop.

The result feels like a full-height sculpted profile, at a fraction of the height.

Saddle

The home row shape. Two cuts on the top edges let your fingers glide up and down the column without catching.

Tilted

Angled 15° toward your fingers on the rows above and below home, so every reach lands on a face, not an edge.

Thumb

Shaped for how a thumb actually moves: no edge to hit, and a face that meets it at the right angle. In 1u and 1.5u.

Homing

A saddle key with three small bumps, so you find F and J by touch without looking down.

Your keymap, printed on the keys

Custom KLP Lamé used to mean 3D printing your own or settling for blanks. On Yuzu, you design the whole set in the browser and we print it.

Every layer on the key

Base letter, symbol layer, nav arrows, media keys: print all of them on the same keycap, anywhere on the keytop. Your keymap, finally visible.

Your colors, key by key

Pick the base color of every keycap and every legend. Color your thumb cluster, your home row or each layer on its own.

Fonts, icons, artwork

Mix fonts, drop in icons and symbols, or run a single graphic across the whole board. If you can draw it in the editor, we print it.

Dye-sublimated PBT

The ink goes into the plastic, not on top of it. Legends don't fade or rub off, and PBT doesn't get shiny with use.

MX or Choc?

Same shapes, two stems. Check your switches and your board's key spacing: the two variants are not interchangeable.
