Description
Nine colourways, one build. PBT double-shot, OEM sculpted rows, 126 caps. The palette changes; the construction, the height and the legend method stay identical across every one of them.
The nine colourways
Every set divides the board into three tones: alphas, modifiers, and a colour that is held back for Esc, Return, the spacebar and the arrow cluster. Pick the one whose accent you want to look at every day.
| Colourway | Alphas / modifiers / accent |
|---|---|
| Maple Yellow | Cream / butter yellow / cobalt blue |
| Frost Blue | Pale blue-white / periwinkle / sand |
| Blue White Grey | White / soft grey / blue |
| Blue White Black | White / pale blue / near-black |
| Ink Orange | Cream / ink black / burnt orange |
| Grey Blue Green | Warm grey / powder blue / forest green |
| Moonlight Black | Charcoal / black / gold |
| Obsidian Black | Graphite / black / bone |
| Lime Mist | Black / ivory / lime |
Pick a colour above the Add to cart button and the photograph changes to that set.
Double-shot, and why that matters
Most printed keycaps at this price are dye-sublimated: the legend is a gas that soaks into the surface. It is durable, but it is still the surface, so a decade of typing eventually shows.
Double-shot is different. The legend is a separate piece of plastic, moulded into the cap body. The letter is not on the cap, it is inside it. Wear the surface down and the letter is still there.
You can see it in the macro shot in the gallery: the legend has the same hard edge as the stem, not the slightly fuzzy edge a printed legend has. That is what you are paying for.
Shape
OEM is the height most mechanical keyboards ship with, and it is sculpted: each row sits at a slightly different height and angle, so the caps curve up towards the back. Your fingers fall into a shallow bowl rather than sitting on a flat plane.
If you have only used a flat, uniform set, this will feel like the board has more shape under your hands. The surface itself is a fine matte — enough texture to stop your fingers sliding, not so much that it feels like sandpaper.

126 caps on a 6.25u spacebar. Stems are MX cross, so they fit Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Akko, Aula, MCHOSE and ATK boards alike — anything with an MX stem and a standard bottom row. Check your spacebar length before ordering: 7u bottom rows and split-spacebar layouts are not covered.
Specifications
Before you order
- 126 caps, not 128. The set covers a 104-key board plus the extras for 60% through 98-key layouts. If you need a key for a 108-key board’s extra macro column, this set does not have it.
- Colour is the only difference. Same material, same profile, same legends, same tray. The nine sets are not “good” and “cheap” versions of each other.
- OEM height is tall. If you are used to a low profile, the first day feels different. That is the profile, not a defect.
- Tray and box included. The caps ship in a moulded tray inside a printed box, so nothing rattles around in transit.
- Matte surface, honest wear. The fine texture will slowly smooth where your fingers rest and pick up a light sheen. On PBT that takes a long time, and because the legends are double-shot, the letters stay put regardless.
- Slight mould marks are normal. Look along the bottom edge of any cap in raking light and you may find a faint line from the mould. It is cosmetic and it is on every double-shot set at this price.
Keycaps only. The keyboards and props in the photographs are not included.
