What customers say
The SA Black & White Keycap Set is highly regarded for its premium quality and classic design. Customers consistently praise the thick, doubleshot ABS plastic, which delivers incredibly crisp legends and a deep, satisfying acoustic profile often called 'thock.' The high contrast black and white colorway offers timeless versatility. While the superior manufacturing justifies the high price as a worthwhile investment, the tall, sculpted SA profile requires a significant adjustment period for users accustomed to lower keycaps. Despite this physical learning curve, the set is celebrated as an iconic, high fidelity typing experience for dedicated SA enthusiasts.
Know before you buy
The SA profile is significantly taller than standard OEM or Cherry profiles and features a sculpted, spherical top. This design creates a deep, retro aesthetic and a distinct typing feel that cradles your fingertips.
This set is designed for keyboards with an ANSI layout and MX-style stems, such as Cherry MX, Gateron, or Kailh switches. Please ensure your keyboard uses this standard cross-shaped stem mount before purchasing.
No, the legends will not fade. Because these keycaps are manufactured using a doubleshot injection molding process, the legends are molded into the plastic itself rather than printed on the surface.
No, these keycaps are opaque and do not support shine-through backlighting. The legends are solid white and will not illuminate even if your keyboard has integrated LEDs.
These keycaps are crafted from high-quality ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its ability to produce crisp, sharp legends and a smooth, matte finish that feels premium under the fingers.
