Know before you buy
HSA stands for 'Half-SA.' It retains the iconic spherical, high-profile aesthetic of traditional SA keycaps but with a reduced height, making it more comfortable for extended typing sessions without needing a wrist rest.
These keycaps are designed for any keyboard using MX-style switches, which feature the standard cross-shaped stem. They support most ANSI layouts and common custom configurations like HHKB.
Doubleshot ABS uses two layers of plastic to form the keycap and the legend, ensuring the lettering will never fade or wear off. The material provides a smooth, premium feel, though it may develop a slight shine over time with heavy use.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The legends are solid plastic, so they will not transmit light from your keyboard's LEDs.
The set features a uniform gloss finish across all five surfaces of the keycaps. This provides a distinct, polished look and a smooth tactile experience compared to traditional matte-textured keycaps.
