What customers say
The Qtuo Studio Year of the Dragon keycaps are highly praised for their exceptional quality and stunning design. Customers consistently highlight the durable PBT material and the crisp, vibrant artwork that beautifully captures the dragon motif. The rich colorway and premium heft significantly enhance both the look and feel of mechanical keyboards. While the artistry and thematic execution are considered top tier, the limited availability and premium pricing present a notable barrier to entry for some.

Know before you buy
These keycaps are designed for keyboards with a standard ANSI layout and use an MX-style cross stem. They are compatible with most Cherry MX and similar mechanical switches.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many users prefer it for its ergonomic feel and comfortable typing angle during long sessions.
No, the designs are applied using a dye-sublimation process, which infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic. This makes the legends and artwork highly resistant to fading and wear compared to surface-printed keycaps.
Because they are crafted from high-quality PBT plastic with a matte finish, these keycaps are significantly more resistant to the oily shine that often develops on standard ABS plastic caps.
These keycaps are made from solid PBT plastic, so they are not shine-through. The light from your keyboard's LEDs will not pass through the legends, though it will still create an underglow effect between the keys.
