Know before you buy
The Helleborus R2 set is crafted from high-quality ABS plastic. This material is chosen for its smooth texture and ability to produce vibrant, consistent colors.
These keycaps are designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market today.
Doubleshot molding involves injecting two different colors of plastic into the mold to form the keycap and the legend separately. This ensures the legends will never fade or wear off, even with heavy daily use.
The Cherry profile is widely considered the industry standard for a comfortable typing experience. It features a sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits slightly lower than the OEM profile, making it a favorite for both gaming and long typing sessions.
The set uses a sophisticated two-tone purple palette. The alphas feature a deep, moody purple, while the modifiers use a slightly richer, darker shade to create a subtle, elegant contrast that mimics the Helleborus flower.
