What customers say
This PBT keycap set earns high praise for delivering exceptional value and vibrant aesthetics. Users consistently highlight the satisfying, thick PBT construction, which produces a desirable deep acoustic profile. The dye sublimated legends are vivid, crisp, and resist fading, maintaining the tropical color saturation over time. Satisfaction is further boosted by the comprehensive kit size, offering broad compatibility across many keyboard layouts and ample novelty options for personalization. While minor legend alignment variations sometimes appear, they are generally overlooked due to the set's overall premium feel and outstanding price point. It provides an experience often reserved for much costlier custom sets.
Know before you buy
The Cherry profile is a classic, low-profile shape favored by enthusiasts for its ergonomic, sculpted feel. The ASA profile is Akko's proprietary design, which is taller and more spherical, offering a distinct, modern typing experience that some find more comfortable for long sessions.
The set includes 157 total keycaps, covering standard layouts from 60% up to full-size boards. It supports common spacebar sizes of 6.25U and 7U, as well as various shift key sizes, making it highly compatible with most mechanical keyboard configurations.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The double-shot PBT construction is solid, meaning your keyboard's RGB lighting will only provide an underglow effect rather than illuminating the letters themselves.
The 85% PBT material is highly resistant to the oil buildup and 'shine' that typically develops on standard ABS plastic keycaps. Because the legends are double-shot molded, they are physically part of the keycap structure and will not fade or wear off with heavy use.
Yes, the set comes with 49 extra novelty keycaps in addition to the standard 108-key layout. These extras allow you to customize your board with unique accents that match the Macaw color theme.
