What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly love the KAT WoB Candy keycaps for their striking aesthetic and superior comfort. The White on Black base paired with vibrant Candy accents creates a unique, appealing look. Reviewers consistently praise the high quality of the PBT material, noting its smooth, durable texture and sharp, wear resistant legends. The KAT profile is a major highlight, offering a uniquely comfortable typing experience preferred by many over standard profiles for extended use. While the visual appeal and premium feel are undeniable, some users report minor quality control issues, specifically keycap warping on larger modifiers. Despite these occasional inconsistencies, the set remains highly regarded for its excellent design and typing satisfaction.
Know before you buy
The KAT profile is a sculpted, spherical keycap shape that is generally taller than Cherry profile but shorter than SA. It offers a comfortable, ergonomic feel that cradles your fingertips, making it well-suited for both long typing sessions and gaming.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The double-shot PBT construction is opaque, meaning your keyboard's backlight will not illuminate the legends.
The 1.6mm thickness is considered quite substantial for keycaps. This extra mass generally helps produce a deeper, more muted 'thocky' sound profile compared to thinner, standard-issue keycaps.
Yes. Because these are made from high-quality PBT plastic, they are significantly more resistant to the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps after heavy use. They maintain a matte, textured finish much longer.
The Base kit provides the standard set of keys needed to cover most common keyboard layouts. The Accent kit includes additional keys in different colors or styles, allowing you to customize the look of your board with unique modifiers or escape keys.
