What customers say
This keycap set earns high praise primarily for its stunning Delftware aesthetic. Users consistently celebrate the faithful blue and white pattern reproduction and the crisp dye sublimation on the durable PBT plastic. The manufacturing quality is excellent, offering a satisfying texture that elevates typing. While the unique design is a major draw for collectors, some users find the DCS profile less familiar than Cherry.

Overall, it is celebrated as a must-have centerpiece for those prioritizing exceptional design and proven quality.
Know before you buy
The DCS profile is a sculpted, cylindrical keycap shape that is slightly lower in height than the standard OEM profile. It is known for its comfortable, ergonomic feel that mimics the classic look and tactile experience of vintage keyboards.
These keycaps are designed for switches with a Cherry MX-style stem, which includes most mechanical keyboard switches like Gateron, Kailh, and Cherry. Please ensure your keyboard layout uses a standard bottom row to guarantee full compatibility.
No, the legends are applied using a dye-sublimation process. This technique infuses the ink directly into the PBT plastic, making the characters highly resistant to wear and fading even with heavy daily use.
No, these keycaps are made of opaque PBT plastic and are not designed for shine-through backlighting. The legends will not illuminate if your keyboard has integrated LEDs.
PBT is a denser, more durable plastic that provides a textured, matte finish. Unlike ABS plastic, it is highly resistant to developing a 'shine' or greasy appearance from finger oils over time.
