What customers say
This keycap set earns high praise primarily for its stunning visual design and unique tactile experience.

It is highly recommended for enthusiasts prioritizing aesthetics and a superior typing sensation.
Know before you buy
The SOA profile is a uniform, spherical profile that provides a consistent height across all rows. It is generally considered more comfortable for extended typing sessions and offers a distinct, retro-inspired aesthetic compared to the sculpted OEM or Cherry profiles.
This set is compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use MX-style switches, which are the industry standard. With 149 keys included, the set is designed to accommodate a wide range of layouts, including full-size, TKL, and various compact configurations.
The design is applied using five-sided heat sublimation, meaning the ink is infused directly into the PBT plastic rather than sitting on the surface. This process makes the graphics highly resistant to fading or wearing off, even with heavy daily use.
Yes, PBT plastic is denser and more heat-resistant than ABS. It is less prone to developing that unwanted 'shine' over time and provides a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium and stable under your fingertips.
No, these keycaps are opaque and do not allow light to shine through the legends. They are designed for aesthetic focus rather than for illuminating the characters on the keys.
