What customers say
The KeyArtisan Song Dynasty keycap set is highly coveted for its breathtaking aesthetic and superior quality. Customers consistently praise the sophisticated design, noting how the muted colors and intricate dye sublimation beautifully capture the historical theme, turning keyboards into desktop art. The PBT material offers a satisfying texture and excellent durability, contributing to a resonant sound profile. Legends are exceptionally crisp, reflecting manufacturing precision.

Know before you buy
The MOA profile is a uniform, spherical keycap shape that is slightly taller and more rounded than standard OEM or Cherry profiles. It offers a consistent, comfortable feel across all rows, which many users find helps with typing accuracy and provides a satisfying, retro aesthetic.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard that uses MX-style cross-stem switches, which covers the vast majority of mechanical keyboards on the market. If your keyboard has standard stabilizers and switch stems, this set will fit.
With 139 keys included, this set is designed to support both standard ANSI and ISO layouts. It also provides enough variety in key sizes to accommodate most compact layouts, such as 65%, 75%, and TKL configurations.
Dye-sublimation is a highly durable printing method where the ink is infused directly into the plastic rather than sitting on top. Because these are made from premium PBT, the legends and icons will not fade or develop a shiny, greasy texture over time, even with heavy daily use.
This set uses an icon-only legend style, which prioritizes the Song Dynasty aesthetic over traditional text labels. While the novelty keys are intuitive, users who rely heavily on looking at their keys for navigation may experience a slight learning curve.
