Know before you buy
The Ducato set is designed for keyboards using Cherry MX style switches with a cross-shaped stem. It supports standard ANSI layouts, so ensure your keyboard layout matches this configuration before purchasing.
The Cherry Profile is widely favored for its sculpted, ergonomic shape that sits lower than the standard OEM profile. This creates a comfortable, natural typing angle that reduces finger fatigue during extended use.
Dye-sublimated PBT plastic is highly durable and resistant to the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps over time. The dye-sublimation process also ensures the legends are permanently infused into the plastic, so they won't fade or peel with heavy use.
The metallic novelty keys add a distinct aesthetic flair and a slightly different tactile weight compared to the PBT keys. While they look premium, they are primarily intended for accent keys like the Escape or function row to maintain a consistent typing feel across your main typing area.
Yes, the transparent PC components allow your keyboard's RGB lighting to shine through more clearly than the opaque PBT keys. This creates a unique visual contrast, especially if you have per-key lighting enabled.
