What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Black Duckey Keycap Kit for its superior aesthetics and acoustic performance. The deep, uniform black colorway offers a sleek, professional look that complements many builds.

Legends are noted for their crispness and durability, reflecting robust manufacturing. The kit's comprehensive nature, offering extensive layout compatibility, is also highly valued.

This set is highly recommended for builders seeking a durable, visually striking, and acoustically pleasing upgrade.
Know before you buy
The Black Duckey Keycap is designed for standard 1u positions and is compatible with all Cherry MX style switches. As long as your keyboard uses this standard switch stem, it will fit.
The keycap is crafted from a durable ABS and PVC blend. This combination provides a sturdy, tactile feel that holds up well to regular daily use.
Because it is a 1u size, it is best suited for the function row, the escape key, or any other single-unit key position. It is designed as a decorative accent rather than a replacement for standard alphanumeric keys.
Installation is very straightforward. You simply pull off your existing keycap and press the Duckey keycap firmly onto the switch stem until it clicks into place.
The sleek black finish is relatively low-maintenance, though like most matte-finish ABS keycaps, it may show slight oils from your fingers over time. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep it looking clean.
