What customers say
Customers generally express a very positive sentiment towards the Leopold Red Alt Blank 2 Key Cherry Profile PBT Keycap Set. As expected from Leopold, a brand highly revered in the mechanical keyboard community, the quality of these keycaps is consistently highlighted as exceptional. Reviewers frequently praise the robust feel and satisfying texture of the PBT material, noting its superior durability and resistance to shine compared to standard ABS keycaps. The Cherry profile is a significant draw, offering a comfortable and familiar typing experience that many enthusiasts prefer. The 'blank' nature of the keycaps, while not for everyone, is particularly appreciated by touch-typists and those seeking a minimalist aesthetic, contributing to a clean and uncluttered keyboard appearance. The vibrant red color of these 'Alt' keys is often mentioned as a perfect accent, adding a subtle yet striking pop to various keyboard setups without being overly distracting. While some might initially find the price point for just two accent keys to be on the higher side, the overwhelming consensus is that the premium quality, precise molding, and the overall tactile experience justify the investment. There are very few negative remarks, typically only from those who might have misunderstood the 'blank' aspect or expected a full set. For enthusiasts looking to elevate their keyboard's aesthetics and feel with high-quality, durable accent keys, this Leopold set consistently exceeds expectations, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier choice for customization.
Know before you buy
Blank keycaps have no letters, numbers, or symbols printed on the surface. They are designed for users who prefer a minimalist aesthetic or who have mastered touch typing.
These keycaps are compatible with any keyboard that uses MX-style switches, which includes most standard mechanical keyboards from brands like Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh.
The Cherry profile is shorter and more sculpted than the standard OEM profile found on many pre-built keyboards. Many enthusiasts prefer it because the lower height and ergonomic curvature make for a more comfortable typing experience.
PBT is a high-quality plastic known for its durability and resistance to the 'shine' that develops on cheaper ABS keycaps over time. It also offers a slightly textured, matte finish that feels more premium under the fingers.
Because these keycaps are made from solid-colored PBT plastic rather than being painted or coated, the color is consistent throughout the material. You will not experience the color wearing off, even with heavy daily use.
