Are you a keyboard enthusiast looking to personalize your setup? Or perhaps you’re new to the world of mechanical keyboards and feeling overwhelmed by the keycap choices? KCAP understands! Choosing the right keycaps can significantly impact your typing feel, sound, and overall aesthetic.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about keycaps, helping you make informed decisions and find the perfect set for your keyboard.
Keycap Materials:
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): A common and affordable plastic. Known for its smooth feel but can develop a shine over time.
- PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate): More durable than ABS, resists shine, and offers a textured feel, often preferred by enthusiasts.
Keycap Profiles:
- Cherry: A popular profile known for its comfortable typing angle and sculpted design.
- OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): A common profile, often found on pre-built keyboards.
- SA (Spherical Angled): Tall and spherical keycaps, offering a unique typing experience.
- Other profiles: There are many other profiles like XDA, DSA, etc.
Keycap Legends:
- Dye-sublimation: A durable printing method where the ink is infused into the keycap plastic.
- Double-shot: Two layers of plastic are molded together, creating legends that will never fade.
- Laser-etched: Laser burns the legend into the keycap surface.
Keycap Compatibility:
- Consider your keyboard’s layout (e.g., ANSI, ISO, 60%, TKL).
- Ensure compatibility with your keyboard’s switches (e.g., Cherry MX, Gateron).
