This product is a set of custom keycaps called “Wukong”, designed for mechanical keyboards. Keycaps are the individual buttons on a keyboard, and “custom” means they are designed to replace the original keycaps of a keyboard, providing a different look and feel.
Material:
- PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate): Most of the keycap variations use PBT plastic.
- PC (Polycarbonate): One keycap variation uses transparent PC material. This plastic is often used for shine-through keycaps, allowing light from the keyboard’s backlighting to pass through.
Legend Printing Technology:
- Dye-sublimation: Uses heat to infuse the dye into the plastic material. The advantages of this method are:
- Extreme Durability: Images and legends are almost impossible to fade over time.
- Wear Resistance: Legends will not chip or peel like pad-printed legends.
- Rich Colors: Allows for printing a wide range of colors and complex patterns.
Keycap Shape:
- Original/Cherry Profile: The keycaps use the “Original” profile, commonly known as Cherry profile. This is a popular profile with the following characteristics:
- Medium Height: Not too high like SA profile, not too low like DSA profile.
- Slightly Sculpted Top: Helps to cup the fingers when typing.
- Different Row Angling: Creates comfort during long typing sessions.
Variations: There are many options for color, print style, and the number of keys:
Colors: There are main color versions (likely colors related to Sun Wukong) and white versions.
Print Style:
- Top-printed: Legends are printed on the top surface of the keycaps.
- Side-printed: Legends are printed on the side of the keycaps, creating a minimalist and unique look. This type is often more durable aesthetically because fingers do not directly contact the legends when typing.
