The Miami color combination pictured is a personal favorite but they also come in a number of other styles.
DAS KEYBOARD 4 ULTIMATE REVIEW BLANK ISO
They will not, however, fit ISO layout keyboards. The YMDK Side Lits come with 104 keys, making them suitable for ANSI keyboards that are full-size or smaller.
Just be sure that your keyboard’s LEDs are under its stems and not above them, otherwise, the legends won’t be illuminated consistently. These keycaps are made with double-shot PBT and their legends allow LEDs underneath to shine through. That is why it still serves a symbol of power for elite typists. This style, also called ninja print, uses blank tops and printed sides to achieve a minimalist aesthetic without being as challenging to use as a fully blank keyboard.ĭon’t get me wrong, though, this style of keyboard is still tricky to use, especially if you use hunt-and-peck typing methods. The YMDK Side-Lit Shine-Through keycaps are an alternative to the normal YMDK Shine-Throughs that feature a popular aesthetic among enthusiasts: side print keycaps. This set ships with 108 keys, so it fits most any ANSI keyboard layout and even has volume up, volume down, mute, and calculator keycaps in case your keyboard has these less-common keys. Not everyone will love the understated white and gray color scheme of this keycap set but the sharp, sans-serif typeface definitely helps this keyboard stand out. Regardless, they are possibly the most satisfying type of keycaps to use. Unfortunately, the process is more expensive than double-molding keycaps so these keys are a little on the pricier side. The ink is sublimated into the keycaps under high heat, meaning that the legends are permanent and leave absolutely no texture.
It is a minor difference but it is one that matters to enthusiasts nonetheless. The legends on dye-sublimated PBT keycaps are more smooth and durable while the overall keycaps are just as thick as double-shot PBT keycaps. If you want your keyboard to feel like a work of art, then any of the Drop + MiTo collabs will do the trick.ĭucky is one of the best-known names in mechanical keyboards, so it should be no surprise that their White & Gray Dye-Sub keycap set delivers a top-quality typing experience. The keys also fit Cherry switches perfectly with absolutely no key wobble. Thankfully, they deliver in quality with ultra-durable dye-sublimated PBT plastic whose legends will never wear away. As a set of “designer” keycaps, they fetch a hefty price.
The even larger friction point is the price tag of the XDA Canvas keycaps. One detail that might turn off home row typists is the absence of an indent on the F and J keys. It takes some getting used to but many consider it superior to the layout that you find on most Cherry brand keycaps. Additionally, they are unsculpted, so there no difference in the curvature from one row to the next. XDA keys have a softer taper from top to bottom, which gives them a very different feel when typing. These keys have a minimalist yet powerful aesthetic, which is focused around the XDA profile of the keys. This is good news for enthusiasts as it is still available on Amazon in 64, 79, 94, and 114-key kits. The XDA Canvas keycaps come from one of the many popular Drop + MiTo collaborations which were originally offered on the website Drop.
