KCH & KAP Keycaps Design and Information

We have developed keycaps with different materials and processes for the Cherry profile, and we have named these product lines KCH and KAP.

KCH

It includes molds for both PBT and ABS materials:

1. PBT (2020)
  • Can use top dye-sublimation and five-sided dye-sublimation (reverse dye-sublimation)
  • Supports "Dye-sublimation+" processes
  • Custom colors available

2. ABS (2017) 
  • Available in glossy, matte, solid, semi-transparent, and fully transparent surfaces
  • Molds designed with "no ejector pin" structure to avoid marks in fully transparent products
  • UV printing can be applied on ABS keycaps
  • Various additives like glitter, pearlescent powder, fluorescent, and glow-in-the-dark can be added during injection molding
  • Custom colors available

Compare ABS and PBT keycaps based on material properties, durability, feel, and sound.

expected to complete all testing by August 15, 2024.
