Black Translucent Keycaps: Film Finish and Double-Shot Legends

Black keycaps showing the surface finish, white main legends and colored letter accents

Black Translucent Keycaps keep the board dark, with white main legends and small colored accents. Up close, a semi-translucent film adds depth to the surface. The main legends are formed by double-shot molding.

The keycaps let relatively little light through. The finish and lettering do most of the visual work, even on a board with RGB lighting.

Two details behind the finish

The semi-translucent film sits on the surface. It gives the black keys a layered finish without making the body highly transparent. In the photographs, the light visible between the keys comes through the gaps around them.

The main letters are molded as part of the keycap, rather than printed onto its face. This double-shot construction is a separate detail from the surface film. The colored accent details use screen printing.

A dark board with a few points of color

The 134-key ABS kit includes eight accent keys. Colored letters and arrows break up the black base without covering the whole board in color. The close-up photographs show how those small details sit against the dark surface.

Cherry profile uses sculpted rows. Keep the keys in their intended rows when installing the set, particularly if you are moving from a profile with a different shape.

Check the ANSI layout before ordering

This set supports ANSI layouts and does not include ISO support. Compare your Enter key, spacebar, right Shift and bottom row with the kit image, and confirm that your switches have compatible MX-style mounts. The 134-key count does not cover every unusual layout.
