Key Features of Sakura Grey Keycaps
- Material: Most keycaps in this style are made from high-quality PBT plastic, which is known for being durable, resistant to wear and tear, and less prone to developing a greasy shine over time compared to ABS plastic.
- Design/Aesthetics:
- Colorway: They typically feature a grey base with pink and white accents, often incorporating Japanese “Sakura” (cherry blossom) and sometimes Mount Fuji motifs.
- Legends: The characters and designs are usually created using dye-sublimation (dye-sub) printing, which ensures the legends won’t fade or wear off, as the dye penetrates the keycap material.
- Side-Lit/Shine-Through (Optional): Some variations feature side-printed legends or a “shine-through” design to accommodate keyboard backlighting, especially for users with south-facing LEDs.
- Profile: They commonly come in the Cherry profile (slightly lower and more ergonomic than standard OEM, preferred by many enthusiasts for comfortable long typing sessions) or the OEM profile (standard, sculpted height).
- Compatibility:
- Switches: They are designed to be compatible with most mechanical keyboard switches that use the MX-stem (cross-shaped) design, such as Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh switches.
- Layouts: Sets are often comprehensive, including 129-135 keys to fit various standard ANSI layouts (e.g., 61, 68, 87, 104 keys), though some models are not compatible with non-standard layouts like those from Razer or Corsair.
- Typing Feel/Sound: The thick PBT material (around 1.3mm – 1.6mm) contributes to a more solid feel and a pleasing, balanced acoustic tone (often described as “thocky”) compared to thinner keycaps.
