Key Features
- Aesthetic Design: The keycaps feature a prominent cherry blossom (“Sakura”) theme, often with Japanese legends, on a red or gradient red base color. The specific artwork can vary between manufacturers (e.g., XVX Raven, GunMjo), but the core theme remains a Japanese aesthetic.
- Material: They are generally made from high-grade PBT plastic, known for its durability, resistance to oil and grease buildup, and a textured, matte finish that feels good to type on.
- Printing Method: The designs are commonly applied using dye-sublimation, which ensures the legends and graphics are vibrant, fade-resistant, and long-lasting, as the dye penetrates the keycap material.
- Profile: Most sets use the ergonomic Cherry profile, a popular, sculpted keycap shape that many users find comfortable for both typing and gaming due to its lower height and contouring.
- Compatibility: “Sakura Red” keycaps are designed to be widely compatible with mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX switches and their MX-styled clones (e.g., Gateron, Kailh), which have a cross-shaped stem. They typically come in full sets (e.g., 104, 132 keys) to fit various layouts, including 60%, TKL, and full-size ANSI keyboards.
- Backlighting: While the legends are dye-sublimated, some specific variants of keycaps with this theme are “shine-through”, meaning they are designed to work well with RGB or backlit keyboards, allowing the light to shine through transparent legends or the keycap sides.
