The Art of Dye-Sublimation: Why Your Keyboard Font Shouldn't Fade Over Time

There is nothing worse than buying a brand-new keyboard only to have the letters on your most-used keys start fading away three months later. This happens because cheap keyboards use pad-printed legends, meaning the ink is simply stamped on top of the plastic.

Our curated line of premium keycaps solves this issue entirely through dye-sublimation. During the dye-sub process, the keycap legends are printed using high heat and intense pressure, causing the ink to actually permeate deep into the pores of the PBT plastic. The print doesn't sit on top of the keycap; it becomes a part of it. This means no matter how many millions of words you type, your legends will remain crisp, sharp, and perfectly clear forever—they physically cannot rub off.
