Drop + ArqKeebs DCX Rocky Bird Keycap Set

Journey high into the cloud forests of Peru’s Andes mountains, and you may just catch a glimpse of one of the craziest birds out there. It’s called the Andean cock-on-the-rock—or the tunki, depending on who you talk to—and it just so happens to be the inspiration for our latest ArqKeebs-designed creation: DCX Rocky Bird. Whether you’re a fan of puffy Peruvian plumage or just partial to a tasteful red-and-black colorway, this may be the set you’ve been bird-watching for. Grab your binoculars and take a close look at some of ArqKeebs’ art-deco-inspired, insert-molded novelty legends, each injected to exacting tolerances of nearly 0.05 millimeters. Next, feel your way across our gently cylindrical DCX build: the product of over 2 years of meticulous development. The profile itself is on the shorter side, but the caps are among the heaviest at their size, delivering a sturdy feel with excellent durability. Catch these DCX advantages and more—including truly hidden sprue marks, strong shine resistance, and excellent compatibility—with DCX Rocky Bird. After all, a bird in the hand is worth two on the rocks.

Sporting a brand-new profile and a bar-raising build, DCX keycaps deliver a truly exceptional typing experience, down to the finest details. After the success of MT3, we set out to make a new keycap with an even higher standard of quality—and we left no stone unturned; or untyped. Taking over 2 years to refine our design, strengthen our manufacturing, and gather input from our community, we created a shorter, subtly sculpted keycap worthy of any endgame keyboard. The embodiment of our newest, most exacting build processes, DCX keycaps are made from ultra-substantial, proprietary ABS material that’s neither shiny nor hollow-sounding. For a truly blemish-free look that lasts, each keycap’s sprue mark is located on its interior (rather than on a finished side, like many caps). Look closely at the doubleshot legends, and you’ll find next to no flaws there either, since each one is injected within precise tolerances of nearly 0.05 millimeters. Plus, all DCX sets feature carefully considered design principles, including symmetrical vertical margins, consistent left-side legend alignment for all rows, and extensive Base Kit compatibility. It’s excellence, at every level. It’s DCX, exclusively on Drop.
