When you think about it, nighttime never really stops. But then again, neither does daytime. It all depends on where you are. Capturing that constant global duality, we’re taking our DCL Shadow keycaps worldwide with the new Drop DCL Shadow International Keycap Set. Bring jet-black darkness balanced by front-facing illumination to your keyboard in five new Base Kits: UK, German, French, Katakana, and Hangul. First unveiled on our CSTM80 and CSTM65 keyboards, our DCL keycaps were developed over the course of 2 years, meticulously crafted for a subtly sculpted typing experience that’s both familiar and undeniably unique. The profile itself is on the shorter side, but these ABS caps are among the thickest at their size, delivering a sturdy feel with excellent durability. Experience these advantages and more—including truly hidden sprue marks, strong shine resistance, and more—with DCL Shadow International. The glow, and shadow, has gone global.
In developing our DCL International Keycap Set, we took some creative liberty and created a “new” keyboard layout for the UK, German, and French Kits. With a slight keycap modification, we made it possible for these DCL keycaps to be used on ANSI keyboards (in other words, without a big ISO enter key)—all without missing any country-specific legends. With a programmable keyboard like those in our CSTM series, you can use layers on the newly included R2 1.50u key in a way that all legends are accessible. (Of course, this is really just an extra bonus. You can configure these keycaps with an actual, proper ISO keyboard, too—or a number of other layouts. All necessary keycaps are included.)
With fan-favorite, five-star profiles like DCX (Drop Cylindrical X) and DCD (Drop Cylindrical Dye-Sub), the Drop Cylindrical family of keycap profiles was no less than a labor of love. The newest member of that family—DCL (Drop Cylindrical Lumen)—was more like a labor of light. Where the first two profiles sport standard top-oriented legends, DCL features front-facing, laser-etched legends for a sleek shine-through aesthetic to showcase your keyboard’s backlighting. Of course, DCL still retains the shorter, subtly sculpted shape and overall build quality of the Drop Cylindrical family. The embodiment of our newest, most exacting build processes, DCL 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 legends, and you’ll find next to no flaws there either, since each one is laser-etched within ultra-precise tolerances. It’s a new standard in shine-through typing. It’s DCL, exclusively on Drop.
