Drop + Booper DCX Deep Space Keycap Set

The journey to and from deep space is a long one—so it’s no surprise that it took us nearly 7 years to get the Mech Keys community back there. That’s right: we’ve reached Deep Space. Created by fan-favorite designer Booper and her company Omniclectic, this interstellar set was originally made by Signature Plastics in DSA profile. Now, it’s back in our new DCX profile. Send your fingertips to a final frontier of cool-toned purple, gray, and blue colors—and discover ultra-crisp doubleshot legends injected within exacting tolerances of nearly 0.05 millimeters. It’s a legendary look, with a subtly sculpted shape that’s both familiar and undeniably unique. 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. Experience these and the many additional benefits of DCX—including truly hidden sprue marks, strong shine resistance, incredibly crisp legends, and more—with DCX Deep Space.

Embodying the spirit of the Mech Keys community—and building a loyal fanbase through creative, high-quality creations—Booper is nothing short of a big name among keyboard enthusiasts. A graphic and web designer by trade, she brought her design skills to artisan keycaps, sets, and other accessories by way of Geekhack’s Making Stuff Together! threads. Drawn in by the comradery and collaboration on those forums, Booper learned the DIY fundamentals from “awesome people in the community.” Soon, she’d refined her skills and created a series of artisans, including the popular Cosmonaut and Keywok caps. She also unveiled her most popular full keycap set to date: Deep Space, a love letter to the cosmos and the color purple. Now a professional Mech Keys designer with her own company, Omniclectic, Booper is still doing big things. Here on Drop, we hope to bring those things over and share them with you. 

Exceptional attention to detail: it’s what defines DCX. After the success of MT3, we set out to make a profile 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 profile 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). Zoom in on 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 sport 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.
