The sun is setting on the Solarized empire—but it’s doing just fine in the dark. Following an influx of community input, we decided to turn out the lights on this iconic IDE-theme-turned-keycap-set. You probably know where this is going. It’s about to get dark. Say hello to DCX Solarized Dark, created in collaboration with Ethan Schoonover: the theme’s original designer. With a color palette designed for aesthetic appeal and fatigue-free readability, this is one set that’s both shady and ultra-legible—thanks in part to our DCX injection process, where legends are injected to exacting tolerances of nearly 0.05 millimeters. The gently cylindrical DCX shape feels great too, showcasing subtly sculpted tops that are 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 DCX advantages and more—including truly hidden sprue marks, strong shine resistance, and excellent compatibility—with DCX Solarized Dark. It’s solar power—at its darkest hour.
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.
